Fifth Third Bank CEO Tim Spence says that nearly 60% of the company's employees are using an AI tool in their day-to-day workflows https://bloom.bg/3NxtBCH

Drugstore stocks, a car company and consumer stocks with low price-to-earnings ratios are all good bets.

Key Takeaways On Wednesday, NBIS scored a $2 billion partnership with NVDA.A core focus of the collaboration is building a best-in-class stack for agentic AI.Within the agreement, Nebius will gain early access to NVDA's next-gen technology. Nebius Group ((NBIS - Free Report) ) is a leading AI infrastructure company. The rapidly growing company provides the heavy-duty hardware and software infrastructure that ‘hyperscalers’ require to build complex AI models.

Nebius Scores Landmark NVIDIA InvestmentTuesday, Nebius announced a deal with the artificial intelligence leader, NVIDIA ((NVDA - Free Report) ). As part of the deal, NVIDIA will invest $2 billion directly into Nebius, marking one of its largest investments in the “neocloud” business to date. The details of the NBIS/NVDA deal include:

·       Infrastructure Support: The primary goal of the investment is to help Nebius scale its compute capacity.With the $2 billion NVDA investment, NBIS will be able to deploy a massive 5 gigawatts (GW) of NVIDIA-powered compute capacity by the end of the decade.

·       International Expansion: Although most of NBIS’s business comes from the United States, the NVDA investment will help the Netherlands-based company to build multiple AI factories globally.

·       Technical Collaboration: As part of the agreement, the two companies will work together on AI factory design.

·       Ushering in the Agentic AI Revolution: Roughly a year ago, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang correctly predicted that agentic AI would become the next wave of the AI revolution. Unlike generative AI chatbots, agentic AI agents work autonomously and can conduct human-like tasks 24/7. As detailed in the deal, the two AI powerhouses will collaborate to create a best-in-class inference and agentic AI stack.

·       Access to NVIDIA Products: Finally, because NVIDIA has the best AI technology (by leaps and bounds), its products are often sold out instantly. For Nebius, the real prize is early access to “Rubin”, NVIDIA’s next-generation platform.

Nebius: Big Tech Deals Cement its Market LeadershipOver the past few months, the market has spoken loudly and clearly. Late last year, Nebius scored a $17.4 billion (with potential to be $19.4 billion agreement with Microsoft ((MSFT - Free Report) ) and a $3 billion agreement with Meta Platforms ((META - Free Report) ). The size of the deals and the quality of the partnerships mean that NBIS will be an AI leader for years to come.

Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest that NBIS will grow revenue by a staggering 505% in 2026 and 190% in 2027.

NVDA Deal Triggers NBIS BreakoutOn Wednesday, the NVDA deal acted as a catalyst for NBIS shares. In early afternoon trading, NBIS shares jumped more than 14% and broke out of a multi-month base structure as volume swelled to more than 200% above the 50-day norm.

Bottom Line

With the backing of the industry’s most influential players-NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Meta- Nebius group has become an indispensable architect of the AI era. Expect Nebius to flourish further as the AI focus shifts from simple chatbots to sophisticated agentic AI agents.

All right. Thanks, everybody, for joining us this afternoon. Very pleased to have with us Yair Malca, CFO at InMode.

Question-and-Answer Session

Matthew Miksic
Barclays Bank PLC, Research Division

So I think the topic for some time has been sort of, as I kind of make this shape with my hand of a down cycle and then the flat part of the cycle and then waiting for this up cycle. That's probably been something we've talked about a bunch over the last 2 years or 3 years. But maybe just to start off, I don't want to make too much of it. I don't want to get too overoptimistic, but it sounded like there were some signs of some improvement. This was, of course, before the events of last week, but it seemed like some hints that things might be starting to recover a touch in some of your end markets. So I hope I'm adding enough caveats and calibrating my enthusiasm enough. But tell me your thoughts on how you're looking at the market now and the cycle that you're in.

Yair Malca
Chief Financial Officer

Sure. First of all, thanks for having us. It's always a pleasure to come here to Miami to be with you guys. Great conference. In terms of what we see and our message is that after 2 years of declining business that we've experienced, we expect 2026 to be flat. And hopefully, things will only get better from here. And that's basically what we have guided to, at least flat on the top line. We are expecting some kind of pressures

Key Takeaways Palantir projects ~$7.19B 2026 revenues and about $1.53B Q1 midpoint as AI platform demand fuels growth.PLTR guides ~$4.13B adjusted operating income and $3.9B$4.1B free cash flow, highlighting margin expansion.Palantir's Rule of 40 near 118% underscores scalable software economics and strong profitability discipline. Shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR - Free Report) continue to attract investor attention as the company’s outlook for 2026 highlights a powerful combination of strong revenue growth and exceptional profitability. The key factor driving the narrative is Palantir’s extraordinary margin expansion, which is increasingly positioning the company as one of the most efficient players in the enterprise AI software space.

Management’s guidance suggests that momentum remains firmly intact. The company expects first-quarter revenues of about $1.53 billion at the midpoint, indicating continued sequential growth. For the full year, Palantir anticipates revenue of roughly $7.19 billion at the midpoint, representing robust 61% year-over-year expansion. While strong demand for artificial intelligence platforms continues to support growth, it is Palantir’s ability to translate that demand into profitability that stands out.

Adjusted operating income guidance of approximately $4.13 billion points to further margin expansion, while adjusted free cash flow is projected between $3.9 billion and $4.1 billion. These numbers underline Palantir’s growing operating discipline and scalable software model. The company also expects to maintain a Rule of 40 score near 118%, a level rarely achieved by companies of its size, reinforcing the durability of its financial structure.

In comparison, Snowflake (SNOW - Free Report) remains one of the prominent AI data platform providers benefiting from enterprise cloud data demand. However, while SNOW continues to focus on expanding its data ecosystem, profitability expansion has historically been more gradual than PLTR.

Another major player in the enterprise AI landscape is C3.ai (AI - Free Report) . The company focuses on delivering enterprise AI applications across industries, and C3.ai, Inc. continues to pursue aggressive platform adoption strategies. Yet, profitability remains an area where C3.ai, Inc. is still evolving compared with the operating leverage demonstrated by Palantir.

Overall, Palantir’s 2026 outlook reinforces a compelling theme: AI growth combined with exceptional profitability discipline. If the company continues executing on this trajectory, it could strengthen its position as one of the most financially efficient leaders in the enterprise AI software ecosystem.

PLTR’s Price Performance & EstimatesThe stock has gained 81% over the past year against the industry’s 4% decline.

LOS ANGELES, March 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP reminds investors of the upcoming April 20, 2026 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired NuScale Power Corporation (“NuScale” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SMR) common stock between May 13, 2025 and November 6, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR NUSCALE INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.

What Happened?
On November 6, 2025, after market hours, NuScale disclosed that the Company’s general and administrative expenses had increased more than 3,000%, to $519 million during its third fiscal quarter compared to $17 million in the prior year period. The surge was largely due to the Company’s payment of $495 million to ENTRA1 Energy LLC for its Tennessee Valley Authority agreement. As a result, NuScale’s quarterly net loss rose to $532 million, up from $46 million in the prior year period.

Following the Company’s earnings announcement, analysts at Guggenheim Securities published a report stating that ENTRA1 was a “3-year old company that has never built, financed or operated anything” and that its available information revealed nothing “regarding the company’s history, management team, size or capitalization.” The report further stated that a “more accurate description” of ENTRA1 would be “that it is an entity supporting the activities of a single individual, specifically [its CEO and Chairman, Wadie Habboush].”

On this news, NuScale’s stock price fell $4.03, or 12.4%, over two consecutive trading days to close at $28.43 per share on November 10, 2025, thereby injuring investors.

What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) ENTRA1 had never built, financed, or operated any significant projects—let alone projects in the highly technical and complicated field of nuclear power generation—during its entire operating history; (2) NuScale had entrusted its commercialization, distribution, and deployment of its NuScale Power Modules, and hundreds of millions of dollars of NuScale capital to an entity that lacked any significant prior experience owning, financing, or operating nuclear energy generation facilities; (3) the purported experience and qualifications attributed to ENTRA1 by defendants during the Class Period in fact referred to the purported experience and qualifications of the principals of the Habboush Group, a distinct entity without significant experience in the field of nuclear power generation; (4) as a result, NuScale's commercialization strategy was exposed to material, undisclosed risks of failure, delays, regulatory challenges, or other negative setbacks; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired NuScale common stock during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than April 20, 2026 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

Key HighlightsEnhanced Liquidity Access Through API PartnershipEnterprise-Level Technology for Retail UsersSignificant Collaboration in Decentralized Finance Sector Uniswap v2, v3, v4, and UniswapX liquidity now accessible through MetaMask Wallet Swaps. Enhanced pricing efficiency and expanded liquidity pools available within MetaMask interface. Institutional-quality routing technology now embedded in Wallet Swaps functionality. Cross-chain token exchanges supported across more than 16 blockchain networks. Free API access enables developers to implement similar liquidity solutions. MetaMask has adopted the Uniswap API to enhance its Wallet Swaps feature across over 16 different blockchain networks. This partnership establishes a direct connection between MetaMask’s user base and Uniswap’s comprehensive liquidity ecosystem and sophisticated routing capabilities. Users executing Wallet Swaps now benefit from enhanced liquidity depth and improved price discovery through access to Uniswap v2, v3, v4, and UniswapX protocols.

Enhanced Liquidity Access Through API Partnership By incorporating the Uniswap API, MetaMask has significantly upgraded the capabilities of its Wallet Swaps feature. This technical integration establishes a direct pathway to liquidity pools distributed across various iterations of the Uniswap protocol. The system enables order routing that spans multiple liquidity sources within a single transaction.

MetaMask has integrated the Uniswap API as one of its swap providers 🦊

This partnership enables MetaMask to leverage Uniswap’s proven automated market maker technology. Wallet Swaps can now access both traditional on-chain liquidity pools and UniswapX’s off-chain order execution system. This dual-source approach significantly enhances price optimization across various tokens and blockchain networks.

MetaMask chose the Uniswap API following comprehensive evaluation of available liquidity, pricing accuracy, and technical reliability. Given Uniswap’s established position in handling substantial decentralized exchange volume, Wallet Swaps now benefit from battle-tested routing algorithms deployed across numerous prominent platforms.

Enterprise-Level Technology for Retail Users The Uniswap API currently supports trading operations for multiple major cryptocurrency platforms. Notable users include OKX, Talos, Fireblocks, Anchorage Digital, and Ledger. MetaMask users now access the same robust infrastructure that facilitates institutional-level trading operations.

Uniswap’s technical framework handles extensive decentralized trading operations spanning multiple blockchain ecosystems. The protocol has facilitated over $40 trillion in cumulative trading volume. This integration means MetaMask Wallet Swaps now connect to one of the most substantial liquidity repositories in decentralized finance.

The technical implementation minimizes complexity during token exchange operations. Users obtain quotes and execute Wallet Swaps entirely within the MetaMask environment. Additionally, the intelligent routing system automatically identifies optimal liquidity pathways across different protocol versions.

Significant Collaboration in Decentralized Finance Sector This integration represents a meaningful alliance between two dominant forces in decentralized finance. MetaMask functions as among the most prevalent self-custody wallet solutions throughout Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks. Concurrently, Uniswap maintains its position as the foremost decentralized exchange liquidity source.

Through this technical collaboration, MetaMask has essentially embedded Uniswap’s routing technology into its core wallet architecture. Wallet Swaps increasingly depend on Uniswap’s liquidity framework for execution. This arrangement transforms the wallet interface into a streamlined access point for decentralized trading pools.

Application developers can also leverage this infrastructure through Uniswap’s developer resources. The API remains available without cost and doesn’t impose subscription fees or per-transaction charges. As adoption expands across additional applications, Wallet Swaps and comparable trading utilities may progressively depend on Uniswap’s routing infrastructure throughout the broader decentralized finance landscape.

The Dogecoin price is currently trading at $0.0922, trapped between a rapidly improving technical structure and a suffocating macro sentiment backdrop.

While the broader market remains risk-averse, DOGE has printed a ‘Morning Doji Star’ pattern on the monthly chart, a classic DOGE bullish reversal signal that has historically preceded violent rallies.

(SOURCE: Fear & Greed Index)

This technical optimism, however, clashes directly with the “Extreme Fear” (15/100) currently gripping the Fear & Greed Index for the sector.

The immediate directional bias now hinges on a singular inflection point: the $0.094 resistance level.

DOGE is experiencing this indecision as the total crypto market cap has dropped -1.5% in the past 24 hours, falling back below $2.5 trillion as a result. This ongoing price action is prompting many traders to seek blue-chip crypto plays to escape current volatility.

(SOURCE: TradingView)

Dogecoin Price Analysis: Monthly Reversal Patterns The core of the current bullish thesis relies on a repeating fractal identified by market analyst Trader Tardigrade. According to the analyst, Dogecoin has completed a Morning Doji Star formation on the monthly timeframe.

This pattern typically consists of three candles: a bearish decline, a Doji indicating indecision, and a bullish engulfing candle confirming the reversal. A similar structure in 2023 preceded a 400% rally that took the asset to $0.22.

On the daily chart, Dogecoin price analysis reveals a tightening consolidation range. The asset is currently testing the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) near $0.094. A decisive close above this level is technically significant: it would invalidate the prevailing lower-high structure that has constrained price action since late 2025.

However, the bullish case is not without caveats. Bears have fiercely defended the $0.094–$0.10 zone thrice in the last quarter. Furthermore, meme coin liquidity remains fragmented, with capital rapidly rotating between legacy assets like DOGE and newer, speculative tokens. As highlighted in previous reports, DOGE has recently entered a maximum opportunity zone, but valid confirmation requires a breakout above overhead resistance.

$DOGE – don't know a thing about the coin but as we enter a solid demand zone and the way back toward ATH is about 4.5x, this is setting up not too bad at all. pic.twitter.com/rVTc1mIl2z

— Fibby. (@Fibonacci_TA) March 11, 2026

Sentiment Analysis: Extreme Fear vs. Technicals While the technicals hint at recovery, crypto market sentiment remains deeply depressed. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index currently reads 15/100, indicating “Extreme Fear.”

Historically, such readings have served as contrarian buy signals, signaling periods of capitulation when weak hands exit the market. Yet, extreme fear can persist for weeks without a catalyst, acting as a drag on price appreciation.

This sentiment backdrop creates a divergence. On-chain data suggests long-term holders are accumulating, treating the sub-$0.10 region as a value zone. Conversely, retail sentiment is fragile and reacts sharply to macro headwinds affecting the broader market.

This is consistent with broader trends where Bitcoin hits deep value levels while general sentiment remains fearful. For DOGE, the decoupling of price action from this fear metric is the primary signal traders are watching.

The Bull Case: Can DOGE Reclaim $0.10? $Doge/monthly#Dogecoin appears the same bullish candlestick on monthly chart- Morning Doji Star 🔥

It is a bullish reversal pattern signalling the end of a downtrend and a potential shift to an uptrend.

— Hailey LUNC XRP (@TheMoonHailey) March 3, 2026

The market now faces two distinct scenarios based on the reaction to the $0.094 pivot level:

The Bullish Scenario: If buyers force a daily candle close above $0.094, it would confirm the Morning Doji Star pattern. Such a move would likely trigger a short squeeze, opening the way to the next major liquidity node at $0.15.

Analyst projections suggest that if the macro pattern plays out fully, a long-term target of $0.70 remains mathematically possible, though it requires sustained volume.

The Bearish Scenario: Failing to reclaim $0.094 would reinforce the bearish trendline. A rejection here would likely see DOGE retest the local support at $0.085.

A breakdown below $0.08 would be technically devastating, potentially exposing the asset to a slide toward $0.06 as stop-losses cascade. Traders are watching volume closely: a low-volume breakout is likely a trap, whereas a high-volume surge confirms the reversal.

(SOURCE: Maxi Doge)

As DOGE battles critical resistance levels, traders seeking alternative exposure to the meme coin narrative are diversifying into early-stage projects like Maxi Doge ($MAXI).

Positioned as a high-beta play on the Dogecoin ecosystem, Maxi Doge offers a cleaner entry point for investors looking to bypass the heavy resistance levels faced by legacy meme coins.

The project has raised over $4.6M in its initial seed rounds, attracting capital from degen traders betting on a meme supercycle. Unlike legacy assets with multi-billion-dollar market caps, Maxi Doge offers favorable tokenomics: 40% allocated to liquidity, 30% to marketing, and a strategic burn mechanism designed to enforce scarcity.

For investors hedging against a potential DOGE rejection at $0.094, this presale offers a speculative vehicle with a distinct risk-reward profile.

Strategic Collaboration: Mastercard’s Crypto Partner Program brings together Binance, PayPal, Ripple, and more than 85 companies to connect blockchain tools with global payment infrastructure. Unified Payment Stack: Binance adds liquidity, PayPal provides consumer reach, and Ripple delivers cross‑border settlement technology, forming a combined system that could support faster and cheaper global transactions. Growing Institutional Momentum: The initiative builds on Mastercard’s earlier crypto efforts and reflects rising confidence in regulated blockchain systems.
Mastercard’s new Crypto Partner Program is emerging as one of the strongest signals yet that blockchain is moving deeper into global finance. With Binance, PayPal, and Ripple participating alongside more than 85 companies, the initiative aims to connect digital asset infrastructure with the payment networks that already support worldwide commerce. The collaboration brings together liquidity, consumer reach, and cross‑border settlement technology, forming a unified stack that could accelerate the shift toward blockchain‑powered transactions.

A Growing Alliance Linking Blockchain and Traditional Payments The program includes exchanges, fintech firms, blockchain developers, and banks such as Binance, Circle, Ripple, Gemini, PayPal, and Paxos. Mastercard’s goal is to explore how on‑chain tools can integrate with the rails used by banks, merchants, and consumers in over 200 countries and territories. Digital assets once operated outside traditional finance, but companies are increasingly testing blockchain to move money faster and settle transactions around the clock. Mastercard argues that scaling these systems requires linking them to established global networks rather than replacing existing infrastructure.

Why Binance, PayPal, and Ripple Matter Each partner brings a distinct layer of value. Binance contributes deep liquidity, enabling fast access to a wide range of digital assets. PayPal, with more than 430 million active accounts, offers a powerful consumer on‑ramp that bridges traditional finance and crypto. Ripple provides the cross‑border settlement layer known for enabling fast and efficient international transfers. Together with Mastercard, these capabilities form a next‑generation payment rail that could support sub‑second global settlements at fees below 1%.

Potential Impact on Global Commerce If executed successfully, the collaboration could reduce friction for businesses and consumers by enabling faster, cheaper international payments. It may also accelerate the development of tokenized assets, programmable payments, and real‑time global payroll systems. For companies operating across borders, the ability to move money in seconds rather than days would be transformative. Consumers could benefit from seamless crypto‑enabled spending across e‑commerce, travel, and remittances.

Institutional Momentum Continues to Build The initiative builds on Mastercard’s earlier efforts, including crypto‑linked cards, blockchain startup support, and compliance tools for banks. Competitors like Visa are exploring similar paths, testing settlement with digital dollars. While regulatory and technical challenges remain, the combined force of Mastercard, Binance, PayPal, and Ripple signals rising institutional confidence in blockchain infrastructure and a meaningful step toward mainstream crypto adoption.

Mastercard has launched a global Crypto Partner Program that includes Ripple to advance on-chain payments. The initiative, announced today by Mastercard, links blockchain developers, exchanges, and financial institutions with existing payment infrastructure. According to Mastercard, the program aims to connect digital asset technology with global commerce systems supporting cross-border transfers, B2B payments, and settlements.

Ripple Joins Mastercard Crypto Partner Program Ripple acknowledged the initiative and stressed that cross-network cooperation remains essential for real-world digital asset payments. In a statement on X, Ripple said digital assets are moving from experimentation toward practical use across financial systems.

Ripple added that programs like Mastercard’s effort bring builders, networks, and financial institutions closer to a trusted payment infrastructure. Today, as CoinGape reported, Ripple plans to acquire BC Payments in Australia to enhance its payments in the Asia-Pacific region.

Mastercard places the Crypto Partner Program as the main effort to align blockchain innovation with established card rails. In a blog post, Mastercard said participants will work with Mastercard teams on products that combine programmable digital assets with existing payment networks.

These discussions target enterprise use cases such as remittances, global payouts, settlements, and business-to-business transfers. The program brings together crypto exchanges, blockchain developers, fintech companies, and banks across the digital asset ecosystem. Named participants include top crypto exchange Binance, Circle, Ripple, Gemini, PayPal, and Paxos, according to Mastercard’s statement.

Mastercard said the initiative creates forums where partners collaborate with the company and its broader payments ecosystem. That ecosystem includes merchants, banks, and consumers connected through Mastercard’s global payments network. The network operates across more than 200 countries and territories and processes transactions used in everyday commerce.

Building On Earlier Blockchain Efforts Mastercard said the new initiative with Ripple and other crypto firms builds on several earlier programs focused on blockchain and digital assets. The company has supported crypto-linked cards and backed blockchain startups through its Start Path accelerator. It also runs the Engage platform, which includes a dedicated Crypto Card program for ecosystem partners.

These earlier efforts created collaboration channels between payment companies, financial institutions, and digital asset developers. The new program extends that structure by inviting partners to help shape future payment products.

Mastercard said participants will examine how blockchain systems integrate with traditional modes used by banks and merchants. The company emphasized practical execution and compliance as digital asset technologies move into operational financial services.

Meanwhile, other payment networks have explored similar technology experiments across digital assets. Visa, for example, has worked with stablecoin issuers and blockchain firms to test settlement using digital dollars. Western Union plans to launch its USDPT stablecoin on Solana.

Mastercard noted that payment infrastructure requires standards, regulatory oversight, and interoperability across borders. Those requirements shape the company’s approach to linking blockchain innovation with established global payment systems.

Key HighlightsEnterprise-Grade Framework Elevates Zcash MiningFoundry Digital Champions Privacy Cryptocurrency MiningGet 3 Free Stock Ebooks Foundry Digital enters privacy coin mining with U.S.-based Zcash pool launch.

Enterprise miners receive access to compliant, transparent Zcash mining services.

Launch promotes mining decentralization and reduces network centralization risks.

SOC 1 & 2 certifications provide institutional-level security and accountability.

Initiative combines professional mining standards with privacy-preserving blockchain technology.

Foundry Digital ventures into the privacy cryptocurrency sector with its upcoming Zcash mining pool scheduled for April 2026. This strategic expansion delivers enterprise-level compliance, professional operational standards, and complete transparency to the Zcash mining ecosystem. The initiative fills a critical void in mining services for institutional participants and publicly-traded mining companies.

This Zcash mining initiative draws from Foundry Digital’s track record managing Foundry USA Pool™, which commands the largest share of Bitcoin network hashrate globally. The organization applies its battle-tested infrastructure and independently audited operational procedures to deliver dependable, expandable mining solutions. This development underscores increasing institutional appetite for privacy-centric digital currencies.

The new Zcash pool targets miners prioritizing U.S.-domiciled operations and compliance-centered infrastructure. Participants benefit from transparent reward distribution backed by comprehensive reporting and documented methodologies. Specialized operational teams will maintain miner relationships and address technical challenges efficiently.

Enterprise-Grade Framework Elevates Zcash Mining The Zcash mining landscape has historically lacked professionally managed, compliance-oriented infrastructure suitable for institutional participants. Foundry Digital bridges this gap by implementing the same stringent operational standards proven in its Bitcoin mining operations. The project advances decentralized mining while minimizing counterparty exposure and operational uncertainties.

The platform’s U.S.-headquartered infrastructure maintains SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified controls. These certifications enforce the security protocols, transparency standards, and reporting rigor demanded by institutional mining operations. Participants access live reporting dashboards, documented payout structures, and compliance-optimized operational systems.

By introducing an additional mining pool option, this launch distributes network hashpower more broadly, mitigating concentration concerns. Enterprise miners can participate without dependency on singular, centralized pool operators. This approach reinforces Zcash network resilience and facilitates broader market participation.

Foundry Digital Champions Privacy Cryptocurrency Mining Zcash employs zero-knowledge cryptographic technology to protect transaction privacy while maintaining blockchain verifiability. Foundry Digital delivers professional mining infrastructure that respects network privacy principles. The company illustrates how institutional operational discipline and financial privacy can successfully integrate.

The mining pool architecture prioritizes scalability, uptime, and dependability, accommodating institutional operators and corporate mining entities. Independent audit capabilities foster confidence and stable revenue predictability for pool participants. Round-the-clock technical assistance reinforces the enterprise-focused infrastructure.

Foundry Digital broadens its position as a premier infrastructure partner beyond Bitcoin mining services. Through this privacy coin sector entry, the organization bolsters decentralized financial infrastructure development. The move reflects accelerating professional engagement with privacy-oriented blockchain assets.

Bitcoin (BTC) failed to break the $72,000 resistance on Tuesday, as onchain data suggested that BTC was entering the most “challenging” phase of the cycle.

Key takeaways:

Bitcoin price stays range-bound following another rejection at $72,000.

Rising supply in loss suggests the most “psychologically challenging” phase of the bear market is here.

Bitcoin must break resistance at $72,000 for a chance to end the downtrend.

Bitcoin faces the most frustrating phase of the cycleBitcoin is entering a period of “elevated uncertainty” where market participants display more hesitation than conviction, according to CryptoQuant analyst MorenoDV_.

“A combination of 3 key onchain metrics suggests that the market may be navigating one of the most psychologically challenging phases of the cycle,” MorenoDV_ said.

These include the Bitcoin bull-bear market cycle indicator, a metric that tracks phases of investor sentiment in the BTC market, which shows a bear market consolidation phase following the aggressive drawdown from cycle highs.

This is “a period that historically tends to frustrate both bulls and bears,” the analyst said.

The apparent demand further reinforces this picture. The chart above reveals that the spike in Bitcoin’s apparent demand in mid-February was short-lived, “with demand quickly slipping back into negative territory,” MorenoDV_ said.

The lack of sustained buying pressure indicates that market participants remain cautious and unwilling to aggressively accumulate at current levels.

Moreover, the Long-Term Holder SOPR is now below the key threshold of 1, a sign that even long-term investors are realizing losses.

“Historically, this phase tends to emerge in the later stages of bear markets, when prolonged uncertainty begins to erode even the strongest conviction. ”Bitcoin: Long-term holder SOPR. Source: CryptoQuantMeanwhile, Bitcoin supply in loss is rising again, currently approaching the 40–45% range, up from 22% in mid-January.

Historically, such levels appeared during deep corrective phases, as seen in 2015, 2019, and 2022, reflecting growing market stress and capitulation among sellers.

The chart below shows that macro market bottoms are historically formed when supply in loss rises above 50%.

“Supply in loss is increasing again, indicating rising market stress,” CryptoQuant analyst Woominkyu said, adding:

“If historical patterns repeat, the current level may represent the early phase of a bear market rather than the final bottom.”Bitcoin supply in loss, %. Source: CryptoQuantAs Cointelegraph reported, analysts forecast Bitcoin extending its bear market into late 2026, with some predictions as low as $30,000.

Bitcoin’s key resistance remains $72,000Bitcoin has made several unsuccessful attempts to rise above $72,000, a level that has suppressed the price since early March.

“Another rejection at the range high for the time being,” said analyst Daan Crypto Trades in an X post on Tuesday, referring to Bitcoin’s pause below $72,000 on Tuesday, adding:

“Still in the range and markets are in general very indecisive.”An accompanying chart showed $72,000 was the key level to watch on BTC’s four-hour chart. Breaching this level could attract new buyers if the price breaks out of its range.

Memecoins have suffered extensively as the crypto market experienced reduced liquidity. The sector’s market cap fell from $85 billion in 2025 to $29 billion as of this writing. 

Over the same period, memecoin trading volume fell from $18.5 billion to $3.5 billion, an 81% decline. This trend has been especially extreme on Solana. 

Memecoin trading volume share on Solana drops to 20% Solana’s market participants have significantly reduced their exposure to memecoins. According to SolanaFloor, memecoins now account for a mere 20% of trading volume on Solana DEX.

Source: SolanaFloor on X This marks a massive drop from previous cycles, especially during memecoin-driven pumps. During late 2024 and early 2025, memecoins accounted for 40-70% of Solana’s DEX trading volume.

The decline shows a significant cool-off in activity and reduced demand, reflecting rising risk-off sentiment in the market. 

Source: Dune With the volume declining, the number of traders has declined considerably across all chains. On Solana, for instance, the number of traders fell from 4.4 million in 2025 to 400k. 

On other chains such as BNB, it fell to 300k while dropping below 100k on Ethereum and Base. This decline was also accompanied by a lower number of transactions on Solana, falling from 45 million to 15 million, a trend observed across chains. 

Source: Dune Coupled with that, the number of both recurring and new traders dropped sharply. Daily, new traders fell from over 2k to below 1k, while recurring traders fell from 5k to 1.7k. 

The reduced trading activity signaled a clear bearish trend, with lower demand for memecoins as old traders stayed out of the market. The markets failed to attract new potential traders as well, further weakening demand-side liquidity. 

What’s ahead for memecoins? Memecoins continued to decline as investors stepped away from assets perceived as high risk. 

As a result, demand-side liquidity has plummeted, causing further market stress. Even more concerning is that most traders are on the sell side. 

Dune Analytics data showed that 55% of trading volume was on the sell side, compared to 44% on the buy side. So, most memecoin traders are currently bearish and see exiting as a better option. 

Source: Dune These market conditions point towards extended weakness for memecoins. If seller dominance persists while traders step back, the sector’s volume could drop below $3 billion, with market cap falling towards $25 billion. 

Final Summary  Memecoins’ share of the Solana DEX remained at 20% for an extended period, signaling reduced market activity.  The trading volume of memecoins fell 81%, dropping from $18.5 billion to $3.5 billion. 

Arthur Hayes is still structurally bullish on Bitcoin. He just does not think now is the moment to buy.

Speaking on the Coin Stories podcast on March 10, the BitMEX co-founder and Maelstrom CIO said he would stay patient until a more familiar macro catalyst arrives: central bank liquidity. In Hayes’ telling, a prolonged Iran war and the credit stress that could follow from AI-driven economic disruption may ultimately force the Federal Reserve back into money printing, and that, rather than the conflict itself, is the signal he is waiting for.

“If I had $1 to invest right now, would I be putting it into Bitcoin? No. I would wait,” Hayes said near the end of the interview. “I think that the longer that this conflict goes on, the higher the likelihood that the Fed has to print money to support the American war machine and that’s when I’m going to buy Bitcoin when the central banks start printing money.”

That distinction mattered throughout the conversation. Hayes pushed back on the idea that war is automatically bullish for Bitcoin, arguing that the real transmission mechanism is liquidity expansion. “If you’re saying, ‘Okay, war is good for Bitcoin,’ what you’re really saying is war means money printing. Money printing is good for Bitcoin,” he said. “So wait for the money printing. Don’t try to time it because you could get it wrong.”

Arthur Hayes Sees More Bitcoin Pain Ahead The argument fits a broader framework Hayes laid out across the interview: Bitcoin is less a clean debasement trade than a “liquidity alarm,” one that is already reacting to tightening conditions, credit stress and a lack of fresh dollar creation. He tied that view to the rise of AI, which he said could accelerate white-collar job losses, pressure private credit and banking exposures, and force markets to price in a much sharper economic break than many currently expect.

“I think it’s going to happen faster than people think just because of the exponential nature of how fast AI is improving,” Hayes said. “It only takes 10 to 20% [job displacement]. And then the leverage in the banking system will do the rest. At some point the market goes, ‘Oh, this is worth zero.’”

In that scenario, he said, the market’s recognition of the problem could come well before the full economic damage is visible in the data. Regional banks, private credit and broader financial equities could reprice violently, with deposit flight and emergency Fed support following close behind. That is the moment Hayes sees as far more constructive for Bitcoin than the current backdrop.

Still, his near-term caution did not extend to Bitcoin’s long-run role. Hayes described himself as “structurally very very long” crypto and argued that the case for non-state money is stronger now than it was at Bitcoin’s launch. He also warned against shaping the industry around institutional preferences, saying crypto should not reduce itself to a more complicated version of traditional finance.

“Bitcoin got from zero to whatever $66,000 whatever the price is today with no government support, unclear regulations, hostile banking infrastructure and regulators,” Hayes said. “So why are we bending over backwards to try to gain acceptance from these folks who don’t have our best interest at heart?”

He was equally dismissive of conspiracy-driven explanations for weak market performance, including claims that market makers are deliberately suppressing Bitcoin’s price. More often, he said, losses come down to poor positioning, bad timing or leverage used by traders who are not equipped for crypto’s pace.

For investors frustrated that Bitcoin has not delivered instant life-changing returns, Hayes’ answer was blunt: adjust expectations. “The market’s job is not to make you money. The market’s job is to take your money,” he said, arguing that long-term compounding still matters far more than trying to force a six-month windfall.

At press time, BTC traded at $69,538.

Kraken reissues its winning formula: from March 11 to April 13, 2026, the exchange offers a Bitcoin sweepstakes where every dollar traded on the platform gives the right to one entry. Maximum prize: 1 full Bitcoin, with more than 100 winners drawn by lottery and over $60,000 in BTC to distribute. Here is everything you need to know before registering.

In brief 1 $ traded = 1 entry: every crypto transaction on Kraken from March 11 to April 13, 2026 gives a chance to win Bitcoin rewards. Over 106 winners: the grand prize is 1 full BTC, with 5 prizes of $10,000 in BTC and 100 prizes of $100 in BTC. Open to KYC users: the offer is available in most regions where Kraken operates, including France and the EEA (excluding the UK and Australia). 🚀 Why Now? This is not the first time Kraken has organized this type of event. The platform already offered similar sweepstakes in November-December 2025 (for the holidays, with 3 BTC to win). The mechanism is well-developed and proven: very low entry barriers, participation possible from the first trade, and rewards in real assets.

How Does the Bitcoin Sweepstakes Work? The principle is deliberately simple. Here are the steps to follow.

Activate the offer — Go to the “Offers” section of the Kraken app, or “Promotions” on Kraken Pro. Registration is mandatory before starting to trade. Trade eligible assets — Buy, sell or convert crypto. Every $1 traded (notional value) generates 1 entry. Accounts denominated in other currencies (euros, etc.) are converted at the real-time USD rate. Accumulate entries — The cap is set at 1,000,000 entries per user. The more you trade, the more chances you get, with no additional purchase required. Draw — At the end of the period (April 13, 2026 at 13:59 UTC), winners are selected randomly from all valid entries. Prizes are automatically credited to the winners’ verified Kraken accounts. Reward structure In total, more than 106 winners will be drawn:

TierWinnersPrize111 full BTC25$10,000 in BTC each3100$100 in BTC each Total cumulative reward: 1 BTC + approximately $60,000 in BTC (the exact value in euros will depend on the Bitcoin price at the time of award).

What is eligible and what is not Counted in the participation calculation: purchases, sales, and conversions (swap) of cryptocurrencies on the Spot and Margin markets. Both Kraken App and Kraken Pro platforms are eligible.

Do not count: trades between fiat and stablecoins (e.g., USD → USDG), trades between stablecoins (e.g., USDG → USDC), and transactions involving Bundles, stocks, or xStocks. The latter are excluded from the participation pool.

Geographic eligibility The sweepstakes is open to all KYC validated users in all regions where Kraken operates, including the United States, France, and most EEA countries. Exceptions: the United Kingdom, Australia, and any other jurisdiction where trading incentives are prohibited by law. Identity verification (KYC) is mandatory to participate and receive a prize.

What it changes for the user For an occasional European trader, the operation offers real value without changing habits: if you plan to buy or sell crypto in the coming weeks, activate the offer and trade during the period. Each transaction earns additional entries at no extra cost.

For more active traders, the one million entry cap is easily reached with a moderate daily volume. Beyond this threshold, trading more does not generate additional entries.

Important point: it is possible to participate for free without trading, but with a maximum of 10 entries. Details on the official promotion page.

Comparison with previous editions Kraken offered the same format in November 2025 (1 BTC to win, 106 prizes total) and then in December 2025 (holiday edition with 3 BTC grand prize). The spring 2026 edition repeats the same mechanism and reward structure as in November, with an extended duration: 33 days versus 28. This format shows the exchange’s intention to make it an asset for its community.

⚠️ Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only. It does not constitute investment advice. Trading cryptocurrencies involves risk of capital loss. Conditions apply. 1 entry per dollar traded on Kraken. Limit of 1,000,000 entries per user. Geographic restrictions apply (notably United Kingdom, Australia). No purchase obligation. Terms and conditions: kraken.com/legal/bitcoin-sweepstakes-terms

Do I need a Kraken account to participate? Yes. A verified account (complete KYC) is mandatory. You can create an account for free at kraken.com. The offer activation is then done from the “Offers” tab of the app.

Do purchases of stocks or xStocks count? No. Transactions on Bundles, US stocks, and xStocks (tokenized stocks) are explicitly excluded from the participation count for this edition.

How are prizes credited? Automatically. Winners have no action to take: BTC is credited directly to the winner’s verified Kraken account. A notification email is sent.

Can I participate without buying anything? Yes, a free entry path exists (via Sweepea), but is limited to a maximum of 10 entries per user, compared to one million for active participants.

XRP Exchange Activity Hits Quarterly Lows Amid Calm Market PhaseXRP exchange activity has hit a three-month low as CryptoQuant data reveals steep drops in deposits and withdrawals, hinting at a quieter phase in market participation.

Well, XRP’s exchange activity hit a three-month low on March 10, with Binance’s Multi Exchanges Transactions Delta metric dropping to 376. Unlike traditional volume indicators, this metric tracks user transactions across 15 major exchanges, offering a clearer picture of market participation

XRP has fallen roughly 60% in recent months, now trading at $1.38 per CoinCodex data. 

Source: CoinCodexWell, the drop in on-chain activity suggests reduced selling pressure, as the Multi Exchanges Transactions Delta indicates investors are moving XRP to external wallets, signaling accumulation and long-term confidence rather than short-term liquidity needs.

Nevertheless, all hope is not lost because despite dipping below its 200-day moving average, XRP is showing notable resilience.

XRP Exchange Activity Hits Lows: Signs of Accumulation and Market ConsolidationHistorically, low exchange activity often signals consolidation or upward price trends, as investors hold rather than sell. Conversely, spikes typically indicate heightened selling as traders move coins to exchanges. 

Analysts caution that quiet periods can mask growing interest, with institutional and retail investors accumulating off-exchange, setting the stage for potential volatility once activity picks up. XRP, in particular, is seeing strong institutional demand, with spot ETFs drawing $1.4 billion in inflows since launch, highlighting robust market confidence.

For XRP holders, on-chain data points to a potential accumulation phase, with fewer users transferring coins to exchanges. While not a guarantee of a near-term price jump, this shift signals growing investor confidence and a preference for holding over selling. 

What’s the takeaway? Well, XRP’s exchange activity is entering a quieter phase, highlighting market consolidation and a possible buildup for the next move.

ConclusionXRP’s record-low exchange activity signals a shift toward accumulation and growing investor confidence. 

Fewer coins moving to exchanges suggest long-term holding, with the current quiet potentially setting the stage for the next major price move. 

TLDR​​ Adam Back defended Strategy’s Bitcoin accumulation and described the market as open and unrestricted. An X user questioned how Strategy buys billions of dollars in Bitcoin without moving the price. Adam Back responded by urging critics to buy more if they oppose the company’s approach. The total Bitcoin mined recently crossed 20,000,000 out of the 21,000,000 supply cap. Bitcoin traded at $69,386, down 1.5% over the past 24 hours at the time of reporting. Adam Back addressed criticism over Strategy’s Bitcoin accumulation and defended the company’s market approach. He responded after social media users questioned how Strategy buys billions without moving prices. Back stated that Bitcoin operates in a “free market” where anyone can participate without restrictions.

Strategy Faces Questions Over Bitcoin Accumulation An X user known as @FreedomMemesIRL criticized Michael Saylor and Strategy over its Bitcoin purchases. He asked how the firm buys billions of dollars in Bitcoin without affecting market prices. He also argued that Bitcoin should remain widely distributed rather than concentrated within one company.

The user said the growing concentration “feels wrong” and contradicts Bitcoin’s original vision. In response, Adam Back urged critics to “buy more” if they oppose Strategy’s actions. He added that Bitcoin functions as a “free market” where participants face no barriers to entry.

Back reiterated that no entity controls Bitcoin’s supply or access. He stressed that anyone can acquire exposure under the same market rules. He framed the debate as a matter of open competition rather than structural imbalance.

Institutional Buying Shifts Bitcoin Market Structure Before spot Bitcoin ETFs launched, retail investors controlled most of the circulating supply. As a result, the market recorded sharper price swings during earlier cycles. However, institutional investors have entered since regulators approved spot ETF products.

Institutions now purchase large amounts of Bitcoin through regulated investment vehicles. This shift has triggered discussions about market concentration and price influence. Some market participants question whether large purchases affect supply distribution.

A few days ago, miners produced the 20,000,000th Bitcoin out of the capped 21,000,000 supply. The milestone arrived despite periodic mining difficulty adjustments across the network. Some miners have also expanded operations toward artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Bitcoin Trades at $69,386 as Liquidity Tightens Market data shows Bitcoin traded at $69,386 at the time of writing. The asset recorded a 1.5% decline over the past 24 hours. Price action has remained range-bound as traders respond to macroeconomic signals.

Meanwhile, continued accumulation has reduced the liquid supply available on exchanges. Some market observers describe the current environment as a developing liquidity crunch. They argue that reduced supply could influence future price dynamics.

Strategy continues to hold large Bitcoin reserves under Michael Saylor’s leadership. Adam Back maintains that Bitcoin remains accessible to all market participants. As of publication, Bitcoin trades at $69,386, reflecting a 1.5% daily decrease.

Dogecoin volume surged over 100%, but price remains stuck near $0.093. Traders are going long, but the downtrend isn't over yet.

Fundstrat's Tom Lee says the crypto market has moved past its winter phase, with reduced speculation and leverage creating a healthier foundation for future gains. Markets Could Move Higher Through March Markets, including crypto and major tech stocks, appear to have emerged from a recent bear phase, Lee said in a CNBC interview on Tuesday.
