Dogecoin has stabilized near $0.094, with clusters holding 10M–100M DOGE adding exposure and analysts eyeing a possible path to $0.14–$0.15 if $0.105 is reclaimed. The article also flags downside risk below $0.088. Meanwhile, Maxi Doge’s presale has raised over $4.5M, reflecting rotation toward higher‑beta tokens.

On February 9, 2026, pro-crypto lawyer Bill Morgan argued that XRP was deliberately sidelined in favor of Bitcoin after a 2013 Felix Salmon article praising Ripple and XRP became difficult to access. He linked the redacted section of a recently released U.S. sensitive file and the apparent disappearance of the blog to alleged efforts to bury XRP's once positive and technically superior image, even as market data show Bitcoin still leading and XRP trading around $1.40 after recent declines.

Solana recently hit resistance at $84, triggering concerns over fading momentum and possible leverage unwinds, while its price struggles to reclaim the $90 region. At the same time, Bitcoin Hyper, a Bitcoin Layer 2 using Solana Virtual Machine technology, has raised $31.3M in its presale at a token price of $0.0136753. On-chain data points to whale accumulation in $HYPER, reflecting a rotation of capital from major altcoins into infrastructure focused on scaling Bitcoin.

In 2026, prediction markets suggest XRP has a relatively low probability of setting a fresh all‑time high, with confidence only modestly improving in the second half of the year. Implied odds for key dates such as March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2026 remain subdued, even after recent market repricing. XRP is currently trading below major moving averages after a sharp weekly decline, underscoring a broadly bearish technical backdrop despite occasional rebounds.

Ethereum reclaimed the $2,000 area after defending $1,700, with market participants watching $2,850 as a potential pivot toward $3,000. On chain metrics point to exchange reserves at multi year lows, and ETHE outflows have eased. Some capital is rotating to $BMIC, a quantum security project that reports over $441K raised at $0.049474 during its presale.

According to CoinShares, Bitcoin's exposure to quantum attacks is real but remains decades away, leaving time for potential soft-fork defenses. Meanwhile, focus is shifting to application-layer changes in the $85B creator economy, where SUBBD uses AI tools and Ethereum-based contracts. The project reports $1.47M raised, a first-year 20% APY staking option, and a presale price of $0.0574925.

Jack Dorsey's Block Inc. is preparing to cut about 10% of its workforce to limit total headcount to 12,000 employees, focusing on efficiency and agility rather than pure expansion. In parallel, the Bitcoin Hyper Layer 2 project, which integrates the Solana Virtual Machine with Bitcoin to address latency and fee constraints, has attracted more than $31.3M through its HYPER token presale. The token is priced at $0.0136753 during the sale, and the project promotes immediate staking with a 7-day vesting period for participants.

Ripple's XRP has suffered a 31% monthly decline and, on the daily chart, has fallen below the key $1.2 swing low, signaling a structural breakdown in price. The token is now interacting with a broader demand zone near $1.00, where remaining buy orders appear limited and sellers still dominate. On the 4-hour timeframe, price action shows a corrective bounce toward an internal supply region around $1.5, which traders may view as resistance within an ongoing bearish trend.
