Crypto pundit X Finance Bull has highlighted XRP’s mass adoption and its use across several continents. Given the altcoin’s global utility, the analyst noted that the token won’t remain undervalued forever, hinting it could still reach higher prices. Pundit Points To XRP’s Global Adoption Among Different Countries In an X post, X Finance Bull said that the estimated global distribution of XRP holders paints a picture most people miss. He revealed that Asia-Pacific leads with roughly 35% to 40% of holders and holds an average of 4,200 XRP. The primary uses of the altcoin among these Asia-Pacific holders are remittances and trading. The pundit noted that this is real people moving money across borders using XRP, highlighting the token’s utility. Related Reading: XRP Season About To Start? Historical Oversold Levels Point To Major Rally Furthermore, North America accounts for 25% to 30% of XRP holders globally, with smaller average holdings of around 1,850 XRP. The use case for the token among these holders is shifting towards institutional positioning, the pundit stated. Notably, demand for the altcoin has increased since the XRP ETFs launched last year. Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs is currently the largest XRP holder among these institutional investors. X Finance Bull also revealed that Europe accounts for 20% to 25% of holders, with an average of 2,100 XRP. These holders are said to be holding the token for portfolio diversification. Latin America is behind, accounting for between 8% to 12% of holders. As in the Asia-Pacific region, the primary use case in Latin America is cross-border payments. In line with this, the pundit said that the altcoin isn’t limited to a single country and is a global asset, solving different problems for different people depending on where they live. He added that this kind of global utility doesn’t stay undervalued forever. Bull Case For The Altcoin In another X post, X Finance Bull made a bullish case for XRP, noting that 12 of the 30 banks SWIFT is collaborating with on a blockchain-based shared ledger for real-time, 24/7 cross-border payments are confirmed Ripple partners. He described this development as the moment he had been watching for. Related Reading: Analyst Reveals The Plan For XRP Price Using The Bitcoin Chart The pundit remarked that these 12 banks are linked to Ripple through payment networks, custody, steering groups, or banking consortia. He noted that the regulatory framework and the infrastructure are arriving at the same time and that the banks designing SWIFT’s blockchain future are the same ones that have partnered with Ripple. X Finance Bull added that the architecture of the future is being built by institutions that already know the XRP Ledger inside and out. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.32, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

The Binance exchange has registered a surge in derivatives activity triggered by an ongoing pullback in gold’s price. The highly priced commodity and world’s largest asset has experienced a steady price decline since around February amid exacerbating geopolitical tensions and concerns about global inflation levels. Related Reading: Not Binance: Bitcoin Analyst Who Bought At $1 Revealed What Really Caused The October 10 Crash Binance Users Show Heavy Interest In Gold Market In an X post by renowned analyst Darkfost, gold has declined by more than 17% from its all-time high above $5,300, marking a significant correction following an initial prolonged rally that began in 2024, resulting in a net gain of 160%. Considering the unstable macro environment in 2025, marked by impromptu tariffs and potential trade wars, gold emerged as the choice haven for many investors, while heavy inflows encouraged traders to build multiple leveraged positions. As prices began to reverse, these leveraged positions became vulnerable, i.e., margin calls were triggered, forcing automatic liquidations. Voluntary liquidations were recorded in some cases where traders preferred to take profits or move to protect other positions. During the most recent gold price decline, gold futures trading activity on Binance reached record levels since its launch in January. Notably, as gold approached $4,400 on March 23, daily futures trading volume on Binance exceeded $6.6 billion. Meanwhile, the cumulative volume over seven days surpassed $17 billion, representing the magnanimous interest in gold by Binance users. Notably, total trading activity since the launch of gold futures on the exchange has also now crossed $72 billion. This development represents a heavy appetite for gold access by many Binance users, who are now operating through recently launched tokenized exposure. These traders appear to be actively seeking alternative hedges and diversification strategies. The intersection of cautious sentiment, capital rotation, and increased derivatives activity highlights a newfound perpetual market set with high potential and unknown implications on the exchange’s digital asset markets.

Crypto Market Overview According to CoinMarketCap, the total crypto market cap crashed to $2.28 trillion, reflecting a 3.81% loss. Amid this downward move, underlying sentiment also remains fragile, with the Fear & Greed Index at 22, firmly in “fear” territory. This cautious mood is further supported by a net outflow of $360.60 million, signaling that some investors are still reducing exposure or reallocating capital. Market dominance also shows capital concentration in major assets, with Bitcoin at 57.9% and Ethereum at 10.5%. The premier cryptocurrency is valued at $65,908, showing a 6.63% loss over the last seven days. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview

BlackRock’s staked Ethereum fund pulled in $155 million on its first day of trading — more than the firm’s own Bitcoin ETF managed at launch. That number tells one part of Ethereum’s story in early 2026. Related Reading: UK Slaps Sanctions On $20B Crypto Black Market Tied To Southeast Asia Scam Rings The other part is harder to spin: the token itself has dropped more than 55% from its August 2025 high of roughly $4,953, and it is still falling. A Network Busier Than Ever Daily active addresses on Ethereum climbed toward 2 million in February 2026, surpassing peaks recorded during the 2021 bull market, according to analytics firm CryptoQuant. Smart contract interactions now exceed 40 million per day, and 37 million ETH — close to 30% of total supply — sits locked in staking contracts. Those are not small numbers. They suggest a network that more people are actively using than at any point in its history. But price is not following.

Base: 1.99M, Arbitrum: 785k Data via @growthepie_eth pic.twitter.com/7qcVV8vo2u — Leon Waidmann (@LeonWaidmann) March 26, 2026 Analysts say capital flows and rising exchange deposits now explain ether’s price better than on-chain usage, a break from the tight relationship seen in prior bull markets. In 2018 and 2021, surging activity came with surging prices. That pattern no longer holds. Ethereum hosts approximately $162 billion in stablecoin supply — about 52% of the global market — yet that activity has not translated into proportional value for ether itself. The blockchain is busy. Its native token is not benefiting the way it once did. Where The Money Is Going Part of the explanation lies in how Ethereum has changed. During the 2021 cycle, peak monthly fee revenue exceeded $500 million when virtually all activity occurred on Layer 1. Today, economic value increasingly flows to Layer 2 operators and sequencers rather than to ETH holders directly. Ethereum scaled. The asset did not capture the upside.

Exchange reserves have dropped to 16 million ETH — the lowest level ever recorded — down 30% from 23 million ETH in 2023. Roughly 7 million ETH, worth around $13.7 billion, has been withdrawn from exchanges, with holders moving coins to cold storage and staking rather than positioning to sell. Less supply available on exchanges can reduce selling pressure over time, though it does not guarantee a price recovery. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

The Bitcoin price has been trading below $100,000 for months now, and there has been no attempt to reclaim this level. Even now, the price continues to trade more than 40% below its all-time high, as massive sell-offs continue to push the price down. Amid this widespread selling and negative macroeconomic factors, a crypto analyst has revealed when they expect the Bitcoin price to reach the $100,000 mark again before attempting a new all-time high. End Of Iran War Will Drive Bitcoin Price Back in February, the United States had apparently carried out coordinated strikes on the Iranian military, eventually leading to what is now known as the US-Iran war. This move affected financial markets across the globe, and Bitcoin was not left out. Even now, the cryptocurrency market continues to feel the impact of the conflict as inflows have slowed down. Related Reading: Ethereum Accumulation Map Reveals Price Roadmap To $20,000 This negative macroeconomic climate has put a damper on the Bitcoin price, and investors remain wary. While the war rages on, the expectation is that financial assets will continue to struggle, especially as oil prices rise. However, the real move is expected to come in the event of a ceasefire. According to a pseudonymous crypto analyst, who goes by @RoccobullboTTom on X (formerly Twitter), the Bitcoin price will surge when the US-Iran war ends. The analyst explains that this will be the catalyst that will eventually push the BTC price back above $100,000. But When Will BTC Reach A New ATH? The crypto analyst takes a look at past Bitcoin performances in the analysis. The first of these was when the Bitcoin price had done its initial run from the $15,000 low recorded in 2022. Then, there was the rapid rise from $49,000 to $104,000 that took place in 2024. Last but not least was the notable 2025 rally that took the Bitcoin price to $126,000 all-time high of $126,000 in 2026. Related Reading: Expert Analyst Says Bitcoin Expansion Is Over, It Won’t Rally Until This Is Over All of these bull runs have seen the Bitcoin price rise more than 100% from its previous levels in order to make new all-time highs. Taking this into account, the crypto analyst believes that the next bull run could take the Bitcoin price between $150,000 and $200,000. Nevertheless, all of these continue to hinge on the improvement of macroeconomic factors. Most notably, the end of the Iran war is likely to be the catalyst that puts the digital asset on the way to its new all-time highs. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

The latest Bitcoin (BTC) price drop has raised concerns about the cryptocurrency’s upcoming performance, with some analysts warning that BTC’s next key closes could signal the start of another major correction. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bottom Not In? Analyst Warns DOGE’s Macro Downtrend Won’t Be Over Soon Bitcoin Risks Another Major Crash On Friday, Bitcoin plunged over 7% intraday to a three-week low of $65,700, raising concerns about the flagship crypto’s short- to mid-term performance. The cryptocurrency has been trading between the $65,000-$72,000 levels since the early February crash. After its latest drop, analyst Altcoin Sherpa noted that holding the current levels is crucial, as losing this boundary could quickly send BTC’s price 6%-10% down to the next support area, around $60,000-$62,000. Several market observers also warned that the cryptocurrency is currently breaking down a crucial bearish formation, which could also trigger a massive crash to newer lows if the price doesn’t bounce soon. Notably, Bitcoin has been forming a bear flag pattern on the daily timeframe for nearly two months, retesting the formation’s lower boundary on multiple occasions. However, BTC now risks losing this level as support, as it shows multiple concerning signs. Ted Pillows asserted on X that Bitcoin is not only dropping in price but also losing momentum as it has lost its RSI uptrend. “A major sign of weakness,” he added. The analyst also emphasized that BTC’s breakdown “is only a matter of when, not if,” cautioning that the flagship cryptocurrency has already broken down of a similar two-month bear flag pattern at the start of the year. Meanwhile, Ali Martinez suggested that BTC could drop another 30%-45% based on its historical performance over the past decade. As he explained, Bitcoin has kicked off new bull runs after dropping below its long-term holder realized price, and it’s −0.2 standard deviation band, located at the $48,387 and $36,657 levels, respectively. “I’ll be watching these zones for dip-buying opportunities ahead of the next bull cycle,” he stated. All Eyes On BTC’s Weekly Close Analyst Rekt Capital highlighted another concerning sign for Bitcoin, noting that BTC has once again dropped below the 200-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Amid this drop, the cryptocurrency is treating this level as resistance once more, putting the focus on the upcoming weekly close. The analyst previously explained that “If the 200-week EMA is lost as support this week and price Weekly Closes below it again, Bitcoin could actually turn the EMA into new resistance.” Last week, the largest crypto by market capitalization technically closed below the 200W EMA after attempting to “post-breakout retest” it as support, but failing to end the week above the $68,000 area. “That means that price technically kickstarted a breakdown from the EMA,” and a weekly close below this level would confirm it. Related Reading: Bitwise CIO Projects Circle To Hit $75B Valuation By 2030 Despite Selloff, Clarity Act Concerns “Given this latest Weekly Close, there is therefore scope for another dip into the 200-week EMA for another retest to see if BTC can solidify a reclaim into support,” he detailed, “But the overall suspicion has become confirmed: The 200-week EMA is acting as both an unreliable resistance and an unreliable support, never truly confirming a clear role.” The analyst concluded that the indecisiveness could lead to further retests of this area “before ultimately breaking down into additional Macro Downside over time.” As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at $65,600, a 6% decline in the weekly timeframe.
