Correction: Monero Never Hit $687
A number spread through crypto media in early 2026 claiming Monero hit $687. It did not. Credible market data does not support that figure.
The real picture is simpler: Monero traded in the low-to-mid $400s during that period, with local highs around the $430 range depending on the data source. Its all-time high still belongs to the 2021 cycle, not to an invented 2026 spike.
Why This Matters
Privacy and financial-sovereignty publishing only works if readers trust the facts. Bad price data is not cosmetic. It hurts credibility, distorts context, and gives critics an easy out.
How To Verify Price Claims
Check CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, exchange historical feeds, and primary charting sources before publishing a price milestone. If only weak blogs repeat a number, stop and verify before copying it.
