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.

Shiba Inu's exchange netflow jumped 208% in the last 24 hours, indicating a wave of deposits that may precede increased selling. SHIB has lost more than 53% year-to-date and remains down 10.7% over the past month, while a recent golden cross and 17% weekly gain face pressure from renewed volatility. The token trades at $0.000006046 with a 6.73% drop in 24-hour volume to $149.91 million, as a 63% weekend spike in burn rate above four million SHIB has yet to secure a sustained recovery.

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.

According to market data, MicroStrategy has reduced a large portion of its unrealized Bitcoin losses after BTC rebounded from a monthly low of $62,533 to an intraday high of $74,395.78. The firm holds 738,731 BTC at an average purchase price of $75,862 per coin, and its portfolio value has reportedly improved by 8.7% as trading volume surged alongside renewed institutional interest.

Dogecoin has staged an 11% weekly rebound, lifting its price from $0.09467 to as high as $0.1023 and reclaiming the $0.10 mark. The move has been linked to short liquidations, renewed whale accumulation and a sharp rise in trading volume to $1.51 billion as DOGE changes hands around $0.1017. Traders are now watching resistance near $0.105, which could open the way toward the $0.110–$0.120 area if broken.

Over the past 365 days, XRP Ledger daily transactions have climbed from about 1 million to almost 3 million, reflecting a sharp rise in on-chain activity. Evernorth, an institutional XRP treasury firm listed on Nasdaq in October 2025, attributes this growth to payments, liquidity operations and tokenized assets moving on-chain. Despite the surge in usage, XRP is trading around $1.39, below the $2 level, with recent price and volume data showing a disconnect between network activity and market valuation.

Shiba Inu is facing renewed bearish pressure after a death cross appeared on its daily chart, putting its more than 8.85% weekly gains at risk. Over the past 24 hours, SHIB has traded around $0.000005876, down 1.63%, while trading volume fell 7.04% to $145.03 million. Large transfers totaling over 112 billion SHIB to exchanges in the last 48 hours have raised additional concerns about a possible sell-off and the token's ability to reclaim the $0.0000060 level.

XRP Ledger validators are currently voting on the v3.1.0 SingleAssetVault and Lending Protocol amendments, which aim to enhance lending features and vault capabilities on the network. With only eight and six validator votes recorded so far and consensus at 22.86% and 17.14%, respectively, the proposals remain far from the 28-vote (80%) threshold required for activation. If support does not increase before the activation window closes, the timer may reset and the amendments could be reconsidered at a later time.
