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

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

XRP price edges up as Washington’s crypto bill draft and CPI loom

XRP price edges up as Washington’s crypto bill draft and CPI loom

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 06:28 EST — Premarket Early Tuesday, XRP climbed roughly 1% to $2.06, recovering from a volatile spell and tracking alongside bitcoin and ether’s advances. The move arrives amid growing efforts in Washington to establish regulations for digital assets, a development that could redefine how tokens are regulated and determine who can sell them to U.S. investors. (Barron’s) Ripple, the firm closely linked to XRP, has also pushed a legal angle in this debate. In a letter released by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Ripple urged the agency not to adopt methods that “collapse the

Crypto ATM crackdowns are spreading — and Bitcoin Depot stock is in the frame

Crypto ATM crackdowns are spreading — and Bitcoin Depot stock is in the frame

NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 05:23 EST Shares of Bitcoin Depot Inc rose roughly 4.6% to $1.37, even as the bitcoin ATM operator faces increasing regulatory pressure from U.S. cities and states cracking down on crypto kiosks amid a surge in fraud complaints. That’s key for operators since these machines — known as virtual currency kiosks — convert cash into crypto and transfer it to a digital wallet. Regulators say scammers often use this method to rush victims into paying. A recent PYMNTS report highlighted fresh local bans and stricter state limits, noting that warning labels and ID verification are

Capital One stock drops on Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap talk as $425 million depositor settlement advances

Capital One stock drops on Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap talk as $425 million depositor settlement advances

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 16:33 EST — After-hours Shares of Capital One Financial dropped 6.4% to $233.20 in after-hours trading Monday, dragged down by a widespread selloff among credit-card lenders. The slide followed President Donald Trump’s call to impose a 10% cap on credit-card interest rates for one year. (Reuters) The proposal targets Capital One’s main revenue driver: interest on revolving credit-card balances. It comes as the company grapples with new developments in a long-standing fight with depositors over interest rates on certain savings accounts. (Reuters) On Friday, Trump urged for the cap to start on Jan. 20 but

Visa stock slides as Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap talk hits payments names

NEW YORK, January 12, 2026, 13:15 ET — Regular session Shares of Visa Inc dropped Monday, weighed down by investor selling following President Donald Trump’s call to cap credit-card interest rates for one year. By 1:15 p.m. ET, Visa had slipped $5.52, or 1.6%, to $344.25. Mastercard shares fell 1.8%, and American Express dipped 4.2%. The proposal zeroes in on banks and card issuers responsible for setting interest rates, leaving networks like Visa untouched. Still, traders see it as a fresh indication that Washington is ready to intervene in consumer finance, a move that often ripples across the entire payments

XRP price stock today: Ripple token slips near $2 as Fed probe and U.S. crypto bill loom

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 12:51 (EST) — Regular session XRP dipped roughly 1% to near $2.07 on Monday, as traders digested new political uncertainty tied to the Federal Reserve and braced for a U.S. Senate crypto bill session scheduled for later this week. This move is significant because crypto is once again acting like a pure risk gauge. When policy headlines jolt rates and the dollar, smaller tokens can see sharp swings—even if there’s no XRP-specific news out there. Another factor: Washington might finally set firmer boundaries on which regulator handles what in crypto — a core plumbing issue

Tennessee crackdown hits Kalshi, Polymarket and Crypto.com sports contracts — Kalshi says it’s suing

Tennessee crackdown hits Kalshi, Polymarket and Crypto.com sports contracts — Kalshi says it’s suing

Nashville, January 12, 2026, 11:00 CST Tennessee’s sports betting regulator has ordered prediction market platforms Kalshi, Polymarket, and Crypto.com to halt offering sports event contracts to state residents. The companies received cease-and-desist letters demanding they stop operations immediately. (crypto.news) This shift is significant as sports-linked prediction markets have grown rapidly, muddying the waters between trading and gambling. States that regulate sportsbooks are now pushing to regulate these contracts similarly, aiming to curb their rise as a go-to method for “betting” on games. The platforms see this as a battle for territory. They insist these contracts qualify as financial products rather

Barclays stock slides on Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap call as investors size up profit hit

London, January 12, 2026, 10:13 GMT — Regular session underway. Shares of Barclays (BARC.L) in London dropped 3.5% on Monday following U.S. President Donald Trump’s push to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. Barclays’ U.S. card business ranks ninth in that market, accounting for roughly 11% of the group’s profits, said Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. (Reuters) The shift is significant as it pulls politics directly into consumer lending, a space known for high margins but also sudden regulatory shifts that can upend the numbers. For Barclays, U.S. credit cards have been a relatively straightforward growth

XRP price today: Ripple’s UK FCA approvals put the $2 level back in focus

XRP price today: Ripple’s UK FCA approvals put the $2 level back in focus

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 10:14 ET — Regular session XRP slipped about 0.5% Friday, trading at $2.09, even after Ripple secured fresh regulatory approvals in the UK. The token hovered just shy of $2, holding steady despite the news. UK permissions matter—a lot—since regulation is still the main force dictating whether crypto firms can target large institutions, and whether banks will even approach token rails. Ripple is banking on licensing, aiming to reshape its payments unit into something closer to backbone infrastructure, moving away from its image as just another crypto bet. XRP’s been acting like a high-beta risk

XRP price slides nearly 6% as early-2026 rally cools, ETF flows and U.S. crypto bill in focus

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 07:09 (EST) — Premarket XRP, the token used by Ripple, fell 5.9% to $2.25 in early trading on Wednesday, after touching $2.39 and as low as $2.22. Bitcoin slipped about 2% and ether, the token of the Ethereum network, eased 0.8%, pointing to a broader pullback across major cryptocurrencies. The dip comes after XRP rose 25% in the first week of 2026, helped by steady buying in U.S.-listed XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), listed products that trade like stocks. Investors have poured $1.3 billion into XRP ETFs since the first launch in November, data cited by

Regulator says Tunbridge Wells water outage was preventable as South East Water boss faces MPs

London, Jan 6, 2026, 16:19 GMT Britain’s Drinking Water Inspectorate said a breakdown at South East Water’s Pembury treatment works in Kent that left 24,000 homes around Tunbridge Wells without safe drinking water for two weeks was spotted weeks earlier and could have been stopped. Chief inspector Marcus Rink told MPs the firm failed to run tests requested by the regulator and to install a filter to stop heavy metals after a key treatment chemical failed, and he said it was “flying blind”. Rink added: “It shouldn’t have been a surprise,” while chief executive David Hinton said the incident followed

It also underscores the UAE’s push to position itself as a hub for supervised digital-asset activity. Binance
