DALKE requested payment in the specific type of cryptocurrency because “as in these things privacy is extremely important.”

Using the cryptocurrency address DALKE provided, on or about August 24, 2022, the OCE deposited approximately 0.64053413 units of the requested cryptocurrency, worth approximately $99.90 USD, in DALKE’s account to make sure the address worked.
XMR was ~$155 on that date. 0.64053413 X $155 = $99.28. So that confirms it.
