XRP is struggling to hold $1.35. The market is preparing for further downside. And beneath the price action, a quietly growing group of investors appears to have reached a different conclusion. Related Reading: Binance Inflows Suggest Money Is Starting to Move Back Into Crypto – Find Out What Changed Data published by analyst Darkfost identifies a behavioral divergence that the spot chart does not reflect. Despite one of the most hostile environments for altcoins in recent memory, XRP has maintained a well-defined range between $1.30 and $1.50 for several months — a degree of structural resilience that stands out against a broader altcoin market where more than 40% of assets have reached or approached all-time lows. The price tells one story. The on-chain data tells another. Since the end of February, Binance has recorded a clear resurgence in XRP activity — a pattern that Darkfost identifies as consistent with gradual accumulation rather than distribution. Investors are not selling into this range. A growing number of them are using it. XRP is still trading more than 60% below its last all-time high. That fact is not in dispute. What is in dispute is whether the current price represents a continuation of the decline or the quiet formation of a base that the broader market has not yet recognized. The data is beginning to suggest the latter. The price has not confirmed it yet. The Coins Are Leaving. The Question Is Where They Are Going and Why. Darkfost’s on-chain breakdown gives the accumulation signal its clearest form. Since the end of February, outflow transactions on Binance have surged — multiple days recording more than 4,000 transactions, with single-day peaks approaching 6,000. These are not large institutional movements happening out of sight. They are a high volume of individual withdrawal events, happening repeatedly, in the same direction, over an extended period. The transaction size profile is what makes the signal credible rather than coincidental. The activity is concentrated in the 1,000 to 100,000 XRP range — the bracket that corresponds to mid-sized investors rather than whales executing strategy or institutions rebalancing portfolios. Related Reading: XRP Holders Are Pulling Coins Off Exchanges – History Points To A Strong Move This is retail and semi-institutional capital making a deliberate decision: withdrawing XRP from the exchange, moving it into private custody, and removing it from the available sell-side pool. That behavior, repeated across thousands of transactions, is the definition of a gradual accumulation phase. Darkfost frames the forward question with appropriate precision. The accumulation is real and measurable. Whether it is sufficient to break XRP out of the $1.30–$1.50 range — and reignite a bullish trend that the broader altcoin market has failed to deliver this cycle — depends on whether this quiet buying pressure eventually overwhelms the overhead resistance that has capped every rally attempt since February. The base may be forming. The breakout has not arrived. XRP Holds Key Support as Downtrend Loses Momentum XRP is currently trading around the $1.30–$1.35 range, stabilizing after an extended downtrend that began near the $2.40 region earlier this year. The chart shows a clear sequence of lower highs and lower lows, confirming a persistent bearish structure over the past months. However, recent price action suggests a potential shift in momentum. Since the sharp selloff in February, XRP has entered a tight consolidation range, repeatedly finding support near the $1.25–$1.30 zone. This level has now been tested multiple times without a decisive breakdown, indicating that buyers are actively absorbing selling pressure. Related Reading: Crypto Market Open Interest Hits $30 Billion, Highest Since January: Leverage Returns To The Market From a trend perspective, XRP remains below the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, all of which are sloping downward. This reinforces that the broader trend is still bearish, and any short-term strength remains corrective rather than structural. Attempts to push higher have been limited. The rejection near the $1.50 level confirms it as a key resistance, capping upside momentum in the current range. Volume patterns add context. The largest spikes occurred during capitulation phases, while recent activity has normalized, suggesting reduced panic selling. Structurally, XRP is compressing. A break above $1.50 would signal recovery, while losing $1.25 could trigger another leg lower. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com
Record outflows and rising scarcity suggest accumulation, yet failure to break higher keeps setup unresolved.

Bittensor (TAO) has emerged as one of the market’s strongest performers this month, rallying roughly 73% over the past 30 days even as larger cryptocurrencies staged a more modest recovery. NVIDIA Nod Fuels TAO Rally Market analyst Alex Carchidi argues that a key catalyst was public recognition from a major tech figure. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang recently acknowledged decentralized AI training — the core use case Bittensor champions — as a practical approach after hearing about the project’s latest technical milestone. Related Reading: US Labor Department Eyes 401(k) Crypto Access, Bitcoin Considered In New Rule The analyst asserted that the endorsement amplified investor interest in the Bittensor blockchain by validating the concept that training large language models (LLMs) can be accomplished outside centralized data centers. Bittensor’s most recent achievement centers on its Templar subnet, which reportedly trained Covenant‑72B, a 72‑billion‑parameter LLM, through a decentralized collaboration involving more than 70 contributors using commercially available hardware. That accomplishment is noteworthy because large‑scale model training normally requires substantial capital and tightly controlled infrastructure; proving such a model can be trained in a distributed manner lends credibility to Bittensor’s thesis that subnets can marshal meaningful compute to build economically valuable services. Bittensor At Risk If Subnets Don’t Scale Carchidi also points to TAO’s tokenomics as a potential upside factor. The chain’s supply dynamics partially resemble Bitcoin’s (BTC), a design Cardichi finds appealing for long‑term appreciation if the network continues to produce in‑demand services. Still, he cautions that the project faces a critical shortcoming: so far, its subnets have not demonstrated robust, sustainable demand that translates into meaningful external revenue. The current economics underline that concern. The protocol’s distribution of newly minted TAO results in the top subnet receiving roughly $52 million in annualized subsidies from the chain, while that subnet brings in at most about $2.4 million in outside revenue. Across the entire Bittensor network, demand‑side revenue ranges from approximately $3 million to $15 million a year, set against a token market capitalization near $3.3 billion. Cardichi concluded that those figures create what he deems as “a valuation mismatch” that could put TAO’s price at risk if the subnets fail to scale revenue significantly. Key Price Levels To Watch Technical levels add another layer to the outlook. TAO was trading around $308 at the time of writing, with immediate resistance positioned near $315 after failing to consolidate above it during last week’s rally. Related Reading: XRP Price Alert: Expert Predicts $0.80 On Bitcoin’s Potential Retreat To $60,000 Analyst Ali Martinez had previously outlined a key conditional scenario for the Bittensor token. Should the support level of $315 hold, the rally could extend towards $580. This makes the $315 level one of the most important to reclaim right now. However, last week’s inability to breach mid‑term resistance at $378 contributed to the pullback to $308, leaving TAO almost 60% below its all‑time high of $757.

XRP continues to show signs of weakness as bearish pressure steadily builds beneath the surface. Despite brief relief bounces, the lack of strong follow-through highlights a market still firmly under seller control. With key resistance holding and downside structure intact, momentum appears to be shifting toward a deeper move, bringing the $0.87 support level increasingly into focus. XRP Struggles To Find Strength As Bearish Pressure Builds Crypto analyst CasiTrades recently revealed that XRP’s price action remains notably weak, signaling that a significant move to the downside is getting closer. There is a firm expectation that XRP will eventually move lower to reach established support levels. The prevailing sentiment is one of caution as the market prepares for a potential breakdown. Related Reading: XRP Nears Key Turning Point As Descending Wedge Tightens While the descent is taking its time, a process described as incredibly frustrating for those watching the charts, the trajectory remains pointed downward. This slow grind lower suggests that the final target hasn’t been met yet, even if the pace of the move has been sluggish. A defining characteristic of the current market is the extreme weakness seen in every attempted bounce. Relief moves are consistently being cut short around the .382 Fibonacci retracement level, a clear technical indicator that sellers remain firmly in control. CasiTrades highlighted that selling momentum picked up again within a 1-hour period on Monday. This sudden increase in activity suggests that the market will likely not stay slow for much longer. As the bears reassert their influence, the stage is set for a more volatile push toward the lower support zones mentioned in the analysis. $1.31 Emerges As Key Resistance Barrier According to CasiTrades, XRP is currently attempting to stabilize around the $1.31 level, but this zone is viewed as a key resistance area, specifically the Wave 4 extreme within the broader structure. The ongoing hesitation and lack of strong follow-through at this level come as no surprise, as price typically struggles when testing important resistance after a corrective move. Furthermore, the analyst emphasizes that once this level breaks, the downside could accelerate rapidly. Related Reading: XRP At Key Transition Zone, And History Says Move Is Near CasiTrades continues to track a developing Wave 3 move to the downside, with a primary target around $1.09 and possible subwave extensions reaching as low as $1.06. After that, a temporary Wave 4 relief bounce is expected to take place, with the price potentially retracing back into the $1.22 to $1.31 range before facing renewed resistance. From there, the broader trend is projected to continue lower toward the $0.87 macro support zone. While the move has been slower than anticipated, the overall structure remains intact, with price gradually aligning with the bearish outlook.

About 97% of the machines used to mine Bitcoin currently come from companies based in China. This heavy reliance on foreign technology has created a bottleneck at American ports and raised alarms about the long-term security of the network. Related Reading: Bitcoin ETFs Pull In $56B As CEO Pitches Crypto Over Gold To fix this, US Senators Bill Cassidy and Cynthia Lummis introduced the Mined in America Act. The bill aims to move the production of specialized computer chips and mining rigs onto American soil. Cleaning Up The Mining Supply Chain The proposed law creates a special “Mined in America” certification for data centers. To earn this label, a facility must prove it is not using equipment made by “foreign adversaries.” This would force a massive shift in how the industry operates. Right now, most miners buy their hardware from Chinese giants like Bitmain or MicroBT. Under the new rules, companies would have to phase out that gear in favor of US-made alternatives. It is a bold attempt to build a domestic industry from the ground up. Digital asset mining is a big part of our economy. We should be doing it here in America. Proud to introduce the Mined in America Act with @SenLummis, which secures supply chains, backs U.S. manufacturing, and supports this key industry.https://t.co/qZdv6SEe3g — U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (@SenBillCassidy) March 30, 2026 Reports indicate that federal agencies would play a major role in this transition. The National Institute of Standards and Technology would be tasked with helping US manufacturers develop more efficient chips. This move is designed to ensure that the US does not just host the mining power, but actually owns the technology behind it. By making the hardware at home, the industry could avoid the shipping delays and customs seizures that have slowed down growth over the last year. Connecting Mining To National Reserves The legislation does more than just worry about hardware. It also seeks to lock in a plan for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. US President Donald Trump has previously expressed support for the government holding a stockpile of the digital currency. This bill would codify that idea into law. It suggests that the Bitcoin held in this national reserve should ideally come from “Mined in America” facilities. This creates a direct link between national security and the computers humming in rural warehouses across the country.

Officials said the bill would use the Manufacturing Extension Partnership to give small and medium-sized American factories the tools they need to compete. The goal is to turn Bitcoin mining into a pillar of American industrial policy rather than just a niche financial activity. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
Ethereum is navigating a challenging market phase, with price facing persistent selling pressure despite a tightening supply landscape. On the charts, ETH has shown signs of weakness, with repeated rejections at key resistance levels and declining momentum suggesting that sellers remain in control in the short term. A significant portion of the ETH supply remains locked across staking contracts, effectively reducing the amount of liquid ETH available on the market. Locked Supply Continues To Tighten Circulating Ethereum Ethereum is experiencing selling pressure on the charts, but supply is being locked away through staking. An analyst known as Sjuul AltCryptoGems on X has pointed out that nearly 3 million ETH is reportedly waiting to be staked, with the entry queue stretching to around 50 days. Related Reading: Ethereum Supply Tightens As Staking And Outflows Hit Record Highs At the same time, the exit queue is almost empty, indicating that very few participants are withdrawing their holdings, which is a clear imbalance. If confidence were weak, exit activity would rise, and staking demand would slow down, but the opposite is playing out. Investors are continuing to lock up their ETH for months with a yield of around 2.7%. The total staked has now surpassed 38 million ETH, accounting for over 31% of the total supply, and the figure continues to grow despite the price trend lower. This divergence highlights a key dynamic. While the ETH price is showing weakness, the network participation is signaling strength. There are long waiting times to enter staking and almost no waiting time to exit. This kind of disconnection doesn’t last long. Right now, supply is being locked from circulation while demand is building. How Ethereum Long And Short Positions Shrink Across The Board The recent price weakness in Ethereum may be largely driven by a shift in positioning among hedge funds. According to crypto investor CW, data shows that hedge funds significantly reduced their long ETH positions about two weeks ago, particularly on Coinbase Derivatives, suggesting that many have either liquidated their holdings or exited trades to cut losses. Related Reading: Ethereum Staking Ratio Hits Record 31.4% As Exchange Supply Crashes To 2016 Lows This wave of long-position unwinding has added notable selling pressure, with the US hedge funds emerging as the primary force currently weighing on the market. There is a shift in sentiment that contrasts with that of other participants, as the dealers and asset managers are largely neutral or still maintain a slight advantage in long positions. CW argues that a meaningful full-scale rally will begin when hedge funds turn bullish. Activity in both long and short positions on Ethereum decreased compared to the previous day. CW has also noted that the high-leverage long positions are estimated at around $1.1 billion, while short positions significantly outweigh them at approximately $4.22 billion. However, if the ETH price rises by $100, several short positions would be liquidated. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Jed McCaleb, the founder of Ripple and Stellar (XLM), has announced plans to redirect a whopping $1 billion from his XRP fortune into a new investment outside the cryptocurrency space. The crypto founder and Silicon Valley billionaire is now turning his focus toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), aiming to build an AI system based on the human brain. Ripple Founder To Invest $1 Billion Into AI Research In an interview with Forbes, McCaleb disclosed plans to allocate approximately $1 billion from his estimated $3.9 billion in XRP holdings to fund efforts focused on AGI. The move comes after he previously dropped $1 billion to build a private space station in 2025. Related Reading: XRP Expert Says The Moment Has Finally Come, Here’s What He Means The new investment is expected to come through the Astera Institute, a non-profit research organization based in California that McCaleb founded. Recently, the institute has increased its focus on neuroscience-inspired approaches to AI development. As a result, in addition to the $1 billion allocation for the core AGI project, McCaleb stated that he will pledge another $600 million specifically toward neuroscience research. The Ripple founder shared his ambitious goal of studying the human brain as a model for building more capable, potentially safer artificial intelligence systems. He noted that researchers at the Astera Institute intend to use brain-computer interfaces to record neural activity patterns in mice as they perform everyday tasks, such as navigating mazes. They would then record and use these biological data and insights to design completely new AI systems that go beyond today’s popular transformer models. In the interview, McCaleb expressed skepticism about current mainstream AI methods. He pointed out that while transformers, a type of AI model, are good at making predictions, they struggle with long-term planning, decision-making, and self-driven goals. He believes using a brain-inspired framework could create an AI system that is easier for humans to understand and control. Interestingly, McCaleb described his time in cryptocurrency as “a big detour” from his deeper interest in AI. He explained that he had always wanted to work in artificial intelligence but only found the opportunity after stepping back from the cryptocurrency industry. He expressed strong belief in his ambitions, declaring that “AI is going to be the most transformative thing that humans ever create.” Although he remains a pivotal figure in Ripple’s history, McCaleb left the company and sold all his XRP by 2022. A Quick Dive Into McCaleb’s Role In Ripple and XRP McCaleb initially entered the crypto industry as a programmer with previous experience running the now-defunct Mt. Gox, one of the earliest major Bitcoin exchanges. In 2011, he began developing the Ripple protocol and later recruited key figures like former Ripple CTO David Schwartz. Related Reading: XRP Global Distribution Shows The Major Holders And What It’s Being Used For In 2022, McCaleb co-founded OpenCoin, which later became Ripple Labs, now Ripple. He founded the company alongside Chris Larsen and served as CTO while contributing to the development of the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Following XRPL’s launch, McCaleb and other early co-founders each received personal stakes worth approximately 9 billion XRP, around 9% of the total supply. This allocation contributed significantly to his personal wealth today. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com
