Solana's SOL has dropped nearly 40% over the past month, briefly hitting about $77 before rebounding above $80. Analysts including Ali Martinez and Sjuul warn that resistance near $110 and a January 2022 sell signal raise downside risks, with key support at $76 and potential paths toward $53, $35, $23 or even around $4.

On Feb. 21, on-chain metrics flagged a sharp surge in XRP deposits to Binance led by large holders. According to CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost, more than 31 million XRP flowed in, dominated by the 100k–1M and >1M cohorts, increasing near-term sell-side risk while Bitcoin remains rangebound. XRP briefly fell to $1.33 before trading around $1.3947.

On 16 February 2026, Arizona’s Senate Finance Committee approved a bill to establish a state-managed Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund using seized cryptocurrencies instead of taxpayer money. The proposal, filed on 3 February 2026 by Mark Finchem, names Bitcoin, XRP and DigiByte as eligible assets, and could make Arizona the first U.S. state to formally include XRP in a government reserve structure. Under the plan, the State Treasurer would oversee custody, investment and potential lending of these digital assets within strict risk and storage rules.

According to Lookonchain data reviewed on February 23, Vitalik Buterin sold 1,869 ETH worth about $3.67 million over the past 48 hours.

On February 21, Santiment reported XRP registered its steepest on-chain realized-loss spike since November 2022, with the last comparable episode 39 months ago when losses were around $1.93 billion. That capitulation was followed by a 114% eight-month rally; if history rhymes, a comparable rebound could target $2.70–$2.80, though XRP recently traded near $1.39 amid near-term weakness.

In a report on February 23, 2026, the Bank of Korea urged that only licensed commercial banks be allowed to issue won-backed stablecoins at the outset. Options under debate include a bank-led consortium with at least 51% equity control and 100% reserves in high-quality liquid assets, following a February Bithumb error involving $40 billion that heightened stability concerns.

Shiba Inu fell under $0.000006 after months of weakness and is attempting to stabilize just beneath that level. The token faces initial support near $0.0000055, with deeper interest seen around $0.0000050, while resistance stands at $0.000006 and $0.0000065. Momentum remains muted, keeping focus on whether bulls can reclaim lost ground in the near term.

Ether is moving toward a test of the $1,500 support area after breaking down from a bear pennant pattern, with a chart-based objective near $1,475 by late February or early March. At the same time, Vitalik Buterin’s Kanro entity has been selling part of a planned 16,384 ETH allocation, and onchain data indicate roughly 7,000-plus ETH still remain to be distributed. This combination of technical weakness and ongoing founder-linked supply could keep downside pressure on the ETH price in the near term.
