On January 19, 2026, Ripple‘s XRP fell from $2.06 to $1.97 amid a broad market correction. According to CoinGecko data, XRP is down 4.1% in the last 24 hours, 6.2% over the past week, 8.2% across 14 days, and 39.4% since January 2025, while monthly charts show a 3.8% gain.
Bitcoin slid from roughly $97,000 last week to about $92,000 today, pressuring altcoins and trading sentiment. According to CoinGlass data, the market recorded about $864 million in liquidations in the last 24 hours (Ed. note: this figure reflects significant short-covering and forced sales).
Traders also pointed to geopolitical friction linked to U.S. moves involving Greenland and allied responses. The situation followed President Trump’s push for U.S. control of Greenland and reports that some NATO countries offered military support to the Danish Kingdom.
XRP may stay under pressure in coming weeks as the market digests the October 2025 downturn and investors shift toward safer stores of value like gold and silver. Despite the pullback, XRP posted monthly gains and saw strong momentum in 2025, with CNBC calling it “hottest crypto trade of 2026”.
