As another year comes to an end, the hope for a bullish next year is likely growing among investors. While it is usually Bitcoin that leads altcoins upwards, some tokens have managed to advance on their own thanks to independent factors.

BeInCrypto has analyzed three altcoins that could experience growth and reach new all-time highs in January 2026.

Monero (XMR)

The price of Monero remains among the closest to its all-time high, trading just 17.5% below $519. A breakout above this level would establish a new record. The relative strength reflects sustained demand as XMR continues to outperform many other large-cap cryptocurrencies during the current market cycle.
