Prime Market v2.1 Released - Enhanced Multisig Escrow

Monero (XMR) Now Fully Supported
Following community requests, Prime Market now offers full Monero support for deposits, purchases, and withdrawals. Monero provides enhanced transaction privacy with built-in ring signatures and stealth addresses. XMR is now available alongside Bitcoin for all transactions. Recommended for users prioritizing maximum anonymity.
1000+ Verified Vendors Milestone Reached
