XRP on-chain pain has drawn fresh attention this week. Realized losses surged to nearly $2 billion over a one-week span. That kind of move grabs traders’ eyes because it often marks a clearing out of weaker holders. Related Reading: XRP Tipped As Central Bank Bridge Asset — Bigger Than Bitcoin? Santiment Shows Heavy Realized Losses According to Santiment, the spike is the biggest since 2022. Realized losses happen when people sell for less than what they paid. It is a measure of capitulation. In past cycles, similar spikes happened near major lows and were followed by strong rallies. ???? BREAKING: XRP has seen its largest on-chain realized loss spike since 2022. When the previous weekly milestone of -1.93B in realized losses occurred 39 months ago, $XRP proceeded to jump +114% over the next 8 months. ???? Significant realized losses happen when a large number… pic.twitter.com/gPUU8fYfiY — Santiment (@santimentfeed) February 21, 2026 One historical episode that traders point to saw a big loss week before a 114% climb over roughly eight months. Still, that outcome came from a specific set of market conditions that are not guaranteed to reappear. When Many Small Holders Leave The recent spike in realized losses has drawn attention from market participants. When investors sell at a loss, the metric rises, reflecting the scale of coins changing hands below their purchase price. Analysts often monitor this data to assess shifts in supply and demand. Realized profit and loss figures are commonly used to track market behavior during periods of sharp price movement. While the data highlights the level of losses being locked in, price direction typically depends on broader trading activity, liquidity conditions, and overall market trends. Price Moves And Market Tone XRP traded near $1.45 at the time of these reports, up about 1.50% over 24 hours but down roughly 24% for the month. The token moved mostly in step with Bitcoin during a broader market bounce. Short-term strength like that can be a start. It can also be a brief reprieve inside a longer correction. Traders watching the charts want to see more volume and clear levels taken before calling a trend change. My #XRP price targets for the next three months: March $13 April $27 May $70 — CryptoBull (@CryptoBull2020) February 21, 2026 Why Some Forecasts Stretch Reality Analyst targets running into double and triple digits have circulated online. CryptoBull’s calls for $13, $27, and $70 in a matter of months are extreme and would require dramatic new capital flows. Market cap math shows those moves need far larger demand than casual optimism provides. Other analysts used prior cycle lows to estimate a possible macro floor between $0.75 and $0.85 by applying a roughly 2.8x multiple.

Santiment’s latest figures show realized losses reaching levels not seen since 2022, placing the metric back in focus for traders tracking cycle behavior. Whether history repeats will depend on incoming demand, broader crypto sentiment, and sustained buying pressure in the weeks ahead. For now, the signal has flashed again, and the market is watching to see what follows. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView

The crypto market has been showing signs of recovery, with the Bitcoin price trying to reclaim the psychological $70,000 over the past few days. Interestingly, the latest on-chain data suggests that the crypto market might just have the required liquidity to kickstart a resurgence. Stablecoin Inflows Surge During Key Support Retest In a recent QuickTake post on the CryptoQuant platform, market analyst CryptoOnchain revealed a dramatic increase in TRC-20 USDT balances on Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume. Quoting data from CryptoQuant’s data, the on-chain analyst revealed that USDT reserves climbed from approximately $385 million on December 24 to about $5.2 billion as of February 21. What’s more interesting is, this roughly $4.8 billion spike in the stablecoin reserve on Binance occurred all under a month. Related Reading: Bitcoin Options Update: Market Panic Fades But Traders Remain Defensive – Details The crypto pundit highlighted that this significant rise in the TRC-20 UDST reserves on Binance actually coincides with the Bitcoin and Ethereum price approaching key support levels. This is typically a sign that demand is rising and positioning activity is ongoing, both of which often lead to the absorption of selling pressure. Typically, a significant increase in stablecoin accumulation on exchanges — especially during periods of price weakness — signals that liquidity is being rotated, and not completely exiting the market. According to CryptoOnchain, this means that more capital is being positioned for potential reentry into the Bitcoin or Ethereum market (among other assets). TRC-20 Usage Points To Increasing Retail Participation The on-chain analyst further highlighted that the adoption of TRC-20 USDT is often characteristic of a certain investor class, known as the retail participants. It is also widely known that large institutions — which do not typically chase cost-efficient transactions — often use the ERC20 network. Hence, CryptoOnchain concluded that “the increase in TRC-20 reserves may indicate stronger retail engagement during the correction.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Trades Below ETF Cost-Basis As MVRV Signals Mounting Pressure While stablecoin reserves indicate that market participants may be preparing for a bullish reversal of the Bitcoin price, it is worth noting that an immediate rebound is not guaranteed. This is because elevated reserves only reflect the presence of inert demand (known as dry powder), rather than real demand. Nonetheless, if the present market conditions should see stability in the near-term, this “dry powder” that waits on the sidelines could quickly become fuel to drive prices to the upside. Moreover, the Bitcoin apparent demand metric recently flipped positive, suggesting that a reversal might be imminent. As of this writing, Bitcoin is valued at around $67,971, reflecting no significant movement in the past 24 hours. Featured image from iStock, chart from TradingView

SBI Holdings has quietly rolled out a new on-chain bond designed to give ordinary investors direct exposure to XRP while keeping the product inside Japan’s regulated market. Related Reading: XRP Tipped As Central Bank Bridge Asset — Bigger Than Bitcoin? Reports say the issue by the Japan-headquartered financial group totals 10 billion yen and is being recorded, issued and managed on a blockchain system rather than through the usual securities infrastructure. SBI Starts A New Kind Of Bond Based on reports, the bonds — nicknamed the “SBI Start Bonds” in some coverage — are being tokenized on a platform called ibet for Fin, a system built by BoosTry to register and manage securities onchain. Investors who buy into the offering receive XRP roughly at the time their purchase clears. The firm has also scheduled additional XRP benefits to be paid on interest dates stretching through 2029. How The Trading Will Work Trading of these security tokens is set to occur on a proprietary system operated by Osaka Digital Exchange, with secondary market activity expected to begin on March 25, 2026. Reports indicate the bonds carry a modest yield range, with some outlets citing an indicative coupon band in the low single digits — a feature that blends a fixed-income payout with crypto rewards.

Reports note that holders must be domestic residents and must hold an account with SBI VC Trade to collect the XRP benefit; there’s a procedural deadline for completing receipt steps by mid-May. In short, this is not an open global giveaway — the offer is aimed at onshore retail investors inside Japan and tied to local account requirements. Market Reaction And Possible Effects Based on reports and market commentary, the structure could nudge demand for XRP because the issuer needs to supply the token for distribution and future payouts.

Over the past few weeks, the Dogecoin price has largely been moving sideways in a critical range around $0.09 to $0.10. The meme coin has been oscillating between key support and resistance zones, as the bulls and bears can’t seem to decide the next price direction. The latest on-chain evaluation has identified a specific support level to watch out for the Dogecoin price in the coming days. Support Levels To Watch In a February 21 post on the social media platform X, crypto analyst Ali Martinez identified a major critical support level around $0.096 and $0.074, with the latter price level seen as a deep demand wall for Dogecoin. This on-chain evaluation is based on the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD), which tracks the amount of a cryptocurrency purchased at different price levels. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Looks Bullish, But Only On The Inverted Chart As the price of Doge approaches a decisive technical moment, traders are closely watching the two critical price levels ($0.096 and $0.074). These URPD support levels often serve as psychological and structural anchors, while offering insight into the next move for an asset’s price. Technically, the real concern starts if DOGE drops below the minor support threshold around $0.096. A breakdown below this cushion could imply weakening short-term buyer confidence, suggesting a sentiment shift from careful optimism to high bearish pressure. While this does not guarantee a major sell-off, especially considering the relatively low relevance of the $0.096, it does signal that sellers gained slight control of price action. However, if the Dogecoin price drops below the first support level, $0.074 becomes the next major floor to watch – a level where buyers might step in heavily. Market dynamics often intensify at the critical point, and it could pay off to watch whether buyers will absorb selling pressure aggressively enough to create a rebound. If buying demand is high, the $0.074 support may hold, forming a base for recovery. On the flip side, if the support level fails to hold, the breach could trigger additional selling momentum. It is worth mentioning that these price levels are not guarantees of reversal or continuation. Ultimately, Dogecoin now stands at a technical crossroads; holding above $0.096 would maintain short-term structural stability and could encourage renewed buying interest. Meanwhile, a break below that level shifts attention decisively towards $0.074, with the market reaction at these levels potentially shaping Dogecoin’s next significant move. Dogecoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of DOGE stands around $0.098, reflecting a 6.46% increase in the past 24 hours.
