The XRP Ledger has surpassed 7.7 million nonempty wallets for the first time in its 13-year history, reflecting expanding adoption and higher network usage. On March 16, 2026, active addresses reached 46,767 while XRP's price briefly climbed to $1.60 before trading around $1.51. Trading volume jumped to $5.2 billion, and tokenized real-world assets on XRPL rose over 1,282% in 30 days to $139.85 million.

Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin has seen its 24-hour trading volume climb by more than 143% as XRP broke through the $1.40 resistance level. Over the same period, XRP volume rose 148.48% to $3.12 billion and the token traded at $1.47, up 3.74%. RLUSD's market capitalization has reached $1.55 billion, while Ripple pursues global expansion of the stablecoin for institutional use on XRP Ledger.

Zcash (ZEC) surged approximately 20% in the past 24 hours on March 16, 2026, climbing to around $270–$280 amid renewed momentum in privacy coins, driven by heightened demand for financial anonymity, ecosystem developments like recent funding rounds and shielded adoption growth, and broader sector rotation as users seek protection from surveillance in a tightening regulatory environment, positioning ZEC as a key beneficiary in the ongoing privacy narrative resurgence for 2026.

FARTCOIN led Solana memecoins in daily capital inflows, attracting about $383K in whale entries and helping drive a 12% price jump to roughly $0.1894. While Open Interest has risen from $83 million to $96 million and indicators suggest bullish momentum toward $0.225–$0.23, overall memecoin liquidity remains constrained by the massive number of tokens launched.

Solana has extended its advance after moving above $88, breaking through $92 and briefly surpassing the $95 resistance while holding above the 100-hour simple moving average. The SOL/USD pair is now trading around $95 with a bullish trend line near $94, and traders are watching the $98 and $100 resistance zones as potential triggers for a move toward $105 or even $112. Failure to clear $98, however, could see the price retrace toward supports at $94, $92 and possibly $88 or $82.

Solana-based memecoin PENGU has rallied over 12% in the last 24 hours to trade around $0.0081, while its volume has spiked by 170%. Derivatives positioning, whale accumulation and repeated tests of the $0.00815 resistance suggest a potential 22% upside toward $0.0104 if the price can secure a daily close above $0.0085.

XRP has extended its advance above $1.50 and is trading above the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average while consolidating below $1.60. Key support is forming near $1.5220 and $1.470, and a decisive move above $1.580 could open the way toward the $1.60–$1.65 resistance band. If buyers fail to clear $1.580, the price risks a pullback toward $1.450 and potentially the $1.42–$1.3680 support region.

Analyst TARA, known on X as @PrecisionTrade3, has shared a long-range XRP price roadmap suggesting the token might not climb beyond $100 until a fifth major macro cycle. The model outlines stepwise cycle targets up to roughly $153, while a separate near-term view highlights key resistance at $1.47 and $1.88, potential support near $0.87, and an expectation of two significant corrections before higher levels. At the time of the analysis, XRP was trading around $1.50 amid what the analyst still views as a corrective, not yet breakout, structure.
