In the week reported on March 9, 2026, institutional investors allocated a net $619,000,000 to Bitcoin and other crypto investment products, according to CoinShares. Bitcoin products captured $521,000,000, while Ethereum and Solana saw inflows of $88,500,000 and $14,600,000 respectively, even as late-week market volatility drove $829,000,000 of outflows. XRP products were the main exception with $30,300,000 in redemptions, and the data showed U.S. investors providing $646,000,000 in positive flows versus outflows from Europe, Asia and Canada.

On 9 March 2026, CoinGecko data showed Binance leading perpetual futures trading with $13.6 trillion, more than twice OKX's $5.8 trillion, while overall perps volume reached over $7.24 trillion per month. Hyperliquid, an on-chain exchange, entered the global top 10 with $1.5 trillion in volume and helped lift DEX market share in perps to about 10.2%, supported by high open interest ratios and faster execution. Centralized venues still benefit from deeper liquidity and fiat access, but growth in DeFi, real-world asset perps, institutional activity, and AI-driven trading is reshaping the derivatives landscape.

Ether traded back above $2,000 on Monday as derivatives exchanges saw more than 110,000 ETH in net inflows and the estimated leverage ratio hit a record high. Short liquidations of about $273 million are stacked near $2,030, with key resistance between $2,050 and $2,100 potentially guiding whether price can extend beyond $2,150. Traders are watching the $1,900–$2,000 support band, where a long-term ascending trendline has repeatedly sparked strong rebounds.

Digital asset investment products booked $619 million in net inflows last week, with Bitcoin and Ethereum drawing the bulk of fresh capital while regional flows diverged. Solana held support near $81 and traded around $85, as analysts highlighted a potential move through the $86–$87 area that could open the way toward $90 and even $100 if macro and geopolitical risk eases.

Dogecoin is trading around $0.09081 after a 2.4% rebound, with price action fluctuating between nearby support at $0.088–$0.087 and resistance near $0.09235. Analysts highlight a persistent downtrend and warn that repeated tests of the $0.088 area and a recent break of the $0.089 floor toward about $0.08688 could pave the way for further declines if sellers keep control.

In the three months leading up to 9 March 2026, crypto fundraising saw capital raised slump 62%, deal count drop 38%, and average deal size fall to $21.89 million. While 2025 headline figures showed $50.6 billion raised, much of this came from $22.1 billion in M&A, with venture funding at $23.3 billion and deal numbers down 21% year-over-year. Capital is concentrating in large strategic rounds such as Tether's $200 million investment in Whop, as CeFi captures the biggest checks and DeFi faces smaller, compressed valuations.

Pi Network's PI token has climbed 30% over the past week to a three-month high near $0.23 before easing to about $0.21. Large inflows of more than 6.2 million PI to exchanges in 24 hours and an RSI near 71 hint at possible selling pressure, while some analysts still project upside toward $0.30 or even $0.64 as the v20.2 protocol update approaches around March 12.

After four straight declining sessions that took it into the mid-$60,000 range, bitcoin rebounded to trade around $69,350 as traders contended with surging oil prices, Middle East tensions and a stronger U.S. dollar. Analysts note that ETF flow trends, renewed inflows into bitcoin investment products and sizeable exchange outflows point to early signs of stabilization, even as macro uncertainty keeps risk appetite muted.
