Abacus Market – a major Monero/Bitcoin darknet platform – abruptly shut down on July XX after processing $300–$400M in XMR transactions. While unconfirmed as an exit scam or seizure (TRM Labs), the event:
- Revived concerns about XMR’s regulatory targeting
- Coincided with XX% deposit drop on remaining darknet platforms
