XRP Price Today: Why Washington’s Crypto Bill Has Traders Watching Thursday

New York, January 13, 2026, 10:14 ET — Regular session XRP edged up 0.36% in the last 24 hours, settling at $2.07 on Tuesday, with its price fluctuating between $2.04 and $2.11. (CoinMarketCap) Late Monday, U.S. senators introduced draft legislation aimed at creating a federal framework for digital assets and defining regulatory responsibilities. The bill would prohibit crypto companies from offering interest solely for holding dollar-pegged stablecoins but would permit certain rewards linked to transactions like payments or loyalty incentives. (Reuters) This is crucial now as the Senate is setting deadlines on a debate that’s long shadowed crypto prices: are

Cipher Mining stock pops as bitcoin firms, with CEO due at Needham fireside chat

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 10:11 EST — Regular session Cipher Mining Inc shares jumped 6.6% to $18.84 Tuesday morning, extending gains amid a choppy run for U.S.-listed bitcoin miners as bitcoin itself showed strength.

CleanSpark stock nudges higher as bitcoin firms; traders eye next catalyst for CLSK

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 10:17 EST — Regular session CleanSpark shares rose 1.8% to $12.18 on Tuesday, buoyed by a roughly 1.8% gain in bitcoin that boosted appetite for crypto-related stocks. Marathon Digital held steady, while Riot Platforms ticked up slightly, highlighting how miner stocks can quickly diverge as traders shift focus among them. This matters because miners frequently act as a high-volatility stand-in for bitcoin. When bitcoin strengthens, miners can surge sharply; when it falls, they tend to plunge quickly as investors adjust their expectations for future cash flow. CleanSpark is pushing to broaden its market beyond just

Bitcoin price today: BTC climbs after U.S. CPI, Senate crypto bill back in play

New York, January 13, 2026, 10:09 (EST) — Regular session Bitcoin rose on Tuesday after U.S. inflation data landed as expected and lawmakers moved again on a long-sought framework for crypto oversight. The world’s largest cryptocurrency was up about 1.7% at $92,369, after touching $92,751 earlier in the session. The move matters now because bitcoin is still trading like a rates-sensitive risk asset, reacting to shifts in Fed expectations almost as quickly as growth stocks do. It also reflects how much of the demand pipeline has moved into exchange-traded funds (ETFs) — stock-market funds that hold bitcoin — where flows

New York, January 13, 2026, 10:14 EST — Regular session U.S. Bancorp (USB) shares fell on Tuesday after the lender said it would buy Wall Street brokerage BTIG for up to $1 billion in cash and stock.
