Ethena's ENA climbed to a local high near $0.12 on 4 March before slipping about 15% over the next 48 hours. With the broader trend still bearish since August and key supports like $0.21 already lost, technical levels now point toward a possible move down to around $0.085 in the coming week.

According to an analysis using OpenAI's ChatGPT, XRP has about a 22% chance of trading at $5 at some point in 2026, with the token more likely to remain in lower price bands. At the time of the assessment, XRP changed hands around $1.37 after a 1.7% daily decline, though it was still over 5% higher on the week. The AI-driven outlook maps several scenarios for XRP between $1 and above $5, reflecting different market, adoption, and macroeconomic conditions.

Over the past week, XRP has gained 6.29%, but price action has now converged near the middle Bollinger Band, signaling a key decision zone around current levels. Trading between $1.35 and $1.41 in the last 24 hours and now near $1.36, XRP is testing support at $1.30, with broader macro headwinds and weaker volume weighing on sentiment. A sustained defense of $1.30 could open a move back toward $1.42 or higher, while a breakdown risks selling pressure that might drag the price toward $1.20 or even below $1 in extreme scenarios.

Justin Bons has warned that advances in quantum computing could eventually expose the privacy of Zcash and Monero by breaking elliptic curve cryptography once public keys are revealed. He argues that users needing long-term, life-or-death anonymity should consider mixers that do not rely on zero-knowledge proofs, while other research suggests the broader quantum risk to major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin is not yet imminent.

The move strengthens Cardano's role in real-world asset tokenization and follows network growth that lifted its DeFi total value locked to $450M by March 2025, while ADA trades near $0.27 amid cautious market sentiment and wide-ranging 2026 price projections.

Prediction platform Kalshi is facing a class action filed in the US District Court for the Central District of California over how it settled a market on whether Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei would leave office by March 1. Plaintiffs say a "death carveout" rule applied after reports of Khamenei's death on Feb. 28 led to partial payouts based on the final traded price instead of the full $1 per winning contract, while Kalshi argues the clause was meant to stop users from profiting directly from a person's death and later reimbursed fees and net losses.

In the first trading week of March, US spot ETFs tracking Ripple's XRP recorded their first weekly net outflows since late January, as daily redemptions peaked at $16.62 million on Friday.

On 7 March 2026, Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority ordered several entities connected to KuCoin to halt all virtual asset activities in the emirate for operating without the required VARA license. The notice bans KuCoin-branded marketing and alleges the exchange misrepresented its regulatory status, leaving Dubai users without local investor protections and potentially exposed to legal consequences if they continue using the platform. KuCoin faces additional regulatory penalties in the U.S., Canada, and Austria despite a stated compliance-first shift under CEO BC Wong since January 2025.
