XRP News
Crypto-related stocks posted strong gains after experiencing sustained selling pressure in late 2025. Coinbase (COIN) received a buy rating from Goldman Sachs earlier Monday and rose nearly 9%. Strategy (MSTR) and Robinhood (HOOD) gained 5% and 6%, respectively.
Small-cap stocks posted double-digit gains. Bakkt (BKKT) jumped 30% higher, while Figure (FIGR) added 20%. Bitcoin miner Hut 8 (HUT) soared 15% on Monday, reaching almost $60 per share. The stock’s 2021 split-adjusted high of $76 may be within reach for long-time investors.
U.S. stocks also rose on Monday, with the Dow Jones up 1.4%. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 posted more modest gains of 0.7%. Precious metals remained volatile with an upward trend, with silver gaining 7% and gold 3%.
Lukman Otunuga, senior market analyst at FXTM, said Bitcoin could be positioned for a comeback in 2026 after falling more than 6% in 2025. Falling interest rates and dwindling supply of actively traded Bitcoin could create conditions for a recovery, as long-term holders who keep the coins off exchanges could tighten supply and support prices.
New tax reporting requirements in the United States could dampen retailer participation, Otunuga warned. Regulatory decisions targeting crypto-heavy businesses remain a risk. A sustained move above $100,000 could reignite record ambitions, while a drop below that threshold could leave Bitcoin vulnerable to deeper declines.
Support levels lie around $77,500 and $54,000 if selling pressure intensifies, according to Otunuga technical analysis.
