XRP Ledger activity rose 300% within 48 hours, with payments volume climbing around 400% and successful transactions increasing to pre-correction levels. While on-chain throughput improved, XRP still trades in a broader downtrend and sits below major moving averages. Price stabilization may depend on whether elevated usage persists and translates into sustained market demand.

Morpho (MORPHO) climbed 15% to an intraday peak of $1.83 after rebounding from the February 5, 2026 low at $1.02. The token trades above the 50- and 200-day EMAs, with the 200 EMA near $1.51, while RSI sits above 70, pointing to a risk of near-term consolidation.

FG Nexus sold 7,550 ETH worth about $14 million from its corporate treasury on Tuesday, pushing realized losses above $80 million. The publicly listed firm has disposed just over 21,000 ETH for about $55 million and still holds 37,594 ETH, while FGNX shares fell roughly 52% over the past month.

After surging to nearly $3.50 in July 2025 and then dropping about 60%, XRP has been sliding through early 2026. The DeepSeek AI model now anticipates a renewed upswing, projecting XRP at $2.80 by the close of 2026, roughly 102% above its current $1.38 level, and aligning with Standard Chartered's revised forecast.

On February 22, 2026, the Solana-based AI agent Lobstar Wilde mistakenly transferred 52.439M LOBSTAR—about 5% of supply—to a random wallet, a stash valued between $250k and $441k. On-chain data indicated the holder exited into thin liquidity for roughly $37K–$40K, while LOBSTAR rallied 190% and the project's market cap reached $12 million.

Amid a broader market upswing, XRP added about 3% in the last 24 hours while the 30‑day average of large XRP transfers to Binance climbed to roughly 2.54 billion tokens, signaling renewed whale activity. Daily inflows around 50 million XRP, together with resistance near $1.40 and supports at $1.11 and $0.87, suggest bears still hold an edge despite the bounce. US spot XRP ETFs showed flat flows around late February, except for a $3 million inflow into Bitwise's XRP product.

Ethereum developers have confirmed that the FOCIL proposal to curb builder-level censorship will be added to the Hegota upgrade scheduled for the second half of 2026. At the same time, the Ethereum Foundation has moved 2,016 ETH, valued at about $6.8 million, into staking as part of a broader plan to allocate up to 70,000 ETH for yield instead of market sales. These parallel decisions aim to reinforce base-layer censorship resistance while easing long-term selling pressure from the Foundation's treasury.

On February 25, 2026, the Ethereum Foundation said it began staking part of its ETH treasury, starting with a 2,106 ETH deposit valued around $3.8 million. The plan targets roughly 70,000 ETH in total, with staking rewards returning to the EF treasury to fund protocol R&D, ecosystem development and community grants.
