CNBC Names XRP the Hottest Crypto Trade of 2026, Surpassing Bitcoin and Ethereum

During a January 6 Power Lunch segment, CNBC highlighted Ripple’s XRP as the "hottest crypto trade of the year" for early 2026, ahead of Bitcoin and Ethereum, after the token climbed more than 20% and moved into the top three by market value. XRP's rapid move from under $1.85 to above $2.40, combined with steady spot ETF inflows and lower exchange balances, underscores a broader investor shift toward higher-beta altcoins such as XRP and Solana.
