Don't just focus on BTC breaking 93,000 and ETH holding above 3,200. The first week of the year (Jan 1–Jan 6) saw other major coins surge! Here's some solid data—after reading this, you'll know which coins are quietly gaining strength:
XRP surged 12.19%, jumping from $1.84 to $2.39, reclaiming the $2 mark; DOGE was even stronger, rising from $0.12 to $0.15 in four days, with a weekly gain of 13.3%; even ADA rose 4.83%, holding above $0.42. In contrast, BCH dipped slightly by 0.37%, while stablecoins USDT and USDC remained nearly unchanged—this divergence is striking!
Some might ask why some coins go up while others go down? The key lies in two factors: first, whether regulatory benefits hit the mark, and second, whether institutional funds find them attractive. For example, XRP benefited from the shift in U.S. regulatory stance, while DOGE rode the wave of renewed meme coin sentiment. Coins without hot topics naturally get overlooked by funds.
A quick reminder: market sentiment has recovered from 'extreme fear' to 28, and funds are beginning to rotate into mid and small-cap mainstream coins. Stop fixating on BTC/ETH; coins with clear positive catalysts may offer greater short-term opportunities. I'll break them down one by one in the next few posts—make sure to follow～
