Could be argued that it hasn't yet been picked up by exchanges for this reason.

Also, looking at the more corporate friendly Zcash which was dropped by Coinbase UK [0]. Likely from pressure from their banking partner ClearBank.

These coins won't last without a mechanism to covert to fiat.

Monero is traded at Kraken, a U.S.-based exchange. Kraken even has a banking charter in Wyoming.
