Crypto analyst Amonyx has highlighted a CNBC segment in which XRP was labeled the top crypto trade ahead of Bitcoin and Ethereum, amid ongoing investor inflows into XRP exchange‑traded funds. CNBC's Mackenzie Sigalos pointed to XRP's 20% gain at the start of the year, its cross‑border payment utility, and growing tokenization activity on the XRP Ledger as factors behind the interest. SoSoValue data shows XRP ETFs now hold $1.02 billion in net assets, equal to 1.20% of XRP's market cap, even though recent weekly inflows still trail those of BTC, ETH, and SOL funds.

OKB remains under pressure as OKX upgrades its OnchainOS infrastructure with a new AI toolkit designed for autonomous on-chain agents. The token trades near $75.88 with neutral momentum, well below its all-time high of $255.50 reached in August 2025. Key levels include support around $73.31–$72.62 and resistance zones near $76.77 and $82.47, with further upside targets at $93.50 and $104.84 if bullish volume returns.

Versan Aljarrah of Black Swan Capitalist argues that XRP’s long-term potential goes beyond payments and bridge liquidity, proposing it as a neutral settlement layer in a digitized global financial system. He outlines a three-pillar path involving sovereign adoption, regulatory clarity through measures like the CLARITY Act, and eventual institutional recognition by bodies such as the IMF. In his view, XRP’s value would ultimately be driven by settlement utility and liquidity corridors rather than speculative price predictions, and at press time the token was trading at $1.3576.

On 2 March, Judge Katherine Polk Failla of the Southern District of New York dismissed with prejudice a case that sought to hold Uniswap CEO Hayden Adams and Uniswap Labs liable for scam tokens traded on the platform. The ruling found that open-source smart contract developers cannot be held responsible for alleged rug pulls and pump-and-dump schemes executed by unidentified third-party token issuers, and Uniswap's UNI token rose about 5% following the decision.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has criticized Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse's support for the Clarity Act, arguing that the proposed H.R. 3633 framework would initially treat tokens like XRP as securities. He warned that legacy assets could be constrained at launch and that the bill could expose future U.S. crypto projects to regulatory attacks, even as Garlinghouse continues to call for clearer rules over regulatory chaos.

NEAR Protocol (NEAR) is dominating the March 3, 2026 market, surging 15% intraday to reach $1.41. Driven by the explosive launch of Confidential Intents and the near.com AI super app, NEAR has outperformed the broader crypto sector with a 40% weekly gain. Discover if the "Blockchain for AI" can break through the $1.65 resistance as institutional demand for private on-chain execution reaches new highs.

Decred’s price has slipped about 10% in the last day after a rejection near the $34.40 supply zone and is now probing a major demand area around $28. On-chain indicators and momentum signals appear mixed, with neutral readings, a drop in transaction count, and dormant whales contrasting with rising long positions and growing buyer dominance. The reaction around $28 is likely to define DCR’s next move, either setting up a short-term rebound toward mid-range resistance or opening the door to a deeper decline if support breaks.

Solana has retreated from the $90 area and is now trading below $88 but still above $85 and the 100-hour simple moving average. The SOL/USD pair is supported by a bullish trend line near $85, while key resistance levels are seen at $88, $90, and $92. A break above $92 could open the way toward $96 and possibly $100, whereas failure to clear $90 may trigger declines toward $84, $82, or even $76.50.
