GhostTerminal Daily Crypto Market Update – January 8, 2026
Welcome to your daily update on key crypto tokens: XRP, XLM, HBAR, FLR, and XDC. Let’s dive into their recent price moves and what might come next.
Token Prices & 24-Hour Changes
- XRP (Ripple): $2.09, down 6.84% in 24 hours
- XLM (Stellar): $0.227, down 3.86%
- HBAR (Hedera Hashgraph): $0.119, down 4.62%
- FLR (Flare Networks): $0.0114, down 6.76%
- XDC (XDCE Crowd Sale): $0.0491, down 4.26%
What’s Behind the Moves?
Most tokens saw modest declines today, continuing a slight pullback after recent gains. This is partly due to traders adjusting positions ahead of expected infrastructure developments in the crypto space during 2026. Additionally, some investors are cautious given the broader market’s current sentiment.
Specifically, Ripple’s XRP and Flare Networks’ FLR experienced larger dips possibly because of short-term profit-taking after news of increased adoption and advocacy efforts in crypto. Stellar (XLM), Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR), and XDC also followed the trend but with smaller losses.
Looking Ahead: Next 48 Hours
With the crypto market focusing on infrastructure growth—moving beyond speculation as noted by B. Riley—these tokens are likely consolidating before potential upward moves. Expect XRP and FLR to stabilize as their platforms gain more attention, especially with ongoing developments in blockchain utility.
XLM, HBAR, and XDC could see moderate recovery as investors absorb news about tokenized assets and yield opportunities, like the new 13% yield offering on tokenized Brazilian credit card debt via BlackOpal’s GemStone platform. This suggests increasing real-world applications that often support price stability and growth.
Bitcoin & Ethereum Context
- Bitcoin (BTC): $89,820, down 2.25% in 24h
- Ethereum (ETH): $3,091, down 3.68%
BTC and ETH also showed slight declines, reflecting a cautious market mood. These two remain important as benchmark cryptocurrencies, and their stability supports overall market confidence.
TL;DR
Today’s small pullbacks in XRP, XLM, HBAR, FLR, and XDC reflect a market pause as investors prepare for 2026’s shift from speculation to infrastructure in crypto. With Bitcoin and Ethereum holding steady, expect these tokens to consolidate and potentially rebound within 48 hours as real-world applications and advocacy efforts gain momentum.
