US crypto stocks surged on Monday as a broad-based digital asset rally pushed key tokens to multi-week highs, and listed firms responded strongly, with gains seen across crypto exchanges, miners, and infrastructure platforms.

Bakkt Leads Infrastructure Gains

Crypto infrastructure firm Bakkt (BKKT) surged by 31.5% during regular hours, then added another 5% in after-hours trading. The platform closed at $15.52, marking its highest level in several weeks.

Its strong performance reflects improving market sentiment and growing trading activity across the sector. Trading volumes also showed upward momentum throughout the day.

Kindly MD (NAKA), a Bitcoin-focused company, also jumped over 24%, placing it among the day’s top five gainers. The firm holds substantial Bitcoin reserves and benefits directly from BTC price movements.

The infrastructure segment continued benefiting from reduced sell-side pressure, with Glassnode saying behavior in spot markets shows “a meaningful reduction in sell-side aggression.”

Bitcoin, Ether, XRP Reach Multi-Week Highs

Bitcoin cooled to $93,800 after peaking above $94,600, its highest since early December. The cryptocurrency gained 1.2% in 24 hours and 7% since January 1.

Ether also pushed higher, hitting $3,200 intraday, a price last seen over three weeks ago. XRP rose by nearly 12%, closing at $2.39.

The crypto market’s total capitalization rose 1.3% in 24 hours to approach $3.3 trillion. That marks continued growth from $3 trillion at the start of 2026.

Glassnode added, “Bitcoin is transitioning out of its corrective phase and into a fragile consolidation regime.” The platform cautioned that demand on-chain remains subdued.

Traders continue to favor upward momentum after a holiday lull, contributing to price rebounds in major digital assets. Exchange inflows and market liquidity also improved slightly, data showed.

Mining and Exchange Stocks Rally

American Bitcoin (ABTC) jumped 13.5%, closing above $2 for the first time in nearly a month. The company’s rally came alongside strong moves across the mining sector.

Hut 8 (HUT), IREN (IREN), and Cipher Mining (CIFR) posted gains between 12% and 13.5%. All three firms have shifted operations to support AI workloads using high-performance computing infrastructure.

Coinbase (COIN) climbed around 7.5%, while Gemini (GEMI) and Robinhood (HOOD) added about 7% each. These platforms saw increased activity as crypto trading resumed post-holidays.

Market participation expanded as liquidity returned, while prices across tokens and related stocks climbed consistently throughout the day. Analysts continued tracking volatility risks.

Crypto stocks in the US outperformed broader tech peers, driven by token momentum and increased investor optimism across the digital asset space.
