XRP Soars 18% as Bitcoin Rebounds Above $70K, Leading Token Rally

Published at 2026-02-06 19:00:23

XRP rallied about 18% during U.S. morning trade on Friday, emerging as the top performer among major tokens after bitcoin reclaimed the $70,000 level. The move wiped out steep losses seen on Thursday and coincided with a short-lived spike in bitcoin, signaling renewed buying interest and heavier order flow into risk assets. The rebound matters because it underscores how tightly altcoin sentiment remains tied to bitcoin’s price action; XRP’s outperformance could draw more attention from traders hunting momentum into the weekend. Market participants will be watching whether BTC can sustain gains above $70K and if XRP’s jump represents a lasting trend or a short-term correction amid elevated volatility.
