On Deribit’s Crypto Options Unplugged (yes, that’s a real thing), Kendrick, the bank’s digital assets guru, spilled the tea: Bitcoin’s still hitting $100K by year-end and a cool $500K by 2030. But first, a quick dip to $50K because, you know, why not? “Picking the bottom is hard,” he sighed, like a man who’s lost his keys in a club at 3 AM. The selloff? Mostly orderly, except for those weeks when it went full chaos. Institutional investors? Holding on tighter than a clutch bag at a wedding.

But hold your horses! According to those clever folks at CryptoQuant, the spot trading volume for SUI has been doing the macarena-falling since October 2025 and showing no signs of stopping. Despite a whimsical 64% leap in daily trading volume, the long-term trends are cooler than a cucumber in a freezer.

Ali Martinez, Crypto Guru Extraordinaire (probably makes more money from YouTube than trading), gasped, “WLD almost kissed $0.366! That’s the same level it’s been eyeing since last month’s group therapy session!” Miraculously, it’s up 6.5% from its “I give up” low of $0.356. Cue the confetti.

The bears have taken the reins, and XRP is feeling the squeeze like a lemon at a lemonade stand. Stuck below the $2 mark, it’s as if the poor thing is glued to the floor. And what’s the telltale sign of this misery? Why, it’s the ever-growing pile of XRP tokens drowning in the red ink of loss. Steph, the crypto sage, chimed in on X (formerly known as the place where birds chirp), using Glassnode’s fancy charts to reveal that a whopping 36.8 billion XRP tokens are currently underwater. That’s right, nearly 60% of the circulating supply is taking a bath, and it ain’t the refreshing kind.

As BTC flirts once more with the $71,000 threshold-a number as arbitrary as a taxidermied walrus in a ballroom-the financial soothsayers debate: Is this collective institutional agony a harbinger of doom, or merely the siren song of contrarian opportunists?

On the 8th of March, Zeiler, now wearing the flashy hat of a developer evangelist at the Yellow Network, took to X to spill the beans on why Codius never quite hit the big leagues. Built with gusto after leaving Ripple, Codius had all the technical bells and whistles, but – plot twist – lacked a token. Zeiler insisted that without a token to lure early adopters, the project was doomed to fester in the blockchain shadows like an unclaimed library book. He even compared it to Ethereum, which, with its clever little ETH token, had people queuing up like it was Black Friday at a tech bazaar.

Well, shucks, the crypto market decided to put on a show, with its total capitalization climbing to a whopping $2.39 trillion. Bitcoin, that ol’ reliable rascal, traded near $70,314, leading the pack like a hound dog after a squirrel. What a time to be alive-or at least, to be a spectator in this financial three-ring circus.

Behold the XRP/USDT chart, a veritable tapestry woven with threads of despair as it languishes within the confines of a broad descending channel. Here we find our hero, trading at a paltry $1.41, cowering beneath the shadows of the 100-day and 200-day moving averages. The dotted trendline and the elusive $1.80 zone loom like distant fortresses, ever-capable of thwarting any valiant attempts at resurgence.

Yet, my dear reader, let us not be swayed by such theatrics. For beneath this veneer of triumph lies a tale as discordant as a harpsichord played by a bear. The on-chain activity, that steadfast arbiter of truth, tells a story far less flattering than the one paraded before us.

Latest developments: In a stunning turn of events, Rick Edelman, on CoinDesk’s Markets Outlook, said the ongoing spat over stablecoin yield is threatening any hope of progress on legislation. The crypto market, it seems, is now at risk of being suffocated by regulatory red tape-and not just any red tape, but one that could be written in the ink of old, scared bankers.
