Solana researchers have presented "Constellation," a protocol proposal that replaces single-leader block production with multiple concurrent proposers to curb MEV and reduce validator influence over transaction ordering. The design adds "attesters" to timestamp submissions and uses fixed economic ticks of around 50 milliseconds to set more predictable windows for transaction inclusion.

Ether's readily tradable supply is shrinking as staking participation climbs and exchange-held balances continue to decline. About 38.1 million ETH, or roughly 33.1% of the total supply, was staked on Wednesday, while large exchange outflows and multi-year-low reserves suggest fewer coins are immediately available for spot trading.

Bittensor's TAO rose to $350 after the network completed its first halving, reducing emissions and lifting the AI-linked token to its strongest levels in about four months. Analysts highlighted liquidity up to $340 and said the trend could stay constructive if TAO holds above $300, while broader positioning raised the odds of sharp moves around $360.

On March 25, 2026, Solana traded around $92.40 as the network highlighted 15 million on-chain payments initiated by autonomous AI agents.

The Ethereum Foundation has introduced its 2029 “Strawmap,” a seven–hard fork plan designed to move the network to post-quantum cryptography while also cutting block finality to under 16 seconds. The sequence is set to begin in 2026 with the Glamsterdam fork in the first half of the year, followed by Hegota later in 2026, as Ethereum works toward STARK-based signatures and Single Slot Finality.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies said it launched MAVAN (Made in America Validator Network) on Wednesday to stake and generate yield from its ETH treasury. The company reported 3,142,643 ETH on the platform at launch, valued at about $6.8 billion using an ETH price of $2,148 at 5:00 p.m. ET on March 24, 2026. Bitmine also disclosed an SEC 8-K filing dated March 25, 2026 and said it is opening MAVAN to institutional clients.

Ripple said on March 25 it joined the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) BLOOM initiative, bringing XRP Ledger (XRPL) infrastructure and Ripple USD (RLUSD) into programmable settlement models.

XRP’s 30-day realized volatility on Binance fell back below 0.5 on March 25 as the token traded around $1.42.

Historically, similar volatility compression has coincided with sharp rebounds, including a rally of over 20% to about $2.40 on January 6, 2026.
