XRP Emerges as 2026’s Hottest Crypto Trade

[chainsniff]

CNBC has crowned XRP the hottest crypto trade of the year, as the token storms into 2026 with standout performance. XRP has posted a 24% gain since the start of January, making it the second-best performer among the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization and pushing it firmly back into the spotlight.

The rally has allowed XRP to overtake BNB, securing its position as the fourth-largest digital asset. While the broader market saw a brief pullback due to profit-taking, XRP’s overall momentum remains strong, even as it briefly dipped to around $2.28 following a modest daily correction.
