Market Signal Briefing

TLDR

Ether’s price has fallen below its realized price, a historical signal of market capitulation. President Trump’s tariffs and low institutional demand are creating strong selling pressure in the US. Technical indicators suggest a possible further correction that could take the asset down to $1,100. The market’s second-largest digital currency has had a turbulent start to the week. During Tuesday’s session, Ethereum fell, but the psychological support at $1,800 remains firm. Over the last 30 days, it has accumulated losses of 38% due to macroeconomic uncertainty.

Industry experts point out that the spot price fell below the realized price, which currently stands at $2,380. Generally, when the price stays below this average cost basis, the market begins to feel panic, triggering mass sell-offs from investors who feel they are “underwater.”

To make matters worse, United States tariff policies have impacted market sentiment, cooling the appetite for risk. Consequently, the Coinbase Premium Index dropped to levels not seen since the harsh bear market of 2022.

Technical Analysis and Institutional Capital Outflows Technically speaking, the pattern forming on the weekly chart reveals a concerning setup for ETH bulls. The 50-week exponential moving average (EMA) is dangerously approaching the 100-week EMA—a crossover that, in 2018 and 2022, preceded drops of more than 45%.

It isn’t just visual indicators; institutional demand has almost completely vanished in recent months. US-based spot Ethereum ETFs recorded their fifth consecutive week of outflows, totaling withdrawals of $1.3 billion.

In summary, network weakness and a lack of interest from large funds suggest that the bottom has not yet been reached. If the current support at $1,800 fails, the next technical target for bears lies in the $1,100 zone, redefining the immediate future of the ecosystem.

Solana Mobile launched a token for their second-generation Web3 smartphone, Seeker [SKR]. The token has been performing relatively well, surpassing a market cap of $100 million.

This milestone pushed it to be among the top 200 cryptos by market cap. In the past 24 hours, Seeker led this category in daily gains after surging over 70%. The spike erased the weekly losses and pushed the gains to 48%.

But what is behind this sudden surge after declining since the middle of this month?

What drove Seeker’s rally? Seeker rallied this high due to an uptick of more than 429% in daily trading volume. The uptick came as a result of the Upbit listing, which exposed Seeker to Korean traders and, at large, the Asian market.

Upbit exchange will support three SKR trading pairs featuring Bitcoin [BTC], USDT, and KRW as quoted currencies. This resulted in increased speculative trading exposure for the Seeker cryptocurrency.

This high volume contradicted a falling crypto market. However, can the altcoin sustain the high volume, or will it be another ‘pump and dump’ scenario?

SKR price action breaks out The charts showed that the altcoin had broken above a falling trend channel, which had confined the price for about 12 days. Price rallied aggressively from $0.19 to above $0.26 in just an hour of launching on Upbit.

The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), which notes the difference in buying and selling pressure, was bullish. When writing, the CVD was at 369 million SKR, suggesting massive resultant buying.

This positive capital inflow to Seeker crypto was evident in the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), whose reading was at 0.47. The indicator showed capital inflow started the previous day, just before the listing.

Historically, most exchange listings end up retracing. That’s why it is always worth locking in the profits, especially in sudden price changes like this one.

However, the market’s widespread profit-taking would prevent the rally from continuing.

Traders’ profit-taking risks rally sustainability Apart from usual pullbacks after sharp rallies, profit-taking could also curtail this move from continuing. As per CoinGlass data, SKR traders flipped the Long/Short Ratio red just after the price hit $0.030.

The ratio had dropped from its daytime peak of 1.43 to 0.84 at the time of writing. This meant that traders were selling in fear of giving back the gains.

On the Binance Futures market, the Long/Short Ratio dipped as low as 0.58. This means most of the profit-taking happened across the globe more than in the Asian market, which drove this rally.

Still, Seeker was down about 17% this month, indicating there were still traders seeing losses.

Final Summary Seeker rallies 70% after the Upbit listing and technical breakout.  SKR price faced the risk of a rally pause as traders intensified profit-taking.

TLDR:Working Group Builds on Previous Transaction RoundsExpanded Membership Strengthens the Consortium’s ReachCross-Border Collateral Mobility Takes Shape Across CurrenciesIndustry Players Align Around Scalable On-Chain Market Infrastructure Canton’s working group completed its fourth transaction round, introducing tokenised Gilts as repo collateral for the first time. The round featured the first cross-currency intraday repo using tokenised Gilts against non-GBP tokenised deposits on Canton. Archax joined as a new participant, using its tokenisation engine to create regulated digital representations of traditional Gilts. The working group plans to expand cross-border collateral mobility across European and global markets throughout all of 2026. Canton’s industry working group has taken another step forward in advancing cross-border collateral mobility on Canton.

Digital Asset, alongside a consortium of leading financial institutions, completed a fourth set of transactions on the Canton Network on February 24, 2026.

The latest round builds on prior milestones by introducing tokenised Gilts and cross-currency repo activity. Together, these achievements move the industry closer to a scalable, always-on capital markets infrastructure that operates across borders and asset classes.

Working Group Builds on Previous Transaction Rounds The industry working group has steadily expanded its scope across each successive round of transactions. Following the third set completed in December 2025, which covered multiple asset classes and currencies using tokenised deposits, this fourth round introduced new instruments and cross-currency structures. Each iteration has added complexity while maintaining institutional-grade standards across the board.

This latest round featured the first cross-border intraday repo transaction conducted using tokenised Gilts. It also marked the first cross-currency intraday repo using tokenised Gilts against non-GBP tokenised deposits.

These additions reflect the group’s commitment to broadening the range of assets that can move seamlessly across borders within the Canton ecosystem.

@digitalasset, in collaboration with @CantonNetwork participants, announced the completion of a fourth set of transactions showcasing continued momentum in cross-border intraday repurchase activity.

The group’s approach is methodical, advancing one transaction type at a time while ensuring each new layer meets real market requirements. This measured progression is what gives the working group its credibility across participating institutions.

Expanded Membership Strengthens the Consortium’s Reach A key feature of this transaction round was the growth in active participation across the working group. Archax, a regulated digital asset exchange, broker, and custodian, joined as a new participant.

Existing members including LSEG, Euroclear, Citadel Securities, TreasurySpring, and IntellectEU also deepened their roles in this round.

Archax supported the transaction by leveraging its broker and custody permissions to hold traditional Gilts on behalf of clients.

It then used its tokenisation engine to create regulated digital representations of those assets. Graham Rodford, CEO and co-founder of Archax, described this function as central to the firm’s broader vision and participation strategy.

The growing membership across custodians, trading venues, clearinghouses, and technology providers adds structural depth to the working group. Participants now span the full transaction lifecycle, from execution to settlement and custody.

This breadth makes the group well-positioned to address production-scale challenges as the initiative moves beyond the pilot stage.

Cross-Border Collateral Mobility Takes Shape Across Currencies The working group’s focus on cross-border collateral mobility is becoming more concrete with each round. TreasurySpring validated cross-currency intraday repo and reverse repo against UK Gilts, with haircuts and repo interest embedded directly into smart contracts.

Co-Founder Matthew Longhurst stated these transactions reflect real economic and risk terms across an institutional governance framework.

Euroclear UK & International played a central role as the UK’s central securities depository in tokenising Gilts for the transaction.

CEO Chris Elms noted that enabling real-time, cross-border collateral mobility helps unlock new liquidity sources for clients. EUI’s involvement brings regulated post-trade infrastructure directly into the Canton framework.

LSEG’s DiSH network served as the cash leg for the transactions, enabling instantaneous beneficial ownership transfer of commercial bank money across multiple currencies and jurisdictions.

Bud Novin, Head of Payment Systems at LSEG, confirmed that DiSH Cash supported the first tokenised intraday Gilt repo on Canton Network.

He added that LSEG DiSH is positioned as a trusted third-party solution for mobilising networks in tokenised markets.

Industry Players Align Around Scalable On-Chain Market Infrastructure Beyond the transactions themselves, participants are increasingly focused on what comes next for the working group.

IntellectEU’s Anastasiia Vitmer pointed to how quickly the scope is expanding across assets, infrastructure, and active participants.

Her firm’s Catalyst Suite is being built to support any institutional use case on Canton Network as on-chain markets continue to mature.

DTCC’s Brian Steele reinforced that collaboration across the industry is essential to setting standards and accelerating digital asset adoption.

He added that this cross-border intraday repo use case confirms growing demand for seamless, scalable financial infrastructure. DTCC’s role reflects how traditional market infrastructure providers are engaging directly with on-chain models.

Digital Asset’s Kelly Mathieson stated that greater asset diversity and broader participation are paving the way for more efficient and liquid capital markets.

The working group plans to continue groundbreaking on-chain financing initiatives throughout 2026, with European markets and other key regions in focus.

Cumberland DRW’s Chris Zuehlke added that Canton continues to show how tokenisation can unlock real efficiency gains across an increasingly diverse set of assets and currencies.

Bitcoin just lost one of its biggest support engines.

U.S. spot ETFs have now recorded five straight weeks of net outflows, draining roughly $3.8B from the market in just over a month.

Nearly $400M was pulled in a single session, accelerating a trend that has quietly flipped the institutional narrative from accumulation to de-risking.

Source: Spot Bitcoin ETF Total Net Flows / TheBlockThis matters because ETF redemptions are mechanical. When investors pull capital, issuers must sell underlying BTC. That creates direct spot selling pressure. In a market already thin on bids, the impact compounds quickly.

BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC both saw notable withdrawals, signaling that the outflows are not isolated to smaller products.

The bigger issue is consistency. One bad day can be noise. Five consecutive weeks signal intent.

At the same time, miners have been raising liquidity, and at least one major mining firm recently cleared its entire Bitcoin balance sheet.

That adds supply exactly as ETF demand fades. The result is a liquidity vacuum, with fewer structural buyers left to absorb downside volatility.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Is Bitcoin in a Death Spiral?Bitcoin is sitting right on $64,000 after losing the triangle structure, which confirms short-term weakness.

The descending trendline is still capping price, and BTC has not reclaimed it. As long as price stays below that line and under $71,000, sellers control the lower time frames.

Source: BTCUSD / TradingViewNow all eyes are on $63,000. A clean break there exposes $60,000 as the next major demand zone. That is where buyers must step in to avoid a deeper flush.

ETF outflows and miner selling help explain the heavy structure. Demand has softened, and the breakdown reflects it. Still, on the higher time frame, BTC remains above the broader $60,000 macro base. That level keeps the long-term bullish structure intact.

If price stabilizes above $64,000 and reclaims the descending trendline, $71,000 comes back into play. Clear that, and $80,000 opens up. For now, short-term pressure dominates, but the bigger thesis survives while $60,000 holds.

New Bitcoin Presale Brings Solana Technology to The BTC BlockchainBitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is a new presale built to make Bitcoin faster and cheaper to use.

This Bitcoin-focused Layer-2, powered by Solana technology, brings speed, lower fees, and real on-chain functionality while preserving Bitcoin’s core security.

It basically turns Bitcoin from just something you stare at on a chart into something you actually use, for payments, staking, and scalable apps.

And the traction is not just talk. The Bitcoin Hyper presale has already pulled in over $31 million, with $HYPER priced at $0.0136751 before the next increase.

Staking rewards are sitting at up to 37% right now.

If Bitcoin rips higher, Bitcoin Hyper rides that wave. If Bitcoin keeps chopping sideways, Bitcoin Hyper still captures activity. Either way, it does not need to sit around waiting for price to move.

To buy HYPER before it lists on exchanges, simply visit the official Bitcoin Hyper website and connect a wallet (such as Best Wallet).

XRP trading volume rises 77% as crypto liquidations reach $485 millionA total of $485 million has been liquidated across the crypto market amid the ongoing sell-off.

The crypto market is facing selling pressure early Monday session as renewed trade tensions and tariff uncertainty weigh on risk assets. In the last 24 hours, a total of $485 million has been liquidated across the crypto market, according to CoinGlass data.

In this time frame, the crypto market shed another $100 billion in value, according to CoinGecko data. Major cryptocurrencies, including XRP, declined as digital assets continued to trade in line with broader macro and trade headlines. At the time of writing, XRP was down 3.49% in the last 24 hours to $1.37, extending weekly losses to 6.51%.

HOT Stories

Analysts say the recent drop in the market was driven less by a single headline and more by weak liquidity and low conviction on the market.

For now, crypto remains correlated to macro headlines. Until tariff policy finds firmer footing, cryptocurrencies are more likely to move with broader risk sentiment rather than crypto specific catalysts.

Dogecoin approaches first golden cross vs. Bitcoin in 2026DOGE nears a golden cross signal against Bitcoin (BTC) for the first time in 2026 as the meme coin shows rare strength amid a massive downtrend.

Dogecoin is about to have its first golden cross of 2026 against Bitcoin, with the 23-day simple moving average nearing the 50-day simple moving average on the daily DOGE/BTC chart on Binance by TradingView.

To put it simply, this means that Dogecoin’s price over the past three weeks has been rising faster than average over the past 10 weeks, a measurable change after months of underperformance versus Bitcoin.

The probability of that crossover increased during the Feb. 23 session as Dogecoin outpaced Bitcoin on a relative basis. While BTC quoted near $65,755 and posted modest daily losses, DOGE held near $0.095 and printed stronger intraday gains. That widening spread directly accelerated the ascent of the 23-day average, bringing it within immediate reach of the 50-day line.

It does not require a major crypto rally for DOGE, only to appreciate faster than BTC. For investors holding both assets, confirmation would mean Dogecoin is delivering higher short-term returns than Bitcoin within the same market environment.

Ethereum founder offloads 3,700 ETH in just three daysVitalik Buterin has offloaded approximately $7.3 million in ETH over the last 72 hours.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has accelerated his selling spree. He has now offloaded nearly $7.3 million worth of Ether in just 72 hours, according to on-chain analytics.

Data from the blockchain tracking firm Lookonchain reveals that Buterin sold a total of 3,788.57 ETH over the past three days. This aggressive liquidation comes amidst a broader market correction, fueling debate over whether the founder’s actions are contributing to the asset's bearish momentum.

Earlier this month, Buterin announced that the Ethereum Foundation and his affiliated entities (such as Kanro) would be entering a period of "mild austerity."

This would require the liquidation of assets to fund ecosystem development, research grants, and open-source software initiatives. However, the pace of the sales has caught traders off guard. Lookonchain noted that Buterin is "selling ETH faster again," having already disposed of over 8,800 ETH (approx. $16–18 million) since the beginning of the month.

The recent Bitcoin (BTC) price performance may appear subdued, with the leading crypto currently trading below the $65,000 level and sitting around 50% under all-time highs, but a new report from River suggests that adoption trends in 2025 tell a very different story. 

According to the firm, the network’s growth across institutions, businesses, financial advisors, and even nation-states accelerated sharply over the past year, despite market weakness.

Institutional Bitcoin Demand One of the most notable developments has been the scale of institutional accumulation. River reports that institutions acquired approximately 829,000 Bitcoin in 2025 alone. These buyers included corporations, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), investment funds, and government-related entities. 

Investment advisors have also emerged as steady buyers. Registered investment advisors (RIAs), which collectively oversee around $146 trillion in client assets, have been net purchasers of Bitcoin exposure for eight consecutive quarters. 

RIA’s increased exposure to Bitcoin ETFs. Source: River Their participation largely began after the launch of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in 2024. Over the past two years, RIAs have invested approximately $1.5 billion per quarter into Bitcoin ETFs, without a single quarter of net selling. 

Adoption within this group is already widespread: 29 of the top 30 US RIAs hold Bitcoin exposure. However, allocations remain minimal, averaging just 0.008% of assets, leaving considerable room for expansion.

Surge In Bank, Corporate And Retail Adoption Traditional banks are also moving closer to the asset. Around 60% of the largest US banks are reportedly developing Bitcoin-related products. 

Corporate adoption accelerated as well. Public company ownership of Bitcoin increased by 2.5 times in 2025, with businesses collectively ranking as the largest net buyers during the year. 

Much of this demand came from Bitcoin treasury companies, but River notes that many established corporations have been quietly adding BTC in smaller amounts. The firm expects this type of balance sheet adoption to expand across the S&P 500 in the years ahead.

Merchant usage has grown at a rapid pace. In the United States, the number of businesses accepting BTC payments tripled in 2025, while global merchant adoption rose by 74%. 

River, which serves more than 3,000 businesses across multiple industries, reports that the strongest growth is occurring among small, privately held companies, many of which do not publicly disclose their Bitcoin strategies.

Nation-States Expand BTC Holdings  Nation-state involvement also increased. Five additional countries became Bitcoin holders in 2025. Among them were Luxembourg and Saudi Arabia, whose sovereign wealth funds acquired exposure, and the Czech Republic.

Governments have accumulated Bitcoin through a variety of channels, including state-backed mining operations, direct purchases, ETF exposure, asset seizures, donations, and even hacking-related recoveries. 

Looking ahead, River argues that the divergence between price performance and adoption is striking. While the current phase of growth may not immediately translate into dramatic price multiples, it reflects a deeper form of progress: 

We expect that in the coming years, Bitcoin adoption will not only continue its current trend but meaningfully accelerate.

TLDRBinance and Ondo Finance Launch Tokenized Equities on AlphaTokenized Stocks Market Expands Across ExchangesGet 3 Free Stock Ebooks Binance has relaunched tokenized stocks trading through a partnership with Ondo Finance on Binance Alpha. The platform lists 10 tokenized U.S. stocks, ETFs, and commodity-linked products. Users in the United States cannot access the new tokenized stock offerings. Binance previously halted a similar service in 2021 after regulatory scrutiny in Europe. Ondo Finance has recorded over $550 million in locked value and $11 billion in cumulative trading volume since September 2025. Binance has relaunched tokenized stocks trading through a new partnership with Ondo Finance. The exchange will list 10 tokenized U.S. stocks, ETFs, and commodity-linked products on Binance Alpha. The move marks Binance’s return to this market nearly five years after halting a similar service.

Binance and Ondo Finance Launch Tokenized Equities on Alpha Binance has partnered with Ondo Finance to introduce tokenized versions of major U.S. equities on Binance Alpha. The platform operates within Binance Wallet and targets early-stage digital asset offerings. Users can trade blockchain-based versions of Apple, Google, Tesla, and Nvidia shares.

The lineup also includes the Invesco QQQ ETF, which tracks the Nasdaq index. Binance confirmed that users in the United States cannot access these tokenized stocks. Jeff Li, Binance’s vice president of product, said, “Our users now have even more convenient ways to explore and trade tokenized stocks.”

Binance Alpha allows access to projects before they reach the centralized spot marketplace. The company positions the platform as a gateway for higher-risk digital assets. Through this structure, Binance expands product access while keeping trading within its wallet ecosystem.

Ondo Finance issues the tokenized equities listed on the platform. The company focuses on bridging traditional financial assets with blockchain networks. Binance integrates these tokens directly into its wallet infrastructure.

Binance previously launched tokenized stocks in April 2021, starting with Tesla shares. The exchange later added Coinbase, Strategy, Microsoft, and Apple to the offering. However, regulators in the United Kingdom and Germany raised compliance concerns.

The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority and Germany’s BaFin reviewed the product structure. Following regulatory scrutiny, Binance discontinued the service within months. The company has now resumed tokenized equities through its collaboration with Ondo Finance.

Last month, Binance stated that it was considering a renewed push into tokenized equities. The latest listings on Binance Alpha confirm that plan. The rollout follows growing activity in blockchain-based stock trading platforms.

Tokenized Stocks Market Expands Across Exchanges Tokenized stocks have grown across crypto exchanges and traditional brokerages. The sector’s total value approaches $1 billion, according to recent market data. Ondo Finance reports more than $550 million in locked value.

The company also recorded $11 billion in cumulative trading volume since September 2025. Other exchanges, including Kraken, Bybit, and Gemini, have introduced similar products. Robinhood has also launched tokenized equity trading services.

Traditional exchanges have also outlined plans involving stock tokens. Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange have presented proposals tied to blockchain-based trading models. These developments align with Binance’s renewed entry into tokenized equities through Ondo Finance.

Summarize this article with:

In the middle of a 5 % drop over 24 hours, nearly 96 million XRP were transferred between two unknown wallets, according to on-chain data. Spotted by Whale Alert, this massive transaction occurs in a context of increased pressure on the asset. Technical coincidence or a signal to watch? The operation’s timing rekindles questions about the XRP dynamics.

In brief A massive transfer of 95,935,471 XRP, equivalent to nearly 127.8 million dollars, was detected on the blockchain by Whale Alert. This transaction occurred while XRP was recording a 5.36 % drop over 24 hours, increasing market attention. The funds were moved between two unknown wallets, without indication of a direct link to any exchange platform. In an already weakened market, this type of movement underscores the influence of large addresses on XRP sentiment and volatility. A transfer of 95.9 million XRP detected on the blockchain According to the reported information, a large-scale transaction was recorded on the XRP network, while the crypto was experiencing a drop. The movement was detected by the Whale Alert tracking service, known for reporting significant transfers involving large amounts of cryptos.

The transaction occurred while XRP was already showing a decline in the session. Indeed, the market context makes this kind of movement particularly visible, with investors closely monitoring any unusual activity likely to affect the short-term price.

The precise data communicated are as follows :

95,935,471 XRP were transferred ; The transaction represented approximately 127,796,391 dollars ; The funds were moved between two unknown wallets ; At the time of transfer, XRP was trading around 1.33 dollars ; The asset showed a drop of about 5.36 % over 24 hours. Also, the addresses involved are not publicly associated with any exchange platform or identifiable entity. No formal attribution can therefore be established at this stage.

A sensitive timing in a pressured market Beyond the numbers, this transaction occurs while XRP evolves in a prolonged bearish environment. The absence of indication on the real destination of the funds leaves room for different hypotheses, some observers mentioning the possibility of a potential sale or strategic repositioning.

No confirmed data allow affirming that it is a transfer to an exchange platform. Since the movement was made between two unknown wallets, it may also correspond to a simple internal reorganization of funds.

In a weakened market, this type of transaction nevertheless strengthens investor vigilance. Large addresses hold a significant influence capacity on liquidity and market sentiment. Upcoming on-chain data and price developments will determine if this episode will remain a simple technical movement or if it will become part of a positive dynamic for XRP.

Nothing at this stage indicates it is an imminent sale, but the timing raises questions. In an already tense market, this type of movement is enough to influence investor sentiment. Upcoming on-chain data and the evolution of the XRP price will help evaluate whether this is a simple technical transfer or a more structuring signal.

Performance among meme coins has been abysmal over the past few months, and the likes of Shiba Inu have suffered especially during this time. Currently sitting at over 92% lower than its all-time high levels from 2021, all hope seems to be lost for the meme coins as more than 60% of all holders have plunged into losses. However, even amid this disturbing trend, expectations still remain that the Shiba Inu price could see a reversal and move upward again.

Shiba Inu Could Hit New All-Time Highs? In an analysis shared earlier this month, crypto analyst Shib Spain highlights the possibility of the Shiba Inu price seeing a major price increase. This comes as the meme coin has entered what looks to be an accumulation phase, after coming out of a retracement period.

With the current downtrend, the analyst expects that the Shiba Inu price is setting up a bear trap, tricking traders into thinking the price will continue to fall and then doing the reverse. If this happens, then the analyst is expecting the meme coin’s price to rise 22x from the bottom of the bear trap, sitting around $0.0000045.

A 2,200% increase from here would put the price well above its all-time high of $0.00008, setting it on a course to new peaks. Shib Spain’s chart puts the top somewhere around $0.00018, essentially double its current peak levels.

Source: X SHIB Still On Track To Recover In the shorter term, the CoinCodex algorithm has also predicted a possible increase in the Shiba Inu price. The 1-3 month predictions show a tendency for a reversal, although the scale of this reversal seems to be severely limited in how high it could go.

Source: CoinCodex Even with the Shiba Inu Fear & Greed Index reading in the Extreme Fear territory, the algorithm predicts that Shiba Inu will see a 14.26% increase in the next three months, putting it well above $0.000007. Despite this, sentiment remains incredibly bearish, and volatility is still tethering on the high side at 8.89%, the website shows.

TLDR: Ondo Finance deploys OUSG on the XRP Ledger, targeting institutional capital with a $5,000 minimum investment threshold. USDY on Stellar offers Treasury-backed yield to users in emerging markets where currency instability remains a persistent challenge. Ripple’s institutional stack pairs RLUSD, Hidden Road, and Metaco custody with Ondo’s tokenized Treasury products for enterprise use. Ondo Finance bridges the asset and payments sides of finance by supplying Treasury instruments across two structurally distinct networks. Ondo Finance is expanding its real-world asset tokenization strategy beyond major Web3 chains. The protocol has deployed products on both the XRP Ledger and the Stellar network.

Each integration is designed to serve a distinct financial audience with a specific product offering. OUSG targets institutional capital on the XRP Ledger, while USDY addresses a broader user base on Stellar. This dual structure places Ondo Finance at the center of a growing tokenized Treasury market.

Ondo Finance and Ripple Target Institutional Capital Through Compliant Infrastructure OUSG is a tokenized representation of short-term U.S. Treasuries. It carries a minimum investment threshold of $5,000. This structure is not built for retail DeFi participation. Instead, it targets institutional capital looking for compliant, dollar-denominated yield.

Web3Alert on X pointed out that Ondo Finance has paired OUSG with RLUSD on the XRP Ledger. RLUSD is widely recognized as one of the most regulated stablecoins available.

We've all seen what $ONDO has been doing in the RWA space.

Tokenized US equities across leading Web3 chains like Solana, Ethereum & Binance Chain.

But Ondo's scope isn't just Web3 crypto chains.

Their selection of integrations with $XLM & $XRP Ledger seem intentionally driven.… pic.twitter.com/iSLsUKvyb5

— Web3Alert (@theweb3alert) February 24, 2026

Together, OUSG and RLUSD create a pathway for institutional assets to settle across enterprise-grade rails. The XRP Ledger provides near-instant settlement suited to high-value transactions.

Ripple’s broader ecosystem adds further institutional depth to this arrangement. Metaco and Standard Custody serve as institutional custody solutions within the stack.

Hidden Road brings prime brokerage capability, while GTreasury integrations support treasury operations. These tools allow tokenized collateral to work across real-world financial workflows.

Ondo Finance functions as the asset origination layer within this framework. It provides the Treasury instruments that the XRP Ledger infrastructure settles and manages.

The combined model targets banks, asset managers, and corporate treasury teams. Regulated assets on regulated rails form the backbone of this institutional design.

Stellar Integration Extends Yield-Bearing Access to Emerging Markets USDY is structurally different from OUSG in one important way. It accrues Treasury-backed returns while also functioning as a stable payment asset.

This makes USDY accessible to a much wider audience than institutional-grade products. Stellar’s network, built around financial inclusion and remittance corridors, is a natural fit.

Web3Alert observed that in regions facing currency instability or limited banking access, a 4–5% Treasury-backed yield addresses a real need. It helps individuals preserve the value of their money over time.

Traditional remittance platforms in developing economies do not offer this kind of return. A yield-bearing dollar provides measurably more utility than a static one.

Stellar’s infrastructure has long supported cross-border payments and financial access in underserved communities. USDY on Stellar merges the asset side and the payments side of finance into a single instrument.

Users in emerging markets can hold, send, and earn yield at the same time. This level of functionality has not been widely available through conventional financial services.

Ondo Finance sits between both institutional and retail ecosystems. It supplies the Treasury products that power each of these networks.

Ripple drives institutional RWA settlement infrastructure, while Stellar enables accessible, yield-bearing payments. Rather than competing, the two networks are building distinct verticals within the broader RWA economy.

MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MGE Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: MGEE), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025.

MGE Energy's GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) earnings for the full year of 2025 were $135.9 million, or $3.72 per share, compared to $120.6 million, or $3.33 per share, for the same period in the prior year.

MGE Energy's earnings for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $23.3 million, or 64 cents per share, compared to $22.0 million, or 61 cents per share, for the same period in the prior year.

Electric segment earnings increased $11.3 million for 2025 compared to 2024. This growth was largely driven by the successful deployment of key renewable energy projects. The Darien Solar Project in Rock and Walworth counties became operational in March 2025, followed by the Paris Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in June 2025. MGE owns 25 MW of solar capacity from the Darien Solar Project and 11 MW of battery capacity from the Paris BESS.

Gas segment earnings increased $2.5 million for 2025 compared to 2024. During 2025, gas retail therm deliveries increased approximately 14% compared to the prior year, primarily due to warmer-than-normal weather in 2024.

More News From MGE Energy, Inc.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of common stock of Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) between June 12, 2025, and December 16, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”). A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 6, 2026.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Oracle common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Oracle class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=51135 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 6, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Oracle’s AI infrastructure strategy would result in massive increases in capital expenditures (“CapEx”) without equivalent, near-term growth in revenue; (2) Oracle’s substantially increased spending created serious risks involving Oracle’s debt and credit rating, free cash flow, and ability to fund its projects, among other concerns; and (3) as a result, defendants’ representations about Oracle’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Oracle class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=51135 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Partially disclosed copy hides YZi Labs’ fees

Non-disclosure provision ensured the SSA remained secret

LOUISVILLE, CO, Feb. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CEA Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: BNC) (“BNC” or the “Company”), a growth-oriented company focused on managing the world’s largest corporate treasury of BNB, again called upon YZILabs Management Ltd. (“YZi Labs”) to disclose the full agreement (the “Secret Side Agreement”) between YZi Labs and 10X Capital Asset Management LLC (“10X”):

The Secret Side Agreement is indeed secret: it contained a confidentiality provision that prohibits 10X from disclosing the agreement to any other party—including to the pre-PIPE Board and executives and to the independent members of the post-PIPE Board. The fact is that this agreement was not disclosed to the entire Board, the Company, or its stockholders whatsoever until a partial copy was belatedly released four months following execution. And, that partial copy conveniently failed to disclose the amount of fees YZi Labs was entitled to receive from the asset management fees paid by the Company to 10X.

If the Secret Side Agreement is no “secret,” then YZi Labs should promptly release the full agreement, including the fee schedule-just as we have been asking for months.

About CEA Industries Inc.

CEA Industries Inc. (Nasdaq: BNC) is a growth-oriented company that has focused on building category-leading businesses in consumer markets, including building and managing the world’s largest corporate treasury of BNB.

While shares of Domino’s Pizza NASDAQ: DPZ have not performed well over recent years, the firm has backing from arguably the most famous investment company in the world. Domino's isn’t a long-time holding of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway NYSE: BRK.B, but it isn’t a completely new one either. The firm first initiated a position in DPZ back in Q3 2024, purchasing 1.28 million shares. And, as astute investors do when a stock that they have strong conviction in drops, Berkshire has bought millions more shares since.

From the beginning of Q3 2024 to late February, Domino's shares have fallen by over 20%.  Accordingly, as of Q4 2025, the Berkshire position is now over 3.35 million DPZ shares, an increase of over 150% since inception. In total, Berkshire owns just under 10% of Domino’s shares, making it the company’s second largest shareholder. The position accounts for around 0.5% of Berkshire’s total portfolio, and is worth almost $1.4 billion.

Overall, Berkshire’s significant position and its willingness to buy the dips in Domino's stock are clear indications of its confidence in this name. Given this, Domino's is a stock worth examining after its latest earnings report.

Price Target$476.90

Domino’s put up a Q4 2025 earnings report that impressed markets, with shares of the consumer discretionary company rising around 4% in response.

Domino's posted revenue of $1.54 billion, a slightly more than 6% year-over-year increase. This figure surpassed the consensus estimate of $1.52 billion. The firm’s adjusted earnings per share (EPS) grew by over 9% to $5.35. This just barely missed estimates of $5.38.

Looking into 2026, Domino’s expects to grow global sales by around 6%. This indicates a slight acceleration versus global retail sales growth of 5.4% in 2025.

Market Share Leader with Expansion in Sight Domino’s has the leading U.S. market share among fast-food pizza chains, with Pizza Hut (a Yum! Brands NYSE: YUM subsidiary) as its biggest rival.

Market share is best tracked using retail/system sales—total sales across company-owned and franchised stores—rather than reported revenue, since franchisees own most locations and the parent company only keeps a slice of those sales.

See Full Analysis

In 2024, Domino’s generated U.S. retail sales of $9.5 billion, vastly exceeding Pizza Hut’s $5.5 billion in system sales. In 2025, the company grew its lead against Pizza Hut considerably. DPZ’s full-year U.S. retail sales came in at around $9.95 billion, compared to Pizza Hut’s approximately $5.11 billion of system sales. Domino’s U.S. sales rose 4.7% over the full year, while Pizza Hut’s fell 8%.

To add insult to injury, Yum! expects to close 250 U.S. Pizza Hut locations in 2026. Meanwhile, Domino's plans to open 175 or more new stores in the United States. This gives Domino’s a strong opportunity to continue taking share from Pizza Hut. Notably, Yum! has also begun a “strategic review” of Pizza Hut, a move that often indicates concern around a brand’s performance and trajectory. Strategic reviews can even lead to a company selling a brand.

Domino's is a market share leader and has a real opportunity to continue growing its lead from its already strong position. Furthermore, the threat of new entrants is somewhat limited by the fragmented nature of the pizza industry. Aside from the big quick-service players, much of the industry centers around mom-and-pop establishments. Domino’s economies of scale make it very difficult for these dispersed stores to compete on price.

Prolific Dividend Grower Trading at Discount Versus History With Domino’s holding a strong position in its market and its top competitor showing weakness, Berkshire’s bullish stance carries real weight. The stock shows signs of undervaluation, trading at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 21.5x. This is around 16% below its three-year average forward P/E of 25.7x.

Domino's also provides a bit of income juice for investors. Alongside its earnings release, Domino's announced a very strong 15% increase to its quarterly dividend. This moves its quarterly dividend up to $1.99, providing the stock with a meaningful dividend yield of approximately 2%. Although not sky-high, this yield is considerably above the 1.1% offered by the S&P 500 Index.

Domino’s has grown its dividend by an impressive 18% compound annual rate over the past five years. This is a claim that only a small portion of U.S. large-cap stocks can make. The company will pay its next dividend on March 30 to shareholders of record as of the March 13 close.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins LLP reminds stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Corcept Therapeutics Incorporation (NASDAQ: CORT) common stock between October 31, 2024 and December 30, 2025. Corcept is a pharmaceutical company focused on the development of medications to treat severe endocrinologic, oncologic, metabolic and neurologic disorders by modulating the effects of the hormone cortisol.

For more information, submit a form, email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003.

The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (CORT) Misled Investors Regarding the Viability of its New Product Candidate

According to the complaint, one of Corcept's lead new product candidates is relacorilant, which is being developed for multiple indications, including as a treatment for patients with hypercortisolism (also known as "Cushing's syndrome"). During the class period, defendants represented that the key clinical trials supporting the use of relacorilant as treatment for patients with hypercortisolism were "powerful support" for the New Drug Application ("NDA") that Corcept submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for this indication. Defendants also stated that they had communicated with the FDA about this NDA and were confident in submitting the NDA, foreseeing no impediments to approval. Toward the latter part of the class period, defendants repeatedly told investors that "relacorilant is approaching approval."

Plaintiff alleges that in truth, the FDA had raised concerns about the adequacy of the clinical evidence supporting the NDA and, as a result there was a known material risk that Corcept's relacorilant NDA would not be approved.

The complaint continues that on December 31, 2025, Corcept revealed that the FDA had issued a Complete Response Letter ("CRL") regarding the NDA for relacorilant as a treatment for patients with hypercortisolism. The press release issued by the Company stated that the FDA had "concluded it could not arrive at a favorable benefit-risk assessment for relacorilant without Corcept providing additional evidence of effectiveness." As a result of this disclosure, the price of Corcept common stock declined from a closing price of $70.20 on December 30, 2025, to a closing price of $34.80 on December 31, 2025, or 50.4%.

What Now: You may be eligible to participate in the class action against Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated. Shareholders who wish to serve as lead plaintiff for the class should contact Robbins LLP. The lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. You do not have to participate in the case to be eligible for a recovery. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member. For more information, click here.

All representation is on a contingency fee basis. Shareholders pay no fees or expenses.

About Robbins LLP: A recognized leader in shareholder rights litigation, the attorneys and staff of Robbins LLP have been dedicated to helping shareholders recover losses, improve corporate governance structures, and hold company executives accountable for their wrongdoing since 2002.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against PomDoctor Ltd. (“PomDoctor” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: POM). Such investors are advised to contact Danielle Peyton at [email protected] or 646-581-9980, (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased. 

The class action concerns whether PomDoctor and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.

[Click here for information about joining the class action]  

In the weeks leading up to December 10, 2025, PomDoctor’s share price surged from the initial public offering price of $4.00 to an all-time high of $6.09, despite no fundamental news from the Company that would justify such a spike.  Investigations and public reports have since revealed that PomDoctor used social media to orchestrate an illicit “pump and dump” promotion scheme to defraud investors.  The reports describe how impersonators claiming to be legitimate financial advisors touted PomDoctor in online forums, chat groups, and through social media posts with sensational but baseless claims to create a buying frenzy among retail investors. 

On December 10, 2025, PomDoctor’s share price abruptly crashed by approximately 91% to $0.50.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Ultragenyx To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or acquired securities in Ultragenyx between August 3, 2023 and December 26, 2025 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 24, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc ("Ultragenyx" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: RARE) and reminds investors of the April 6, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (i) defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to the effects of setrusumab on patients with variable types of Osteogenesis Imperfecta ("OI"), while also minimizing risk that patients in Ultragenyx' Phase III Orbit study would fail to achieve a statistically significant reduction in annualized fracture rate ("AFR"), such that the second interim analysis could be performed and presented to the investing public; and (ii) in truth, Ultragenyx' optimism in the Phase III Orbit study's results and interim analysis benchmark were misplaced because Ultragenyx failed to convey the risk associated with basing such threshold figures on Phase II results that had no placebo control group for appropriate comparison and thus had not ruled out that the reduction in AFR from that study could merely be triggered by an increased standard of care and the placebo effect of being provided a novel treatment.

On July 9, 2025, Ultragenyx revealed that the Phase III Orbit study failed to achieve statistical significance for the second interim analysis and that Phase III Orbit and Cosmic studies would now be "progressing toward final analysis."

On this news, the price of Ultragenyx stock fell more than 25%, according to the complaint.

Then, on December 29, 2025, Ultragenyx announced that both its Phase III Orbit and Cosmic Studies had not "achieved statistical significance against the primary endpoints of reduction in annualized clinical fracture rate compared to placebo or bisphosphonates, respectively." Ultragenyx allegedly attributed the study failure to a "low fracture rate in the placebo group" of Orbit and a trend that fell shy of statistical significance in Cosmic.

On this news, the price of Ultragenyx stock fell more than 42%, according to the complaint.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Ultragenyx's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

(“Plug Power” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PLUG) and certain officers.

Plug Power provides hydrogen fuel cell turnkey solutions for the electric mobility and stationary power markets in North America and Europe, including hydrogen storage and production equipment or the delivery of hydrogen fuel, and develops infrastructure such as hydrogen production plants.

At all relevant times, Plug Power represented that it is “committed to building a network [of hydrogen production plants] across the United States”.

Supporting Plug Power’s operations and building out a network of hydrogen production plants required significantly more capital than the Company had available. Accordingly, as of early 2021, Plug Power began the process of applying for a loan through the U.S. Department of Energy’s (“DOE”) Loan Program’s Office (“LPO”). On January 16, 2025, in the closing days of former U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration, Plug Power announced it had “closed a $1.66 billion loan guarantee” from the U.S. DOE’s LPO (the “DOE Loan”), a multi draw term loan facility by way of a series of advances subject to the achievement of certain conditions. Plug Power said that the DOE Loan “will help finance the construction of up to six projects to produce and liquefy zero- or low-carbon hydrogen at scale throughout the United States,” and further stated that the first project to benefit from this financing would be its green hydrogen plant located in Graham, Texas.

Approval and funding of disbursements under the DOE Loan were subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, evidence of satisfaction of certain technical and performance related conditions precedent, adequate project funding, reports from certain technical consultants and advisors, and the receipt of certain errata financial models demonstrating compliance with the financial covenants set for in the DOE Loan. Further, the DOE Loan advances could only be used to pay for eligible costs associated with the qualifying projects, i.e., the construction of six projects to produce and liquefy zero- or low-carbon hydrogen at scale for which DOE granted the DOE Loan.

The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Defendants had materially overstated the likelihood that funds attributed to the DOE Loan would ultimately become available to Plug Power, and/or that Plug Power would ultimately construct the hydrogen production facilities necessary to receive those funds; (ii) as such, Plug Power was likely to pivot toward more modest projects with less commercial upside; and (iii) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On October 7, 2025, Plug Power issued a press release and filed a current report on Form 8-K with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) announcing that Defendant Andrew Marsh would step down from his role as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, “effective as of the date [Plug Power] files its [2025] Annual Report”, and that Sanjay Shrestha would step down from his role as the Company’s President, “effective as of October 10, 2025[.]” Plug Power concurrently announced the appointment of Chief Revenue Officer Jose Luis Crespo to both roles. The abrupt departure of two key executives just one month before the expected issuance of Plug Power’s financial and operating results for the third quarter plainly did not bode well for the Company.

On this news, Plug Power’s stock price fell $0.26 per share, or 6.29%, to close at $3.87 per share later that day.

Then, on November 10, 2025, Plug Power issued a press release reporting its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and filed a quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC that reported the same. That same day, Plug Power held a related conference call to discuss those results. During the call, Defendants announced that they expected to generate more than $275 million in liquidity after signing a nonbinding letter of intent to monetize their electricity rights in New York and one other location in partnership with a major U.S. data center developer, and that “[a]s a result, we have suspended activities under the DOE loan program, allowing us to redeploy capital”. This represented a significant pivot for Plug Power. Defendants had not previously discussed the possibility of suspending activities under the DOE Loan and during the Class Period, and, just eight months earlier, had specifically advised analysts that they should “not expect revenue from that segment [i.e., data center power generation] of any size over the next two to three years”.

On this news, Plug Power’s stock price fell $0.09 per share, or 3.39%, to close at $2.53 per share on November 11, 2025.

Then, during market hours on November 13, 2025, The Washington Examiner reported that Plug Power “confirmed . . . that it suspended activities” on “its plans to construct six facilities to produce and liquefy zero or low-carbon hydrogen, putting at risk” the $1.66 billion DOE Loan it closed in January.

On this news, Plug Power’s stock price fell $0.48 per share, or 17.58%, over the following two trading sessions, to close at $2.25 per share on November 14, 2025.
