**Good News from the Crypto World: XRP and XLM Skyrocket! 🚀**

- Ripple (XRP) has surged almost 15% in the past 24 hours, hitting a peak of $2.44! This is its highest price since mid-December. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said that momentum and focus on real utility are increasing.

- Interesting news from the community: Ripple released 500 million XRP from escrow with a mysterious note, "January 20th is just around the corner." Is this a big sign?

- Stellar Lumens (XLM) also jumped on the bandwagon, jumping 28% to hit $0.456. It seems like XLM likes to follow XRP's lead!

- Other altcoins like Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), and Chainlink (LINK) also performed brilliantly.

- Bitcoin? Still relaxing at $95,000, waiting for its moment to shine again.
