The notion of Bitcoin’s dry powder is disproven—low SSR results from outflows, not new buyers.
The Stablecoin Supply Ratio fell to 9.36, a level usually tied to strong buying power. Analyst Axel Adler Jr. says the drop stems from capital exiting Bitcoin, not from stablecoin accumulation. Both Bitcoin’s market cap and USDT supply contracted, turning the SSR into a false bullish cue. USDT’s market cap peaked at $187.2 bn on Dec 30, 2025, then slipped to $183.6 bn, losing $3.6 bn in 60 days. The 30‑day USDT change has been negative for 34 straight days, eroding the SSR’s meaning. Meanwhile, the Estimated Leverage Ratio stayed flat around 0.219, indicating speculative risk is neither growing nor shrinking. Bitcoin briefly slipped below $63 k before rebounding to $65.4 k, marking a 25% drop in the past month. Older supply now makes up about 46% of circulating coins, showing many investors hold losses from the 2025 peak. Adler warns a genuine reversal requires sustained USDT inflows and a rising ELR; until then, the low SSR reflects capital outflows, not buying opportunities.
Analyst predicts XRP may surge if it maintains this seven‑year trendline
XRP is testing a level near $1.47 that has served as descending resistance since 2018. The retest follows a breakout and acts as a confirmation test. Strong volume will decide if the level holds. The seven‑year trendline has capped every rally after XRP’s 2018 peak. Holding it validates the breakout and often precedes a macro uptrend. Logarithmic charts add weight to such long‑term levels. If XRP stays above $1.47, analysts expect a bullish expansion. A clear break could push price to multi‑year support near $0.50. That zone usually accumulates positions before a next rise. Short‑term moves are driven by sentiment, regulation and institutional flow, but long‑term structure dominates. This decision point may define XRP’s next macro cycle.

State-sponsored hackers from Russia, Iran, North Korea, and China are using AI only for simple tasks.
Recent alerts that AI will become a weapon for foreign adversaries clash with new data. State‑backed groups are mostly using the same publicly available tools as ordinary users and face similar limitations. Their operations rely on basic functions such as web searches, translation, and code assistance rather than novel AI exploits. OpenAI exposed a Chinese influence campaign after an official used ChatGPT as a personal diary. The operator documented a harassment network that forged court documents, created fake obituaries and attempted to impersonate U.S. immigration officers to intimidate dissidents. OpenAI matched the diary entries to real‑world posts and banned the account. A joint Microsoft‑OpenAI report identified Russian, North Korean, Iranian and Chinese actors experimenting with large language models for simple tasks. Five state‑linked accounts were closed after using the services for information gathering and code debugging. No large‑scale attacks or novel AI‑driven exploits have been observed so far. The gap between feared AI weaponization and actual use fuels the U.S.–China tech rivalry. The Pentagon has pressured contractors to strip safety features, while Microsoft proposes principles to detect and block abusive users. Ongoing regulation aims to balance innovation with security against nation‑state and criminal misuse.
DOGE Forecast: Dogecoin Poised for Additional Gains Following $4.09 Million of Short Positions Liquidated Within 24 Hours
Dogecoin jumped over 12% in 24 h, breaking the $0.10 psychological barrier and reaching about $0.1038. A wave of short liquidations erased $1.57 million within an hour, while long liquidations were only $119,640. The rapid closures indicate over‑leveraged shorts were caught off‑guard as buying pressure surged. The rally behaved like a classic short squeeze: rising prices forced leveraged shorts to cover, adding further demand. In 24 h total liquidations hit $5.14 million, with $4.09 million coming from shorts. Dogecoin’s retail‑heavy, high‑leverage market makes such clustered unwindings common. Despite the gain, DOGE still sits below key descending resistance levels on the daily chart, so a true trend reversal is unproven. Breaking and holding above these zones would be needed for sustained upside. Nonetheless, clearing $0.10 may shift retail sentiment and attract new buyers.

Peter Schiff claims that Bitcoin has not outperformed gold since 2021.
Schiff says Bitcoin has lost over 66% of its value when measured in gold since its November 2021 peak. One Bitcoin fell from buying about 34.5 oz of gold to only 12 oz today, a 64% drop. A $10,000 Bitcoin buy then would be roughly $9,100 now, while the same gold investment would exceed $27,000. Critics note Bitcoin behaves more like a volatile tech stock than a safe‑haven, prompting investors to favor actual gold in risk‑off periods. CNBC’s Ran Neuner argues the store‑of‑value case for Bitcoin is now under serious scrutiny. This undermines the long‑standing “digital gold” narrative. Proponents point to Bitcoin’s 320% rally from its $15,000 low in late 2023, outpacing gold’s 150% gain, and call the dip a normal cycle correction. They argue Bitcoin’s volatility is inherent to its boom‑and‑bust pattern driven by halvings and sentiment. Schiff, however, remains unconvinced.
Bitcoin's rally drives double‑digit gains for altcoins as traders monitor major risks

Analyst says XRP holders receive no benefits and anyone who doesn’t recognize this is delusional.
Ripple announced the Hidden Road acquisition, now Ripple Prime, in late 2025, raising hopes that XRP would benefit. Instead, the token fell over 25% in two months, lagging despite the corporate win. Historically, such deals spark brief volatility but rarely sustain gains, widening the gap between growth narratives and investor returns. Beyond Hidden Road, Ripple bought GTreasury, Rail, Standard Custody and Metaco, extending its reach into custody, treasury, payments and prime brokerage. These moves create vertical integration and a regulated infrastructure that could boost XRP’s utility over time. Yet the immediate market response remains muted, with price gains still elusive. Analysts argue the acquisitions mainly serve executives, leaving token holders with little short‑term upside. Holders focused on capital appreciation grow skeptical when price charts ignore corporate milestones. Ripple’s roadmap aims for structural depth that may eventually lift XRP, but current market sentiment stays cautious.
Google Gemini predicts the XRP price for March 1 2026.
XRP has steadied after weeks of heavy selling, trading around $1.41 with a 6% gain in 24 hours. Traders view March 1, 2026 as a pivotal date for its short‑term direction. Google’s Gemini AI forecasts a neutral‑to‑bullish outlook, noting reduced “extreme fear” among retail participants. The $1.50 zone is identified as a critical resistance “wall,” aligning with a 50% Fibonacci retracement and clustered sell orders. Support at $1.30 must hold to avoid a slide toward $1.12, while $1.58 may pose short‑term profit‑taking pressure. Breaking above $1.50 could trigger a broader bullish cycle. On‑chain data shows institutional wallets accumulating over 1 billion XRP, contrasting with retail fear. Geopolitical tensions in the U.S. add volatility, yet sophisticated traders anticipate a trend reversal by early March. These factors together may buoy XRP toward the $1.50 psychological level. Gemini outlines three possible outcomes for March 1: bearish $1.10‑$1.25 if $1.30 support fails, neutral $1.45‑$1.55 consolidation, and bullish $1.65‑$1.85 driven by institutional buying or favorable macro news. A close above $1.50 would break February’s historical downtrend and signal an early‑spring rally.
