Gold has returned 73% over the past year and 18% year-to-date through February 20, 2026, outpacing most traditional asset classes. For investors asking whether they need dedicated gold exposure, Goldman Sachs Physical Gold ETF (NYSEARCA:AAAU) offers one of the most cost-efficient ways to get it.

What AAAU Is Built to Do AAAU holds physical gold bullion custodied at the Royal Canadian Mint, meaning each share represents a fractional claim on actual metal. There are no derivatives, no leverage, and no options overlay. The fund’s return engine is straightforward: when gold prices rise, so does the share price. When gold falls, so does the share price. This simplicity is the point. AAAU is designed to give investors direct gold price exposure at a low cost, making it a tool for portfolio diversification, inflation hedging, and safe-haven positioning rather than income generation.

Does It Deliver? The numbers confirm AAAU tracks gold faithfully. Over the past year, AAAU returned 73.1%, essentially matching SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEARCA:GLD)’s 72.9% over the same period. The marginal difference is largely explained by AAAU’s 0.18% expense ratio, which is meaningfully lower than GLD’s 0.40%, giving AAAU a structural cost advantage over the long run for buy-and-hold investors.

The interest rate environment has shifted meaningfully in gold’s favor. The Federal Reserve has cut rates over the past year, and the 10-year Treasury yield has retreated from its 2025 highs to sit around 4.08% as of February 19. When real yields fall, the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold declines — historically one of the strongest tailwinds for gold prices, and a key reason AAAU’s returns have been so strong in this cycle.

The Tradeoffs AAAU pays no dividend and generates no income. Investors who need yield from every portfolio position will find it a poor fit. Gold also carries no earnings growth or cash flow, meaning its price is driven entirely by sentiment, monetary conditions, and demand dynamics rather than fundamental business value.

Tax treatment is also worth understanding. The IRS classifies physical gold ETFs as collectibles, which means long-term capital gains are taxed at a maximum rate of 28% rather than the standard 20% rate applied to most equity ETFs. For taxable accounts, this is a meaningful cost that can erode after-tax returns versus holding an equivalent equity position.

Gold has historically served as a portfolio diversifier and inflation hedge. Investors should consult a financial advisor to determine whether gold exposure fits their individual circumstances.

The spillover from a ransomware attack on one of the largest government contractors in the United States keeps getting bigger: more than 25 million people have now had personal data stolen in the hack.

Conduent provides printing, mailroom services, and document and payment processing services for state government benefit operations, such as food assistance, as well as workplace and unemployment benefits for large corporations. As such, the company handles a large amount of personal information belonging to a large swath of the United States. Conduent says its technology and operational support services reach more than 100 million people.

But since the January 2025 cyberattack attack, which a ransomware group claimed credit for, the corporate giant has said little about the data breach, such as how it was caused and how many people are affected.

An update to the state of Wisconsin’s data breach notification page now shows the Conduent breach affects at least 25 million people across the United States.

TechCrunch’s ongoing tally from various data breach notification letters that we have seen also amounts to about 25 million people, with Oregon (10.5 million) and Texas (15.4 million) accounting for the majority of those affected. Other data breach notices seen by TechCrunch include another few hundred thousand individuals across Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Washington.

The breach is known to have compromised individuals’ names, dates of birth, addresses, Social Security numbers, health insurance information, and medical data.

Conduent has said little outside of its data breach notifications, and in some cases has made it more difficult for affected individuals to learn about the breach.

Techcrunch event

Boston, MA | June 9, 2026

A page on Conduent’s website, titled “Incident Notice” that was published in October 2025 at the same time as its first data breach notification, does not explicitly mention a cybersecurity incident. The page contains a hidden “noindex” tag in its source code, which tells search engines to not list the page in search results, making it difficult for anyone searching the web to find it.

When reached by TechCrunch, Conduent spokesperson Sean Collins would not say how many notifications the company has sent to date, or why the company is hiding its incident notice from search engines.

Conduent’s breach has been billed as one of the “largest ever,” but likely trails behind the Change Healthcare hack, which affected more than 190 million people following a ransomware attack in February 2024. A Russian-speaking ransomware gang stole reams of health and medical data from Change Healthcare using a stolen credential that wasn’t protected with multi-factor authentication, prompting the healthcare tech giant to pay at least two ransoms to keep most of the stolen data off the internet.

It's been a tough start to the year for technology investors. Shares of seven of the eight trillion-dollar tech companies have notched losses so far.

The lone exception is Nvidia. The chipmaker's stock is up 2.7% in 2026 as of Monday's close, while the Nasdaq has dropped more than 2.5%. Microsoft, Amazon and Tesla have all seen double-digit declines.

Heading into Nvidia's quarterly earnings report Wednesday, Wall Street has a pretty clear idea of where the company stands. That's because its biggest customers announced results a few weeks ago and told investors that their mammoth spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure is only going to increase.

"Hyperscale capex forecasts for CY2026 have exceeded prior expectations," analysts at Wedbush Securities wrote in a Monday note previewing Nvidia's earnings. "With servers and AI infrastructure representing the bulk of forward spend, we expect growth in AI investment will somewhat exceed overall capex trends."

Like over 90% of firms tracked by FactSet, Wedbush analysts recommend buying Nvidia shares. They have a $230 price target on the stock, which is 20% above Monday's close.

As tech giants build massive new data centers to meet soaring demand, they're packing those facilities with Nvidia's latest and greatest products.

Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon are expected to spend nearly $700 billion combined this year to fuel their AI expansion, according to their latest forecasts and analyst estimates. The four hyperscalers are projected to increase capital expenditures by more than 60% from the historic levels reached in 2025.

While all that spending is unquestionably positive for Nvidia, there are plenty of skeptics who fear that the tech industry is overbuilding, and that any slowdown or softness will have an outsized effect on the dominant chipmaker.

"The story is so unbelievably simple, yet at the same time quite complex today," wrote analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald in a report last week. The analysts, who have an outperform rating on the stock, said that despite "insatiable" demand for computing power and an "extremely positive" setup for Nvidia results, "investor concerns remain, headlined by fears of peaking hyperscale" capex this year.

watch now

Analysts on average expect Nvidia to report a 68% revenue jump to $66 billion for the fiscal fourth quarter, according to LSEG. For the April quarter, they see year-over-year growth of 63% to $72 billion.

Excitement is building for the upcoming release of Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin rack-scale systems later this year. CEO Jensen Huang said in October that 6 million Blackwell GPUs had been shipped in the past four quarters, and that Nvidia expects $500 billion in GPU sales between the Blackwell generation and the forthcoming Rubin chips.

Investors will be listening closely for commentary surrounding the rollout of Vera Rubin systems as they look to gauge demand for the rest of 2026 and beyond.

Another key topic for Huang and management to address is Groq.

Wednesday's earnings call will be the first since Nvidia purchased assets from the chip startup in late December for about $20 billion. With the deal, Groq founder and CEO Jonathan Ross along with Sunny Madra, the company's president, and other senior leaders joined Nvidia.

Groq's specialty is on the inference side of the market, which refers to the use of AI to make decisions based on new information. Nvidia dominates the training piece of the market, which involves teaching AI models to learn from patterns in large amounts of data. Analysts will be looking for clarity on the impact of the deal on Nvidia's balance sheet and its strategic plans for using the technology to compete with makers of custom ASICs, or application-specific integrated circuits.

"We are looking for any hints or specifics around products we should expect from Jonathan's team and how this acquisition will augment NVDA's accelerator business," the Wedbush analysts wrote. "With concerns around increased competition from ASIC solutions, in our view, being one of the greatest drags on NVDA's performance, we believe a strong Groq related roadmap could meaningfully allay investor concerns."

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shareholder protection firm Kaskela Law announces that it is investigating potential breach of fiduciary duty claims concerning WEBTOON Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ: WBTN) on behalf of the company’s long-term shareholders.

Click here to request additional information: https://kaskelalaw.com/case/webtoon/

Recently a securities fraud complaint was filed against WEBTOON on behalf of certain investors who purchased shares of the company’s stock prior to August 9, 2024.

On or around June 28 2024, WEBTOON completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock, selling 15 million shares of stock to investors at a price of $21.00 per share, for proceeds of approximately $315 million.

According to the complaint, on August 8, 2024, WEBTOON reported disappointing quarterly financial and operational results for the reporting quarter ended June 30, 2024 – the quarter that closed just one business day after the IPO. Among other things, that quarterly report disclosed “bleak revenue growth and substantial declines” in Monthly Active Users (“MAUs”) for the relevant quarter. Following this quarterly report, shares of WEBTOON’s stock fell $7.88 per share, or over 38% in value, to close on August 9, 2024 at $12.75 per share, on unusually heavy trading volume.

The investigation seeks to determine whether the members of WEBTOON’s board of directors violated the securities laws and/or breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the above alleged misconduct.

Allstate reports identity theft cases increased 50% over the past two tax seasons, with adults in their 20s reporting more cases than other generations. Allstate Identity Protection plans safeguard customers' personal information with around-the-clock monitoring to detect fraud and restore identities as identity theft risks rise. Allstate's industry-first stolen tax refund advance gives customers access to their expected refund money if someone files a fraudulent return and claims it first. , /PRNewswire/ -- Allstate helps safeguard customers' identities with continuous monitoring, fraud detection and identity restoration. With tax season bringing heightened risk, the Allstate Identity Protection Blue Plan includes a first‑of‑its‑kind stolen tax refund advance to help customers access their expected refund if fraud strikes.

Allstate helps safeguard customers’ identities with continuous monitoring, fraud detection and identity restoration. "Allstate protects customers' identities every day with 24/7 monitoring to quickly detect fraud and hands-on support the moment you open a case," said Caroline Slane, senior vice president of business operations at Allstate Identity Protection. "During tax season, that protection extends to stolen refunds. We help customers access their money while we support them through recovery."

What identity threats should taxpayers watch for in 2026?
Identity theft thrives during tax season because more personal data circulates following the busy holiday shopping season. The rise in AI makes scams more convincing and scalable.

Allstate claims data from the 2025 tax season shows significant year-over-year increases in multiple types of identity theft compared with the 2024 tax season:1

Total identity theft cases: up 50% New credit account identity theft: up 45% Fraudulent applications for loans, credit cards or other financial products: up 65% Federal Trade Commission data shows adults in their 20s report five times more identity theft incidents than adults in their 70s.2

How can taxpayers protect their identity?
Allstate recommends people take these steps to protect their identity during tax season:

Avoid filing taxes on public Wi-Fi or using someone else's device Stay aware of phishing texts, suspicious DMs and social media scams Use reputable tax-filing software File taxes early before fraudsters even have the chance to file in their name What does Allstate Identity Protection include?
Allstate Identity Protection plans offer full-service identity restoration and tools to help members safeguard their personal information and detect fraud. Members receive monitoring, alerts and hands-on support from restoration specialists along with seasonal guidance to avoid tax-related scams. Consumers can enroll directly in individual or family plans at allstateidentityprotection.com or through employer benefit programs.

How does Allstate's stolen tax refund advance work?
Many taxpayers rely on their refund to manage expenses or pay down debt. The IRS expects larger refunds for many filers this year, increasing the impact when fraud occurs. The stolen tax refund advance is exclusive to Allstate and gives eligible customers their expected refund amount upfront, typically delivered within a few business days of filing a claim. The expected refund amount is calculated using tax-filing information the customer provides and verified identity protection data. Customers pay back Allstate over time with no interest.

How can consumers enroll in Allstate Identity Protection?
With more threats rising at once, consumers need protection on every front. Consumers can enroll directly in the Allstate Identity Protection Blue Plan or check if they already have access through one of Allstate's employer-provided plans, which covers more than 1.4 million employees and their families. Consumer plans start at $19 per month, coverage begins immediately, and first‑time customers receive the first 30 days free.

ROCKVILLE, Md., Feb. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MaxCyte, Inc., (NASDAQ: MXCT), a leading, cell-engineering focused company providing enabling platform technologies to advance the discovery, development and commercialization of next-generation cell therapeutics, today announced the launch of ExPERT DTx™, a new high throughput transfection platform for research and drug discovery applications. This modular, 96-well electroporation system enables labs to transfect primary cells and cell lines with minimal cellular stress, helping researchers to uncover valuable insights and better understand fundamental biological processes before scaling up to larger transfection volumes.

ExPERT DTx streamlines workflows by processing up to 96 samples in a single, three-minute run. The platform’s R-50x96™ well processing assembly provides one of the most cost-effective solutions for 96-well electroporation on the market, allowing 12 detachable 8-well strips to be processed in parallel with unique parameters for different cell and cargo combinations. This ensures consistent well-to-well performance that effectively eliminates transfection as an experimental variable, while maximizing flexibility and reducing laboratory waste. It has been validated in a range of applications – from cell and gene therapy development to protein production – and enables the transfer of optimized processes to other ExPERT instruments, simplifying scale-up from discovery into cGMP-compliant manufacturing without the need to reoptimize workflows.

One of the defining features of the platform is its efficient and user-friendly software package. The DTx Software controls and monitors the instrument, while the DTx Designer software introduces a distinct advantage over current options on the market, enabling users to design their experiments remotely, then upload the workflow when the system is available for use. This maximizes uptime, and is especially beneficial to labs running multiple, back-to-back experiments.

“We’re extremely excited about the launch of the ExPERT DTx, which builds on the company’s established portfolio of best-in-class electroporation technologies,” said Maher Masoud, Chief Executive Officer of MaxCyte. “This cutting-edge platform provides researchers with deep insights into their experiments, helping them investigate the underlying biology of a cellular system before scaling up operations with confidence. We’ve developed this product around our customers’ needs, giving them the flexibility needed for research while delivering reproducible results with high cell viability at an affordable price.”

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 24, 2026) - American Tungsten Corp. (CSE: TUNG) (OTCQB: TUNGF) (FSE: RK90) ("American Tungsten" or the "Company") is pleased to report additional tungsten-silver assay results from its on-going underground drilling program at the IMA Mine, Lemhi County, Idaho. Drilling to date has expanded the extent of the No. 5 - No.7 vein system over 300 feet up-dip of the D-level and over 350 feet along strike.

Drill Result Highlights:

14.2 ft grading 0.67% WO3 and 1.15 oz/t Ag in hole AT25-06; and17 ft grading 1.28% WO3 and 3.53 oz/t Ag in hole AT25-07"These results continue to demonstrate that the IMA Mine hosts a robust and laterally extensive tungsten-silver system," said Ali Haji, CEO of American Tungsten Corp. "The consistency of mineralization we are defining strengthens our confidence in the project's scale and supports our path toward a modern resource and the potential restart of mining operations. With each hole, the opportunity at IMA becomes clearer."

Drillholes AT26-06 and AT26-07 were drilled to expand limits of mineralization up-dip from drillhole AT25-01, as reported February 10, 2026. Both drillholes intersected the No. 5 and No. 7 veins, which have now been delineated over 300 feet up-dip from the D-level. Drillhole AT26-07 intersected the No 7 vein from 273-298 ft, but assay results for this interval of hole have not yet been received.

Drillhole AT26-05 was drilled south-southwest oblique to the vein strike direction and intersected multiple broad zones of sheeted quartz veining containing hubnerite-tetrahedrite mineralization including 20.6 ft grading 0.25% WO3 and 11 ft grading 0.23% WO3. These intercepts establish continuity of mineralization over 350 south of intercepts in AT25-01. Additional drilling from locations 400 ft to the north is designed to further test the vein system up-dip and along strike.

New drillhole results are reported in Table 1 below, and assays for additional completed drillholes are pending.

About the IMA Mine

The IMA Mine is a past producing underground tungsten mine situated on 22 patented claims located in East Central Idaho. Between 1945 and 1957, the property produced approximately 199,449 MTUs of WO3 and was subsequently explored for molybdenum and tungsten by various operators between 1960-2010. American Tungsten Corp is currently conducting an exploration drill program and assessing potential for re-start of underground tungsten mining operations at the IMA Mine.

Sampling Methodology

Drillholes were completed using a Hagby 1000 drill rig with NQ sized rods. Drill core was transferred to American Tungsten geologists under chain of custody and stored in a secure facility. Drill core was logged for lithology, alteration, mineralization, and structure prior to sampling. Sample number tags were affixed to core boxes and core marked for sawing. Core was sawn in half, with one half submitted for analysis and the remaining half retained for reference. Samples were collected at approximate 5 foot intervals in wall rock and shorter intervals within vein mineralization, with sample lengths adjusted to geological boundaries where appropriate. Samples were submitted for assay to ALS Global in Twin Falls, Idaho.

QA/QC and Sample Analysis

American Tungsten Corp's Quality Assurance and Quality Control QA/QC program applies industry standard best practices to ensure data quality and integrity for the IMA Mine project, including maintaining chain of custody, secure sample transport and storage, adherence to data collection protocols and inclusion of certified reference, blank and duplicate quality assurance samples in laboratory submissions.

Samples were submitted to ALS Global laboratory in Twin Falls, Idaho, for preparation. Samples were crushed to 70% passing 2 mm screen, rotary splitting 250g and pulverized to 85% passing a 75 μm screen. Samples were analyzed by ALS Minerals in the Vancouver, BC, Canada. Samples were analyzed by four acid digest with ICP-MS finish. Samples exceeding 200 ppm W were analyzed by XRF with lithium borate fusion preparation. Samples exceeding 50ppm Ag were analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish.

Avalanche (AVAX) trades at $8.30 with RSI at 31.98 signaling oversold conditions. Technical analysis suggests potential 44-80% upside to $12-15 range within 4-6 weeks if key resistance breaks.

Avalanche (AVAX) is showing signs of a potential bottom formation at current levels around $8.30, with multiple technical indicators suggesting the cryptocurrency may be positioning for a significant recovery rally in the coming weeks.

AVAX Price Prediction Summary • Short-term target (1 week): $9.00-9.60
• Medium-term forecast (1 month): $12-15 range
• Bullish breakout level: $9.00 • Critical support: $7.86

What Crypto Analysts Are Saying About Avalanche Recent analyst coverage has been cautiously optimistic about Avalanche's prospects. Felix Pinkston noted on February 21, 2026: "Avalanche (AVAX) shows neutral RSI at 40.45 with analysts targeting $12-15 range within 4-6 weeks. Current price $9.17 faces key resistance at $9.60."

Zach Anderson provided additional insight on February 20, 2026, stating: "Avalanche (AVAX) shows signs of bottoming at $8.92 with neutral RSI. Technical analysis suggests potential 30-60% upside to $12-15 range within 4-6 weeks if key resistance breaks."

AInvest News analysis from February 20, 2026, reinforced this sentiment: "Avalanche (AVAX) is trading near $8.90–$9.26 with technical indicators suggesting potential for a recovery to $12–$15 if key resistance levels are breached."

AVAX Technical Analysis Breakdown The current technical setup for Avalanche presents a mixed but increasingly constructive picture. Trading at $8.30, AVAX sits just above the lower Bollinger Band at $8.28, indicating the cryptocurrency is testing significant support levels.

The RSI reading of 31.98 places Avalanche in neutral territory, though closer to oversold conditions, which historically has provided buying opportunities for the cryptocurrency. The MACD histogram at -0.0000 shows bearish momentum is flatlening, potentially signaling an imminent trend reversal.

Key moving averages paint a clear picture of the current downtrend, with AVAX trading well below its 7-day SMA ($8.80), 20-day SMA ($8.96), and significantly below longer-term averages. The 50-day SMA at $11.06 represents the first major technical target for any sustained recovery.

The Stochastic oscillator readings (%K at 5.84 and %D at 4.68) indicate severely oversold conditions, suggesting limited downside potential from current levels.

Avalanche Price Targets: Bull vs Bear Case Bullish Scenario The bull case for this AVAX price prediction hinges on a decisive break above the immediate resistance at $8.65, followed by a move through the critical $9.00 level. If Avalanche can reclaim the 20-day SMA at $8.96, it would signal the beginning of a potential recovery rally toward the $12-15 target range identified by multiple analysts.

Technical confirmation would come from RSI moving above 50 and MACD generating a bullish crossover. The 24-hour trading volume of $20.1 million provides adequate liquidity for such a move, though increased volume would strengthen the bullish case.

Bearish Scenario The bear case scenario sees AVAX failing to hold current support levels around $8.08. A breakdown below this level could trigger a move toward the strong support at $7.86. Any sustained trading below $7.86 would invalidate the near-term bullish outlook and potentially target lower levels around $7.00-7.50.

Risk factors include broader cryptocurrency market weakness and potential selling pressure from long-term holders looking to reduce positions after the significant decline from higher levels.

Should You Buy AVAX? Entry Strategy Based on current technical analysis, the most attractive entry point for this Avalanche forecast would be on any pullback toward the $8.08-8.20 support zone, with a stop-loss positioned below $7.80 to limit downside risk.

Aggressive traders might consider entering at current levels around $8.30, using the lower Bollinger Band as dynamic support. However, waiting for confirmation above $8.65 would provide greater confidence in the reversal thesis.

Position sizing should account for the high volatility, with the daily ATR of $0.43 suggesting significant intraday price swings. Risk management becomes crucial given the 4.16% decline in the past 24 hours.

Conclusion This AVAX price prediction suggests Avalanche is approaching a critical inflection point. While currently trading near technical support levels, the combination of oversold RSI conditions, analyst targets in the $12-15 range, and potential for momentum reversal creates a cautiously optimistic outlook for the next 4-6 weeks.

The path to the $12-15 target range represents potential gains of 44-80% from current levels, making Avalanche an intriguing consideration for traders willing to accept the inherent volatility risks. However, failure to hold support at $7.86 would significantly alter this forecast.

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) are all in the red as the cryptocurrency market continues its losing streak.

HBAR, the native coin of the Hedera ecosystem, also extended its losses and now trades below $0.10, down by nearly 4% since Monday.

Weakening on-chain and derivatives data support a bearish outlook alongside an unfavourable technical outlook.

On-chain and derivatives data support bearish biasHBAR has lost the $0.103 support level and is now trading at $0.09313, down by nearly 4% in the last 24 hours.

The bearish performance comes amid bearish derivatives data and negative sentiment in the market.

Santiment’s Social Dominance metric for Hedera currently shows a bearish bias.

The metric measures the share of HBAR-related discussions across the cryptocurrency media. 

This index has been on a decline since the end of December, falling again in February to 0.018% on Tuesday.

The decline indicates fading market interest and weakening sentiment among HBAR investors. 

The derivatives side also shows that retail traders are extremely bearish regarding HBAR’s price action.

CoinGlass data shows that HBAR’s futures Open Interest (OI) has declined to $90.18 million on Tuesday. 

The OI has been steadily declining since early January and is now approaching the February 6 level of $88.89 million.

This drop in OI reflects declining investor participation and projects a bearish outlook.

Hedera Price Forecast: Will HBAR retest the $0.08665 support level?Similar to the other leading cryptocurrencies, the HBAR/USD 4-hour chart is extremely bearish at the moment.

HBAR’s price was rejected around the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.103 ten days ago and has lost 10% of its value since then. 

Its 50-day EMA level roughly coincides with the upper trendline of a falling wedge pattern, making it a key resistance zone.

At press time, HBAR is trading at $0.093.

If the market correction persists, HBAR could extend the decline toward the weekly support at $0.090. 

Failure to defend this weekly support level will allow the bears to extend the losses toward the next daily support level at $0.072, which aligns with the October 10 low.

The market could encounter slight resistance at the February 6 low of $0.08665.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart is at 37, below the neutral level of 50 and approaching the oversold region, indicating bearish momentum gaining traction.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) lines are diverging, indicating bearish bias among traders.

If the MACD remains bearish, HBAR’s price could dip lower in the near term. 

On the other hand, if HBAR recovers, the coin could extend the advance toward the 50-day EMA at $0.103.

The recent swing high of $0.1079 could also serve as a target for the bulls.

Satlantis has also amalgamated with Stripe to operate fiat payments and has said it plans to add stablecoin support. The Sacramento Kings was the first NBA team to accept Bitcoin for tickets and merchandise back in 2014.  Satlantis has rolled out an events and ticketing platform that implants Bitcoin Lightning Network wallets right into user accounts and individual events. This allows organisers to issue tickets and accumulate Bitcoin payments without tracking traditional payment processors. 

The platform works likewise to services such as Eventbrite and Luma, providing ticket tiers, attendee management, and event pages. Every event on the platform usually gets a unique Bitcoin wallet, permitting organisers to accept payments and extract funds directly in Bitcoin. 

Satlantis has also amalgamated with Stripe to operate fiat payments and has said it plans to add stablecoin support, providing organisers the capability to accept Bitcoin, traditional currency, or both via a single dashboard. 

The firm mentioned its model is made to suppress ticketing fees and widen payment access in areas where conventional payment infrastructure is finite. The Lightning Network permits reduced-cost quick transactions by processing payments off-chain instead of settling every transaction directly on the Bitcoin base layer. 

The Craze of Crypto into Event Ticketing  As per the data quoted by River marketing director Sam Wouters, the network listed around $1.1 billion in transaction volume over 5.2 million transactions in November. As per the firm’s crowdfunding page, investors in Satlantis comprise Bitcoin Opportunity Fund and Timechain Capital, a venture capital fund aimed at Bitcoin infrastructure projects. 

The history of bringing crypto into event ticketing traces long back. The Sacramento Kings was the first NBA team to accept Bitcoin for tickets and merchandise back in 2014, and the Dallas Mavericks followed in 2019. 

Talking about blockchain settlement, TIX, the on-chain network behind KYD Labs, is working to tokenise tickets as real-world assets that can be used to access capital and automate repayment. 

FIFA has also set its foot into the space before the 2026 World Cup, selling “right-to-buy” NFT tokens that grant holders a reserved window to buy match tickets at face value if some given conditions are met.

BTC fell about 5% in days as tariffs and geopolitics drove downside risk.

Summary

BTC is in a sharp correction similar to equities, with renewed tariff uncertainty and geopolitical tensions cited as primary downside catalysts in the short term.​ Kraken VP Matt Howells-Barby flags ~$60k as critical support and warns a breakdown could open a path toward the mid-to-low $50k range.​ Historically, BTC has not bottomed until the 50-week MA drops below the 100-week MA in a death cross, implying potential further downside before a durable floor forms. Matt Howells-Barby, Vice President of cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, identified critical price levels for Bitcoin as the digital asset undergoes a correction, according to statements from the executive.

Howells-Barby stated that Bitcoin is experiencing a sharp correction similar to movements in equity markets, with uncertainty surrounding tariffs cited as one of the primary factors driving the decline. The executive drew comparisons to macroeconomic pressure observed in April of the previous year, noting that geopolitical tensions could present additional downside risks in the short term.

The Kraken executive pointed to a critical support level as a technically significant threshold. According to Howells-Barby, a break below this support could push Bitcoin prices down to the lower-to-mid range.

Howells-Barby referenced historical data indicating that Bitcoin typically does not establish a clear bottom until the 50-week moving average falls below the 100-week moving average, a technical pattern known as a “death cross.” The absence of such a cross suggests the possibility of further declines extending below the lower range, according to the analysis.

Market analysts indicate that volatility may remain elevated in the current environment, with investors advised to focus on risk management strategies.

Dogecoin is facing another bearish technical call after trader Cheds Trading (@BigCheds) posted a weekly DOGE/USD chart via X on Feb. 24 and said the memecoin “looks headed for 6 cents .06 range.” The setup matters because the chart he shared shows DOGE already trading below a stack of key weekly trend indicators, with the next widely visible support region lower.

Is Dogecoin Heading To $0.06? Cheds’ comment was brief and direct: “DOGE looks headed for 6 cents .06 range”. The TradingView chart is a 1-week DOGE/USD Coinbase chart. The chart’s indicator panel shows DOGE trading below all the visible moving averages cited on the screenshot.

Dogecoin price analysis, weekly chart | Source: X @BigCheds The EMA 8 is marked at $0.10823, the SMA 200 at $0.13578, the EMA 34 at $0.15734, and the SMA 50 at $0.17912. With price at $0.09135, DOGE is beneath each of those levels, which supports the analyst’s argument that the weekly structure remains weak unless price can reclaim them.

The Bollinger Bands shown on the same chart also provide context. The screenshot lists BB 20 (2) values at $0.13861 (basis), $0.20395 (upper band), and $0.07328 (lower band). That places DOGE closer to the lower band than the midline and well below the basis, consistent with downside pressure on the weekly timeframe.

Cheds’ $0.06 target would also imply a move below the currently displayed lower Bollinger Band level of $0.07328, which frames the call as a deeper continuation scenario rather than a simple drift within the current volatility envelope. From the displayed close of $0.09135, a move to $0.06 would represent roughly another 34% downside.

The chart shows continued low trading volume, with price continuing to slide after failing to hold higher levels visible earlier in the cycle. In practical terms, the chart Cheds shared supports a straightforward thesis: DOGE is below near-term and medium-term trend references, and the burden of proof remains on buyers.

Unless DOGE can reclaim some of those weekly indicator levels, starting with the EMA 8 at 0.10823, the analyst’s call for a retest toward the $0.06 area remains aligned with the chart structure shown. Notably, DOGE has fallen below the October 10 crash low at $0.095. The next support could be near $0.08, a price DOGE visited already three weeks ago. The price also marked the August 2024 bottom.

At press time, DOGE traded at $0.09142.

WLFI price is flashing clear signs of weakness as sellers tighten their grip. The token has declined for three straight sessions, repeatedly failing to break above the 20-day EMA, while recent whale transfers to exchanges have added fresh selling pressure. The combination of price rejection and large on-chain movements is keeping sentiment cautious. With WLFI price struggling to regain momentum and distribution signals emerging, the key question now is: What’s next for WLFI price, a deeper correction or a surprise rebound?

Whale Activity Raises Fresh Concerns: More Distribution Ahead?Recent on-chain data has amplified bearish concerns. According to Lookonchain, wallet address 0x5041 received 26.6 million WLFI tokens, valued at approximately $3.2 million, from a World Liberty Financial-linked wallet. Shortly after, 6 million WLFI tokens, worth around $664,000, were transferred to Binance.

Large deposits to exchanges are closely watched because they often signal preparation for selling. While not every transfer leads to immediate liquidation, such activity typically increases short-term downside risk. The timing of this deposit aligns closely with WLFI’s recent price drop, reinforcing the distribution narrative. When whale movement and technical weakness appear together, markets tend to stay defensive.

WLFI Price Structure Shows Continued Downtrend: Is $0.10 Breakdown Next?WLFI remains locked in a clear short-term downtrend. The token is currently trading around the $0.107–$0.110 range after multiple failed attempts to reclaim resistance near the 20-day EMA, positioned between $0.115 and $0.118.

Each rejection at this moving average confirms that sellers remain in control. Instead of forming higher highs, WLFI continues to print lower highs, which keeps the bearish structure intact. Immediate support now sits near $0.10. If this level breaks, price could slide toward the $0.095 region, where previous demand emerged. A deeper correction may extend toward $0.090 if broader market weakness persists. On the upside, WLFI must close decisively above $0.118 to shift short-term momentum back to neutral. Without that reclaim, rallies are likely to remain corrective rather than trend-changing.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is trading below the neutral 50 level, signaling that buyers lack strong control. At the same time, WLFI is not yet deeply oversold, meaning additional downside remains possible before a meaningful relief bounce develops.

Outlook: Can WLFI Price Stabilize?WLFI remains under pressure as technical rejection and whale exchange deposits weigh on sentiment. If price fails to hold above $0.10, further downside toward $0.095 or even $0.090 could follow. For any recovery to gain credibility, WLFI must reclaim and sustain levels above $0.118, turning resistance back into support. Until that shift occurs, the trend remains tilted toward the downside, and traders are likely to stay cautious.

XRP products gained ~$3.5m last week while crypto funds lost ~$288m.

Summary

Crypto investment products saw ~$288m in weekly outflows, extending a five-week streak that has pulled about $4b from digital asset funds amid the lowest trading volumes since mid‑2025. BTC products lost ~$215m last week, taking YTD outflows to ~$1.3b, while ETH, TRX and multi‑asset products saw ~$36.5m, ~$18.9m and ~$32.5m exit respectively; short‑BTC vehicles drew ~$5.5m in fresh capital. XRP drew ~$3.5m of inflows on the week and ~$33.4m the week before, lifting month‑to‑date and YTD inflows to about $105m and $151m; SOL added ~$3.3m and LINK ~$1.2m over the same period. XRP (XRP)-linked investment products attracted approximately $3.5 million in net capital inflows last week, even as broader cryptocurrency products experienced outflows totaling $288 million, according to the latest CoinShares weekly flow report.

The data marks the fifth consecutive week of net withdrawals from crypto investment vehicles, pushing cumulative outflows to approximately $4 billion over this period, the report stated. Trading volumes have declined to their lowest levels since July 2025.

The United States represented the largest source of global outflows, with investors withdrawing $347 million in a single week, according to the report. In contrast, Switzerland recorded $19.5 million in inflows, Canada added $16.8 million, and Germany attracted $16.2 million, totaling approximately $59 million in combined inflows.

Bitcoin-linked investment products recorded $215 million in outflows during the week, pushing year-to-date withdrawals to around $1.3 billion, the data showed. Ethereum-related products experienced $36.5 million in weekly outflows, while Tron-related products recorded $18.9 million in outflows and multi-asset products saw $32.5 million exit. Short-Bitcoin products attracted $5.5 million in inflows, according to CoinShares.

XRP remained among the few cryptocurrencies to attract new capital during the market pullback, drawing $3.5 million in fresh inflows last week and $33.4 million the week prior, the report stated. The token’s month-to-date inflows reached $105 million, with year-to-date inflows totaling $151 million.

Solana-linked products recorded inflows of $3.3 million last week, bringing its month-to-date total to approximately $41.6 million and its year-to-date figure to about $102.5 million, according to the data. Chainlink products attracted $1.2 million in inflows.

The divergence in flows suggests investors are reallocating capital within the cryptocurrency sector rather than exiting entirely, according to market analysts. XRP trades at a lower price point than Bitcoin, potentially lowering barriers to entry for some investors. The token has also benefited from regulatory clarity following legal proceedings, analysts noted.

Total crypto trading volume fell to its lowest level since mid-2025, reflecting reduced market participation, the CoinShares report indicated.

Technical indicators are signaling the risk of a sustained Bitcoin (BTC) drop in the coming days as the asset struggles to hold the $60,000 support level.

In this context, Bitcoin is on the verge of printing a major bearish signal on the three-day chart, with a death cross between the 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages (SMA) projected to occur around February 27, according to insights from Ali Martinez.

In an X post on February 24, the analyst noted that the setup follows a prolonged decline that began with Bitcoin’s peak in October 2025. 

Since then, the cryptocurrency has dropped more than 52%, falling from above $110,000 to around $68,000. The sell-off has intensified recently, with the price breaking below both the 50 and 200 SMAs as downside momentum strengthens.

On the three-day chart, the 50 SMA is sloping downward and nearing the 200 SMA, signaling that bearish momentum has overtaken the broader trend. If confirmed in the coming days, it would mark the first death cross of this cycle on the higher timeframe.

Bitcoin price analysis chart. Source: Ali Martinez Historical impact of death cross on BTC  Historically, similar setups have preceded the final capitulation phase of bear markets. In 2013, Bitcoin had already fallen over 70% before the cross, followed by another roughly 50% decline. 

A similar pattern unfolded after the 2017 peak and again in 2021, when the death cross appeared after a steep sell-off and preceded the final leg down into the macro bottom.

Bitcoin price analysis chart. Source: Ali Martinez According to Martinez, Bitcoin’s structure mirrors prior cycles, with the asset already down more than 50% from its October 2025 peak. 

Now, the looming death cross suggests selling pressure may persist. Historically, comparable setups have preceded the final leg lower, implying a potential 30% drop toward $40,000 or, in a deeper move, 50% toward $30,000. 

While not a guarantee, past cycles show the death cross often aligns with the last major downswing before a macro bottom forms.

Bitcoin drops further below $65,000 Meanwhile, Bitcoin extended losses Tuesday, slipping further below $65,000. By press time, BTC was trading at $63,158, down nearly 5% in the past 24 hours, while on the weekly timeframe, the asset has fallen more than 6%.

Bitcoin seven-day price chart. Source: Finbold  The decline is largely tied to renewed U.S. trade policy uncertainty under President Donald Trump. After a Supreme Court ruling curtailed earlier tariff powers, Trump introduced and later raised a new global import tariff to 15%, stoking fears of trade disruption, slower growth, and higher inflation. 

The move triggered broad risk-off sentiment, pushing investors out of volatile assets like cryptocurrencies and into traditional safe havens such as gold. 

Analysts view the sell-off as tactical de-risking rather than outright capitulation, driven by leverage unwinds, sustained ETF outflows, and cascading liquidations.
