Firelight, an onchain DeFi protection protocol built on the Flare Network, said it has surpassed 50 million XRP staked after multiple whale-sized deposits of more than 1 million XRP each. The project also raised its vault deposit cap from 25 million FXRP to 65 million FXRP after the initial ceiling was filled within six hours, with the updated limit reported to be more than halfway taken.

Solana (SOL) was rejected at $93 and then lost the $90 support zone, sliding to $88 and trading around $88.2 at press time, down 4.5%. Derivatives metrics turned risk-off as Futures netflow fell 547% to –$103 million and Open Interest dipped 2% to $5 billion. One analyst said a bearish-flag setup could open downside toward $40–$45, while spot ETF inflows of $4.5 million may help limit further weakness.

Bitcoin fell back below $70,500 and broke under $70,000 after failing to extend gains above $72,000.

The setup highlights resistance near $70,050 and outlines supports at $68,400 and $68,000 if downside resumes.

Ethereum held on exchanges has dropped to its lowest level since 2016, while Binance's ETH reserves are at their smallest since 2020, pointing to tighter circulating supply. On March 22, analyst Amr Taha flagged a $1.67 billion ETH withdrawal from OKX, and February saw roughly 31.6 million ETH leave major exchanges. Staking has also climbed to about 38 million ETH, around 33% of total supply, as ETH traded near $2,181 on March 25.

US Representative Maxine Waters is seeking details on the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's approval of a limited-purpose master account for Kraken Financial, after the Wyoming-chartered unit became the first crypto-native firm to obtain a Fed Master Account in March.

Ether (ETH) fell 6% between Wednesday and Thursday, retesting $2,050 as risk-off sentiment weighed on crypto markets. A sustained move above $2,400 may depend on reversing three signals: $298 million of net spot Ether ETF outflows since March 18, a weekly Ethereum DEX volume average of $9.4 billion (about 50% below late-2025 levels), and a 2% annualized premium in 2-month ETH futures.
