On February 18, 2026, World Liberty Financial (WLFI) advanced about 20% to trade near $0.118, challenging the $0.12 resistance. On-chain data indicated a new wallet withdrew 25 million tokens (~$2.75M) ahead of the Mar‑a‑Lago World Liberty Forum. According to Onchain Lens, 313.31M WLFI worth $33.76M moved off Binance within 11 hours, alongside volume surging over 120%.

On February 18, 2026, the full exit of Founders Fund from ETHZilla was confirmed. ETHZilla shares traded near $3.20 in premarket, almost 7% lower and 97% below the $107 peak. The firm sold $40 million in ETH for buybacks and $74.5 million to manage debt, and is shifting toward tokenized real‑world assets.

On February 18, data attributed to Santiment showed Ethereum's proof-of-stake deposit contract holding over 80.9 million ETH, crossing the halfway mark of the network's historical issuance under a specific calculation method. The contract works as a one-way vault where staked ETH is locked to help secure the network and can only be released through validator exits and new issuance. Analysts highlight that the "50%" figure is based on historical supply and does not necessarily mean half of the currently circulating ETH is staked.

XRP Ledger payment activity has contracted sharply, with transaction flows down nearly 90% from an early‑February high. The network briefly saw multi‑billion‑unit daily payments before momentum faded and volumes reverted to baseline. The decline coincides with a fragile price setup, as XRP remains in a broader downward channel and has yet to reclaim key moving averages.

According to Santiment, Solana (SOL) investment products registered $11.9M in outflows, marking the second-largest ETF withdrawal in the asset's history as its market capitalization has dropped 62% over the past four months. While this pressure weighs on SOL, the Sushi decentralized exchange has launched on Solana using Jupiter's Ultra API to offer high-speed token swaps and cross-chain trading, with Tramplin preparing a premium staking rollout on the same network.

A Tuesday SEC amendment shows Peter Thiel-linked Founders Fund entities now report owning zero ETHZilla shares, after disclosing a 7.5% stake on Aug. 4, 2025. ETHZilla raised $425 million in July 2025 and later sold 24,291 ETH for $74.5 million in December 2025 to repay debt, leaving about 69,800 ETH.

Franklin Templeton's first Form 10-Q for the Franklin XRP ETF (ticker XRPZ) shows the fund held more than 118 million XRP by the end of 2025, alongside $243.60 million in assets under management. While XRP ETFs collectively control $1.06 billion, representing about 1.17% of XRP's total market cap, recent data indicate that daily net inflows across the five leading issuers have stalled at $0.00 after a volatile two-week stretch.

XRP climbed from a 15‑month low of $1.12 on Feb. 6 to a recent high of $1.67, while still trading more than 60% below its multi‑year peak of $3.66. Onchain data, derivatives indicators and spot XRP ETF flows suggest the $1.12 level could mark a local bottom and raise the odds of a bullish reversal. Falling exchange balances, deeply negative funding, positive spot taker CVD and persistent ETF inflows together point to reduced selling pressure and returning demand.
