XCN Price Jumps 15% as IP Price Rallies 26% Today

Onyxcoin (XCN) and Story Protocol (IP) were among some of the biggest gainers in the crypto market in the past 24 hours. 

Both altcoins surged over 10% throughout the past trading session, even as investor sentiment remains risk-off and the broader digital asset market continues to trade flat. 

XCN Soars 15% as Onyxcoin Prepares for South Korea Expansion

Data from CoinCodex shows that XCN’s price jumped more than 15% in the past 24 hours.

That surge in price comes after the Onyxcoin team said that they are in the process of expanding their presence in South Korea, which has some of the most active traders in the crypto market. 

In a Jan. 11 X post, the team said that the project’s website is now available in Korean. As Onyxcoin prepares to expand its presence in South Korea, the project also said that it is looking for a second Korean-speaking ambassador to assist with the upcoming expansion in the region. 

The recent announcement has added fuel to what has been a medium-term bullish rally for XCN. Over the past month, the crypto’s price has soared more than 75%. A large portion of these gains was recorded in the past week, with the altcoin soaring over 56% in the last 7 days. 

IP Rallies As Story Protocol Looks To Grow Ambassador Count

While XCN has managed to soar over 15% in the past 24 hours, it was outperformed by IP, which posted a more than 26% gain during the same period.

Data from CoinCodex shows IP trades at $2.56 at the time of writing. The rally came after the team reiterated their goal to grow the project’s ambassador count.

“With the new year, new OG standards, and first new OGs, we are ready to grow another major part of the Story community: our ambassadors,” the project’s team wrote on X.

That’s after the team welcomed the project’s first “OGs” last week. 

Crypto Sentiment Still Fearful

The strong 24-hour performances posted by XCN and IP stand out because these surges happened while sentiment in the overall crypto market remains fearful. 

Currently, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which is a popular tool used by traders and investors to gauge sentiment in the market, stands on a score of 27/100. This indicates “Fear.” 

Since the start of the year, the sentiment tool’s readings have oscillated between the low- to high-20s. It did break out to above 40 on Jan. 6 and Jan. 7, which coincided with a relief rally in the market, but has since dropped back down to “Fear” levels. 

The ongoing cautious sentiment can be seen by the price performances of most of the cryptos in the market in the past 24 hours. Overall, the digital asset space’s capitalization has dropped a fraction of a percentage.

Bitcoin Has Taken Gold’s Role In Today’s World, Eric Trump Says

Eric Trump on Tuesday described Bitcoin as a “modern-day gold,” calling it a liquid store of value that can act as a hedge to real estate and other assets. Related Reading: XRP’s Biggest Rally Yet? Analyst Projects $20+ In October 2025 According to reports, the remark came during a TV appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, tied to the launch of American Bitcoin, the mining and treasury firm he helped start. Company Holdings And Strategy Based on public filings and company summaries, American Bitcoin has accumulated 2,443 BTC on its balance sheet. That stash has been valued in the low hundreds of millions of dollars at recent spot prices. The firm mixes large-scale mining with the goal of holding Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, which it says will help it grow both production and asset holdings over time. Eric Trump’s comments were direct. He told viewers that institutions are treating Bitcoin more like a store of value than a fringe idea, and he warned firms that resist blockchain adoption. The tone was strong at times, and the line about Bitcoin being a modern equivalent of gold was used to frame American Bitcoin’s role as both miner and holder.   Eric Trump has said: bitcoin is modern-day gold — unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) September 16, 2025 How The Company Went Public American Bitcoin moved toward a public listing via an all-stock merger with Gryphon Digital Mining earlier this year, a deal that kept most of the original shareholders in control and positioned the new entity for a Nasdaq debut. Reports show that mining partner Hut 8 holds a large ownership stake, leaving the Trump family and other backers with a minority share. The listing brought fresh attention and capital to the firm as it began trading under the ticker ABTC. Market watchers say the firm’s public debut highlights two trends: mining companies are trying to grow by both producing and holding Bitcoin, and political ties are bringing more headlines to crypto firms. Some analysts point out that holding large amounts of Bitcoin on the balance sheet exposes a company to price swings, while supporters argue it aligns incentives between miners and investors. Related Reading: Ethereum Bulls Target $8,500 With Big Money Backing The Move – Details Reaction And Possible Risks Based on coverage of the launch, investors have reacted with both enthusiasm and caution. Supporters praise the prospect of a US-based miner that aims to be transparent and aggressive about building a reserve. Critics point to governance questions, possible conflicts tied to high-profile backers, and the usual risks of a volatile asset being held on corporate balance sheets. Eric Trump’s remark that Bitcoin has taken gold’s role in today’s world reflects both his belief in its value and American Bitcoin’s strategy of mining and holding. Whether that view sticks will depend on how investors and institutions respond in the months ahead. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
