XRP is consolidating beneath the $1.65–$1.70 resistance band as an ascending triangle takes shape, a setup one analyst says often precedes a breakout. The analysis assigns roughly 65% odds to an upside break and about 35% to a rejection if no catalyst emerges, with the proposed Clarity Act cited as a potential trigger. XRP was last noted at $1.43, down 0.9% over 24 hours, up 3.4% in seven days, and down 2.2% on the month.

On March 18, Bitwise research head André Dragosch said institutions accumulated over 81,200 BTC over the past month, versus just over 13,300 BTC of newly issued supply. The total included more than 34,400 BTC via Bitcoin ETPs and over 46,800 BTC by treasury companies, with Strategy accounting for 46,400+ BTC. Bitcoin last traded at $69,216.06, down 3.1% on the day and 1% on the week, while up 3.5% over the past month.

XRP is trading at $1.43, up 3.7% on the day, 1.9% over the week, and 4.7% during the past month.

On March 11, Bitcoin commentator Marty Bent alleged that Coinbase was telling US lawmakers a proposed de minimis tax exemption on small Bitcoin payments was unnecessary and pushing instead for stablecoin-oriented rules. Coinbase policy chief Faryar Shirzad and CEO Brian Armstrong both denied the accusation, calling it a lie and "totally false." The dispute centers on a bill that would exempt up to $300 per Bitcoin transaction, capped at $5,000 annually, and has drawn in figures like Jack Dorsey as debate grows over Bitcoin's role as everyday money.

On March 10, on-chain charts shared by Bitcoinsensus showed Ethereum (ETH) balances in accumulation wallets rising sharply after years of steady growth. These long-term holding addresses have been increasing their ETH exposure even as the price trades around $2,018.89, with recent data showing a 0.2% daily dip, 2.6% weekly gain, and 5.2% decline over the past month. Analysts suggest this rapid build-up could signal reduced selling pressure and growing conviction among major investors.

On March 6, on-chain data provider Santiment reported that the number of Bitcoin non-empty wallets has surged to an all-time high of 58.45 million, up about 1.69 million in the last six months.

Bitcoin was trading around $69,973.03 at press time, after a 3.4% daily decline but a 5.9% gain over the previous week.

On March 6, wallets attributed to trading firm Jane Street transferred a combined 270 BTC, valued at roughly $19 million, to the exchanges Bullish.com and LMAX Digital. The series of moves, recorded within about two hours, has drawn interest from market watchers because such large flows can precede institutional trading activity, even though the specific intent remains uncertain.

Russia's central bank is working on rules that would let domestic banks and brokerage firms operate cryptocurrency exchanges under their existing licenses. Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina outlined the plan at a meeting with lending institutions, where she said firms could enter the market via a notification procedure and face a 1% capital limit on crypto activities. The proposal is part of a broader digital asset framework that treats crypto and stablecoins as financial assets while keeping them banned as a means of payment.

An Ethereum trader using wallet 0xC45A realized roughly $991,000 in profit by buying and selling 3,000 ETH between late February and early March. The wallet withdrew the ETH from Binance around February 24 at about $1,853 per coin and sent it back to the exchange when the price climbed above $2,180, capitalizing on a rebound in the ETH market.
