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

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.

Which Altcoins Stand to Gain from the SEC’s New ETF Listing Standards?

Which Altcoins Stand to Gain from the SEC’s New ETF Listing Standards?

On Wednesday, the US SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) took a landmark step in crypto regulation, approving generic listing standards for spot crypto ETFs (exchange-traded funds). This new framework eliminates the case-by-case 19b-4 approval process, streamlining the path for multiple digital asset ETFs to enter the market in the coming weeks. Grayscale’s Multi-Crypto Milestone Grayscale secured a first-mover advantage as its Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) received approval under the new listing standards. Products that will be traded under the ticker GDLC include Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. “Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund $GDLC was just approved for trading along with the Generic Listing Standards. The Grayscale team is working expeditiously to bring the FIRST multi-crypto asset ETP to market with Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano,” wrote Grayscale CEO Peter Mintzberg. The approval marks the US’s first diversified, multi-crypto ETP, signaling a shift toward broader portfolio products rather than single-asset ETFs. Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas explained that around 12–15 cryptocurrencies now qualify for spot ETF consideration. However, this is contingent on the altcoins having established futures trading on Coinbase Derivatives for at least six months. This includes well-known altcoins like Dogecoin (DOGE), Litecoin (LTC), and Chainlink (LINK), alongside the majors already included in Grayscale’s GDLC. Altcoins in the Spotlight Amid New Era of ETF Eligibility Several assets have already met the key condition, regulated futures trading on Coinbase. For example, Solana futures launched in February 2024, making the token eligible as of August 19. “The SEC approved generic ETF listing standards. Assets with a regulated futures contract trading for 6 months qualify for a spot ETF. Solana met this criterion on Aug 19, 6 months after SOL futures launched on Coinbase Derivatives,” SolanaFloor indicated. Crypto investors and communities also identified which tokens stand to gain. Chainlink community liaison Zach Rynes highlighted that LINK could soon see its own ETF. He noted that both Bitwise and Grayscale have already filed applications. Meanwhile, the Litecoin Foundation indicated that the new standards provide the regulatory framework for LTC to be listed on US exchanges. Hedera is also in the spotlight, with digital asset investor Mark anticipating an HBAR ETF. Market observers see the decision as a potential turning point for broader adoption, bringing the much-needed clarity and accessibility for investors. At the same time, it boosts confidence in the market’s maturity. The general sentiment is that with the SEC’s approval, the next phase of crypto ETFs is no longer a question of ‘if,’ but ‘when.’ The shift to generic listing standards could expand the US-listed digital asset ETFs roster beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. Such a move would usher in new investment vehicles covering a dozen or more altcoins. This represents the clearest path yet toward mainstream, regulated access to diversified crypto exposure. More importantly, it comes without the friction of direct custody. “We’re gonna be off to the races in a matter of weeks,” ETF analyst James Seyffart quipped.
