THORChain Integrates Monero and Zcash with Native Swap Support
THORChain, a decentralized exchange protocol, has released version 3.20, enabling native swaps for Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC). This upgrade addresses the reduced availability of these privacy-focused cryptocurrencies on centralized platforms due to regulatory pressures and delistings.
The THORChain 3.20 upgrade allows users to swap XMR and ZEC directly for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and major stablecoins, eliminating the need for wrapped assets or centralized intermediaries.
This move is particularly notable given the recent trend of centralized exchanges delisting privacy coins to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. THORChain's native support offers an alternative avenue for users who prioritize financial privacy, allowing them to trade these assets without relying on centralized infrastructure.
