On March 9, the Connecticut Banking Commissioner’s Consumer Credit Division issued a temporary cease-and-desist order against Bitcoin Depot, suspending its money transmission license in the state. The crypto ATM operator has since cut its 2026 revenue guidance after reporting a 56% year-to-date stock drop, staff layoffs and a sharp share price decline from its mid-2025 peak.

On March 17, author and investor Robert Kiyosaki warned that global markets are in a fragile bubble that could burst if a single unidentified event triggers it. He urged market participants to buy assets such as Bitcoin, gold, silver and Ethereum before any crash, arguing that gains are locked in at the moment of purchase rather than at sale. At the time he shared his views, Bitcoin traded around $74,146.78, posting daily, weekly and monthly gains.

Tangem, a Switzerland-based hardware wallet provider, reported $61.3 million in revenue for 2025, representing a 102% year-over-year increase driven by its "active self-custody" approach. The company said recurring in-app activity, including DeFi access, has become a bigger growth driver than one-off device sales as monthly active users rose by 50%.

On March 18, 2026, Nvidia shares traded higher in premarket after regulators in China cleared the sale of its H200 artificial intelligence chips, enabling the company to restart production and resume shipments to the region.

Decentralized autonomous organization governance platform Tally will begin winding down operations at the end of March after five years, with its co-founder citing the lack of a sustainable business model for DAO tooling. The platform says it has handled governance for hundreds of organizations, served more than 1 million users and processed over $1 billion in payments, but will not move ahead with a planned token sale. Industry participants argue the closure reflects broader challenges in DAO coordination, where high usage has not consistently translated into revenue.

Ripple's Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty has responded to the U.S. SEC's move to classify XRP, Solana and Cardano as non-security digital commodities. He reiterated Ripple's long-held view that XRP is not a security and said the new status could ease listing rules and encourage broader adoption. XRP is trading around $1.51 with a 1.19% daily drop, while trading volume has fallen by 41.25% to $3.07 billion and the RSI near 73.23 suggests overbought conditions.

Ripple's XRP has climbed to retest the major $1.6 resistance level after a sustained advance, with the price currently consolidating just below this barrier. Analysts point to $1.4 as key support and highlight that a break and hold above $1.6, especially alongside stronger trading volume and a bullish weekly RSI cross, could signal a larger trend reversal toward higher targets.

On March 17, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission released an interpretive framework, coordinated with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, describing how federal securities laws apply to different categories of crypto assets and activities. The guidance states that most crypto assets are not themselves securities, introduces a taxonomy for digital commodities, stablecoins, digital collectibles, digital tools, and digital securities, and outlines how rules affect actions like airdrops, staking, protocol mining, and token wrapping. It is presented as an initial step toward a broader market structure, while lawmakers continue working on comprehensive digital asset legislation.
