On Saturday, March 7, analytics data showed Shiba Inu's 24-hour exchange netflow dropping to -131,956,300,000 SHIB, indicating significantly more tokens leaving exchanges than arriving. At the same time, SHIB open interest in derivatives markets increased by 2.24% to over 10.09 trillion tokens in active contracts, hinting at rising speculative positioning amid a price decline of more than 4%.

Hyperliquid’s sovereign Layer-1 and on-chain order book are built to support 24/7 derivatives trading with median block finality near 0.2 seconds.

XRP is drawing strong bullish projections as analyst CryptoBull argues that its current price structure mirrors the 2017 pattern, pointing to a move toward $10 to $11 by the end of March. Building on the same fractal idea, commentator Remi Relief reiterated a far more aggressive cycle target between $1,200 and $1,700, despite acknowledging delays in the move. These forecasts contrast with XRP's present price near $1.37, highlighting a sharp gap between current valuations and the speculative upside some traders are expecting.

Zcash's price fell 8.29% to around $207 after being rejected at $251 and losing the $250 support, putting the $200 level at risk. On-chain and market data showed rising sell-side volume, negative demand indicators, and reduced buy-side liquidity, while some exchange outflows signaled dip-buying that could help ZEC reclaim resistance near $238 or, if selling persists, slide towards $185.

XRP saw a sharp increase in derivatives activity on BitMEX as futures volume climbed 1,185.33% to $17.06 million within 24 hours. Over the same period, XRP's spot price dropped 2.14% to $1.36 amid broader crypto weakness and elevated end-of-week volatility. Despite the sell-off that followed a move to $1.47 on March 4, XRP remains modestly higher over the week while institutional clients of Ripple Prime gain access to Coinbase futures including XRP.

On February 27, on-chain data highlighted a withdrawal of about 44 million XRP from whale wallets on Binance, following an earlier 30 million XRP outflow on February 6. The moves, flagged via the Multi Exchanges Daily Whales Netflow metric, point to sustained negative netflows, which can imply reduced selling pressure and potential accumulation. With XRP trading around $1.37 after a 2.9% daily decline, analysts note that persistent demand alongside falling exchange supply could support a bullish price trajectory.

According to CoinMarketCap and Glassnode, the memecoin market cap has fallen 48% over the past year and 6.9% over the past month, while PEPE remains notably weak. PEPE is trading below the $0.00000342 support with bearish short- and long-term charts, and large overhead short liquidation levels suggest a possible short squeeze if prices reverse. However, with Bitcoin recently dropping below $70k and at risk of testing the $63k–$65k region or lower, traders are urged to be patient.

On 7 March 2026, analysis showed Iran had built a roughly $7.8 billion crypto market in 2025, with wallets linked to the IRGC responsible for more than half of Q4 inflows. After U.S.-Israeli strikes on 28 February 2026, outflows from Iranian exchanges jumped 700% within minutes, while U.S. authorities moved from targeting single wallets to sanctioning entire platforms. Ordinary Iranians, facing 40–50% inflation and a weakening rial, increasingly turned to Bitcoin and stablecoins, even as domestic regulators ordered exchanges to halt certain USDT-rial trades.
