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.

On the 1st of March, large on-chain transfers moved $300 million in USDC on Ethereum wallets and released 700 million XRP from Ripple's escrow reserves. These structured treasury flows contributed to a rise in circulating XRP supply to 61.09 billion tokens by the 2nd of March, while derivatives metrics and funding rates signaled limited speculative response.

XRP is trading in the mid-$1.30 area, with price action constrained between dense support near $1.36–$1.34 and a key resistance band around $1.43–$1.47. Technical signals remain slightly bearish but are showing early signs of stabilization, leaving the next move toward either $1.50 on the upside or $1.21 on the downside dependent on how price reacts to these critical liquidity levels.

Cardano's ADA is consolidating around the mid-$0.27 area on the daily chart, with price action constrained between nearby support and resistance levels. Technical indicators such as the EMAs, MACD, and RSI point to fading bearish momentum while order book data highlights strong bid walls down to $0.2000 and heavy sell walls from $0.30000 to $0.32000. A decisive move above roughly $0.2950–$0.3000 or below major supports near $0.2559 could define the next directional trend.

US-Israeli strikes on Iran over the weekend have, according to Will Taylor of CryptoInsightUK, turned the conflict into a volatility shock for crypto rather than a straightforward bearish trigger for XRP. In his Week 184 note, Taylor says Bitcoin and Ethereum still have downside liquidity to explore, while XRP has already tapped key liquidity pools and recently showed relative strength with an upside spike. He argues that if selling pressure fails to deepen and Bitcoin eventually moves to new highs, XRP could outperform and potentially be setting up for a powerful move against both BTC and ETH.
