Spot XRP ETFs have accumulated about $1.4 billion in total inflows since their late 2025 launch, even as XRP's price faced a broader market pullback. Recent regulatory filings show institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Millennium Management, Citadel Advisors, Jane Street, DRW Securities, and Wedbush Securities reporting exposure, while total net assets across these funds stand near $971 million, or roughly 1.16% of XRP's market capitalization.

In recent weeks, Bitcoin has seen its estimated leverage ratio on Binance fall from 0.198 in February to 0.152, while exchange reserves slid to an all‑time low of about 2.43 million BTC. At the same time, Bitcoin is trading near $71K after bouncing from the $65K area, with some analysts eyeing $75K–$80K targets as coins move off centralized platforms into self‑custody.

Bitcoin traded just over $70,000 after weeks of geopolitical tension involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran, showing a gain of about 4% in the past 24 hours. Analyst Markus Thielen views this resilience as a positive signal that could support a move back into the $70,000 to $80,000 band, with additional support from a deleveraged futures market and growing short interest.

River's RIVER token dropped 17% over the past 24 hours, extending a six-day losing streak and trading well below its January peak of $87. As Open Interest almost doubled to $2.33 million while the Money Flow Index sank to 14.24, leveraged short positioning and rising long liquidations pointed to further downside toward the $7.72 area.

On Tuesday, March 10, 2026, XRP's price advanced over 4.4% to trade above $1.43 while its derivatives funding rate surged by more than 311% in the prior 24 hours. Over the same period, XRP's funding rate reached $0.00619 and open interest increased by 2.43% to around $877 billion, reinforcing bullish sentiment even as the rate remained in negative territory and U.S. spot XRP ETFs saw three straight days of net outflows.

Bitcoin mining firm Canaan reported in its unaudited February update that it mined 86 BTC, increasing its Bitcoin holdings to 1,793 BTC and its Ether reserves to 3,952 ETH, both at record levels. The company also grew its installed hashrate to 14.75 EH/s and acquired a 49% stake in three West Texas mining projects for $39.75 million, even as many public miners have sold more than 15,000 BTC since October.

Bitcoin’s price action in early March showed a weak weekly close after touching $74k, as some institutions opted to sell while MicroStrategy increased its BTC holdings by $1.28 billion on 9 March. Bhutan reportedly sold nearly $12 million in Bitcoin and MARA offloaded 298 BTC around $69k, underscoring cautious positioning near the $75k resistance zone. Negative funding rates and mixed ETF and Coinbase flows suggest market sentiment remains defensive rather than strongly bullish.

Bitcoin climbed to a local high above $71,500 during Tuesday's U.S. session, mirroring a relief rebound in major stock indexes. Traders highlighted downside liquidity around $68,000 and resistance at the 50-day simple moving average near $73,640 as key levels that could attract renewed selling pressure.
