It’s not much to go on just yet, but on 2026’s first official trading day, a change could be afoot as crypto prices are actually rising while American markets are open.
The action has pushed bitcoin above $90,000, up 2.5% over the past 24 hours. Ether , solana and are seeing advances closer to 4%.
Assets in general are on the rise in the year’s first session, with the Nasdaq higher by 0.6%, led by AI-related chipmakers like Nvidia, Broadcom, Micron and Intel posting 3%-6% gains. Favored commodity play of late, silver has added 3%. Gold and copper are each modestly higher.
Bitcoin miners turned AI infrastructure firms are sharply higher across the board, with Hut 8 (HUT), CleanSpark (CLSK), TeraWulf (WULF) sporting 10% gains, and Cipher Mining (CIFR) and IREN (IREN) each higher by 8%.
Strategy (MSTR) and Coinbase (COIN) are each ahead more than 3%, Galaxy Digital (GLXY) by 7% and Circle Financial (CRCL) by 4.5%.
