Market Signal Briefing

As investors navigate an increasingly complex market, the demand for sophisticated, outcome-oriented ETF strategies has reached a significant inflection point. Goldman Sachs Asset Management is seeing strong success in this space, evolving its suite of derivative-based ETFs to meet the diverse needs of modern portfolios.

The Rise of Premium Income: GPIX and GPIQ A primary driver of the firm’s recent momentum has been the performance and adoption of its premium income products, specifically the Goldman Sachs S&P 500 Core Premium Income ETF (GPIX) and the Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Core Premium Income ETF (GPIQ). According to Brendan McCarthy, Head of ETF Distribution at Goldman Sachs, the success of these products is driving the firm’s conviction to “pursue more opportunities in the options space.”

These ETFs are playing a vital role in portfolio construction, acting as a “core-plus” allocation that allows investors to maintain market participation while generating monthly cash flow. Rather than replacing core large-cap equity exposure, GPIX and GPIQ can complement it by smoothing out volatility and providing a defensive income cushion during sideways or slightly bearish markets. GPIX and GPIQ each added more than $500 million in the first two months of 2026 to push assets for both over $3 billion.

McCarthy notes that the category is seeing impressive year-to-date flows as clients seek different flavors of income, including those that combine index-based and active components. Goldman is likely looking to expand their lineup of equity income strategies to other investment styles, such as small-cap and international equities.

Talking Defined Outcome ETFs at Exchange The conversation around derivative-based strategies is set to accelerate at the Exchange conference, where Bryon Lake of Goldman Sachs will take the stage with Bruce Bond of Innovator Capital. The duo will discuss with Bloomberg’s Katie Greifeld the growing role of defined outcome ETFs—a category McCarthy describes as “incredibly relevant in today’s marketplace.” Goldman Sachs announced a pending acquisition of Innovator Capital in 2025 that is expected to close by the end of the first half of 2026.

Innovation Beyond Income: Private Equity Replication Goldman is also making strides in the alternative ETFs space through a partnership with MSCI. The Goldman Sachs MSCI World Private Equity Return Tracker ETF (GTPE) launched in October 2025.  By creating a private equity return tracker index, the firm offers a liquid ETF wrapper that replicates the characteristics of private equity using public equities and quantitative strategies. McCarthy explained GTPE provides a functional tool for institutional investors managing liquidity during capital calls as well as allows retail investors to incorporate alternative sleeves into their model portfolios.

This press release is intended for US audiences for transparency relative to global news for the Fabry community. This dosing regimen for Elfabrio is not approved in the US. In the US, the FDA-approved dosing regimen remains 1mg/kg every 2 weeks. Please see Important Safety Information below and the Full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning.

European Commission approved dosing regimen reduces the burden for eligible patients, their families, and the broader healthcare system by extending infusion interval frequency from every-two-weeks to every-four-weeks for those stable with an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT)

With this decision, announced ahead of Fabry Disease Awareness Month in April, Chiesi Global Rare Diseases will work with countries across the EU to support broader access to this additional dosing schedule for the adult Fabry community

PARMA, Italy and CARMIEL, Israel, March 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chiesi Global Rare Diseases, a business unit of the Chiesi Group established to deliver innovative therapies and solutions for people living with rare diseases, and Protalix BioTherapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American: PLX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, production and commercialization of innovative therapeutics for rare diseases with significant unmet needs, today announced that the European Commission (EC) has approved the 2mg/kg every-4-weeks (E4W) dosing regimen for Elfabrio® (pegunigalsidase alfa) in adults living with Fabry disease who are stable with an ERT. The EC decision follows the positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommending the additional dosing regimen.

“The European Commission approval for 2mg/kg body weight E4W dosing regimen for pegunigalsidase alfa represents a meaningful advancement for adults living with Fabry disease and their families,” said Giacomo Chiesi, Executive Vice President, Chiesi Global Rare Diseases. “Because Fabry disease requires lifelong treatment, the cadence of therapy inevitably becomes part of everyday life for patients and caregivers. By introducing an option that extends the infusion interval from every two weeks to every four weeks for eligible patients on stable ERT, we are offering families greater flexibility and the possibility to ease the overall burden of treatment. Ultimately, our goal is simple but profound: to help people spend less time managing their disease and more time living their lives. This milestone reflects our commitment to innovation that goes beyond delivering therapies—by listening to and understanding the real experiences of the Fabry community.”

“In Fabry disease, long-term treatment decisions must balance disease management with the realities of lifelong therapy,” said Prof. Aleš Linhart, DrSc, FESC. “The approval of pegunigalsidase alfa 2mg/kg every-4-weeks provides an additional option that may help reduce cumulative treatment burden for appropriate patients while maintaining continuity of care.”

“This approval strengthens the treatment landscape for Fabry disease across the European Union by introducing an additional dosing approach that has the potential to enhance long-term care,” said Dror Bashan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Protalix BioTherapeutics. “The authorization reflects not only scientific progress, but also a commitment to optimizing care delivery in a way that supports both patients and healthcare systems.”

“For many people living with Fabry disease, treatment is a lifelong commitment that impacts nearly every aspect of daily life,” said Mary Pavlou, President, Fabry International Network (FIN). “This approval allows for fewer infusion visits, helping reduce the ongoing burden on patients and families, allowing them to spend more time living their lives beyond treatment.”

The EC approval is informed by results from an open-label, switch-over study, BRIGHT (formally PB-102-F50), designed to assess the adverse-event profile, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of the alternative dosing regimen of pegunigalsidase alfa 2-mg/kg E4W for 52 weeks,1 and its ongoing open-label extension study CLI-06657AA1-03 (formerly PB-102-F51).2

Protalix is entitled to a regulatory milestone payment of $25 million from Chiesi in connection with the EC’s approval of the E4W dosing regimen.

This EU approval does not change the FDA‑approved dosing regimen, which remains 1-mg/kg every 2 weeks. Please consult with your healthcare provider.

Protein sub-units are covalently bound via chemical cross-linking using short PEG moieties, resulting in a molecule with stable pharmacokinetic parameters. In clinical studies, Elfabrio has been observed to have an initial half-life of 78.9 ± 10.3 hours.

Indication and Important Safety Information

Indication
Elfabrio® (pegunigalsidase alfa-iwxj) is indicated for the treatment of adults with confirmed Fabry disease.

Important Safety Information

WARNING: HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS INCLUDING ANAPHYLAXISPatients treated with Elfabrio have experienced hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis. Appropriate medical support measures, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment, should be readily available during Elfabrio administration. If a severe hypersensitivity reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) occurs, discontinue Elfabrio immediately and initiate appropriate medical treatment. In patients with severe hypersensitivity reaction, a desensitization procedure to Elfabrio may be considered.

Prior to Elfabrio administration, consider pretreating with antihistamines, antipyretics, and/or corticosteroids. Inform patients and caregivers of the signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions and infusion-associated reactions (IARs), and instruct them to seek medical care immediately if such symptoms occur.

If a severe hypersensitivity reaction (including anaphylaxis) or severe IAR occurs, immediately discontinue Elfabrio administration and initiate appropriate medical treatment.If a mild to moderate hypersensitivity reaction or IAR occurs, consider slowing the infusion rate or temporarily withholding the dose. In clinical trials, 20 (14%) Elfabrio-treated patients experienced hypersensitivity reactions. Four Elfabrio-treated patients (3%) experienced anaphylaxis reactions that occurred within 5 to 40 minutes of the start of the initial infusion. The signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions and anaphylaxis included headache, nausea, vomiting, throat tightness, facial and oral edema, truncal rash, tachycardia, hypotension, rigors, urticaria, intense pruritus, moderate upper airway obstructions, macroglossia, and mild lip edema.

In clinical trials, 41 (29%) Elfabrio-treated patients experienced one or more infusion-associated reactions, including hypersensitivity, nausea, chills, pruritus, rash, chest pain, dizziness, vomiting, asthenia, pain, sneezing, dyspnea, nasal congestion, throat irritation, abdominal pain, erythema, diarrhea, burning sensation, neuralgia, headache, paresthesia, tremor, agitation, increased body temperature, flushing, bradycardia, myalgia, hypertension, and hypotension.

A case of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with immune depositions in the kidney was reported during clinical trials. Monitor serum creatinine and urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio. If glomerulonephritis is suspected, discontinue treatment until a diagnostic evaluation can be conducted.

When switching to Elfabrio from a prior enzyme replacement therapy, the risk of hypersensitivity reactions and infusion-associated reactions may be increased in certain patients with pre-existing anti-drug antibodies (ADAs). Consider monitoring IgG and IgE ADAs and clinical or pharmacodynamic response (eg, plasma lyso-Gb3 levels).

The most common adverse reactions (≥15%) were infusion-associated reactions, nasopharyngitis, headache, diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, back pain, pain in extremity, and sinusitis.

About Fabry Disease
Fabry disease is a rare, inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the GLA gene, which leads to a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. This deficiency results in an accumulation of a fatty substance called globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) in the body’s cells, affecting the heart, kidneys, skin, nervous system, and other organs.3 Fabry disease can cause a range of serious signs and symptoms, including fatigue, chronic pain, gastrointestinal issues, decreased ability to sweat, progressive kidney failure, heart complications, and increased risk of stroke.4

The condition affects both males and females and can present from childhood through adulthood, often with delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. While Fabry disease is rare, early detection and access to appropriate treatment — such as enzyme replacement therapy or pharmacological chaperones therapy — are critical in managing symptoms and slowing disease progression.3

, /PRNewswire/ -- SOLAI Limited (NYSE: SLAI) (previously traded under "BTCM") ("SOLAI" or the "Company"), a technology-driven personal AI and digital infrastructure provider, today announced it is strategically expanding into personal AI infrastructure. As part of the ongoing optimization of existing operations, the Company unveiled its long-term roadmap for personal AI infrastructure that leverages its established infrastructure capabilities to drive the next phase of AI adoption.

As AI evolves from application-level tools into foundational infrastructure, the industry is rapidly entering the next phase of adoption defined by autonomous AI agents. Because these systems are now capable of reasoning, planning, and executing complex workflows independently, privacy, security, and control are increasingly becoming greater priorities for individuals. To meet these critical demands, SOLAI believes the next major wave of AI adoption will shift intelligence directly to the edge. To drive this transition and enable individuals to operate private, reliable, and independent AI nodes, the Company detailed the architecture of its personal AI infrastructure ecosystem, built upon a fully integrated, four-layer technology stack:

Personal AI Node Device (AI Hardware): Acting as the physical foundation of the ecosystem, this layer offers a dedicated, always-on personal AI node device and is SOLAI's primary differentiator. It features localized storage and robust hardware-level security , enabling secure bridging between local workflows and cloud-based models. On-Device Agent Runtime (System OS): Serving as the proprietary on-device operating system for the personal AI node device, this layer provides a highly stable system for autonomous AI agent execution. It seamlessly integrates model orchestration, an extensible plugin architecture, permission controls, process reliability (auto-recovery/rollback), and update mechanisms, delivering a fully private AI experience with a frictionless setup that requires no technical expertise. Intelligence & Routing (API Management): Functioning as the monetizable traffic and control plane, this layer delivers unified multi-model access through centralized API management. It features intelligent routing, policy control, usage metering, and streamlined billing, securely connecting local devices to several Large Language Models (LLMs) while strictly enforcing data privacy and cost-efficiency. High-Density Compute (AIDC Infrastructure): Designed to expand long-term computing capacity through dedicated AI infrastructure, this layer builds upon SOLAI's extensive experience managing large-scale digital asset mining facilities and data centers. The Company intends to leverage these proven capabilities and deploy them toward high-density AI computing, supporting scalable inference clusters and model deployment as ecosystem demand accelerates. With this roadmap established, SOLAI has begun development of its hardware, operating system, and routing layers, architected seamlessly to ensure a fully integrated experience from inception. The Company has already produced working prototypes of its personal AI node device, which are currently undergoing rigorous system integration testing with the operating system. The software has reached the internal alpha stage, with core capabilities including model orchestration, intelligent routing, and a local knowledge base already operational within the prototype setting. Powered by SOLAI's proprietary operating system and engineered for seamless consumer accessibility, the device will offer native support for the OpenClaw ecosystem straight out of the box. Crucially, the underlying open system architecture ensures long-term adaptability, supporting future software upgrades, optional switching to alternative compatible systems, and eventual multi-system interoperability.

Mr. Bo Yu, Chairman of the Board of SOLAI, commented: "As AI evolves from a cloud-based tool into persistent, autonomous agents, the need for private computing has never been clearer. We believe this marks the start of the next phase of AI adoption, where AI effectively becomes an everyday device — much like laptops, smartphones, and tablets today. This strategic expansion into personal AI infrastructure is a natural progression of SOLAI's long-term vision and leverages our extensive experience in large-scale hardware deployment, data center operations, and high-performance network infrastructure. This roadmap lays the foundation for our personal AI infrastructure ecosystem buildout which we will continue to expand upon. We look forward to sharing our continued progress as we drive the next phase of AI adoption."

Cranbrook, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 9, 2026) - DLP Resources Inc. (TSXV: DLP) (OTCQB: DLPRF) ("DLP" or the "Company") announces receipt of geochemical results for three (3) of nine (9) trenches in the exotic copper zone and geochemical analysis of gold (Au) and silver (Ag) and a suite of 49 elements in 94 pulps from rock samples taken previously from the Esperanza project immediately south of the Chapi Mine in Southern Peru (Figure 1 and see DLP Resources Inc., news releases dated March 13, 2024 and April 25, 2024).

Results from three of the nine trenches on the exotic copper oxide zone which extends over approximately 300m x 700m have returned copper mineralized intervals of between 48 to 82m with average copper values ranging from 0.29 % Cu to 2.29 % Cu (see Tables 1 to 3 and Figures 2 and 3). Additional analysis of silver (Ag) and gold (Au) plus copper (Cu), Molybdenum (Mo) arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), lead (Pb), bismuth (Bi), barium (Ba) and zinc (Zn) in the re-analysis of pulps of rock samples taken in the initial reconnaissance sampling have returned consistent association of As-Sb-Pb-Bi ± Ba, with anomalous Mo and low Zn, characteristic of proximal phyllic alteration developed above or laterally to a potential mineralized core. This is within mapped intrusive stocks and polymictic breccias within the overlying volcanics (Figures 4 to 14).

The additional geochemical analysis of Au and Ag and the re-interpretation of all geochemical data have confirmed geochemical anomalies over the previously reported magnetic high surrounded by magnetic lows co-incident with mapped porphyry related alteration, high resolution spectral alteration mineral mapping and anomalous copper and molybdenum anomalies (see Figure 14) and DLP Resources Inc., news releases dated January 05, 2026).

Highlights

Trench T1_026 was 54m long and cut through the mineralized zone on an azimuth of 055 degrees and an inclination of -15 degrees (Table 1). The 54m interval returned 1.53% Copper (see Tables 1 & 2).

Trench T2_026 was 48m long and cut through the mineralized zone on an azimuth of 13 degrees and an inclination of -25 degrees. The 48m trench returned an interval of 38m of 0.34 % copper from 10m to 48m (see Tables 3 & 4).

Trench T3_026 was 82m long and cut through the mineralized zone on an azimuth of 10 degrees and an inclination of -25 degrees. The 82m interval returned 0.62 % copper (see Tables 5 & 6).

Rock geochemistry shows a consistent association of As-Sb-Pb-Bi ± Ba, with anomalous Mo and low Zn, characteristic of proximal phyllic alteration developed above or laterally to a mineralized core.

The presence of disseminated tourmaline and the Bi-Mo association supports the interpretation of high-temperature fluids proximal to the intrusive source, with effective vectoring potential toward the center of the porphyry system.

Anomalous Au values concentrated along structures, with generally low Ag, but locally up to 82g/t Ag (~2oz) within a discrete structure, indicate late-stage hydrothermal pulses focused along faults, consistent with a potential telescoped porphyry system and without evidence of extensive epithermal development.

Low surface Cu values over the central RTP - high magnetic anomaly suggests that the Cu-Mo core is not exposed, with a higher probability of occurrence along the flanks of the RTP magnetic high or at greater depth, particularly in zones where As-Sb decrease and Cu-Mo increase (Figure 14).

The elongated reduced to pole (RTP) magnetic high (~3 × 2 km) defines a potential magnetite-bearing intrusive corridor with strong structural control, consistent with a large-scale porphyry system.

Mr. Gendall, President and CEO commented: "Trenching across the exotic copper zone with current mapped exposures of approximately 700m x 300m has returned encouraging intervals of up 82m with very encouraging copper grades of up to 2% copper. These trench results coupled with an elongated magnetic high, proximal phyllic alteration, a well defined As-Sb-Bi-Ba geochemical anomaly over a moderate Mo enrichment, and structurally controlled anomalous Au and Ag defines a well-developed Cu-Mo-Au porphyry system with strong discovery potential through exploration targeting and drilling of these anomalies to depth, along structural flanks and areas of exotic copper showings.

I would also like to welcome Joe Phillips to the DLP Board. Joe brings a wealth of experience to DLP as a senior mining executive and director in North and South America, and we look forward to Joe's insights and guidance as we progress two important copper-molybdenum projects in Peru."

Quality Control and Quality Assurance

DLP Resources Peru S.A.C, a subsidiary of DLP Resources Inc., supervises sampling and carries out surface sampling and mapping of outcrop at the Esperanza project. Rock chip-Panel sampling was done within a maximum area of 2m x 1m and descriptions were carried out by a geologist. Samples are bagged and sealed on site before transportation to the SGS Peru S.A.C. sample preparation facility in Arequipa by Company vehicles and staff. Rocks are crushed Drying at 100°C, primary and secondary crushing to -10 mesh (up to 6K) Division and pulverizing of 250g (95% to 140 mesh) with 70% passing <2mm. Sample is split with riffle splitter and 250g pulverized to 85% less than 75um. Prepared samples are sent to Lima by SGS Peru S.A.C. for analysis. SGS Peru S.A.C. is an independent laboratory. Samples are analyzed for 50 elements using a four-acid digestion and Atomic absorption spectroscopy finish. Overlimit samples for copper and silver were re-analysed by four-acid digestion and atomic absorption spectrometry finish). For gold determination, fire assay of a 30 g charge is followed by an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) determination. In addition, sequential copper analyses are done and reports, soluble copper using sulphuric acid leach, soluble copper in cyanide leach, residual copper and total copper. SGS meets all requirements of International Standards with ISO/IEC 17025 accredited testing laboratories.

DLP Resources independently monitors quality control and quality assurance ("QA/QC") through a program that includes the insertion of certified reference materials.

Esperanza Project

The Esperanza Cu-Mo Project is an early-stage exploration project in Southern Peru consisting of 13,900 Ha of claims which are 100% owned by DLP. Esperanza is located ~35 km SW of the Cerro Verde Mine in Arequipa and immediately south of the Chapi Copper Mine.

Copper-molybdenum mineralization was initially observed in an early reconnaissance program undertaken in 2022. Subsequently we have completed a satellite alteration mapping program over the project and identified alteration consistent with porphyry copper-molybdenum systems. Follow-up of alteration and subsequent sampling and mapping commenced in early 2024.

, /PRNewswire/ -- In response to recent geopolitical developments in the Middle East and fluctuations in global energy markets, Benjamin Zhai, Chief Executive Officer of Nasdaq-listed Robo.ai Inc. (NASDAQ: AIIO), a technology company developing a global artificial intelligence machine economy platform, recently sat for an in-depth interview with a financial media outlet. During the discussion, Mr. Zhai addressed the current macro environment, including geopolitical dynamics and global energy price fluctuations. He stated that the UAE's position as a global technology and innovation hub demonstrates counter-cyclical resilience. He noted that Robo.ai is aligning with the UAE's national strategic initiatives, maintaining its local technology investments, and focusing on commercial fundamentals to deliver operational results to the capital markets.

Historical precedent supports this view. During the 2008 global financial crisis, the UAE pursued economic diversification. He cited the 2008 global financial crisis, during which the UAE advanced its economic diversification. During this period, Dubai utilized sovereign capital to complete debt restructuring and shifted its strategic focus to physical infrastructure, including the expansion of the Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) deep-water berths and automated port facilities. Concurrently, Emirates Airline expanded its fleet and route network, establishing Dubai as a major aviation transit hub. These measures promoted the growth of non-oil trade, which currently accounts for over 73% of the UAE's Gross Domestic Product, establishing the region as a financial and logistics center. Furthermore, during recent global supply chain realignments, the UAE facilitated the influx of technology professionals and multinational corporate headquarters through its governance and open economic policies. Mr. Zhai stated that corporate development must align with economic cycles, and Robo.ai relies on the UAE's strategic stability to pace its commercial execution and internal growth.

Describing the UAE's technology landscape, Zhai outlined a coordinated national ecosystem with clear divisions of labor. "The UAE has far-sighted policy direction at the top, with sovereign funds responsible for integrating foundational computing power, technology, and capital. Robo.ai's role within this framework is to deliver the application layer that brings this ecosystem to market."

He identified three core components of this ecosystem:

Policy Framework: Under the National AI Strategy 2031, the UAE aims for artificial intelligence to contribute approximately 14 percent of GDP (USD 96 billion) by 2031. The country is advancing large-scale AI computing infrastructure projects to support foundational models for general artificial intelligence. The Dubai Autonomous Transportation Strategy, which targets 25 percent of all journeys to be autonomous by 2030, provides a regulatory environment for commercial deployment of smart mobility technologies.

Capital Infrastructure: Strategic capital has built the foundational infrastructure. Three sovereign wealth funds, ADIA, Mubadala and L'IMAD Holding, together with the AI group G42, form a capital-technology partnership deploying significant resources into global technology sectors. He noted Mubadala and G42 recently formed MGX, a technology fund targeting over $100 billion in assets under management across semiconductors, core models, and AI infrastructure. L'IMAD Holding, having integrated ADQ's asset portfolio, is restructuring sectors such as intelligent transportation, smart cities, and modern logistics, providing physical application scenarios for next-generation autonomous driving and eVTOL technologies. G42 has secured a $1.5 billion strategic investment from Microsoft, strengthening the UAE's foundational model environment and supporting algorithmic development for upper-layer applications.

Application Layer: Mr. Zhai stated that while national policies and sovereign capital build the AI computing foundation, Robo.ai commercializes this infrastructure through an intelligent physical transportation network. He noted that computing power and large model parameters require physical carriers to complete the commercial loop and generate investment returns. Robo.ai integrates AI software, intelligent hardware, and smart assets to connect with these policy and capital initiatives. Policy initiatives like the Dubai Autonomous Transportation Strategy provide the operational rights for Robo.ai to deploy algorithms into physical entities such as its RoBUS commercial vehicles and Robotaxis, generating commercial mileage and transport orders. Furthermore, Robo.ai's physical operations produce high-quality physical interaction data that feeds back into the foundational models. Using the recently delivered embodied AI data order from its joint venture with DaBoss.AI as an example, Mr. Zhai explained that Robo.ai generates multimodal, high-precision data through the operation of physical robots, driving the iteration of foundational models and creating an economic cycle of computing monetization, data production, and model refinement.

Robo.ai is advancing its operations through its joint venture with Silicon Valley-based DaBoss.AI, focusing on embodied AI data services. Mr. Zhai explained that the transition from large language models to embodied AI faces a "Sim-to-Real" gap, requiring multimodal interaction data containing real-world physical properties, such as high-precision spatial vision, six-degrees-of-freedom motion trajectories, and force-control tactile feedback. Market research indicates the global AI training data collection and annotation market may exceed $10 billion by 2030, with high-quality physical interaction data representing a rapidly growing segment. The joint venture utilizes tele-operation equipment and multimodal data screening technology to convert human behaviors into digital intelligence. Benefiting from the UAE's data compliance environment and international workforce, Robo.ai provides the operational capacity for this standardized data collection. Following the execution of a data collection services agreement, the joint venture completed its initial commercial delivery of embodied AI data within weeks. Mr. Zhai emphasized that this delivery advances Robo.ai's previously disclosed 30,000-hour embodied AI data backlog, demonstrating the Company's ability to commercialize frontier technologies and market demand.

Mr. Zhai concluded that the UAE provides the policy environment and sovereign capital foundation for technology companies. He stated that Robo.ai has identified its strategic position within this national technology framework and will focus on commercializing frontier technologies through continued high-quality deliveries, acting as the application execution component of the global intelligent machine economy ecosystem.

Coinsilium Group Limited (AQSE:COIN, OTCQB:CINGF, FRA:5CT) told investors the Yellow Network has now launched the YELLOW token and Yellow Pro trading platform, describing these steps as moving the project into live operations.

As a result, it is now staked in Yellow, which is designed to be a decentralised trading platform and clearing house for digital assets, following its early-stage investment and collaboration with the Yellow team.

“We warmly congratulate the Yellow team on reaching this significant milestone with the launch of their token and trading platform," Coinsilium chief executive Eddy Travia said.

"Bringing a project of this ambition from early concept through years of development to a live network launch is a remarkable achievement and reflects an extraordinary amount of vision, perseverance and technical execution."

The company, in an announcement, noted that the rollout began on Sunday, with the firm's own total allocation amounting to 50 million YELLOW tokens.

Tokens will vest under their respective terms on a linear basis over as much as three years, after an initial cliff period of between two and six months, Coinsilium noted.

It also said it is in discussions with the Yellow team over possible further collaboration, including backing projects built on the Yellow SDK and using its venture-building and advisory capabilities to support the network’s expansion.

The board flagged that early trading in newly launched digital assets often comes with volatile price discovery and shifting liquidity, and said short-term market moves may not reflect longer-term adoption as exchange integrations and participation build.

Travia highlighted: "As longstanding backers, we have had the privilege of seeing the Yellow project steadily progress to this moment... the team has pursued a bold vision to build infrastructure designed to fundamentally reshape how liquidity and connectivity operate across digital asset markets. The launch represents the culmination of many years of work and the beginning of the next chapter as the Yellow ecosystem enters live operation, and we look forward to continuing to collaborate with and support the team.”

In late October, prediction market traders were giving Bitcoin (BTC +0.76%) a 60% chance of hitting a price of $150,000 by the end of March 2026. At the time, Bitcoin was trading near an all-time high of $126,000 and its future looked very bright indeed.

But, my, how times have changed. Bitcoin has since crashed down to the $72,000 price level, and shows no signs of heading higher any time soon. As a result, prediction markets are paying just pennies for "yes" on $150,000 Bitcoin by the end of March. How should you weigh this collapse of prediction market sentiment when considering Bitcoin's trajectory over the next 12 months?

The four-year Bitcoin cycle It's important to keep in mind that Bitcoin historically has followed a four-year cycle of boom and bust. Three good years are typically followed by one very bad year in which Bitcoin loses 57% or more of its value.

If history is any guide, then Bitcoin is in line for one of those very bad years in 2026. After all, previous Bitcoin price collapses have occurred in 2014, 2018, and 2022. So it makes sense that Bitcoin could suffer another major price collapse in 2026.

Bitcoin is already down 25% for the year, and there's likely more pain on the way. Some bearish analysts are already talking about $40,000 Bitcoin and even $20,000 Bitcoin. Things could get really nasty, really fast.

If you believe in the four-year Bitcoin cycle, then prediction markets appear to be offering a clear warning to investors: "Stay away." In other words, this is not your typical buy-the-dip opportunity with Bitcoin. Some have already drawn a parallel to the crypto winter of 2022, when Bitcoin fell in price by 64%.

Can you make money betting against Bitcoin? The obvious conclusion here is that you should be buying up those March 2026 event contracts, hoping that Bitcoin continues to trade sideways or down, right?

Image source: Getty Images.

Wrong. From my perspective, there's not much meat on the bone in this trade. On Polymarket, the odds of Bitcoin hitting $150,000 by the end of March are currently just 1%. Right now, a "yes" contract costs $0.016 and a "no" contract costs $0.987.

If you are absolutely convinced that Bitcoin can't hit $150,000 by the end of March, then you could pay $100 for "no" contracts in order to win $101.32. It's almost not even worth it.

I'd almost rather take the opposite side of this trade. I could pay $100 for "yes" contracts and earn $5,252.15 if Bitcoin somehow pulls off some March madness.

Wait for 2028 A better idea, though, might be to wait for 2028. That's when the next Bitcoin halving is scheduled to take place. According to the four-year Bitcoin cycle, that's also when the "boom" phase of the cycle is expected to kick into high gear.

The same thing happened in 2024. After a halving event in April, Bitcoin rallied hard after the election. It eventually reached $100,000 by the end of the year.

I'm not betting against Bitcoin right now. Instead, I'm expecting Bitcoin to follow the same trajectory that it has in previous boom-and-bust cycles. That means a price decline in 2026 could end up rewarding long-term investors. A modest upfront investment in Bitcoin now could pay off big later.

Key Takeaways Table of Contents

Key TakeawaysSTRC Preferred Shares See Record Trading VolumeBitcoin Faces Macroeconomic ChallengesGet 3 Free Stock Ebooks Michael Saylor shared his characteristic weekend message on X, indicating Strategy may be preparing to acquire additional Bitcoin. The company’s most recent acquisition occurred during February’s final week: 3,015 BTC purchased for $204.1 million at approximately $67,700 each. Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury currently comprises 720,737 BTC, with an average acquisition cost of $75,985 per coin. STRC preferred shares recorded unprecedented 2026 trading activity at $260M on March 6. At the time of publication, Bitcoin traded near $67,292, positioning it below Strategy’s average buy-in price. Bitcoin hovered around $67,500 when Michael Saylor posted a cryptic message to X on Sunday: “The Second Century Begins.” Accompanied by Strategy’s characteristic Bitcoin accumulation visualization, the post carries familiar weight for those tracking the company’s investment pattern. The implication is clear: another acquisition appears imminent.

This approach has become Saylor’s trademark strategy in recent months. A weekend social media post emerges, followed typically by Monday regulatory disclosures confirming fresh Bitcoin purchases. The pattern has evolved into one of the crypto market’s more reliable indicators.

Strategy completed its latest Bitcoin acquisition during February’s closing week, securing 3,015 BTC through a $204.1 million transaction at roughly $67,700 per unit. This purchase elevated the company’s aggregate holdings to 720,737 BTC, representing approximately $54.77 billion in total capital deployed.

Strategy Inc, MSTR

According to SaylorTracker analytics, the firm’s average Bitcoin acquisition price stands at $75,985. With current BTC prices hovering around $67,292, Strategy finds itself holding positions below its cost basis.

Strategy’s fundamental net asset value (NAV) has dipped marginally below 1.0, indicating the stock trades at a discount relative to its Bitcoin treasury value. This marks a notable departure from the premium valuation the company maintained throughout much of 2024 and into early 2025.

STRC Preferred Shares See Record Trading Volume Market participants closely monitor STRC preferred stock activity as a leading indicator for potential Strategy Bitcoin purchases. March 6 witnessed STRC trading volume surge to $260 million — establishing a new 2026 benchmark.

Market observers interpret heightened STRC trading as evidence of capital formation preceding Bitcoin acquisitions. The at-the-market offering structure connected to this instrument enables investor demand transformation into deployable capital, a mechanism Strategy has leveraged for previous major purchases.

Anchorage’s recent STRC portfolio addition has amplified institutional focus on the instrument. Confirmation of any new purchase will ultimately arrive through official SEC documentation.

Bitcoin Faces Macroeconomic Challenges Bitcoin’s price trajectory has encountered resistance throughout recent weeks. The cryptocurrency market broadly has grappled with constrained liquidity conditions and macroeconomic uncertainty.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost identified persistent inflation and climbing unemployment figures as primary factors pressuring risk-oriented assets. Latest Nonfarm Payrolls figures disappointed expectations, intensifying pressure on markets already navigating ambiguous Federal Reserve policy signals.

Liquidity constraints have tightened across global financial markets. BlackRock’s recent decision to restrict investor redemptions in one fund due to liquidity limitations underscores the severity of current market conditions.

Nevertheless, Strategy has maintained its acquisition strategy. The company finances Bitcoin purchases through debt and equity instruments rather than operational cash generation, enabling continued accumulation independent of near-term price fluctuations.

Saylor has additionally dismissed potential mergers with competing Bitcoin treasury firms. In comments to Cointelegraph, he explained that transaction timelines typically span six to nine months or longer, during which market conditions can shift sufficiently to undermine deal attractiveness.

Strategy maintains its position as the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with 720,737 BTC secured on its balance sheet.

Oil trading accelerated on Hyperliquid, with two contracts now active. Whales are also taking bolder positions on expectations of oil extending its trend. 

Hyperliquid now offers both Brent and WTI oil trades through HIP-3 and the XYZ exchange. The futures became active in the past week, as oil broke above $90. 

Whales are also making even bolder bets on expectations of oil expansion. The Iran war and the damage to the global supply chain created an expectation for even higher oil prices in the summer. 

HIP-3 trading shifted to oil futures, displacing silver and gold. | Source: Dune Analytics. In the past week, the XYZ:CL representing WTI oil entered the top 5 of the most traded futures. Oil displaced gold, silver, and copper as the previously hot-traded assets. 

Hyperliquid traders shift to commodities The XYZ:CL is the second most traded contract on HIP-3, while a new Brent contract has entered the top 10 and is climbing in open interest and volumes. The shift to commodities follows the most recent stagnation of crypto prices, as traders were in search of more active assets. 

Oil broke above $100 for the first time in years, as the situation in Iran grew more complicated. Brent crude traded above $106, and WTI climbed to over $109, with the potential to turn oil into a major crypto trade on Hyperliquid. As Cryptopolitan reported, oil had a historical week, displacing speculation on stocks. The hard factors behind oil appreciation allowed traders to take more directional bets in an otherwise risky and choppy market. 

The shift to oil arrived as BTC retreated to the $67,000 range, erasing the hopes of an easy rally. At the same time, oil shows no signs of stopping, expecting vertical expansion with Monday’s market opening.

Whales take large positions on oil futures While the biggest whales on Hyperliquid are still in crypto trades, the positions of whales on oil futures are growing. The influence of XYZ also grows, as it takes over 85% of Hyperliquid open interest, breaking above $1B in the past week. 

One of the early whales is holding a 2X leveraged position with a $6.3M notional value. 

A more aggressive trader has entered the market at $102 for WTI, with a position valued at over $14.9M and 20X leverage. The positions are relatively new, taken as oil on traditional markers broke above $100. Previous whales were already longing oil as the price broke above $90, showing that the more recent traders are ready to pay funding fees.

Oil remains risky as the price may be tamed by releasing reserves. However, the disruptions of war may prove the more influential factor, while whales are also feeling a sense of urgency in trading on HIP-3. 

Historically, expensive oil has put a damper on the crypto market. The existing infrastructure for oil trades also meant whales were ready to switch seamlessly. For now, the traders try to take profits in case the oil rally stalls temporarily.

Bitcoin USD continues to hover near $67,200 following a week of tight-ranging price action. However, its longstanding dominance over the broader cryptocurrency market is visibly softening today.

Fresh data from CoinGecko reveals the total cryptocurrency market capitalization expanding past $2.38 trillion, while Bitcoin Dominance has fallen below 59% and is currently sitting at 58.82%.

SOURCE: CoinGeckoThat steady retreat coincides with a sudden burst of momentum in Ethereum, up +1.1% overnight and into this Monday morning trading session, while BTC grinds sideways on lower volume.

The underlying shift in data suggests institutional money might be preparing for a massive crypto capital rotation, which could signal the start of an alt season.

SOURCE: TradingViewWhat the On-Chain Dominance Drop Actually ShowsMarket dominance dropping back to 58.48% represents a notable cooling off from the stubborn mid-2025 peaks, where Bitcoin controlled nearly 66% of all crypto investor wealth.

Tom Lee, the chair of Ethereum Treasury firm Bitmine, recently noted that this gradual market compression will eventually trigger a violent V-shaped recovery in the heavily scrutinized ETH/BTC pair.

Current exchange flow metrics support the thesis that liquidity is merely shifting ecosystems rather than exiting the crypto market entirely. Nearly $31.6M worth of ETH left centralized exchanges in a single day recently, artificially tightening secondary supply right as dominance numbers dipped.

That is the exact type of localized supply shock that typically precedes a substantial decoupling phase in Ethereum. But the picture is not completely flawless for altcoin bulls.

Analysts like Kyle Reidhead argue the on-chain migration of traditional assets absolutely favors Ethereum, but excessively high funding rates suggest retail long positions are still too numerous, hinting that the bottom may not yet be in.

Bitcoin USD Price Prediction: Can BTC Hold $67,000 While Dominance Fades? BITCOIN IS TESTING THE LEVEL THAT STARTED THE LAST RALLY.

In 2023 the 200 EMA acted as the launchpad for the entire move.

— Merlijn The Trader (@MerlijnTrader) March 8, 2026 Bitcoin USD is consolidating between $64,000 and $72,000, creating an extended, choppy range that is slowly bleeding active volume from the primary asset. Even with aggregate reserves clearly vanishing from spot exchanges, sparking fierce debate among traders over whether a massive supply shock is coming.

If the current technical channel support resting at $66,500 holds steady, BTC could still muster enough localized liquidity to forcefully retest the $70,000 psychological barrier.

But if that floor fails under the heavy weight of altcoin rotations, the market structure weakens rapidly. In that bearish scenario, $64,000 becomes the immediate short target, followed closely by deeper institutional demand zones lurking near $61,000.

The definitive level to watch closely is exactly 58% on the dominance metric chart, which could ultimately dictate whether average BTC prices break out or break down completely.

Ethereum ETF Inflows Challenge Bitcoin’s Liquidity Monopoly SOURCE: TradingView Institutional interest in Ethereum is growing, with rising market metrics indicating increased ETF inflows. Last week closed with around +$20M in positive flows across the numerous ETH ETF products, with BlackRock, Grayscale, and Fidelity accounting for most of the volume, per CoinGlass data.

Analysts at FalconX note that Ethereum’s technological advantages in tokenized assets and its yield-bearing opportunities are attracting new investments that might have previously gone to Bitcoin USD ETFs.

For a confirmed decoupling, the ETH/BTC pair needs to rise above the 0.035 level on high volume, with it currently trading at 0.02939. If whales can regain the crucial $2,000 support, bullish momentum may build.

However, if the ratio fails to break 0.035 and $2,000 can’t be reclaimed, this could merely be a temporary trend, with support at $1,800 then becoming a likely target.

Key Takeaways While Bitcoin’s correlation coefficient with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq has climbed to approximately 0.5, equity market dynamics explain just 25% of price fluctuations Crypto-native elements including ETF inflows, derivative activity, and blockchain metrics account for the remaining 75% of Bitcoin’s valuation changes According to NYDIG’s research director, these findings validate Bitcoin’s continued function as a diversification tool The conversation around Bitcoin has evolved from questioning its viability to discussing its potential as a government reserve holding NYDIG maintains that Bitcoin’s expansion trajectory doesn’t require validation through central bank reserves Despite Bitcoin’s increasing synchronization with technology equities, the digital asset maintains its portfolio diversification characteristics, according to analysis from investment research firm NYDIG.

In a recently released market commentary, Greg Cipolaro, serving as NYDIG’s global head of research, noted that correlation metrics between Bitcoin and prominent U.S. stock indices have strengthened over recent months. The S&P 500 index, Nasdaq 100, and the software-focused IGV ETF have all demonstrated tighter price synchronization with Bitcoin.

Source: NYDIG Certain financial observers have interpreted this pattern as evidence that Bitcoin now functions essentially as a proxy for technology sector exposure. Cipolaro challenges this interpretation.

Despite the 90-day rolling correlation hovering around 0.5, Cipolaro emphasizes that this metric indicates equity market activity drives only roughly 25% of Bitcoin’s price volatility. The other 75% stems from dynamics unique to cryptocurrency markets.

These cryptocurrency-specific drivers encompass investment flows into Bitcoin exchange-traded products, changes in futures and options positioning, blockchain network growth metrics, and policy developments.

The Case for Bitcoin’s Distinct Market Behavior According to Cipolaro, the current price correlation between Bitcoin and growth-oriented equities probably mirrors prevailing macroeconomic conditions rather than indicating a fundamental structural connection. Both asset classes simultaneously react to changes in market liquidity and investor willingness to assume risk.

“Cross-asset correlations with equities are currently elevated, but they remain far from determinative of Bitcoin’s returns,” Cipolaro wrote.

The NYDIG analysis also referenced recent public statements from well-known investors. Chamath Palihapitiya, who famously dubbed Bitcoin “Gold 2.0” back in 2013, has recently expressed skepticism about the asset’s suitability for sovereign treasury holdings. Ray Dalio has consistently voiced reservations regarding Bitcoin’s price volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and potential future vulnerabilities from quantum computing breakthroughs.

Cipolaro interprets these critiques as evidence of Bitcoin’s evolution rather than indicating fundamental problems. The discussion has shifted from questioning Bitcoin’s basic viability to debating whether monetary authorities should include it in reserve portfolios.

Central Bank Adoption Not Essential for Bitcoin Development NYDIG’s position is that government and central bank adoption isn’t a necessary condition for Bitcoin’s continued expansion. The network has already achieved significant penetration beyond individual retail participants, extending to high-net-worth family offices, institutional money managers, and publicly traded investment vehicles.

This adoption trajectory differs markedly from typical financial innovation patterns, which usually begin with institutional capital before filtering down to individual investors. Bitcoin has taken the reverse path.

“Central bank ownership may ultimately validate the asset class further, but it is not a prerequisite for continued growth,” Cipolaro wrote.

NYDIG’s analysis emphasized Bitcoin’s fundamental characteristics: a decentralized global network infrastructure, political independence, and technical architecture enabling censorship-resistant value transmission and programmatic scarcity outside the control of any governmental or monetary institution.

Bitcoin was trading at approximately $67,769 when the report was published.

TLDR ADA currently trading in the $0.25–$0.257 range, reflecting a nearly 9% decline across the past seven days Derivatives open interest climbed 3.87% reaching $428.45 million, while trading volume jumped 33.39% to $779.84 million On-chain metrics show daily active addresses declining since end of January, currently at 13.5K March 8 announcement from Cardano Foundation confirmed successful Archax integration, a UK FCA-regulated platform Critical resistance zone located at $0.2614 (Fibonacci 0.5 level); breakthrough could push price toward $0.2826 Cardano (ADA) is currently changing hands at approximately $0.2572 as of Monday, showing modest recovery following a challenging seven-day period that witnessed close to a 9% decline. The cryptocurrency continues trading beneath both its 50-day and 100-day moving averages, reinforcing the prevailing bearish sentiment.

[[IMG_2]]Cardano (ADA) Price Derivatives data reveals open interest has increased by 3.87% to reach $428.45 million, while trading volume experienced a significant 33.39% surge to $779.84 million. This notable volume expansion arrived on the heels of announcements regarding Cardano’s collaboration with Archax, a digital exchange operating under UK Financial Conduct Authority regulation.

[[IMG_3]]Source: Coinglass Binance’s long/short ratio indicates 1.81 for general accounts and 1.94 among elite traders, demonstrating that leveraged market participants are positioning themselves bullishly. Total liquidation figures reached $183.61K, with short position liquidations accounting for $180.90K of the total.

While short-term volume metrics appear encouraging, blockchain activity data presents a more reserved outlook. Daily active addresses have experienced consistent downward movement since the conclusion of January, currently registering at 13.5K. A declining active address count typically signals reduced network demand.

Archax Integration Opens Institutional Door The March 8 announcement from Cardano Foundation CEO Frederik Gregaard verified the successful integration of Cardano into Archax’s platform. Archax maintains operations under UK FCA supervision while adhering to European Union regulatory standards.

Cardano is now integrated into @ArchaxEx’s tokenization engine, a next milestone for Cardano’s institutional infrastructure.

This collaboration enables MemberCaps Fund I tokens to exist within Archax’s regulated framework. Any assets tokenized through Archax on the Cardano network will face rigorous financial oversight from inception.

Gregaard characterized the partnership as “a tough one” to finalize. The arrangement provides institutional investors with a compliant channel for tokenizing conventional assets — including real estate and securities — utilizing the Cardano blockchain infrastructure.

Technical Levels to Watch Examining the 4-hour timeframe, ADA is currently challenging the Fibonacci 0.5 retracement level positioned at $0.2614. Four exponential moving averages are clustering between $0.2574 and $0.2699, creating a significant resistance barrier that must be overcome.

[[IMG_4]]Source: TradingView An ascending trendline provides support around $0.2458. Should that level fail, the $0.25–$0.24 area represents the subsequent structural support zone.

Upside resistance beyond $0.2614 extends toward the Fibonacci 0.382 level at $0.2826, followed by the descending channel’s upper boundary ranging between $0.29 and $0.31.

The Relative Strength Index registers at 41 on the daily timeframe, indicating diminished momentum. The MACD indicator remains close to the zero line, aligning with a moderately bearish outlook.

A daily candle close surpassing $0.27–$0.28 would be required to alter the technical landscape favorably. While price remains below $0.27, sellers maintain their structural advantage.

As of March 9, ADA continues consolidating near $0.2572 following confirmation of the Archax partnership, with derivatives metrics indicating renewed capital allocation into long positions.

Bitcoin ETFs just broke their longest losing streak. For the first time since October 2025, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds pulled in money for two straight weeks running.

The turnaround comes as Bitcoin holds steady around $45,000, a far cry from the wild swings that scared off investors earlier this year. March 2026 data shows money flowing back into these funds after months of people pulling cash out. Fund managers who watched billions walk out the door over the past five months are finally seeing some relief. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, one of the biggest players in this space, says trading activity picked up big time. Other Bitcoin-focused funds are seeing similar patterns, though nobody’s getting too excited yet.

Markets hate uncertainty. That’s pretty clear now.

CoinShares dropped numbers showing $150 million flowed into digital asset products last week alone. Bitcoin ETFs made up a chunk of that figure, but the broader crypto investment world is stirring back to life too. Larry Fink from BlackRock told reporters his firm is fielding way more questions about Bitcoin ETFs from big institutional clients. “We’re seeing renewed interest in crypto for portfolio diversification,” Fink said during a recent interview. BlackRock manages trillions, so when they talk, people listen.

But it’s not all smooth sailing. ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF took a hit as Bitcoin prices bounced around. The fund’s net asset value dropped slightly by March 8, showing just how tied these products are to Bitcoin’s mood swings. Trading volumes tell a different story though – the Chicago Mercantile Exchange saw Bitcoin futures activity jump 20% in early March compared to February.

Galaxy Digital made waves March 8 with news of a partnership with some European bank they won’t name. The deal aims to get more Bitcoin ETFs into European hands, tapping into growing demand across the pond. European regulators have been warming up to crypto lately, opening doors that were pretty much slammed shut before. For more details, see Solana ETFs Pull .5 Billion Despite.

WisdomTree’s Bitcoin ETF products grew assets under management by 15% in early March. That’s real money coming back, not just trading noise. The firm credits retail investors who seem ready to dip their toes back in crypto waters. Meanwhile, VanEck published research showing millennials now make up 40% of their Bitcoin ETF investor base – a huge shift from older demographics that dominated before.

Cathie Wood from ARK Invest isn’t buying the hype just yet. “People need to do their homework and understand the risks,” Wood said March 9. She’s seen enough crypto booms and busts to know things can flip fast. The volatility that drove investors away could easily come roaring back.

Asian markets are sending mixed signals. Some countries are tightening crypto rules while others are loosening up. European markets seem more welcoming these days, with recent regulatory approvals making it easier for Bitcoin ETFs to operate. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission hasn’t said much lately, but their next moves could make or break this momentum.

Fund managers face their own headaches beyond market volatility. Management fees eat into returns, and competition keeps getting fiercer. Some ETFs are struggling to stand out in a crowded field where performance differences can be razor-thin. The SEC hasn’t commented on recent developments, leaving market players guessing about future regulatory changes. For more details, see Binance Fires Back at Senate, Calls.

Two weeks of positive flows don’t guarantee this trend will stick around. Bitcoin’s price could tank tomorrow and send investors running for the exits again. The crypto world moves fast, and what looks promising today might look terrible next week.

The institutional appetite for Bitcoin exposure extends beyond traditional ETFs. Pension funds in states like Texas and Wisconsin have quietly allocated small percentages to Bitcoin-related investments, marking a shift from complete avoidance just two years ago. Corporate treasuries are also reconsidering their stance – while Tesla made headlines with its Bitcoin purchases, smaller companies like MicroStrategy continue adding to their holdings despite market turbulence. Investment advisors report client conversations about crypto allocation have tripled since January, though most still recommend keeping exposure under 5% of total portfolios.

Regulatory winds are shifting in ways that could reshape the entire landscape. The European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation takes full effect later this year, potentially creating clearer rules for Bitcoin ETF operations across member countries. Banking giants like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs have expanded their crypto trading desks, signaling institutional infrastructure is maturing rapidly. Meanwhile, central bank digital currencies from major economies could either compete with or complement Bitcoin ETFs, depending on how policymakers structure these new digital assets. The Federal Reserve’s ongoing research into digital dollars adds another layer of complexity to an already evolving market.

TLDR PI token rallied as much as 16%, reaching a three-month peak above the $0.23 mark V20.2 protocol enhancement was successfully deployed on March 7, requiring all node operators to upgrade by March 12 Pilot testing demonstrated Pi Nodes can facilitate decentralized AI training by leveraging unused computational capacity Critical resistance sits at $0.28, a level where previous rallies lost momentum during Q4 2025 March 14’s Pi Day celebration may feature major updates including validator compensation structure and possible Kraken exchange integration Pi Network’s native cryptocurrency has experienced consecutive sessions of double-digit percentage increases, climbing to price levels not witnessed in approximately three months. This upward movement coincided with two significant technical and operational milestones within the ecosystem.

PI Network (PI) Price The V20.2 protocol enhancement was deployed across the mainnet on March 7. Node operators throughout the network face a mandatory implementation requirement, with March 12 established as the final deadline for compliance. Pi Network’s infrastructure currently operates across more than 421,000 active validator nodes. While brief service disruptions were observed during the migration phase, the distributed network has returned to synchronized operation.

🚨 #PiNetwork Reaches a Major Moment 🚀

Protocol v20.2 is officially live, and network nodes are running synchronously. Any disconnections are normal during the upgrade process.

— PiNetwork DEX⚡️阿龙 (@fen_leng) March 7, 2026

This deployment represents the third incremental phase in Pi Network’s roadmap toward full implementation of version 23 of the Stellar consensus mechanism, with final rollout targeted for March 12, precisely two days ahead of the annual Pi Day celebration on March 14.

Decentralized AI Computing Proof-of-Concept The development team behind Pi Network released a comprehensive case study earlier this week outlining an innovative application for the existing node infrastructure. Researchers investigated whether the distributed node network could effectively manage decentralized artificial intelligence training and computational workloads by utilizing idle processing resources.

The experimental initiative involved collaboration with seven volunteer node operators and OpenMind, a robotics company receiving investment support from Pi Network Ventures. Testing outcomes confirmed that computational assignments were properly distributed to participating nodes, with accurate results successfully transmitted back to external client applications.

With 421,000 operational nodes representing in excess of one million individual CPU units, the development team emphasized this largely dormant computational power could be monetized by offering infrastructure to external organizations requiring substantial computing capacity. Node operators would earn cryptocurrency-based payments for successfully executed tasks.

Pi Network’s ecosystem also includes tens of millions of identity-verified users who have completed KYC procedures, potentially creating opportunities for human-in-the-loop AI training methodologies requiring verified participant input.

Technical Analysis and Price Targets From a technical trading perspective, PI Coin successfully breached a downward-sloping trendline at the $0.23 threshold that had previously constrained upward price movements throughout February. The Supertrend technical indicator has transitioned to bullish territory for the first time in several weeks, currently positioned at $0.1843.

The complete set of four exponential moving averages currently trades beneath the spot price. The 100-period EMA positioned at $0.1969 represents the nearest resistance barrier, while the 200-period EMA at $0.2876 serves as a more substantial overhead target.

The $0.28 price zone has emerged as the most critical level for market participants to monitor. During the fourth quarter of 2025, PI experienced a substantial rally from approximately $0.19 but encountered firm resistance at $0.28, ultimately leading to a price reversal. A decisive breakout above this threshold would significantly diminish the probability of history repeating itself.

Transaction volumes have expanded, though CryptoQuant’s spot volume metrics remain in neutral territory, indicating buying pressure has not yet escalated to excessive speculative levels characteristic of market tops.

PI currently holds the 40th position in market capitalization rankings on CoinGecko, commanding a valuation exceeding $2.2 billion. Approximately 21 million tokens entered circulation on March 7, with additional scheduled unlock events approaching in subsequent days.

TLDR Veteran analyst Ed Yardeni increased U.S. stock market crash probability from 20% to 35% Crude oil surpassing $100 per barrel drives inflation concerns and growth slowdown fears Bitcoin (BTC) maintains support around $67,000, showing resilience against declining equity markets NYDIG data reveals only 25% of Bitcoin price action correlates with traditional stock movements Leadership transition in Iran amplifies geopolitical tensions and market volatility Prominent Wall Street analyst Ed Yardeni has dramatically increased his forecast for a potential U.S. stock market crash, raising the probability to 35% for the remainder of 2025 from his previous 20% estimate. Simultaneously, his outlook for a sustained market rally plummeted to merely 5%, down from 20%.

US stocks are facing a growing risk of a sharp selloff this year as the escalating war in Iran hurts global markets, according to veteran strategist Ed Yardeni, updating his outlook for what he describes as “fast-moving times” https://t.co/qJPiN3tZJk

— Bloomberg (@business) March 9, 2026

This revised forecast emerges as crude oil prices breached the $100 per barrel threshold. Elevated energy costs present a dual threat: amplifying inflationary pressures while simultaneously hampering economic expansion, creating headwinds for both equity and cryptocurrency markets.

Yardeni articulated the situation bluntly: “The U.S. economy and stock market are stuck between Iran and a hard place. So is the Fed.”

Tensions between Washington and Tehran continue intensifying. Following Iran’s refusal to de-escalate, President Trump has warned of additional military action.
