Altcoins Surge Back Above $1.3T as Markets Rally After Greenland Crisis Resolution

CN
4 hours ago

Altcoins recovered on the afternoon of Jan. 22 as global markets rallied in response to the dramatic resolution of a Transatlantic crisis that had threatened to destabilize Western economies.

The combined market capitalization of altcoins, which had cratered to $1.25 trillion just 24 hours earlier, surged nearly 10% to an intraday high of $1.39 trillion before trimming some of those gains later in the session.

Ethereum ( ETH) led the rebound, climbing above $2,965 for a 0.5% gain over 24 hours. The token briefly dipped below $2,900 following President Donald Trump’s fiery address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Despite his trademark jibes and boasts, Trump’s remarks reassured markets after he ruled out using force to seize Greenland.

The optimism proved short-lived, however, as global equities and crypto retreated hours later only to climb up again after reports emerged that Trump had abandoned plans to impose tariffs on European nations opposing his Greenland ambitions. At press time, ETH remained below the $3,000 threshold but had spent much of the day trading above it.

BNB followed a similar trajectory. After plunging to $866, the world’s third-largest altcoin rebounded to $895 before consolidating near $884. At that level, BNB’s market capitalization hovered just shy of $121 billion, preserving its rank as the fourth-largest digital asset. XRP also showed resilience, bouncing 1.3% to $1.92 after sliding to $1.88 — its lowest since Jan. 2. Still, the token remains down 20% from its Jan. 6 peak of $2.40.

Other high-cap altcoins including DOGE, SOL, TRX, and ADA posted modest gains of 1% to 2% over the same period. By 10 a.m. EST on Jan. 22, the combined market capitalization of altcoins stood at roughly $1.32 trillion, marking a 5% increase in 24 hours.
