Ex-Ripple Engineer Details Codius Failure as Bitcoin Turns Green in March and Shiba Inu Hits Max Pain Zone

In early March 2026, former Ripple senior engineer Steven Zeiler outlined why the Codius decentralized computing project failed, highlighting the absence of a native token and related incentives. Over the same period, Bitcoin posted a modest 1% monthly gain after double-digit losses in January and February, while Shiba Inu approached a key "max pain" liquidation area that could reset leveraged positions. Traders are also preparing for the U.S. CPI release on March 11, which may influence positioning in BTC, XRP and SHIB.
