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.

According to RLUSD tracking data on X, Ripple Labs burned 10,000,000 RLUSD at its treasury on March 10, 2026, in what appears to be the stablecoin's largest single burn so far. The company had previously minted 69,000,000 RLUSD at the beginning of March and carried out several smaller burns and mints across XRP Ledger and Ethereum. Ripple is also set to secure an Australian Financial Services License, enabling local institutions to access Ripple Payments, on- and off-ramps, and RLUSD for real-time settlement.

According to analytics data from Arkham, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss recently moved $130 million in Bitcoin to Gemini hot wallets, reportedly to sell, but still retain BTC worth $764 million and an overall profit of $1.8 billion. On March 9, the 20 millionth Bitcoin was mined, leaving one million BTC to be issued over the next 114 years as halving events continue to reduce block rewards.

According to analytics shared on March 10, 2026, Bitcoin balances on centralized exchanges fell from just under 3.4 million coins on March 21, 2025, to about 2.4 million by mid‑January 2026. An analyst suggests this depletion, combined with only 1 million BTC left to be mined, may point to a looming supply shock, while Robert Kiyosaki reiterates his call to accumulate Bitcoin and Ethereum ahead of a market crash he expects in 2026.

On March 9, 2026, Samson Mow said he now expects Michael Saylor and his firm Strategy to ultimately acquire one million Bitcoin in total while BTC trades below $70,000. He previously believed Saylor would stall around 500,000 BTC until the price hit $1 million per coin, but ongoing debt-funded purchases changed his view. The comment coincides with the 20 millionth Bitcoin being mined, leaving only one million BTC to be issued over the next 114 years.

Since the 10 October market crash, large XRP holders have accumulated more than 4.18 billion XRP, valued at about $6.7 billion at current prices. XRP dropped about 40% in value that day, while Bitcoin later climbed to a local high of $74,000 this week and is still trading slightly above $70,000. Analysts note many altcoins are sliding to all-time lows even as some institutional players continue to buy on dips.

According to Shibburn data, the Shiba Inu burn rate has stayed at the zero mark for a second straight day, even though over 45,000 SHIB were actually sent to dead wallets in two transactions. During the same 24-hour period, SHIB's price first climbed 2.53% to $0.0000561 after a nearly 7% drop the day before, while closely tracking Bitcoin's recent move from a $74,000 high toward the $70,455 area.

According to a new report from Glassnode on March 5, 2026, institutional inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs have begun to stabilize after a period of sustained outflows. As Bitcoin trades above $70,000 and approaches the $74,000 area, on-chain data suggests early signs that large investors are starting to reaccumulate BTC after the recent sell-off. A separate analyst also points to BTC’s performance against gold as a potential signal that capital could rotate from the precious metal back into Bitcoin.

Pseudonymous trader Trader Tardigrade projects that Dogecoin could climb to a price range between $1.60 and $2.20 in 2026, based on a recurring bullish breakdown pattern on the monthly chart. To reach this zone from its current capitalization of $15.68 billion, DOGE would need to attract enough inflows to push its market value close to $230 billion, a scenario some observers view as difficult given Ethereum's roughly $250 billion market cap.
