Bitcoin Nears $95,000 as Stable US Inflation and Geopolitical Tensions Boost Crypto Market

Bitcoin surged near $95,000 in mid-January 2026, driven by stable US inflation data holding at 2.7% year-on-year and rising geopolitical tensions that boosted demand for safe-haven assets. Ethereum and major altcoins like XRP, Cardano, and Dogecoin also saw gains amid improving market liquidity and spot accumulation. Analysts attribute the rally to easing fears of Federal Reserve rate hikes and increased institutional and retail inflows, while some highlight emerging technologies like Zero Knowledge Proof as potential future growth drivers.
