Binance announced the removal of 21 tokens from its Binance Alpha platform, after which several of the affected altcoins recorded sharp double-digit losses and some dropped by around 70–80%. The exchange also recently paused Ethereum network deposits and withdrawals for an upgrade and expanded spot trading pairs for the U stablecoin over the past few months.

On March 13, 2026, Pi Network's native token PI jumped as much as 31% after Kraken confirmed it would list the coin, pushing its price to around $0.29, the highest level since mid-September 2025. Despite the surge and renewed optimism ahead of the March 14 Pi Day, on-chain data shows exchange reserves above 451 million PI and growing inflows, signaling possible sell-off pressure once trading and event hype subside. Traders are now watching whether fresh liquidity on Kraken will sustain demand or simply provide an exit for long-time holders.

In 2026's volatile crypto market, Finbold asked Chinese AI model DeepSeek to outline how it would structure a $1,000 digital asset portfolio. The balanced version allocates 30% each to Bitcoin and Ethereum, with the remaining 40% split between Solana and established AI/DeFi projects, while a higher-risk option shifts more capital into Solana, meme coins and AI narrative tokens. Both concepts keep a portion in Bitcoin as a core holding, but the aggressive approach targets larger short-term swings.

According to a joint analysis by Dune and Keyrock, monthly prediction market notional volume expanded from under $100 million in early 2024 to more than $13 billion by late 2025, even as regulatory pressure increased. As these markets move into sports, politics and macro themes, opaque or discretionary outcome resolution is becoming the main bottleneck, pushing serious capital toward only a few headline markets.

In a March 12, 2026 X discussion, Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz used Stellar’s 2019 50% XLM supply burn to address calls for a large XRP burn. He argued that despite Stellar destroying 55 billion XLM and XRP escrow currently totaling over 33.6 billion tokens, XLM’s long-term price chart continued to closely track XRP, suggesting a massive burn might not guarantee sustained price gains.

On March 13, on-chain data indicated that several whale wallets withdrew a total of 2.54 million TRUMP tokens, worth about $8.8 million, from Binance within 12 hours. One wallet tied to trader "DNTpoX" alone moved 2 million TRUMP, roughly $6.92 million, as the token traded at $3.79 after rising 33.1% in 24 hours. The clustered withdrawals into newly created addresses have been interpreted by some observers as a possible accumulation pattern by large holders.

On March 13, 2026, Kraken launched spot trading for the PI/USD pair, becoming the first major U.S. exchange to list Pi Network's mobile-mined token. Ahead of the listing, PI climbed 33% in a week to between $0.23 and $0.29 with volumes of 60.88M PI, yet it still trades about 90.82% under its early 2025 peak of $2.99. The debut follows Pi Network's February 2025 Open Mainnet, recent protocol upgrades and plans for a native DEX and validator rewards scheduled into Q2 2026.

BlackRock's iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB) began trading yesterday and generated about $15.5 million in first-day volume, opening with just over $100 million in assets.
