Market Signal Briefing

South Bow Corporation (SOBO - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.61 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.42 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.54 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +46.11%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.38 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.47, delivering a surprise of +23.68%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

South Bow Corporation, which belongs to the Zacks Oil and Gas - Production and Pipelines industry, posted revenues of $503 million for the quarter ended December 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.7%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $488 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

South Bow Corporation shares have added about 21.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 0.4%.

What's Next for South Bow Corporation?While South Bow Corporation has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for South Bow Corporation was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.44 on $499.88 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.85 on $2.04 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Oil and Gas - Production and Pipelines is currently in the top 32% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Pedevco Corp. (PED - Free Report) , another stock in the broader Zacks Oils-Energy sector, has yet to report results for the quarter ended December 2025.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.01 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -107.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Pedevco Corp.'s revenues are expected to be $14.7 million, up 38.9% from the year-ago quarter.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Paysafe Limited (NYSE: PSFE) between March 4, 2025 and November 12, 2025, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important April 7, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

So What: If you purchased Paysafe 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 Paysafe class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=2745 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 7, 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 handle 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) Paysafe's ecommerce business had significant exposure to a single high risk client; (2) as a result, Paysafe's credit loss reserves and/or write-offs were understated; (3) Paysafe had an undisclosed issue with higher risk Merchant Category Codes, making its client services difficult to bank; (4) the foregoing issues were likely to have a material negative impact on Paysafe's revenue growth and overall revenue mix; (5) as a result, Paysafe was unlikely to meet its own previously issued financial guidance for fiscal year 2025; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Paysafe's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Paysafe class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=2745 https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50622or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

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

Background of the investigation

On March 5, 2026, PepGen disclosed that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) had placed a partial clinical hold on the FREEDOM2-DM1 Phase 2 multiple ascending dose, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of PGN-EDODM1. The Company stated that the clinical hold was imposed due to concerns related to previously submitted preclinical pharmacology and toxicology studies.

Following this announcement, PepGen’s stock price declined sharply during intraday trading on March 5, 2026, as investors reacted to the regulatory development and the uncertainty surrounding the FREEDOM2 clinical program.

In light of this disclosure, Johnson Fistel is investigating whether PepGen complied with the federal securities laws. If you suffered losses from your investment in PepGen stock, contact Johnson Fistel.

While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.

Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance.

Here is how Methanex performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:

Sales volume in tonnes - Methanex-produced methanol: 2,390.00 KTon compared to the 2,148.56 KTon average estimate based on two analysts.Sales volume in tonnes - Purchased methanol: 142.00 KTon versus 574.66 KTon estimated by two analysts on average.Average realized methanol price ($/tonne): 331.00 $/Ton versus the two-analyst average estimate of 340.72 $/Ton.Sales volume in tonnes - Total: 2,689.00 KTon versus 2,889.16 KTon estimated by two analysts on average.Sales volume in tonnes - Commission sales: 157.00 KTon versus the two-analyst average estimate of 165.94 KTon.View all Key Company Metrics for Methanex here>>>

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - March 5, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of ordinary shares of uniQure N.V. (NASDAQ: QURE) between September 24, 2025 and October 31, 2025, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important April 13, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased uniQure ordinary shares 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 uniQure class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=53025 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 13, 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 misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the design of uniQure's Pivotal Study (a study of uniQure's leading drug candidate in patients with Huntington's Disease) - including comparison of the Pivotal Study results to the ENROLL-HD external historical data set- was not fully approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"); (2) defendants downplayed the likelihood that, despite purportedly highly successful results from the Pivotal Study, uniQure would have to delay its Biologics License Application ("BLA") timeline to perform additional studies to supplement its BLA submission; and (3) as a result, defendants' statements about uniQure's business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the uniQure class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=53025 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

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

With Solana & Ripple ETFs back in the green, market connoisseurs are not falling for the bull trap.

Market Sentiment:

Bullish Bearish Neutral

Published: March 5, 2026 │ 10:13 PM GMT

Created by Kornelija Poderskytė from DailyCoin

Institutional money showed up for Solana (SOL) & XRP on March 4, even as the broader crypto market struggled to keep momentum. Data cited by multiple reports put net inflows into Solana-focused ETFs at $19.06 million for the day, with XRP products adding another $4.19 million.

Sponsored

The move stood out against a choppier tape in majors, where bitcoin and ether were softer while performance concentrated in smaller pockets of the market. In other words: selective risk-taking, not a market-wide chase.

What The ETF Flows Are Telling UsThe combined $23.25 million into SOL and XRP ETFs is small next to the massive volumes bitcoin-linked products typically attract, but it’s notable for what it signals: asset managers are increasingly willing to take directional exposure beyond BTC and ETH through regulated wrappers.

The Solana (SOL) bid also coincided with a technical inflection point being closely watched by traders. With SOL hovering in the low $90s in some market snapshots, chart watchers have been focused on the $95 area as a near-term decision level, with derivatives positioning building alongside it. One report also pointed to rising open interest even as futures volume eased—often a sign that traders are leaning into the next move rather than closing out risk.

Narrowing Rallies Meet Catalyst TradingThe ETF flows land in a market that’s been rotating sharply between narratives, with mid-caps occasionally ripping on catalysts while large caps fade. That dynamic matters for SOL and XRP: both benefit when investors want liquid, high-beta exposure without diving too far down the risk curve.

For SOL specifically, the institutional narrative remains tied to its role in stablecoin activity and tokenization experiments, themes that have increasingly pulled in traditional finance brands. For XRP, the demand case has leaned more on its positioning in payments infrastructure and institutional adoption, though the degree of follow-through remains hard to judge from a single day’s flows.

What XRP Holders Should Watch Next..If inflows persist, they can provide steady spot demand and dampen sell pressure during volatile stretches—especially when leveraged markets are crowded. But the same setup cuts both ways: a rejection at key technical levels, or a sudden slowdown in ETF buying, can quickly turn “institutional interest” into a short-term headwind.

For crypto investors, the practical takeaway is that regulated vehicles are no longer a bitcoin-only story. When capital starts trickling into SOL & XRP ETF products during a narrow rally, it’s a sign that portfolio construction in crypto is getting more granular—and that sector rotation risk is rising right alongside opportunity.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has reached a settlement with Tron founder Justin Sun and related entities, marking a significant development in the long-running legal dispute over alleged securities violations involving Tron (TRX) and BitTorrent (BTT) tokens.

According to a court filing released Thursday, Rainberry Inc., a company connected to the Tron ecosystem, agreed to pay a $10 million civil penalty as part of the settlement. The agreement also requires Rainberry to refrain from future violations of federal securities laws. In return, the SEC will dismiss the remaining claims against Rainberry with prejudice, meaning the regulator cannot bring the same allegations again in the future.

The proposed settlement also resolves the SEC’s claims against Justin Sun, the Tron Foundation, and the BitTorrent Foundation. If approved by a federal judge, the final judgment would formally dismiss all charges against these parties, bringing an end to the case that began in 2023.

The SEC initially sued Sun and his associated companies for allegedly violating U.S. securities laws through the sale and distribution of TRX and BTT tokens. Regulators also accused Sun of orchestrating a large-scale wash trading scheme designed to manipulate the secondary market price of TRX. Wash trading refers to the practice of repeatedly buying and selling the same asset to create misleading trading activity and artificially influence market perception.

In its filing, the SEC confirmed that both the agency and the defendants had agreed to the terms of the settlement. The commission reviewed and approved the consent agreement and proposed final judgment, with Rainberry, Justin Sun, the Tron Foundation, and the BitTorrent Foundation consenting to the court order.

The settlement still requires approval from a federal judge before it becomes final.

The lawsuit was originally filed during the tenure of former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, when the agency pursued multiple enforcement actions against cryptocurrency firms. However, many of those cases were later dropped after Donald Trump returned to the presidency in January, with Commissioner Mark Uyeda serving as acting chair before Paul Atkins assumed the role of SEC chairman.

Justin Sun also drew attention after purchasing roughly $80 million worth of World Liberty Financial (WLFI) tokens, a cryptocurrency project partly owned by Trump and members of his family, shortly after the 2024 election. Around the same time, the SEC paused its case against Sun alongside several other enforcement actions targeting crypto companies.

Representatives for the SEC and the Tron network have not yet responded to requests for comment regarding the settlement.

When you plug in a special prompt into AI chatbots, KIMI AI reveals some frankly unbelievable 2026 price projections for top cryptocurrencies.

Markets seem unfazed by the US/Iran war news, a sign that much of the geopolitical risk was absorbed earlier in the year, following aggressive sell-offs triggered by comments from former President Trump regarding possible U.S. military actions linked to Greenland and Iran.

While it’s still early days, crypto’s recovery may actually be on a firm footing.

Here’s why KIMI AI believes XRP, Ethereum and Dogecoin will gain the most.

XRP ($XRP): KIMI AI Forecasts a 6x Move Within 10 MonthsIn a recent update, Ripple reaffirmed XRP ($XRP) remains central to its vision of establishing the XRP Ledger (XRPL) as a global, enterprise-grade payments infrastructure.

Source: KIMI AIThanks to near-instant transaction finality and minimal fees, XRPL could secure an early foothold in two of crypto’s fastest-growing verticals: stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets.

XRP is currently trading near $1.41, and KIMI predicts a potential rally toward $8 by New Year, representing a sixfold gain from current levels.

XRP’s relative strength index (RSI) is holding close to a neutral 50, while price action has converged with the 30-day moving average, indicating the downturn may be exhausted.

Hitting $8 depends on rising institutional participation following the rollout of U.S.-listed XRP ETFs, Ripple’s expanding international partnerships, and the passage of the CLARITY Act through Congress later this year.

Ethereum (ETH): KIMI AI Sees ETH at $7.500Ethereum ($ETH) remains the foundation of decentralized finance thanks to an early lead in sophisticated smart contracts.

Source: KIMI AIWith a market capitalization of $251 billion and roughly $53 billion locked on chain, Ethereum is the primary settlement layer for blockchain economic activity.

Its strong security record, leadership in stablecoin issuance, and early traction in real-world asset tokenization position Ethereum for increased institutional adoption post-CLARITY.

Regulatory clarity remains a key variable. Institutions require it to deploy larger allocations on Ethereum.

ETH is currently trading below $2,000, with significant resistance expected near $5,000, close to its all-time high of $4,946.05 last August.

KIMI’s scenario suggests that a confirmed breakout above $5,000 could open the door to $7,500 ETH before Christmas.

Dogecoin (DOGE): DOGE to $1? KIMI AI Thinks the Real Target is 3x That!Originally launched as a joke in 2013, Dogecoin ($DOGE) is now a mature digital asset with a market capitalization around $14 billion, accounting for nearly half of the $32 billion meme coin sector.

Source: KIMIDOGE last set an all-time high of $0.7316 during the retail-driven bull market of 2021.

The $1 milestone has long been a psychological target for the Dogecoin community, and KIMI’s outlook suggests that a strong bull cycle could push DOGE close to, or beyond, that level.

From its current price just under $0.10, a move toward $2.80 or higher would represent a 28x return, or 2,700%.

Adoption and utility continue to grow.

Tesla accepts DOGE for select merchandise, while major fintech platforms including PayPal and Revolut now support Dogecoin transactions, reinforcing its real-world utility.

SUBBD (SUBBD): If Altseason is Here, then SUBBD is KINGIf the above cryptos follow KIMI’s projected course, then one new token that presale watchers expect will surge alongside them is SUBBD ($SUBBD), an AI-integrated content platform likely to disrupt the $85 billion creator economy.

SUBBD empowers creators with better revenue tools while offering fans more meaningful engagement.

Unlike traditional subscription platforms, which often charge creators up to 20% in fees while limiting community control, SUBBD eliminates intermediaries.

This decentralized approach has already sparked interest, raising $1.5 million during its ongoing presale.

Fans also benefit from an exclusive access ecosystem, including token-gated content, early releases, and member-only discounts, all fostering deeper connections between creators and their supporters.

To stay updated, you can follow SUBBD across X, Telegram, and Instagram, or join the ongoing presale directly through their website.

CleanSpark (NASDAQ: CLSK), a U.S.-based bitcoin mining company operating large-scale data centers, sold nearly all of the bitcoin it mined in February as it ramps up investment in artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure.

According to the company’s latest operational update, CleanSpark produced 568 BTC during February and sold 553 BTC, representing roughly 97% of its monthly production. The sales generated approximately $36.65 million in revenue, with an average selling price of $66,279 per bitcoin. This marks one of the company’s highest ratios of bitcoin production sold compared with previous months.

The move reflects a growing trend among bitcoin mining companies that are increasingly shifting toward AI and high-performance computing opportunities. As demand for data centers and computing power continues to surge, many miners are liquidating portions of their bitcoin holdings or selling newly mined BTC to finance infrastructure upgrades and expansion projects.

Despite the large sale, CleanSpark still maintains a significant bitcoin treasury. As of Feb. 28, the company held 13,363 BTC. Of that total, 1,086 BTC is either pledged as collateral or classified as receivables linked to derivative transactions.

CleanSpark also continues to expand its mining operations and computing capacity. The company reported an operational hashrate of 50 exahashes per second (EH/s), representing roughly 7% of the total global bitcoin network computing power. This scale positions CleanSpark among the largest publicly traded bitcoin mining firms in the industry.

In addition, CleanSpark recently finalized the acquisition of a second campus in Texas, adding 300 megawatts of ERCOT-approved power capacity. With this expansion, the company’s total contracted power portfolio now reaches approximately 1.8 gigawatts, strengthening its ability to support both bitcoin mining operations and emerging AI and HPC workloads.

U.S. regulators are moving to resolve a high-profile justin sun case, signaling a potential turning point in federal crypto enforcement strategy.

Summary

SEC seeks $10 million penalty from BitTorrent parent RainberryKey terms of the Rainberry civil penalty agreementTron Foundation claim dismissal and case statusBroader SEC crypto enforcement shift after leadership changeImpact on Justin Sun and ongoing venturesRegulatory overhang and BitTorrent owner settlement implications SEC seeks $10 million penalty from BitTorrent parent Rainberry The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a proposed final judgment on Wednesday in federal court in New York targeting Rainberry Inc., the company behind the BitTorrent protocol. Under the proposed order, Rainberry would pay a $10 million civil penalty and accept an injunction barring it from deceptive practices in securities offerings.

The settlement framework focuses on Rainberry, which operates the technology tied to the TRX ecosystem. However, the injunction would specifically prohibit misleading conduct in future securities-related activities, aligning with the SEC’s traditional investor-protection mandate.

Key terms of the Rainberry civil penalty agreement In exchange for Rainberry’s payment and injunctive relief, the SEC would dismiss its remaining claims against Justin Sun and affiliated entities, including the Tron Foundation and BitTorrent Foundation. The proposed dismissal would be “with prejudice,” meaning the regulator cannot refile the same allegations in this federal court.

The enforcement action, first brought in 2023, accused Sun and his companies of selling unregistered securities and manipulating the market for the TRX token through alleged wash trading. Moreover, the complaint framed these practices as part of a broader pattern of misconduct in digital-asset markets.

Rainberry agreed to the settlement terms without admitting or denying the allegations selling unregistered securities, a standard feature of many SEC resolutions. However, this structure allows the company to close the matter while avoiding a formal admission that could fuel parallel litigation.

Tron Foundation claim dismissal and case status The proposed judgment would effectively end the trx wash trading claims and broader Tron Foundation claim dismissal sought by Sun’s defense team. That said, the agreement will only take effect if approved by a federal judge in the Southern District of New York, who must sign off on the consent order.

This partial resolution marks a significant step toward closing one of the SEC’s most visible crypto cases. However, it does not rewrite the original complaint, which remains part of the public record and continues to shape perceptions of TRX and its associated platforms.

Broader SEC crypto enforcement shift after leadership change The move comes as U.S. authorities appear to be recalibrating how they police digital assets, amid what many observers describe as an SEC crypto enforcement shift. The change follows the departure of former SEC chair Gary Gensler, whose tenure was defined by an aggressive effort to apply securities laws across the digital-asset sector.

Under Gensler, the commission launched a series of headline-making cases that targeted token issuers, exchanges, and market participants. Moreover, his approach centered on the view that most crypto tokens should be treated as securities, a stance that triggered intense industry pushback.

Impact on Justin Sun and ongoing ventures Despite the overhang of the enforcement action, Sun has remained a visible figure in the sector. The justin sun case did not prevent him from staying active in protocol governance, cross-chain initiatives, and new financial products tied to the broader TRX ecosystem.

Recently, Sun has also drawn scrutiny for his links to World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture associated with allies of President Donald Trump. However, the proposed settlement with Rainberry does not address those activities, which remain outside the scope of this proceeding.

Regulatory overhang and BitTorrent owner settlement implications If approved, the bittorrent owner settlement would remove a major regulatory overhang for founder Justin Sun and his companies. Moreover, it would clarify the legal exposure of the BitTorrent and Tron ecosystems in relation to this specific SEC action.

Market participants are likely to watch closely how other enforcement matters evolve in the wake of this deal. That said, the Rainberry resolution will not settle broader policy debates in Washington over how to classify and regulate digital tokens.

Overall, the proposed rainberry civil penalty agreement underscores a more selective posture by regulators, even as they maintain that compliance with securities law remains non-negotiable for crypto issuers and platforms.

Elon Musk just gave the internet its first real glimpse of X Money, and the crypto world immediately started connecting the dots regarding XRP and its price prediction.

The new payment system from X is rolling out in beta and aims to turn the platform into a full financial hub. Early previews show users sending money, receiving payments, managing balances, and even earning yield directly inside the app.

That instantly sparked speculation about crypto.

Some users believe the system could eventually support assets like Dogecoin or even XRP for payments. Musk did not confirm anything, but he did repost a prediction describing a future where X includes investing, lending, high-yield savings, and crypto support.

For many, that repost felt like a quiet nod that the idea is at least on the table.

Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya suggested stablecoins would make more sense because they are easier to integrate into global payments and face fewer regulatory issues.

If even 10% of this is true:

1) your identity on X becomes a crucial financial asset. The distribution of your identity becomes a huge asset that others will underwrite. Investing will then include building a following and posting good, interesting, engaging and useful content… https://t.co/N66jjMmtB7

— Chamath Palihapitiya (@chamath) March 4, 2026 Either way, the potential scale is massive. X already has more than 600 million monthly users and money transmitter licenses across over 40 US states.

If crypto ever plugs into that system, the impact could be huge. And that is exactly why the XRP question keeps resurfacing.

XRP Price Prediction: Could XRP Be Added to X Money?For now, there is no confirmation that XRP will be integrated into the platform. However, the speculation alone is enough to keep the asset in the conversation as traders watch how Musk’s super app ambitions unfold.

Source: XRPUSD / TradingViewXRP price is now testing the $1.50 resistance zone, the same area that has rejected several moves over the past few weeks.

It also lines up with the descending trendline that has been steering the broader downtrend, which makes it a major barrier on the chart.

If XRP finally breaks and holds above $1.50, the structure starts to shift. The next level sits near $1.61. Clear that, and the door opens toward $1.90, with $2.20 becoming possible if momentum keeps building.

If price gets rejected again at $1.50, attention quickly swings back to $1.30 support, the level that has been holding the market up during the recent consolidation.

Maxi Doge: Is $MAXI the Next Meme Coin Traders Rotate Into?

When coins like XRP start moving like molasses and every bounce feels slow. This is where traders usually start looking for something with real momentum. That is where Maxi Doge ($MAXI) jumps in.

Maxi Doge is not trying to be a slow, long-term grind. It is built for speed. Meme energy, bold branding, and a loud community that thrives when sentiment flips and traders start chasing the next hot narrative.

And the early numbers show people are already paying attention. The $MAXI presale has raised around $4.6 million so far, with staking rewards going up to 67% APY for early participants.

When big players are busy stacking the slower coins, retail usually hunts the next fast mover. Maxi Doge is setting itself up exactly for that kind of moment.

This Thursday, it was announced that the U.S. Bitcoin miner CleanSpark (CLSK) sold nearly all of its February production to capitalize on its aggressive expansion into artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC). The most recent operational report revealed that the firm sold 553 BTC out of the 568 produced, representing a 97% sell-off ratio. This operation generated $36.65 million, taking advantage of an average selling price exceeding $66,000 per unit.

This move underscores a growing trend in the mining sector, as companies seek to diversify their revenue streams by leveraging their data center infrastructure for AI services. Despite this massive liquidation of monthly production, CleanSpark maintains a solid treasury with over 13,000 BTC accumulated. Furthermore, the company strengthened its operational capacity after closing the acquisition of a second campus in Texas, adding 300 megawatts to its contracted power portfolio.

In summary, with an operational hashrate that already represents 7% of the network’s global power, the critical next step will be to demonstrate the efficiency of its hybrid model between cryptocurrencies and advanced computing in a highly competitive market.

When Bitwise Asset Management launched its Bitcoin ETF in January 2024, it made a promise: hand over 10% of gross profits every year to the people who keep Bitcoin running. Fourteen months later, that promise is still being kept — and the checks are getting bigger.

A Growing Commitment To Open-Source Work The firm announced a $233,000 donation on March 4, directed at three organizations that fund BTC open-source developers: Brink, OpenSats, and the Human Rights Foundation’s Bitcoin Development Fund.

Combined with last year’s contribution, Bitwise has now put more than $380,000 into the hands of programmers who maintain and secure the world’s largest cryptocurrency network. None of that money came from marketing budgets or corporate goodwill gestures. It came straight from ETF profits.

As part of our annual commitment to support Bitcoin open-source developers, Bitwise is proud to donate $233,000 to support the unsung heroes maintaining and securing the Bitcoin network.

This year marked significant growth for the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF ($BITB), making this… pic.twitter.com/wjEoLHDVsY

Image Credit: Reuters/Brendan McDermid/File Photo The Bitcoin ETF at the center of this — ticker BITB — has pulled in over $2.5 billion in investor inflows since it launched. That growth is what drives the size of the annual donation.

As BITB grows, so does the contribution. Bitwise said as much when announcing this year’s gift, confirming that future donations will scale with the fund’s assets under management.

Bitcoin’s Invisible Workforce Open-source developers rarely make headlines. They write code, review proposals, fix bugs, and argue over technical upgrades in public forums — mostly without pay.

The three nonprofits receiving Bitwise’s donation exist specifically to change that. Brink and OpenSats offer grants and fellowships to full-time contributors. The Human Rights Foundation’s Bitcoin Development Fund focuses on reaching developers in countries where financial freedom is most at risk.

Beyond Crypto Bitwise has extended the same model to Ethereum. Based on reports, the firm also donated a portion of profits from its spot Ethereum ETF — ETHW — to Ethereum open-source contributors last year.

The broader picture is a firm using its ETF business not just to profit from crypto, but to fund the work that keeps it functional.

Whether that becomes an industry standard remains to be seen. For now, Bitwise is one of the few doing it consistently — and putting the receipts on the table every year.

Christian, a journalist and editor with leadership roles in Philippine and Canadian media, is fueled by his love for writing and cryptocurrency. Off-screen, he's a cook and cinephile who's constantly intrigued by the size of the universe.

A retired US Army combat medic has predicted that XRP will overtake Bitcoin as the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency — a claim that would require XRP’s price to climb from $1.41 to nearly $24.

A Long Road To The Top Patrick L. Riley, who now operates as a market commentator on social media, posted the forecast on X without offering supporting data or a specific timeline.

It was not his first time making the claim. Last month, Riley said XRP would become the top-ranked crypto within six years, regardless of whether Bitcoin breaks the $150,000 price level this year.

He added that if Bitcoin fails to reach that threshold and reclaim its 12-year trend line, it could collapse to as low as $1,000.

Based on current market data, XRP sits fourth by total market value at close to $87 billion. Bitcoin leads at $1.45 trillion. Ethereum ranks second at $254 billion. BNB holds third place at $89.3 billion, just ahead of XRP.

I’m going to make two very not bold predictions.

1: This will not be a 4-5 week long war.

2: XRP will pass Bitcoin.

— Patrick L Riley (@Acquired_Savant) March 4, 2026

Before XRP could even challenge Bitcoin, it would first need to pass BNB — a gap of roughly 3.5% — and then Ethereum, which would require a price increase of about 190%, pushing XRP past $4.15. Surpassing Bitcoin would demand a further surge to $23.70.

XRP last overtook Ethereum in December 2019. Since then, the token has bounced between third and fourth place, often trading blows with BNB for position.

Other Voices, Similar Claims Riley is not alone in making this kind of forecast. In August 2025, a finance commentator known as Coach JV said XRP would claim the top spot by 2030, with Bitcoin falling to second.

XRPUSD now trading at $1.43. Chart: TradingView In March 2025, Jacob King, CEO of SwanDesk, made a similar argument after the US government confirmed it had added XRP to its national crypto stockpile.

King said the US had effectively sidelined Bitcoin by choosing XRP for its strategic reserve, and that XRP’s market cap would surpass Bitcoin’s with certainty. No timeline was given.

Riley Also Weighs In On The Israel-Iran War Beyond crypto, Riley’s post touched on the military conflict between Israel and Iran that broke out on February 28. The US and Israel launched coordinated strikes against Iranian leadership, nuclear infrastructure, and proxy forces.

Reports indicate Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed on the first day of the campaign, along with other senior officials. Iran responded with more than 200 missiles and drones targeting Israeli territory and US military positions in the Gulf region.

At the outset, US President Donald Trump said the operation might run for about four to five weeks, with the possibility it could stretch longer.

Riley later rejected that estimate in a post, though he did not explain what led him to think the conflict would wrap up sooner.

This week, Aave Labs unveiled a detailed security framework for Aave V4, describing nearly a year of audits, formal verification, and public testing designed to harden what is widely considered decentralized finance's largest lending protocol before it goes live.

Short-selling firm Culper Research has taken a bearish stance on Ethereum (ETH), betting against both the cryptocurrency and companies heavily exposed to it, including Ethereum-focused treasury firm BitMine (BMNR). The firm argues that Ethereum’s economic model has weakened significantly following the network’s December 2025 upgrade known as Fusaka.

In a report released Thursday, Culper Research claimed the Fusaka upgrade dramatically increased available blockspace on the Ethereum network. While the upgrade improved transaction capacity, the firm says it also flooded the network with excess supply, causing transaction fees to drop sharply. Lower fees directly impact validator earnings, since staking rewards partly rely on those fees. According to the report, this decline has already pushed Ethereum staking yields lower.

Culper warns this trend could trigger a negative feedback loop for the Ethereum ecosystem. If validator yields continue to decline, fewer participants may be incentivized to stake ETH, potentially weakening network security over time. The firm estimates Ethereum transaction fees have fallen roughly 90% since the Fusaka upgrade, which it says has significantly damaged ETH tokenomics.

The report also highlighted recent on-chain activity involving Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Data cited from blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain suggests Buterin sold nearly 20,000 ETH this year, valued at roughly $40 million at current market prices. Culper used this data to argue that even key figures within the Ethereum community may be reducing their exposure.

Culper Research also challenged bullish narratives surrounding Ethereum’s network growth. Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine, has previously pointed to rising transaction counts and active addresses as indicators of stronger network fundamentals. However, Culper argues those metrics may be misleading.

According to the firm’s analysis, a large portion of the recent surge in Ethereum activity may stem from “address poisoning” attacks. In these scams, attackers send small transactions designed to trick users into copying malicious wallet addresses. Culper claims such activity artificially inflates transaction numbers and network usage metrics.

The report also criticized BitMine’s aggressive Ethereum treasury strategy. Since July, the company has accumulated roughly 4.4 million ETH. With Ethereum’s price declining from recent highs, Culper estimates the firm’s holdings are now about 45% underwater. Data from DropsTab suggests this represents approximately $7.4 billion in unrealized losses tied to the company’s ETH reserves.

BitMine had not responded to requests for comment at the time of publication.

Humanity Protocol [H] has recorded a notable rally, with the asset gaining 11% over the past day. The surge appears to result from combined activity across both spot and derivatives markets.

Data shows that Spot investors contributed 16.4% of the total trading volume, while perpetual traders accounted for the larger share at 83.6%, bringing total volume to $65.26 million.

However, despite the rising momentum and the combined participation of these two groups, the risk of a market pullback remains. Emerging indicators suggest that underlying threats could still pressure the rally.

Spot selling hits a low The likelihood of a sustained rebound has strengthened as selling pressure on H has gradually declined over the past month.

According to market data, total sell-offs in the past day dropped to roughly $93,000, a level last seen on the 3rd of February.

A decline of this scale often indicates that investors are cooling off from aggressive selling. It may also suggest that market participants are gradually turning bullish, as buyers could begin to outweigh sellers in the market.

In the perpetual Futures market, indicators point to a similar possibility of bullish sentiment at the time of writing.

Perpetual market data shows that $71.34 million worth of open contracts are largely dominated by long traders. At the same time, the Funding Rate was 0.0141% across the past day.

A positive Funding Rate typically supports a bullish outlook, as it indicates that long traders are willing to pay a premium to maintain their positions, reinforcing the possibility of continued upward price movement.

Warning signs emerge Despite the rally, several indicators suggest that the upward move may not be sustained. At the time of writing, liquidation data reveals a near balance between long and short positions liquidated over the past day.

Data from CoinGlass shows that long liquidations totaled about $28,900, while short liquidations reached roughly $29,110 during the same period.

When liquidation levels approach a near 1:1 ratio, it often reflects uncertainty in the market. Such balance suggests that neither bulls nor bears currently hold clear dominance.

Until a clear imbalance emerges, the market lacks a strong directional narrative. This places H in a critical position where price could either extend its rally or reverse into a downturn.

Downside risk remains elevated The liquidation heatmap also highlights an imbalance in the distribution of liquidity clusters across the chart.

Clusters represent areas where large concentrations of liquidation orders remain unfilled. These zones often act as price magnets, pulling price toward them once the market begins moving in that direction.

Currently, the heatmap indicates a greater concentration of liquidation clusters below the current price level.

This gives short traders a slight structural advantage, as these clusters could attract price downward if momentum weakens.

Source: CoinGlass

For now, market sentiment suggests that although H continues to rally, traders should approach the market with caution, as the broader sentiment remains highly dynamic and susceptible to rapid shifts.

Final Summary H records a notable rally as both spot and derivatives trading drive market activity. Liquidation balance points to a heightened risk of volatility that could push the market in either direction.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - March 5, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNS) between February 4, 2025 and October 28, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important March 9, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

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

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Varonis class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50337 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 March 9, 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 achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. 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 made materially false and/or misleading statements and or failed to disclose that: (1) Varonis would not be able to maintain ARR projections while converting both its federal and non-federal existing on-prem customers to the software-as-a-service ("SaaS") alternative offering; (2) Varonis was not equipped to convince existing users of the benefits of converting to the SaaS offering or otherwise maintain these customers on its platform, resulting in significantly reduced ARR growth potential in the near-term; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Varonis' business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. 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.
