Hyperliquid (HYPE) ignited a viral narrative on March 2, 2026, as the "24/7 safe-haven" choice for global funds. With traditional markets closed over the weekend, traders flooded the platform for oil and gold perps, driving a 13% price surge and record open interest of $1.1 billion. Discover why $HYPE is decoupling from Bitcoin and if this structural shift can propel it past its $59 all-time high.

Jupiter (JUP) rebounded from $0.14 to a two-week high of $0.176. As of writing, it traded near $0.172, up 17.13% on the day, with rising futures netflows and open interest even as long/short ratios below 1 on Binance and OKX signaled caution. Spot inflows outpaced outflows, increasing the risk of a pullback toward $0.14.

PUMP's price has stayed locked in a range between $0.0017 and $0.0034 since December, with a recent shift toward a bearish bias as the $0.00225 higher low gave way. Despite a 7.9% daily gain and a 9.61% rise in trading volume, indicators show indecision, and traders are cautioned to treat rallies toward $0.0022–$0.0024 as potential liquidity hunts and be ready to sell into short-term strength if real spot demand fails to appear.

USELESS Coin climbed over 17% in the past 24 hours, per TradingView, while inflows from top PnL traders, whales, and new wallets accelerated, according to Nansen AI. Price action tested the $0.036 support and $0.045 resistance, with MACD signaling growing seller momentum and CHOP at 49.26 hinting at a fading trend. A break above $0.045 could target $0.055, while sub-$0.036 risks deeper losses.

According to Lookonchain, Vitalik Buterin appears to have completed an Ethereum selling plan that began on February 2, unloading 19,326 ETH for $39.36 million at an average of $2,037. With ETH above $2,000, traders say a push over $2,100 could confirm a reversal toward $2,400 if $1,900–$1,950 support holds, while CryptoQuant notes rising accumulation.

Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) is trading near $0.70 on the 4‑hour chart after a rebound from $0.64, compressing beneath the $0.70–$0.72 barrier. Momentum and participation have increased, and a 4‑hour close above $0.7416 would keep focus on $0.84–$0.90, while rejection leaves $0.65 and $0.62 as nearby supports.

On March 1, 2026, XRP community member WrathofKahneman highlighted a GitHub proposal for an XRP Ledger options sidechain after XRPL Labs engineer Denis Angell teased it as "Something big." The plan outlines American-style options, up to 200x leveraged margin trading and a trustless bridge secured by XRPL validators, plus native webAuthn/FIDO2 passkey support for authentication.

In an X post Sunday, Vitalik Buterin outlined two execution-layer changes for Ethereum: moving to a binary state tree (EIP-7864) and, over time, replacing the EVM with RISC-V. He said these components account for more than 80% of proving bottlenecks. The state-tree proposal has been in draft since January 2025, while the VM path is more speculative and faced a November 2025 rebuttal from Offchain Labs favoring WASM.
