A market report says XRP is being supported by strong retail demand and expanding utility, even as institutional flows remain comparatively cautious. Weekly ETF data showed $95 million in net inflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs and $20 million for Solana ETFs, while Ethereum saw $60 million in outflows and XRP ETFs recorded $0.6 million in positive flows. On-chain, the XRP Ledger set a milestone with 5.66 million wallets holding under 100 XRP.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) was down 0.51% week over week, and the memecoin segment showed limited movement among major names. On-chain indicators point to stressed holders, with percent supply in profit at 3.07% at the time of writing and MVRV sitting at an extreme deviation. If the 2022-style pattern repeats, the bearish cycle could extend until September 2026.

On March 22, 2026, SOL was trading around $89, with the article noting it remained below the 100-day moving average despite holding near key technical levels. It also highlighted network activity and adoption signals, including Solana tokenized real-world assets topping $1.7B in March 2026 and a reported $900 million+ in 2026 net inflows into Solana-based spot ETFs. On the infrastructure side, the Alpenglow upgrade targets 100–150ms finality, while Firedancer is said to run on 20%+ of validators and exceed 1M TPS in tests.

On 22 March 2026, social and search activity highlighted Quant (QNT), Bittensor (TAO), Litecoin (LTC) and Solana (SOL) as the week's most-discussed altcoins. QNT traded at $76.19 (+13.78% weekly) after Robinhood enabled spot trading, while TAO hovered around $278-$281 after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang mentioned Bittensor. LTC sat near multi-year lows at $54.73, and SOL traded at $88.20 amid weakening momentum and renewed debate tied to comments from Solana Foundation president Lily Liu.

Anthony Scaramucci, founder of venture firm SkiBridge, said Polkadot is "quietly rebuilding momentum", citing a recent SEC classification of DOT as a digital commodity and a tokenomics overhaul that caps supply at 2.1 billion. He also pointed to the 21Shares Spot DOT ETF, which has recorded just one inflow day of $544.5K since launch while the rest of March showed zero flows. Separately, Polkadot's usage has weakened, with weekly average active addresses falling from 16K to 5K over the past two years.

XRP has struggled to push above $1.60 even as retail participation climbed to a record 5.66 million addresses holding under 100 XRP. March data also showed a rebound in larger cohorts, with 100–100K XRP wallets at 2.01 million and whale flows turning positive, while price action stayed capped in a $1.3–$1.6 range.

Solana is consolidating just below the $92–$95 resistance area, with analysts watching for a decisive break above $95 that could open a move toward $100–$105. A separate technical read points to weakening RSI on the USDT pair and warns that a breakdown could drag price toward $78–$75, with additional downside targets cited at $77 and $67. The setup also references a March 18 SEC classification of SOL as a digital commodity, though momentum indicators are described as fading.

Bittensor (TAO) is drawing attention after NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang highlighted a 72-billion-parameter model trained by 70+ contributors over the regular internet, described as the largest model built on fully decentralized infrastructure. TAO is up 24% year-to-date, while data points such as 75% of supply staked, $43 million in Q1 revenue, and steady buyer pressure since the $154 low are being cited to support analyst discussions around a potential move to $1,000.
