🚨 XRP Targets $2.60 After Jan 1 Breakout – Live Blog on Epic Rally Momentum

2026 is shaping up to be a strong year for crypto – or at least the opening days are making a solid case for it. After a fairly quiet end to last year, the first week of January delivered a noticeable shift in momentum. Traders woke up almost immediately.

In just seven days, the total crypto market cap expanded by roughly $250 billion, pushing the overall valuation to $3.297 trillion. The digital gold also showed strength, reclaiming the $92,000 price level and finally putting last year’s rough finish behind it.

As fear slowly gives way to cautious optimism, as always, attention is starting to drift toward popular altcoins. One of the biggest beneficiaries so far has been Ripple. XRP is already up 23% this year, with its price now sitting at $2.28 – a meaningful recovery from the recent $1.83 low.

Another project drawing headlines is SUI. Fueled by growing interest in Layer-1 ecosystems, the token jumped 34% in just two weeks. That rally looks impressive, although it’s worth noting that SUI is still trading roughly 60% below its levels from last year.

In today’s liveblog, we’ll explore what’s driving this early surge, take a broader look at the market, and dive into XRP’s current price action. If you want to stay up to date and dig deeper into today’s XRP news, you’re in the right place. Stay tuned!
