On March 13, 2026, Solana's price broke out of a falling trendline after five weeks of sideways movement, with the token trading around $89.18 and gaining over 4% in 24 hours. At the same time, Open Interest in Solana derivatives rose more than 5% to about $5.46 billion, while its TVL reached roughly $6.917 billion and stablecoin market cap expanded to $15.64 billion. Recent net inflows of $5.58 million into U.S. spot SOL ETFs over two days pushed their assets to $824.87 million, underscoring the network's strengthening bullish momentum.

In 2026, traders are closely tracking BlackRock's new Ethereum ETF ETHB, which stakes 70–95% of its ETH and follows steady inflows into the firm's earlier product ETHA. Despite BlackRock moving nearly 100,000 ETH out of its wallet amid broader macro uncertainty, Ethereum has gained 8.63% this week and is holding above the $2k support level as whale accumulation rises and exchange reserves fall. With total staked ETH up by 452,000 this month and the ETH/BTC ratio near 0.30, some market participants believe a supply squeeze could be forming that might fuel Ethereum's next rally against Bitcoin.

BlackRock has launched the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB), a fund that stakes between 70% and 95% of its ETH holdings while keeping a small liquidity buffer. The ETF aims for roughly 3% annual staking yield, pays rewards out monthly in cash, charges a 0.25% sponsor fee temporarily reduced to 0.12%, and takes an 18% share of staking rewards, exchanging higher net yield for ease of access and institutional-style product structure.

Shiba Inu has registered a short-term breakout backed by around 1.75 trillion SHIB in trading volume, lifting the token toward $0.0000060 after an extended period of weakness. The move followed a break above a descending triangle pattern and has sparked discussion over whether SHIB can sustain a rebound despite still trading below key moving averages. Market participants are watching whether buyers can hold the breakout area and turn the recent surge into a more durable recovery.

In 2021, Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin received 500 trillion SHIB, or half of the initial Shiba Inu supply, from project founder Ryoshi and later explained how he handled those meme tokens. He stated that he sold part of the SHIB and other dog-themed coins for ETH to fund donations, sent some to Crypto Relief in India, Sandeep and the Future of Life Institute, and burned about 410 trillion SHIB to permanently remove them from circulation.

Hyperliquid's HYPE token surges over 20% this week, defying market trends as RWA perpetuals smash records with $1.3B+ open interest and $1.4B weekend volumes. Explore the drivers behind the rally and upside potential.

On March 12, 2026, a large trader attempted to exchange $50 million in USDT for AAVE in a single on-chain swap through the Aave interface using CoW Swap and received only 324 AAVE worth about $50,000 due to extreme slippage. The transaction, which showed no protocol exploit according to project teams, highlighted how low liquidity at that size and the absence of MEV protection allowed an MEV bot to capture a substantial profit and turned the trade into an almost total loss for the wallet owner.

Pi Network's PI token has surged more than 30% in the last 24 hours, extending a monthly gain that now exceeds 100%. The rally follows a planned listing on Kraken set for March 13th, a 175% spike in daily trading volume, and has pushed its market capitalization to about $2.8 billion.
