Ethena's ENA token climbed back above the $0.1 mark as its daily trading volume rose 66% and prices advanced 5.08%. Open Interest increased 11.55% while the token rebounded from support near $0.094, but technical signals suggested this move could be a short-lived retracement toward $0.120-$0.125 rather than a sustained bullish reversal.

According to analyst Darkfost, roughly 38% of altcoins are currently trading near their all‑time lows, surpassing the stress levels seen after the FTX collapse and signaling widespread structural weakness. The total crypto market cap excluding the top 10 assets has dropped toward about $169 billion, with prices sitting below key weekly moving averages and pressing into a critical support region. These conditions reflect fragile liquidity, cautious investor positioning, and a lack of sustained capital rotation into higher‑beta crypto assets.

Since the start of 2026, Shiba Inu's exchange balances have fallen by more than 1.6 trillion SHIB, shrinking total reserves on major platforms to about 80.9 trillion tokens. While this decline suggests more holders may be moving SHIB into longer-term storage, futures positioning shows a higher short ratio around 0.91 and recent price pressure near $0.000006.

In the last 24 hours, Form's FORM token jumped more than 30%, with trading volume climbing to about $89 million as it led gains among the top 200 cryptocurrencies. The memecoin launchpad broke above a key $0.19 resistance and has traded between $0.27 and $0.30 amid rising volatility, driven largely by aggressive whale activity in derivatives. However, spot volume has started to cool and traders have begun deleveraging above $0.30 on Binance, signaling expectations of a possible pullback.

On 3 March 2026, Chainlink added support for Coinbase’s wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC), allowing users on Monad to move the asset to Ethereum Layer-2 network Base via CCIP. cbBTC has a circulating value above $5 billion and could deepen liquidity for Monad’s expanding DeFi ecosystem, while CCIP’s cumulative transfer volume has approached $15 billion across 77 chains. Despite growing protocol fees and a token accrual program that has locked 2.3 million LINK, the token’s price remains range-bound between $8 and $9.5 amid subdued institutional inflows in 2026.

BitMine Immersion Technologies has revealed a staked Ether position valued at about $6.0 billion, representing roughly 3.04 million ETH and a reported 3.71% share of Ethereum’s circulating supply. The company also disclosed that its combined crypto, cash, and high-risk investments total approximately $9.9 billion, while investors weigh the implications for staking yield, liquidity, and concentration risk.

After a busy weekend of Shiba Inu token burns, on-chain trackers now show SHIB burn activity falling to nearly zero, with the burn rate dropping 99.98%. This sharp pullback has renewed speculation among holders, especially as a recent cryptic profile change by the project's lead figure is being interpreted by some as a possible hint of upcoming news.

Binance will on March 5 open trading for several U stablecoin pairs involving AVAX, LINK, LTC, PAXG, and ZEC, with trading bots enabled for these markets and a zero-fee promotion to boost adoption. On the same date, the exchange will remove a set of cross and isolated margin pairs against BTC and ETH that it says no longer meet its internal standards, while users will face temporary restrictions during the delisting process.
