Bitcoin price jumps above $94,000 as Coinbase stock rallies; payrolls report is next test

New York, January 5, 2026, 17:15 EST — After-hours Bitcoin jumped about 3.3% to $94,191 on Monday, trading near the top of its intraday range in late U.S. hours. Traders pinned part of the move on a burst of risk-taking after the United States said it struck Venezuela and captured President Nicolás Maduro over the weekend. Some investors said markets often swing back to risk-on once a conflict begins, even as headline risk stays elevated.

XRP pops again as U.S. spot ETF assets near $1.4B and buy pressure hits month-high

New York, January 5, 2026, 14:32 EST XRP rose about 9% to $2.27 on Monday after trading between $2.08 and $2.27, according to market data. The move is drawing attention to XRP-linked exchange-traded funds (ETFs), listed vehicles that track an asset and trade like a stock. Traders are watching whether steady ETF demand is starting to show up more clearly in the token’s spot price. U.S.-listed spot XRP ETFs took in about $43 million last week and now hold $1.37 billion in net assets, FXStreet reported, citing SoSoValue data.

IREN stock jumps 11% as bitcoin rallies — what’s driving Nasdaq: IREN today

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 14:26 EST — Regular session IREN Limited shares climbed about 11% on Monday afternoon, outpacing the broader market as bitcoin pushed higher and traders returned to crypto-linked equities. The stock was last up at $47.36. The move matters because IREN still trades as a high-beta proxy for bitcoin prices, even as it markets itself as an AI infrastructure supplier with large power-backed data center sites. That mix can amplify swings when risk appetite shifts. GlobeNewswire Broader U.S. equities were also firmer, and “we’re seeing a risk on mood,” Steve Sosnick, chief market analyst at Interactive

XRP price today: Ripple-linked token jumps above $2.20 as crypto stocks rise, CoinShares flags inflow surge

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 13:46 EST — Regular session XRP rose about 7% to $2.23 on Monday, pushing the token associated with payments-focused blockchain firm Ripple back above the $2.20 area as the broader crypto complex advanced. CoinMarketCap The move matters because traders entered 2026 watching whether early-year risk appetite would spill from bitcoin into more volatile “altcoins” such as XRP. A CoinShares report published on Monday pointed to a rotation toward select tokens via investment products that track crypto prices. CoinShares Research Blog Macro risk is also back in focus.

Bitcoin price jumps near $94,000 as Coinbase stock surges on Goldman upgrade, Strategy buys more BTC

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 13:41 EST — Regular session Bitcoin rose 3.3% to $94,161 by early afternoon on Monday, and crypto-linked stocks climbed with it. Coinbase gained 7.6% and Strategy added 2.9%, while miners Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms were up about 5.7% and 2.7%, respectively. The rebound came as investors weighed heightened geopolitical risk after the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a weekend operation. The move has sparked legal and diplomatic backlash and revived concern over spillovers into energy markets and broader risk appetite.

Hut 8 Corp stock jumps 12% as bitcoin pushes higher — traders eye Friday jobs data

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 12:22 EST — Regular session Hut 8 Corp shares rose about 12% on Monday, extending a rally in crypto-linked stocks as bitcoin climbed. The Nasdaq-listed stock traded at $57.47 after earlier touching $58.08, up from Friday’s close. The move matters because miners often act like a leveraged bet on bitcoin: they earn revenue in bitcoin, while many costs such as power and equipment are relatively fixed in the short run. When bitcoin moves, cash-flow expectations can reprice fast, and the equities tend to swing harder. Investors are also watching U.S. economic signals that can ripple

RIOT stock rises as bitcoin climbs; Riot’s data-center pivot and $500 million share-sale plan in focus

RIOT stock rises as bitcoin climbs; Riot’s data-center pivot and $500 million share-sale plan in focus

New York, January 5, 2026, 12:20 EST — Regular session Shares of Riot Platforms, Inc were up 2.4% at $14.50 by midday on Monday, tracking a roughly 2.5% rise in bitcoin to about $93,612. Trading volume topped 6.4 million shares. Riot is one of several U.S.-listed bitcoin miners whose shares often move more than the token itself, making the stock a higher-volatility proxy for crypto sentiment. That leverage works both ways when prices reverse. The bigger question for miners in early 2026 is whether they can reduce dependence on bitcoin’s cycle by building out large data centers for power-hungry computing

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 12:26 EST — Regular session Shares of TeraWulf Inc (WULF) rose 4.9% to $13.36 in midday trading on Monday, lifting with bitcoin as crypto-linked stocks caught a bid. The move matters now because miners often trade as a high-beta proxy for the token: when bitcoin rises, revenue expectations can improve quickly, while power and infrastructure costs tend to adjust more slowly. Risk appetite also steadied across markets after weekend geopolitical headlines, leaving investors focused on the near-term path for U.S. interest rates and the data that could reset it.

New York, January 5, 2026, 11:40 EST — Regular session Shares of IREN Limited jumped about 10% in morning trading on Monday as bitcoin rebounded, pulling crypto-linked stocks higher. The Nasdaq-listed stock was up $4.42 at $47.12 by 11:40 a.m. EST, after trading between $43.64 and $47.21, while bitcoin rose about 2.8% to $93,836. The move matters because IREN has become a high-beta bet on both crypto prices and the buildout of computing power for artificial intelligence. Miners’ shares often swing more than bitcoin because revenue tracks the coin price while power and other operating costs tend to move more

Coinbase stock jumps after Goldman upgrade as Bitcoin trades near $94,000 — what investors watch next

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 11:57 EST — Regular session Coinbase Global (COIN.O) shares rose about 7% to $253.63 in late-morning trade on Monday after a Goldman Sachs upgrade put the crypto exchange back on traders’ buy lists. The call matters now because crypto-linked stocks are moving with a fresh leg higher in bitcoin, and investors have been looking for reasons to own the larger “picks-and-shovels” names rather than smaller, more volatile plays. For Coinbase, the immediate question is whether the company can keep shifting its business mix toward steadier revenue streams as crypto trading ebbs and flows with price

CleanSpark stock jumps 7% as bitcoin rallies; miners rise with February earnings in view

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 11:00 EST — Regular session CleanSpark Inc shares rose about 7% on Monday, tracking a rally in bitcoin and a broader lift in U.S.-listed crypto miners. The stock was up at $12.37 in late morning trade. The move matters now because bitcoin miners’ cash generation is tightly linked to the token’s price: higher prices typically mean richer block rewards in dollar terms. Bitcoin was up 2.8% at roughly $93,862, helping buoy sentiment across the group. Mining investors are also watching signs that competition may be easing. JPMorgan analysts Reginald Smith and Charles Pearce wrote the

Robinhood stock jumps nearly 5% as bitcoin tops $93,000; traders eye Feb. 10 results

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:58 (EST) — Regular session Shares of Robinhood Markets Inc (HOOD.O) rose 4.7% to $120.60 in morning trading on Monday, riding a broad bid for crypto-linked stocks as bitcoin pushed higher. The move matters because Robinhood’s revenue is tied to customer activity, including crypto trading and options. When crypto prices swing, traders often expect shifts in “transaction-based” revenue — the money the company earns from customer trades and related activity. The broader market tone also turned more supportive for risk assets, with investors focused on whether large-cap tech can regain traction after a choppy end

Stellantis stock rattled by $26.5 billion EV reset and dividend halt ahead of Monday trade

7 February 2026
Milan, February 7, 2026, 10:54 (CET) — Market closed. Stellantis shares (STLA) closed at $7.28 in New York on Friday, down 23.8%, after the Jeep maker unveiled a €22.2 billion ($26.5 billion) hit tied to scaling back electric-vehicle plans and said it would not pay a dividend in 2026. The selloff matters going into next week because it forces a quick rethink on cash and capital returns at a company investors once treated as a high-yield play. With markets shut for the weekend, traders will be looking for any follow-through from credit markets and analysts before Monday’s open. In Europe,
