World Liberty Financial has introduced a governance proposal that requires unlocked WLFI holders to stake their tokens for at least 6 months before gaining voting rights. Participants who vote at least twice during the lock period can earn 2% annual WLFI rewards, while large holders who stake 10 million or 50 million WLFI can qualify for Node and Super Node tiers, gaining special access to USD1 stablecoin services and extra incentives. The phased rollout will proceed after token holders approve the plan and a quorum of 1 billion eligible WLFI participates over a seven-day voting window.

On February 26, Polkadot's DOT jumped roughly 22%, touching a one‑month high near $1.74 as its market cap moved above $2.6 billion. Lark Davis linked the move to a March 14 halving that cuts annual issuance by 50% and growing spot ETF interest, while the RSI around 73 signals caution.

Ethereum rebounded above $2,000 after dropping below $1,800 on Feb. 6, leaving price up 18% since that dip. A sharp rise in 30-day realized volatility on Binance to 0.97 and an MVRV Z-Score in the historical accumulation zone indicate a potential local bottom while the $1,800–$1,900 trend support holds.

In the last 24 hours, Shiba Inu's open interest reportedly declined by 5% to 9.9 trillion SHIB worth $62.79 million, even as the token staged a modest price rebound. Over the same period, SHIB's price rose from $0.000006066 to a high of $0.000006486, with trading volume jumping 36.5% to $141.48 million. Market participants remain cautious as the meme coin struggles below its 26-day EMA and continues to print lower highs and lower lows.

XRP is still in a corrective structure on both USD and BTC pairs after a roughly 20% rebound from locally oversold conditions. Price on USDT faces resistance at $1.75–$1.90 and remains below the 100‑day average, while XRP/BTC is capped under 2,200–2,300 sats and a broader supply at 2,400–2,500 sats. The trend bias remains bearish unless these bands are reclaimed.

On-chain data shows a wallet labeled "0xf2af…48420" has sent more than 24 billion Shiba Inu tokens to Binance after holding SHIB for over two years, while still keeping about 25.47 billion SHIB. The address also holds BNB, ETH and LINK with a total portfolio around $459,000, and this sizable transfer comes as SHIB's price has fallen 11.43% since the start of 2026 and some large holders appear to be trimming exposure.

IoTeX committed to fully compensate users affected by the February 21 ioTube bridge exploit that drained $4.4 million, with payouts funded from treasury regardless of asset recovery. Mainnet operations resumed on February 24 following security upgrades, and a tiered claims process starts Friday, February 27. The patch blacklisted 29 attacker addresses and froze about 45 million IOTX.

Ethereum bounced about 20% from the mid-$1,700s, but the broader structure still looks corrective after months of declines. Price is challenging $2,150 with $2,300–$2,400 above, while $1,750–$1,800 remains key support. On-chain exchange reserves sit near multi‑year lows, hinting at supply moving off exchanges.
