Cardano’s price has been sliding for months, with crypto analyst Lingrid warning that ADA could extend its decline while trading below key resistance around $0.26–$0.27. The coin remains under a descending trendline and has logged five straight red monthly closes, with March already down more than 11%. Historical data from 2021–2022 show a similar six-month red streak that was followed by a brief rebound and then deeper losses, and Lingrid suggests a comparable pattern could emerge again if bulls fail to reclaim higher levels.

On March 8, Hyperliquid's HYPE token traded around $30–31, with daily technicals showing price near the upper Bollinger Band and an RSI near 47, indicating neutral momentum.

From March 9 to 13, crude oil prices around $116 per barrel and several key US inflation releases are setting the stage for heightened volatility in crypto markets. With February CPI due Wednesday and January PCE data arriving Friday ahead of the March 18 Fed meeting, Bitcoin, Ether and the broader digital asset sector face renewed macroeconomic pressure. Over the weekend, the total crypto market cap fell by $40 billion to $2.36 trillion as traders reacted to surging energy costs and risk-off sentiment.

World Liberty Financial, a crypto project backed by Donald Trump and his family, is holding a governance vote from March 6 to March 13, 2026 on a proposal that links voting rights to staking WLFI tokens for 180 days. The plan introduces a lock-based voting formula, node tiers requiring stakes of 10 million and 50 million WLFI, and a 2% estimated annual yield, while critics highlight that early investors are forced to lock their only unlocked tokens and that team-linked wallets already control around 59% of voting power. The project has raised between $550 million and $590 million across two token sales, its USD1 stablecoin has roughly $4.7 billion in circulation, and Trump-related entities are entitled to 75% of net revenue.

In February, Solana processed about $650 billion in stablecoin transactions, reflecting a major shift in on-chain dollar settlement away from earlier leaders.
