A flood of forgotten funds has quietly found its way back to XRP Ledger users, after a decentralized exchange founder scanned the entire network to track down expired escrows that holders had abandoned — some without even knowing the money was still there. Related Reading: Crypto Adoption No Longer Optional, Survey Finds As 72% Of Finance Leaders Signal Commitment First Ledger Founder Scans Entire Network To Recover Idle Funds Adam, the founder of First Ledger, a decentralized exchange built on the XRP Ledger, combed through every corner of the blockchain to locate escrows whose time conditions had long since passed but had never been completed. Reports say the recovered total came to 750,218 XRP — worth just over $1 million at current prices. First Ledger now runs regular scans to catch eligible escrows as soon as they become available, releasing them before they fall through the cracks again. XRPL validator Vet confirmed the figures, noting that the bulk of the locked funds belonged to ordinary community members, not institutions. Many holders had set time-based conditions on their XRP years ago and simply moved on, either forgetting the funds existed or not knowing what steps were needed to claim them. Escrow unlocks spiking on XRP. Over $1,000,000 or 750,218 XRP total in Escrows just got unlocked. Lots of those escrows were created by holders and community members and timelock expired, but they forgot or didn’t know how to unlock and receive their XRP back.@xrpl_adam… pic.twitter.com/eSdMQmlSFM — Vet (@Vet_X0) March 20, 2026 The escrow system on the XRP Ledger does not release funds on its own. Once a timelock expires, the recipient must still send a specific transaction — called an EscrowFinish — to collect what’s theirs. Miss that window, and a separate deadline kicks in. If that second deadline passes without action, the escrow expires entirely and can no longer be claimed. At that point, only a cancellation transaction can return the XRP to whoever sent it in the first place. In some cases, if no expiration date was ever set, the funds can sit locked indefinitely. Record Transaction Counts Signal Broader Usage Growth The recovered funds are just one piece of a wider activity surge on the network. Data shows that deposits into automated market makers hit an all-time high of 70,735 on Feb. 28. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds As Gold Posts Worst Week Since 1983 Amid Iran War AccountSet transactions — used to update account settings without moving any money — climbed to 114,690 on March 20, the highest single-day count the network has ever recorded. Error messages tied to insufficient XRP reserves also spiked above 370,000 on March 18, the highest reading in three years. That number reflects users trying to place new offers without holding enough XRP to meet the network’s minimum balance requirements — a sign that new participants are showing up and running into the system for the first time.

Altcoin trading activity has continued to weaken across the crypto market, which is another sign of the current investor appetite for altcoins. New data shared by CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost shows spot trading volume on Binance and other major exchanges is now at extreme lows compared to levels seen during the crypto market’s more active phases in February and October 2025. Altcoin Trading Volumes Drop Across The Board Analysis of altcoin flows shows how much of the remaining altcoin activity is now flowing through Binance compared to the rest of the crypto market. Data from CryptoQuant shows altcoin spot volumes on Binance have collapsed to $7.7 billion, which is a fraction of the $40 billion to $50 billion trading volumes recorded during last year’s peak activity periods. Related Reading: Bitcoin Gains Ground On Gold Even As Both Assets Slide On the other hand, other major exchanges combined account for about $18.8 billion in altcoin trading volume. That puts Binance’s share near 40% of the total market, meaning close to one out of every two dollars traded in altcoins is now passing through the exchange. MEXC ranks second at 7.62%, followed by Bybit at 6.07%, OKX at 6%, and Bitget at 5.61%. HTX, Coinbase, and Upbit each hold between 4.57% and 5.38%, while smaller platforms including Crypto.com, Gate.io, KuCoin, and Kraken account for the remainder. Altcoin Spot Trading Volume By Exchange. Source: CryptoQuant Those figures are far below altcoin trading volumes normally observed during more active periods. In October 2025, Binance alone recorded between $40 billion and $50 billion in altcoin trading volume, with other exchanges reaching around $63 billion. The February 2025 peak was even more pronounced, with competing platforms collectively processing approximately $91 billion in altcoin movements. The Altcoin Spot Trading Volume chart from January 2025 through March 2026, which is shown below, reveals the decline very well. What were frequent spikes well above the $40 billion mark have given way to a prolonged suppression of activity, with readings largely hugging the baseline since the beginning of 2026. Altcoins Spot Trading Volume. Source: CryptoQuant Decline In Interest Could Matter For What Comes Next The fading interest in altcoins is happening against a context that is hostile to risk-taking. Ongoing geopolitical tensions and a bear market structure have left investors more defensive, and that caution has hit altcoins harder than Bitcoin. Capital inflows are now much more selective; Bitcoin is absorbing attention first, leaving the rest of the market struggling for momentum. Even so, Darkfost pointed to an idea that long-term investors will likely keep in mind. The volume spikes observed in October and February occurred when the crypto market was forming local tops. These phases are during periods of FOMO, during which well-positioned investors use the surge in demand as exit liquidity. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds As Gold Posts Worst Week Since 1983 Amid Iran War On the other hand, periods of extremely low interest are worth watching closely because they often develop when sentiment is most depressed and expectations are at their lowest. These are when the most attractive opportunities tend to emerge. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
Shiba Inu is trading near a key support floor, and the numbers piling up on exchanges are giving traders reason to watch closely. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds As Gold Posts Worst Week Since 1983 Amid Iran War The token is currently changing hands at around $0.000005603, down roughly 1% over the past 24 hours, while a growing stockpile of coins on trading platforms signals that more selling pressure may be building. RSI Reading Points To A Market In Wait-And-See Mode The Relative Strength Index for SHIB sits at 55 — technically neutral territory, where neither bulls nor bears have a clear edge. That number tells a story on its own. Buyers aren’t charging in. Sellers aren’t panicking out. Both sides are watching. Meanwhile, trading volume has fallen 24% in 24 hours to roughly $120 million, which means the market is quieting down at exactly the wrong moment for SHIB holders hoping for a breakout. On-chain data from CryptoQuant shows that around 200 billion SHIB tokens have flowed into exchanges over a short window. When traders move tokens onto exchanges rather than keeping them in private wallets, it usually means they’re positioning to sell or shift holdings. Sitting against a total exchange reserve of about 80 trillion SHIB, 200 billion may look small. But with a supply this large, even small movements carry weight. Price Stuck Below A Wall At $0.000006403 SHIB has tried and failed multiple times to push past the $0.000006403 resistance mark. The most recent attempt came on March 16, when the price briefly spiked before getting knocked back down in a single session, pulling the token toward its current support at $0.0000056. The pattern forming on the daily chart is one of distribution — meaning holders appear to be gradually offloading tokens rather than accumulating more. Active addresses on the network did nudge up about 1% in the past day, a sign that users are still engaged. But that uptick in activity hasn’t translated into any upward move in price, which suggests demand simply isn’t keeping pace with the tokens being pushed onto the market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Gains Ground On Gold Even As Both Assets Slide A Drop To $0.0000052 Could Follow If Selling Picks Up The next line of defense for Shiba Inu sits at $0.0000052. If exchange inflows keep rising and buyers stay on the sidelines, that level could be tested sooner rather than later. Reports indicate the token remains in a consolidating phase with no clear catalyst visible to break it higher in the short term. What happens next depends largely on whether demand picks up fast enough to absorb the growing exchange supply. For now, the balance is tilting in one direction.

Dogecoin is still trading below $0.10, but there’s still the question of just how far it can go if it plays out a breakout structure. A price target of $0.6533 is on the table for Dogecoin, and if that level breaks, analyst Javon Marks says $1.25111 comes into play next, which would mark an all-time high for the meme coin. Long-Term Breakout Still Keeping The Bullish Structure Alive The main feature on Marks’ chart is a multi-year breakout from a descending resistance line that had stopped Dogecoin’s price advances since its previous top in 2021. That trendline, which is drawn from the May 2021 peak through later lower highs, acted as a resistance for a long period before price finally broke through in early 2025 and began forming a new structure. Related Reading: XRP Still In Danger Zone Without This Key Breakout: Analyst The technical chart from Marks also references a sequence of higher highs and higher lows after that breakout, which shows the current trend dominated by Dogecoin. Even though the asset has since retraced below $0.10, the outlook is that the bigger breakout is still in play. In other words, the recent weakness has not yet erased the larger technical change that took place when Dogecoin pushed above that long-standing resistance. Marks also pointed to a regular bullish divergence on the MACD, and that is where the shorter-term optimism comes from. As shown in the lower part of the chart below, the momentum indicator has been forming a rising structure even as price pressed lower in 2026. That kind of divergence typically means that the downside momentum is weakening, although the price action has not fully reflected that. Dogecoin Price Chart. Source: @JavonTM1 On X How High Dogecoin Can Go From Here According to Marks, the current setup is pointing to a reversal and the continuation of a 581% breakout run. This 581% projection clarifies just how significant the projected move would be relative to the current price around $0.09. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.0952, but the first breakout target is at $0.6533. A move to $0.6533 would represent a gain of more than 585% from the current price, and this would place Dogecoin in sight of trading at new price highs. That target is not being presented as the end of the story either. Marks says a break above $0.6533 would bring $1.25111 into play. The chart visually highlights both levels, treating the first as the main breakout objective and the second as the next expansion target if bullish continuation strengthens further. Related Reading: Bitcoin Gains Ground On Gold Even As Both Assets Slide Interestingly, that target of $0.6533 is not the end of the story. According to Marks, a break above $0.6533 would inevitably see Dogecoin break above $1 and bring a peak price of $1.25111 into target. The chart projects that move into late 2026 to mid-2027, with the annotated gain from current levels registering at approximately 421%. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
XRP Price is showing signs of weakness in the short term. The altcoin has slipped below its rising support line and is now trading under $1.450, which suggests buyers may be losing control.

Security certifications topped the list of concerns for financial institutions weighing tokenization partners, with 97% saying standards like ISO and SOC II were non-negotiable — a sign that trust, not just technology, is now driving deals in institutional crypto finance. Related Reading: Bitcoin Gains Ground On Gold Even As Both Assets Slide Stablecoins Lead As Finance Firms Shift Crypto Focus A new survey from Ripple, released Thursday, found that 72% of more than 1,000 financial industry executives worldwide believe their companies must offer digital asset solutions to remain competitive. Ripple surveyed 1,000+ global finance leaders in 2026. A few things stood out: https://t.co/414dTO9Qit → 72% say digital assets are now table stakes to stay competitive → 74% see stablecoins as a cash-flow tool, not just a payment rail → 89% of those surveyed say digital… — Ripple (@Ripple) March 19, 2026 The poll covered banks, asset managers, fintechs, and corporate firms across global markets. What stood out wasn’t just the appetite for digital assets — it was how differently each type of firm plans to get there. Fintech companies are moving fast and building in-house. About 47% of fintech respondents said they plan to develop their own digital asset infrastructure. Corporate firms are taking the opposite approach. Nearly three-quarters of them said they intend to work with outside providers. Banks and asset managers are looking for something in the middle — experienced partners who can guide strategy while also supplying the technology. Stablecoins drew the strongest interest across the board. According to Ripple, 74% of respondents said stablecoins have the potential to improve cash flow and free up capital that would otherwise sit idle. Ripple said institutions are treating stablecoins not just as payment tools, but as instruments for managing treasury operations. Custody Rises As A Core Priority Tokenization is also gaining ground, though institutions aren’t rushing in without safeguards. Among those assessing potential tokenization partners, 89% named secure asset storage as a top requirement. Token lifecycle management came in at 82%, and primary distribution ranked at 80%. Banks showed a particular appetite for advisory help. Based on survey data, 85% of bank respondents called pre-issuance structuring support important. Asset managers were close behind at 76%. Reports indicate that institutions aren’t just buying crypto infrastructure — they want guidance on how to use it. Ripple credited several forces for pushing digital assets higher on the priority list: shifting regulations, growing interest from major banks, wider use of fintech services, and the continued rise of stablecoins. Related Reading: XRP Still In Danger Zone Without This Key Breakout: Analyst The Build-Or-Buy Question Takes Center Stage The survey suggests the industry’s internal debate has moved on.

A crypto analyst has broken down everything investors and traders need to know about the current Bitcoin (BTC) cycle. In his post, the pundit argued that the present cycle is different. He explained that the widely followed four-year cycle theory is fundamentally flawed, suggesting that a far more reliable framework exists for understanding where the market truly stands. Market expert Sykodelic took to X on March 17, delivering a sharp critique of the four-year cycle theory. He argued that the widely cited model relies on nothing more than two historical data points and anchors itself purely in time rather than in any meaningful economic foundation. Whereas, he noted that the business cycle is supported by virtually every major market chart available, giving it substantially more analytical weight. Why This Bitcoin Cycle Operates By Different Rules Backing his thesis with a chart, Sykodelic laid out a sequence of market behavior he noted has played out consistently across cycles. According to him, Gold’s price rallies during periods of economic contraction and uncertainty, then peaks the moment the ISM Manufacturing Index returns to expansion territory. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Rally 250% This Year? Crypto Founder’s Bullish Prediction Shows New ATHs Once certainty returns to the macro environment, risk assets enter their genuine bull phase, and Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) begins its characteristic end-of-cycle decline. Sykodelic stated that each of these fundamental chart indicators lines up. And this is because the market cycle is strictly governed by the business and economic cycle, which is inherently linked to liquidity and economic performance. The analyst further argued that the reason the current business cycle feels so unusual and goes largely unnoticed is that no one has managed to read it correctly. He noted that most people are too focused on the Bitcoin chart and the four-year cycle theory to pay close attention to the actual business cycle. Sykodelic attributed this to human psychology, pointing out that people naturally find it difficult to believe events that have not yet occurred. He said they would rather defend events that have already taken place. The analyst argued that this instinct is why many are likely to be caught off guard in the present market cycle. What The Charts Are Actually Saying In his post, Sykodelic pointed to several observable conditions as direct evidence supporting his thesis. He shared the reason the current cycle is significantly weaker than previous ones and why most altcoins have failed to break higher despite gold experiencing a historic and unprecedented rally. Related Reading: Bitcoin Just Flashed The Most Powerful Fractal In The Market, Here’s What To Expect According to the analyst, all of these trends stem from a common root cause: a prolonged contraction in the business cycle. He noted that this contraction suppressed the conditions necessary for a typical risk-asset explosion. Concluding his analysis, Sykodelic expressed the belief that the market is not heading lower, noting that bearishly positioned traders are still operating under a seemingly faulty four-year cycle framework.

Crypto analyst CrypFlow has revealed that the signal that started the last 2 altcoin seasons has returned. The analyst pointed to bullish indicators of the ‘Others’ chart against Bitcoin, which signal that capital may be flowing to lower-capped tokens. Signal Points To Another Altcoin Season as Capital Flows From Bitcoin In an X post, CrypFlow stated that the signal that started the last two altcoin seasons is forming again. He explained that every major altcoin expansion has started the same way, with the others/Bitcoin chart breaking out of a falling wedge, and that then the Squeeze Momentum turns green. Related Reading: Expert Says There Will Be No Altcoin Season In 2026, Here’s Why The analyst remarked that when these two indicators align, altcoins start to massively outperform Bitcoin, as seen during the 2017 and 2021 altcoin seasons. However, he noted that this cycle was different as the Squeeze Momentum stayed red for years after the 2021 bull cycle peak. CrypFlow noted that this meant a prolonged Bitcoin dominance, with no real altcoin season happening since the last one in 2021. That could change soon, though, as the others/BTC chart has broken out of another multi-year falling wedge and momentum is rising again. The analyst added that if the Squeeze Momentum flips green, the same conditions that triggered previous altcoin seasons could return. CrypFlow also mentioned that when that happens, the biggest moves usually start when nobody expects them. Blockchain Center data shows that it is not yet altcoin season, with the index currently at 49. The altcoin season index needs to hit 75 to be classified as an altcoin season, with 75% of the top 50 coins by market cap outperforming Bitcoin during that period. Bitcoin continues to lead the way at the moment, with altcoins mirroring its price action. Notably, BTC’s dominance is currently at 58%, a level it has maintained since the start of the year. Crypto analyst Javon Marks also echoed CrypFlow’s sentiment, noting that similarities and macro trends in altcoin setups continue to point to altcoin season being in its early stages. Another Sign That Points To An Altcoin Season In an X post, crypto analyst CW revealed that Ethereum is forming an 8-year-long convergence and will break through it during this bull market. The analyst declared that this altcoin season will be at the level of the 2017 cycle, not the 2021 cycle. “Investors do not remember how strong the 2017 altcoin season. The 2026 Alt Season will be stronger than 2021,” he added. Related Reading: The 8-Year Ethereum Convergence That Says An Altcoin Season Stronger Than 2021 Is Coming Amid predictions of an imminent altcoin season, market expert Benjamin Cowen has suggested that the focus should be on Bitcoin.
