Monero (XMR) — 51% Attack Risk Suggests Short-Term Weakness, Watch Closely

I read the OKX piece on Monero and the 51% attack risk and I view it as a credible short-term threat to price and confidence. A successful majority-hash attack would enable reorgs and double-spends that would spook investors and likely trigger a rapid sell-off.

That said, Monero’s core fundamentals — broad privacy use case, active development, and diversified miner interest under RandomX — reduce the probability of a prolonged, sustained takeover. Any disruption would probably be resolved operationally or via community responses, limiting long-term damage.

I’m watching on-chain metrics and market sentiment closely: if reorgs or abnormal hash-rate concentration appear, I’d avoid new longs until the network stabilizes; if the market overreacts, I’d consider staged buys on confirmed weakness after clear signs of mitigation.
