Interesting view.   Circle's Monero onramp for sure is important and such chance for adoption things usually move price, not the tech improvements, but it seems not in Monero anymore.  Altho you cant move your bought XMR from Circle, it will still help people buy Monero for speculative reasons. At crypto fewer times like late last years most people do exactly that. So this is a really important event for the next Bitcoin ATH when new hordes of speculators will try to buy their share of crypto heaven. Yes would be nice if we would have Monero on Coinbase until then.
