Rock and Drill samples were shipped for sample preparation to ALS Limited in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico and for analysis at the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver. The ALS Hermosillo and North Vancouver facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 certified. Gold was analyzed using 50-gram nominal weight fire assay with atomic absorption spectroscopy finish. Over limits for gold (>10 g/t), were analyzed using fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Silver and other elements were analyzed using a four-acid digestion with an ICP finish. Over limit analyses for silver (>100 g/t) were re-assayed using an ore-grade four-acid digestion with ICP-AES finish. Control samples comprising certified reference samples and blank samples were systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the Company's robust quality assurance / quality control protocol.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - March 10, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG) between January 17, 2025 and November 13, 2025, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important April 3, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Plug Power securities 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 Plug Power class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=1011 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 3, 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. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. 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) defendants had materially overstated the likelihood that funds attributed to the U.S. Department of Energy's 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; (2) as such, Plug Power was likely to pivot toward more modest projects with less commercial upside; and (3) as a result, Plug Power's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

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.

LOS ANGELES, March 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Portnoy Law Firm advises Snap, Inc., (“Snap" or the "Company") (NYSE:SNAP) investors that the firm has initiated an investigation into possible securities fraud, and may file a class action on behalf of investors.

Investors are encouraged to contact attorney Lesley F. Portnoy, by phone 844-767-8529 or email: [email protected], to discuss their legal rights, or join the case via https://portnoylaw.com/snap-inc. The Portnoy Law Firm can provide a complimentary case evaluation and discuss investors’ options for pursuing claims to recover their losses.

Snap’s stock price fell $3.45, or 26.9%, to close at $9.36 per share on August 2, 2024, thereby injuring investors. This decline followed the August 1, 2024, announcement of second quarter financial results, which reported revenue of $1,237 million and provided third quarter guidance between “$1,335 million to $1,375 million, implying year-over-year revenue growth of 12% to 16%.” Investors were injured further on September 6, 2024, when the stock price dropped $0.25, or 2.8%, to close at $8.62 per share. This second decrease came after the New Mexico Attorney General revealed on September 5, 2024, that the state’s Department of Justice had filed a lawsuit against the company. The legal action alleged that Snap’s recommendation algorithm, ephemeral content, and general policies facilitate child sexual exploitation and abuse material, while further claiming that Snap and its leadership misled the public regarding platform safety.

The Portnoy Law Firm represents investors in pursuing claims caused by corporate wrongdoing. The Firm’s founding partner has recovered over $5.5 billion for aggrieved investors. Attorney advertising. Prior results do not guarantee similar outcomes.

SummaryCompaniesExoAnalytic operates over 400 telescope systems globallyAnduril aims to enhance space sensing and tracking capabilitiesDeal terms were not disclosedWASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) - Anduril Industries on Wednesday said it has signed a definitive ‌agreement to acquire ExoAnalytic Solutions, a national security company specializing in space sensing and awareness and missile defense.

The purchase comes as defense technology firm positions itself ​for a role in President Donald Trump's Golden Dome missile ​defense project, an initiative to build a space-based shield capable ⁠of intercepting ballistic, cruise and hypersonic missiles.

The Reuters Iran Briefing newsletter keeps you informed with the latest developments and analysis of the Iran war. Sign up here.

Hundreds of companies are vying ​for a role in developing Golden Dome. Anduril was among companies that ​received smaller contracts for space-based interceptors awarded in late November.

ExoAnalytic grew from missile defense algorithms to building a global telescope network that tracks thousands of objects in ​orbit.

The company owns and operates more than 400 telescope systems deployed ​worldwide, giving it what Anduril described as persistent, high-fidelity awareness of deep space at ‌a ⁠global scale.

ExoAnalytic is also a leader in modeling and simulation for classified national security space programs and provides software and expertise for missile warning and missile defense.

Gokul Subramanian, Anduril's senior vice president of engineering, ​said the deal ​would supercharge the ⁠company's ambitions.

"We expect this acquisition to enable us to tap into those capabilities more and more," he ​told reporters, adding that the combined entity would advance ​Anduril's work ⁠in space sensing, tracking, battle management and fire control.

The acquisition, Anduril's first under its space business unit and its 11th overall, would integrate ExoAnalytic's ⁠global ​sensor network and data analytics with Anduril's ​expertise in autonomy and command and control.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The deal remains ​subject to regulatory approvals.

HONG KONG, March 11 (Reuters) - Cathay Pacific Airways (0293.HK), opens new tab posted a 9.5% rise in full-year profit on ​Wednesday driven by a strong passenger traffic recovery and ‌robust cargo demand and said it planned to lift capacity this year despite geopolitical volatility.

Net profit at Hong Kong's flagship airline rose to ​HK$10.83 billion ($1.38 billion) for the year ended December 31, ​beating LSEG SmartEstimate's HK$10.05 billion prediction and topping ⁠the HK$9.89 billion recorded in 2024.

The Reuters Iran Briefing newsletter keeps you informed with the latest developments and analysis of the Iran war. Sign up here.

Cathay Chairman Patrick Healy said ​the airline expected to grow passenger capacity by around 10% this ​year as it added frequencies and destinations to its network, which would also boost cargo capacity.

However, the airline faces headwinds from the ongoing Middle ​East conflict, which has disrupted global aviation operations, increased ​jet fuel costs and led some airlines to raise fares and boost fuel surcharges.

"The ‌prevailing ⁠global geopolitical environment is volatile, causing unexpected shifts in passenger and cargo traffic flows as well as jet fuel prices," Healy said in a statement.

Revenue climbed 11.9% to HK$116.8 billion ​in 2025, driven ​by a 15.8% ⁠surge in passenger revenue as Cathay has been expanding its long-haul network to North America ​and Europe. The carrier flew 28.9 million passengers ​during ⁠the year, a 26.5% increase from 2024, achieving an 85.2% load factor.

This marked Cathay's third consecutive annual profit following three years of ⁠losses ​over the pandemic, during which it ​made heavy layoffs.

Following the post-earnings surge, Oracle stock is testing a key resistance coinciding with its 50-day moving average (MA), with a decisive break above $168 expected to boost upward momentum in the near-term.

Versus its year-to-date low in early February, ORCL is now up nearly 20%.

Why Oracle stock is super cheap to own in 2026Luria sees Austin-headquartered Oracle as “undervalued” given its current price does not account for its massive $553 billion AI-driven Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) backlog.

At about $162, what’s baked in is the firm’s legacy software and baseline cloud operations, but its burgeoning artificial intelligence pipeline, he told CNBC, is getting “almost no credit” currently.

Meanwhile, neocloud rivals like CoreWeave and Nebius are trading at valuations exceeding “1x” their backlogs, the D.A. Davidson analyst added.

According to him, Q3 earnings confirm that Oracle can deploy its huge backlog while maintaining healthy margins – which means there’s significant untapped upside – as ORCL stock is essentially offering its AI future for free today.  

Oracle just delivered what it’s been promising for yearsFor years, Oracle was viewed as a legacy giant trapped in low-to-mid-single-digit organic growth, leading many analysts to remain skeptical of its ambitious turnaround promises.

However, Gil Luria emphasizes that Q3 represents a watershed moment where the company finally “delivered on that promise.”

In the third quarter, ORCL saw its revenue grow by 20% on a year-over-year basis while protecting its profit margins as well – a feat that silenced skeptics who believed the company can not scale its OCI business without sacrificing profitability.

By proving it can accelerate growth while maintaining a high double-digit earnings growth rate – Oracle shares have transitioned from a stable, legacy name into a “high-growth” AI infrastructure powerhouse that’s fundamentally better than it looks on the surface.

For the D.A. Davidson analyst, margin was the single most important number in ORCL's earnings that warrants buying its stock.

ORCL shares are insulated from AI disruption debateSpeaking with CNBC, the D.A. Davidson analyst addressed AI disruption fears as well, noting the “terminal value zero” debate misses a fundamental reality: software companies are best-positioned to harness AI’s power.

Because firms like Oracle employ vast armies of developers, they stand to gain the most from AI-driven productivity.

“Nobody is going to know how to use AI internally better than software companies,” Luria notes, suggesting that the ability to code more efficiently will unlock unprecedented operating leverage.

This makes ORCL shares even more attractive as this legacy giant is poised to use AI to streamline its own product development, potentially leading to a much leaner, more profitable organization.

Aave got hit hard. The decentralized finance platform faced a major technical breakdown on March 11, wiping out around $26 million through faulty liquidations of wrapped staked ETH positions that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

The mess started when Aave’s risk oracle couldn’t sync up its snapshot data properly – basically, the timestamp didn’t match the ratio it was supposed to track. Aave depends on these numbers to figure out when collateral positions need liquidating, but the mismatch sent everything haywire. Users holding wstETH, which is basically tokenized staked Ethereum, watched their positions get liquidated based on completely wrong collateral values. Pretty much a nightmare scenario for anyone involved.

Oracle systems are everything in DeFi.

When they break, people lose serious money fast. The Aave glitch shows just how fragile these data feeds can be – one small error and millions vanish. Users didn’t see this coming, and now they’re furious about getting liquidated for no good reason. The whole thing raises big questions about whether DeFi platforms can actually protect people’s money when their core systems fail.

Aave’s development team scrambled to contain the damage but hasn’t said much about compensation yet. They’re still figuring out what went wrong and whether they’ll pay back affected users. No timeline, no concrete promises – just vague statements about “assessing the situation” while people wait for answers.

The crypto community exploded with criticism.

Industry analyst John Doe said on March 12 that relying on single-source oracle data creates massive risk exposure. He thinks platforms need backup systems to double-check everything before liquidating positions. Makes sense, but most DeFi projects haven’t built those safeguards yet because they’re expensive and complicated.

Affected users flooded Twitter with complaints, demanding transparency from Aave about what exactly happened. Some want a full audit of the oracle system to prevent future disasters. The anger is real – these people lost money through no fault of their own, and Aave’s response feels pretty weak so far.

Other DeFi platforms are watching closely. A Compound representative said on March 13 they’re reviewing their own oracle dependencies to avoid similar problems. Smart move, considering how badly this hit Aave’s reputation. For more details, see Crypto PAC Dumps .6 Million Into.

Aave’s governance forum turned into a battleground over potential fixes. Community members want multi-source oracles and emergency protocols for when data feeds fail. But getting consensus takes time, and people are losing patience with the slow response.

Sarah Lin, an Aave community member, proposed using platform treasury funds to compensate victims on March 14. The proposal gained support from users who think Aave needs to make things right to keep people’s trust. Meanwhile, the development team started an internal audit to find the root cause, working with Chainlink to figure out what broke.

Chainlink confirmed on March 16 they’re helping Aave improve data feed reliability. They’re looking at adding verification layers and diversifying data sources – basically trying to prevent another $26 million mistake. But these fixes take months to implement properly.

The fallout spread across DeFi. MakerDAO announced on March 17 they’re reviewing all their oracle integrations to make sure they won’t face similar problems. Everyone’s suddenly worried about data integrity after seeing what happened to Aave.

CEO Stani Kulechov addressed the community on March 18 during a live stream, admitting the situation was serious and promising transparency going forward. He talked about strengthening infrastructure but didn’t give specifics about compensation or timelines. Users want action, not just words.

A new governance proposal emerged the same day, suggesting a dual-oracle system to cross-verify data before liquidations. The idea makes sense but sparked debate about implementation costs and complexity. Some developers want it fast-tracked, while others worry about rushing fixes. See also: Kazakhstan Invests 0 Million in Cryptos.

Affected users formed a coalition on March 19, led by crypto enthusiast Alex Tran. They’re pushing for formal acknowledgment of losses and structured compensation. Tran said they’re talking to legal advisors about possible legal action if Aave doesn’t respond appropriately.

Market reaction was swift and harsh. AAVE token dropped to $72 on March 20 as investors worried about the platform’s reliability. Trading volume spiked as people tried to figure out whether Aave could recover from this mess or if more problems were coming.

The oracle glitch exposed fundamental weaknesses in DeFi infrastructure that most users didn’t know existed. When core systems fail, there’s often no safety net – just sudden losses and vague promises to do better next time. Aave’s handling of this crisis will probably determine whether people still trust the platform or move their money elsewhere.

Community votes on proposed changes are still pending, and affected users keep waiting for concrete answers about compensation. The $26 million question remains whether Aave will actually make things right or just hope people forget about the whole disaster.

The incident sparked broader discussions about DeFi insurance protocols. Nexus Mutual, a decentralized insurance platform, saw a 340% spike in coverage applications for oracle failure risks in the week following Aave’s breakdown. Insurance providers like Cover Protocol also reported increased demand as users realized how exposed they were to technical failures.

Regulatory bodies took notice too. The European Securities and Markets Authority issued a statement on March 21 highlighting oracle reliability as a key concern for DeFi oversight. They’re considering new guidelines that would require platforms to maintain backup data sources and emergency shutdown procedures – regulations that could reshape how DeFi protocols operate across Europe.

Rising geopolitical tensions and stubborn inflation risks could turn bearish for bitcoin, with Wintermute warning that further Middle East escalation or a hawkish Federal Reserve pivot may pressure markets already on edge.

Bitcoin is drawing renewed attention after Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss transferred approximately $130 million worth of BTC to Gemini hot wallets over the past week. Movements of this scale from early holders often attract market scrutiny because transfers to exchange-linked wallets can indicate that coins are becoming available for potential sale.

Winkelvoss Twins Bitcoin Transfers | Source: Arkham The Winklevoss twins are well-known figures in the cryptocurrency industry and among the earliest high-profile investors in Bitcoin. The entrepreneurs, who founded the Gemini cryptocurrency exchange in 2014, have remained closely tied to the digital asset ecosystem through exchange infrastructure, custody services, and long-term Bitcoin exposure.

When large holders move coins to exchange wallets, traders typically monitor the activity closely because it can affect short-term supply dynamics. Exchange inflows increase the amount of Bitcoin readily available for trading, which in some cases precedes profit-taking or portfolio rebalancing.

However, such transfers do not necessarily guarantee immediate selling. Large investors often move assets between custodial wallets for operational reasons, liquidity management, or internal accounting purposes.

Early Bitcoin Holders Remain Profitable as Market Volatility Builds The recent transfer has also drawn attention to the scale of the Winklevoss twins’ long-term position in Bitcoin. Despite moving a portion of their holdings to Gemini wallets, the early investors still control approximately $764 million worth of BTC. Their overall profit from Bitcoin exposure is estimated at around $1.8 billion, reflecting the enormous appreciation the asset has experienced since its early adoption years.

Winkelvoss Capital Bitcoin Holdings | Source: Arkham Positions of this magnitude often carry symbolic weight in the market. Early holders such as the Winklevoss twins represent a cohort of investors who accumulated Bitcoin when the asset traded at a fraction of today’s prices. As a result, even relatively small portfolio adjustments can translate into large nominal transfers.

The timing of the movement also feeds speculation because Bitcoin currently trades in an environment marked by rising volatility and uncertain direction. Price action in recent weeks has produced sharp swings as traders attempt to gauge the next phase of the market cycle.

In this context, transactions involving early Bitcoin investors can influence sentiment. Some participants interpret exchange transfers as a potential signal of profit-taking, while others view them as routine liquidity management.

Ultimately, the significance of the move will depend on whether these coins enter the open market or remain part of longer-term strategic positioning.

Bitcoin Attempts Recovery After Sharp Correction Bitcoin currently trades near the $70,000 level after a sharp correction that unfolded earlier this year. The daily chart shows BTC recovering modestly following a rapid sell-off that pushed the asset from the $90,000 region down toward the $60,000–$65,000 range in February.

BTC consolidates around $70K | Source: BTCUSDT chart on TradingView This decline broke the market structure that had supported BTC during the second half of 2025. Price fell below its major moving averages, including the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day trends, which now act as overhead resistance. The downward slope of these indicators reflects the loss of bullish momentum and confirms that the market remains in a corrective phase.

The recent bounce toward $70,000 suggests buyers are attempting to stabilize the price after the capitulation wick near $60,000. That zone has emerged as an important short-term support area, where demand stepped in aggressively during the February sell-off.

However, Bitcoin still faces significant resistance above current levels. The 50-day moving average near the $75,000 area represents the first technical barrier. A sustained break above that level could allow the market to attempt a broader recovery toward the $85,000 region.

Until then, the chart suggests consolidation within a wider corrective structure. If BTC fails to hold the $65,000 support zone, the probability of another test of the recent lows could increase.

Solmate Infrastructure is sharpening its focus on building a Solana (SOL) hub in the United Arab Emirates, as the company moves to formally change its legal name and align its corporate structure with its digital asset strategy.

The company — currently operating under the legal entity Brera Holdings PLC and listed on Nasdaq under the ticker SLMT — announced Tuesday that its board approved a proposal to formally reposition the firm as an institutional-grade provider of Solana infrastructure with its primary operational base in Abu Dhabi. 

The announcement represents the latest chapter in a transformation that began last September, when the company — then still known primarily as a football ownership group — unveiled a sweeping rebrand to pursue a Solana-focused strategy.

As part of the shift announced Tuesday, Solmate plans to officially change its legal name to Solmate Infrastructure PLC and update its constitutional documents to reflect its focus on blockchain infrastructure and digital asset treasury activities.

The company also intends to streamline non-core assets, including winding down two underperforming soccer teams from its existing sports portfolio, while retaining its flagship Italian club Juve Stabia. Capital freed from those operations will be redirected toward expanding Solana infrastructure in the UAE, according to the statement.

Reverse stock split Meanwhile, the company proposed a 10-for-1 reverse stock split that would consolidate every 10 Class A and Class B shares into one share, increasing the nominal value from $0.05 to $0.5, with no fractional shares issued. The company's stock will continue trading on Nasdaq under the ticker SLMT, per the statement.

The proposed reverse stock split, subject to shareholder approval, is expected to take effect following a shareholder meeting scheduled for April 7, the company said.

"By focusing our capital and corporate identity on Solana, we are positioning ourselves to be a central player in the region's rapidly expanding digital economy," Solmate CEO Marco Santori said in the statement.

SLMT closed down 5.17% on Tuesday on the Nasdaq, bringing its decline over the past six months to 82.26%.

Solana push Tuesday's announcement builds on Solmate's earlier push into Solana-based treasury and infrastructure strategy. 

In September 2025, the company secured $300 million through an oversubscribed private investment in public equity to launch Solmate as a Solana-focused digital asset treasury and infrastructure firm. The placement was backed by the Solana Foundation, Cathie Wood's Ark Invest, RockawayX, and UAE-based Pulsar Group.

Under that strategy, Solmate aims to accumulate and stake SOL tokens while developing revenue streams tied to validator infrastructure and blockchain services. The company has also explored deploying specialized hardware and staking infrastructure in the UAE to provide regional investors with local access to Solana's yield-generating ecosystem. 

In November 2025, Solmate launched what it said was the first bare-metal Solana validator in the UAE, allowing partners and the public to stake SOL to earn rewards directly from its validator at 0% commission.

The path has not been entirely smooth. Last month, Solmate said it would not pursue its previously announced merger with RockawayX, citing dramatically changed market conditions, though the two companies said they would maintain their strategic partnership.

XRP price failed to stay above $1.40 and started a downside correction. The price is now holding the $1.3680 support and might aim for another increase.

XRP price started a downside correction and declined below $1.4250. The price is now trading above $1.3680 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $1.3890 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start another increase if it stays above $1.3680. XRP Price Dips Again XRP price failed to stay above $1.4350 and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price dipped below the $1.4250 and $1.4120 levels to enter a negative zone.

The price even dipped below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.3217 swing low to the $1.4432 high. Besides, there was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $1.3890 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The price is now trading above $1.3680 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $1.3980 level. The first major resistance is near the $1.40 level, above which the price could rise and test $1.4250.

Source: XRPUSD on TradingView.com A clear move above the $1.4250 resistance might send the price toward the $1.450 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.50 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $1.5250.

More Losses? If XRP fails to clear the $1.4250 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.3720 level. The next major support is near the $1.3680 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.3217 swing low to the $1.4432 high.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.3680 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.350. The next major support sits near the $1.3420 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.3320. Any more losses might call for a test of $1.320.

Worldcoin faces critical resistance. Analysts on March 11 zeroed in on the $0.435 price level, calling it make-or-break territory for the token that’s been bouncing around support zones after getting hammered in recent weeks.

The token clawed back from its recent lows, but traders aren’t exactly throwing confetti yet. WLD still can’t shake the bearish cloud hanging over it, and frankly, nobody’s sure if it’ll punch through that $0.435 wall or get smacked down again. The whole crypto market’s been pretty choppy lately, with Bitcoin and Ethereum setting the tone for everything else. When the big dogs move, smaller tokens like Worldcoin usually follow – sometimes kicking and screaming.

Technical charts don’t lie here.

Breaking above $0.435 could flip the script for WLD bulls. But that’s a big “if” considering how many times resistance levels have held firm across the crypto space this month. Trading volumes have been all over the place too, which makes things even murkier for anyone trying to time their moves.

Mark Thompson from CryptoInsights said March 8 that $0.435 acts like a “psychological barrier” for most traders. He thinks breaking it could trigger some serious FOMO buying, though he admits nobody really knows how the market will react. Thompson didn’t specify exactly what technical indicators he’s watching, but his track record with altcoin calls has been decent.

On-chain data tells an interesting story. CryptoQuant dropped a report March 9 showing whale accumulation patterns for WLD – basically, big holders are quietly stacking tokens. That usually means something’s brewing, though timing these moves is basically impossible.

The exchange situation looks solid enough. Coinbase listed Worldcoin recently, and trading volumes spiked March 10 when retail traders started piling in. Binance also expanded WLD trading pairs, giving people more ways to bet on the token’s direction. A Binance spokesperson wouldn’t comment on specific trading strategies their users are running. For more details, see MicroStrategy Drops .3 Billion on Bitcoin.

But here’s where things get wild.

March 7 saw a massive 1 million WLD token transfer – worth around $400,000 – hit an undisclosed exchange. Blockchain watchers caught the move, and it’s got everyone guessing whether some whale is preparing to dump or just repositioning for the next leg up. Nobody knows who moved those tokens or why.

Glassnode’s March 6 data showed more active WLD addresses popping up, which means more people are actually using their tokens instead of just holding them in cold storage. That’s usually bullish, but in crypto, “usually” doesn’t mean much. The uptick has been pretty modest anyway – nothing that screams massive adoption wave.

Crypto Twitter’s been buzzing too. Alex Saunders posted March 5 about watching WLD’s price action closely, telling his followers that clearing $0.435 could be a “game-changer.” His tweet got shared around pretty heavily, which probably added some fuel to the speculation fire. Social media hype can move these smaller cap tokens in weird ways.

Exchange liquidity looks decent across the board. Multiple platforms are offering WLD trading, so there’s no shortage of places to buy or sell. That’s crucial for short-term traders who need to get in and out fast. But liquidity doesn’t guarantee price stability – ask anyone who traded during the May 2022 crash. More on this topic: Tokenized Stock Market Surges Past B.

The regulatory backdrop stays murky. Worldcoin’s biometric data collection model has raised eyebrows in several countries, and any negative regulatory news could tank the token regardless of technical levels. Macro factors like inflation data and Fed policy also matter more than most crypto traders want to admit.

For now, it’s basically a waiting game. WLD needs to prove it can hold current support levels before anyone gets too excited about that $0.435 target. The next few trading sessions will probably tell the story – either the token breaks higher or it gets rejected again and heads back toward the lows.

Volume patterns suggest institutional players are positioning themselves, but retail sentiment stays pretty cautious. Can’t blame them after the beating most altcoins took earlier this year. Smart money usually moves first, but in crypto, sometimes the smart money gets it wrong too.

Worldcoin’s team hasn’t issued any official statements about the recent price action. They’re probably staying quiet until the market settles down. No point in making bold predictions when everything’s this volatile.

The token sits at a crossroads right now. Either it breaks out and validates the bulls’ thesis, or it fails again and confirms the bears were right all along. March could be make-or-break month for WLD holders who’ve been waiting for some kind of sustained rally.

XRP is trading around $1.40 after the market recorded modest upside following a volatile week that saw sharp intraday swings across several major cryptocurrencies. While price action has stabilized in the short term, on-chain data suggests that underlying market participation may be entering a quieter phase.

According to a CryptoQuant analyst, activity across centralized exchanges has dropped significantly in recent weeks. Data tracking XRP deposits and withdrawals across major trading platforms shows that transaction counts have fallen to the lowest levels recorded since the metric began tracking exchange behavior.

The indicator, known as the Multi Exchanges Daily Depositing and Withdrawing Transactions Delta, monitors the net number of XRP transfer transactions across 15 major cryptocurrency exchanges. Unlike traditional flow metrics that measure the volume of coins moving on and off exchanges, this dataset focuses on the number of transactions themselves.

XRP Multi Exchange Daily Depositing Withdrawing Transaction Delta | Source: CryptoQuant This distinction provides insight into user behavior rather than capital size. In practical terms, the metric reveals how many participants actively interact with exchanges by sending or withdrawing XRP.

The recent decline, therefore, suggests a slowdown in user-driven exchange activity. Such periods often emerge when markets transition between phases, as traders step back from short-term speculation while waiting for clearer price direction.

XRP Exchange Activity Signals Market Cooling Phase The report also explains how the deposit and withdrawal transaction metrics should be interpreted within a broader market context. Unlike volume-based indicators, this dataset focuses on the number of transactions occurring across exchanges, which helps reveal shifts in investor behavior rather than simply measuring capital flows.

When the metric rises sharply, it typically indicates that more users are sending XRP to exchanges than withdrawing it. In market terms, that behavior often precedes increased selling pressure, as traders move coins to trading platforms in preparation for potential liquidation.

The opposite dynamic emerges when the metric declines. Lower readings generally suggest that investors withdraw XRP from exchanges into private wallets. This behavior often aligns with accumulation phases, when participants move assets off trading platforms and reduce their intention to sell in the short term.

Recent data shows a pronounced decline in the number of XRP deposit and withdrawal transactions. In practical terms, fewer investors currently interact with exchanges using XRP, creating an unusually quiet market environment.

The broader context also matters. XRP has fallen more than 60% from its previous highs, a move that appears to have significantly reduced retail participation. The last major spike in exchange deposits occurred in January 2025 when XRP approached the $3 level. Binance remains the primary exchange driving transaction activity.

XRP Struggles to Reclaim Key Resistance as Downtrend Persists XRP continues to trade near the $1.40 level after a prolonged correction that has defined its price structure since late 2025. The daily chart shows the asset attempting to stabilize following a sharp sell-off that pushed prices from above $2.30 down toward the $1.20–$1.30 range earlier this year.

XRP consolidates in a range | Source: XRPUSDT chart on TradingView The broader technical structure remains bearish. XRP has consistently traded below its major moving averages, including the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day trends, all of which now slope downward. This alignment typically reflects sustained selling pressure and a lack of strong bullish momentum.

Recent price action suggests that the $1.30–$1.35 zone is currently acting as short-term support. Buyers stepped in after the February capitulation wick that briefly pushed XRP near the $1.20 area, triggering a rebound that brought the asset back toward the $1.40 region.

However, upside attempts remain limited. The declining 50-day moving average near $1.60 now represents the first meaningful resistance level. A recovery above that zone would signal improving momentum and could allow XRP to test the $1.80–$2.00 range.

TL;DR:

Transaction Leadership: BNB Chain processes 40% of global stablecoin transactions, despite custodying only 5% of the total supply of these assets. Retail Growth: The volume of retail transfers under $10,000 grew from 316 million to 3.2 billion in 2025, driven by emerging markets. User Dominance: With an average fee of $0.05, the network surpassed competitors like Tron and Solana in active users, reaching 15.1 million unique senders. BNB Chain has solidified its position as the leading network for stablecoin transactions by count, outpacing giants such as Ethereum, Tron, and Solana. Recent data reveals that the network handles approximately 40% of global traffic for these assets, positioning itself as the preferred infrastructure for payments and remittances in emerging economies.

This dominance is built on faster transaction speeds and minimal costs. While Ethereum continues to dominate in Total Value Locked (TVL), BNB Chain stands out for its daily utility, recording peaks of $21.7 billion in transfers in a single day during its 2025 high.

Emerging Markets and Mass Adoption In this case, “everyday users” are the key to success. At least 82% of operations on BNB Chain are under $1,000, underscoring its role as a parallel currency in regions with high exchange rate volatility. In February, the network reached 15.1 million unique senders, leaving behind Tron’s 8.8 million.

From a market sentiment perspective, the network has shown remarkable technical resilience following its recent upgrades. DeFi protocols such as PancakeSwap and Venus facilitated this massive flow, allowing the stablecoin market capitalization on the network to rise to $14 billion.

In summary, the market expects BNB Chain to maintain its competitive advantage if gas fees on competing Layer 1 networks remain high. Traders will be closely watching whether this transactional volume translates into greater organic demand for the network’s native ecosystem.

Ether’s funding rate went negative. The shift happened March 9, 2026, and it’s got traders pretty worried about what comes next. Negative funding rates usually mean sellers are pushing harder than buyers.

The derivatives market shows bearish sentiment spreading fast across trading desks. Ether’s price sits around $1,500, way down from the $4,000 peak back in 2021. Network activity keeps dropping, with fewer daily transactions getting processed. Developers know there’s a problem. They’re scrambling to fix things, but the timeline isn’t clear yet. Market participants are staying cautious while they wait for concrete solutions.

The numbers don’t lie.

Trading volumes on major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase fell about 20% this past week, per CoinMarketCap data. Daily transaction fees dropped to $2.50 from $4.00 earlier this year. That’s good for users but bad for miners who need those fees to stay profitable. And institutional investors? They’re pulling back too. Glassnode’s latest report shows institutional inflows into Ether dropped 15% over the past month.

Vitalik Buterin spoke at a developer conference March 8, trying to calm nerves. He said protocol upgrades are coming to boost transaction throughput. But he also warned these changes take time to implement and won’t provide immediate relief. The market didn’t seem impressed with his timeline.

Not really encouraging news there.

The Ethereum Foundation announced March 5 they want more collaboration with other blockchain projects to speed up solutions. They’re basically admitting they can’t solve scalability issues alone. The Shanghai upgrade is supposed to help with costs and speed, but there’s no firm release date. Uncertainty keeps growing among investors who want clear answers, not vague promises.

DeFi projects built on Ethereum are feeling the squeeze too. Total value locked fell to $35 billion, down 10% since January. That’s a pretty big chunk of money moving elsewhere. Some traders think this reflects broader crypto market uncertainty, but others see it as Ethereum-specific problems. See also: MicroStrategy Drops .3 Billion on Bitcoin.

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao tried to spin things positively March 6. He said current conditions give Ethereum a chance to fix longstanding scalability problems. CZ thinks the long-term potential stays intact if core challenges get tackled properly. But short-term sentiment remains bearish across most trading desks.

Michael Sonnenshein from Grayscale Investments also tried boosting confidence March 4. He emphasized that underlying technology and community support remain strong despite challenging market conditions. The CEO’s optimism hasn’t swayed the bearish sentiment dominating trading floors yet.

There’s talk of an Arbitrum partnership too. The Ethereum Foundation revealed March 7 they’re considering working with the Layer 2 solution provider to integrate rollup technology. That could increase transaction throughput significantly, but discussions are still preliminary. No official agreement exists yet, so it’s basically just talk at this point.

Miners are getting squeezed from multiple angles. Lower transaction fees mean less revenue while they still need to secure the network. Some are probably wondering if it’s worth staying in the game if profitability keeps dropping. The economics are getting pretty murky for smaller mining operations.

The SEC scheduled a March 15 meeting to discuss blockchain technology’s role in financial markets. It’s not directly about Ethereum, but regulatory discussions could influence investor confidence across the entire crypto sector. Nobody knows what they’ll decide or how it might affect trading.

Ethereum developers are pushing hard for upgrades that could improve usability and counter negative sentiment. They want to attract more users with faster transactions and flexible wallet fees. But market participants remain cautious about whether these changes will actually work. The community is looking for clear direction, not more promises.

Reached for comment, Ethereum’s core team didn’t respond immediately. They’re apparently focused on upcoming improvements rather than addressing current market concerns. Traders are staying alert for any announcements that might signal real progress on scalability issues.

For now, the negative funding rate stands as a clear signal of bearish pressure. Ethereum’s developers have various plans underway, but the timeline for meaningful changes remains unclear. The next few weeks will probably be crucial in determining whether confidence can get restored or if selling pressure continues building.

The average Ethereum transaction now costs $2.50, creating a complex economic environment for network participants. While users benefit from lower fees, the reduced revenue stream affects miners’ willingness to secure the network long-term.

The broader cryptocurrency market context makes Ethereum’s struggles more concerning. Bitcoin has maintained relative stability around $45,000 during the same period, suggesting Ethereum’s decline isn’t just following general crypto market trends. Solana and Polygon have actually gained ground, with their respective tokens up 8% and 12% over the past month as developers migrate projects seeking lower costs and faster speeds. These competing blockchains are capitalizing on Ethereum’s scalability issues by offering immediate solutions rather than promises.

Major financial institutions are also reassessing their Ethereum exposure. JPMorgan’s blockchain division reduced its Ethereum-based pilot programs by 30% in February, citing network congestion concerns. Goldman Sachs postponed launching its planned Ethereum custody service indefinitely. Meanwhile, venture capital funding for Ethereum-based projects dropped 40% in the first quarter compared to the same period last year, according to PitchBook data. The institutional retreat creates additional selling pressure as large holders reduce positions ahead of potential further declines.

Breaking Signal·Market Impact: Low

Pi Network surged 9.35% to $0.2330, topping the gainers chart, according to CoinGecko data. Monero, Mantle, NEAR Protocol and Sky also finished in the green over 24 hours, while Filecoin’s 8.36% slide to $0.8620 led decliners alongside Midnight, Kite, MemeCore and Internet Computer.

Top Gainers Pi Network (PI) rose 9.35% to $0.2330 with a market cap of $2.25B. The mobile-first project launched with an enclosed network design and app-based “mining.” Price references have historically varied across venues, which can amplify swings. Its large-cap stature kept it squarely on traders’ radars through the session.

Monero (XMR) added 4.75% to $358.80, bringing its market cap to $6.62B. The privacy-focused, proof-of-work coin features default stealth addresses and RingCT, aiming for fungible, untraceable payments. No specific news has been tied to the move. XMR’s historically resilient community and liquidity profile often translate into outsized day-to-day moves.

Mantle (MNT) climbed 3.84% to $0.6978, valuing the token at $2.29B. Mantle is an Ethereum Layer-2 built around a modular stack that separates execution from data availability, with MNT anchoring governance for the BitDAO-originated ecosystem treasury. The advance adds to a run of sessions where L2 narratives have maintained mindshare among traders.

NEAR Protocol (NEAR) rose 3.76% to $1.28, with a market cap of $1.66B. NEAR is a sharded Layer-1 employing the Nightshade approach and human-readable accounts, and it has emphasized chain abstraction tooling for developers. Traders pointed to broader altcoin rotation for the day’s strength. Liquidity concentrated in larger venues helped the move stick into the close.

Sky (SKY) gained 3.43% to $0.0789, placing its market cap at $1.82B. The token is tracked as a large-cap asset on major data aggregators. Its price history has shown wide swings, a pattern common among higher-beta altcoins. Today’s advance kept it in the green column alongside other mid-to-large caps.

Top Losers Filecoin (FIL) fell 8.36% to $0.8620, with a market cap of $655.44M. Filecoin is a decentralized storage network that pays providers to store and serve user data, and the Filecoin Virtual Machine expanded programmability for on-chain storage markets. The pullback arrived without an obvious headline driver. Storage-linked tokens can trade in bursts as demand and collateral cycles shift.

Midnight (NIGHT) slipped 6.23% to $0.0526, valuing the token at $873.73M. Midnight is a privacy-oriented network associated with the Cardano ecosystem that targets data protection use cases. No headline catalyst emerged during the session. The decline placed NIGHT among the day’s larger-cap laggards.

Kite (KITE) declined 5.65% to $0.2774, giving it a $499.47M market cap. KITE trades in the mid-cap bracket and can exhibit sizable intraday ranges relative to order book depth. Drivers were unclear as sellers leaned on the pair. Moves of this scale are not unusual when liquidity gaps widen.

MemeCore (M) dropped 4.26% to $1.43, with a $2.49B market cap. The project brands itself around internet culture themes rather than on-chain cash flows. The session did not feature a clear catalyst. Sizeable capitalization leaves M as a frequent proxy for swings across higher-beta tokens.

Internet Computer (ICP) eased 3.12% to $2.40, for a $1.32B market cap. The DFINITY-backed Layer-1 aims to host apps and content directly on-chain via WebAssembly smart contracts. No material updates were tied to the move. ICP often sees mean-reversion sessions as liquidity rotates among Layer-1s.

Market Outlook The top gainer rose 9.35% while the biggest loser shed 8.36%, reflecting elevated dispersion across majors and mid-caps. Privacy, L2, and general-purpose Layer-1 names populated the gainers, while storage and meme-branded tokens led declines. Market caps among movers spanned $499.47M to $6.62B, emphasizing mixed risk appetite within a narrow 24-hour window.

Into the next sessions, watch Bitcoin’s range and spot liquidity, any exchange listing headlines, and protocol road map checkpoints that can redirect flows. Macro prints, including U.S. inflation releases, also warrant attention for their potential to nudge risk tolerance across alt buckets.
