XRP Price Enters ‘Final Shakeout Zone’, What Investors Should Expect

XRP's price has entered a bearish phase, but some analysts view this as a potential final shakeout—a period of deep undervaluation before a possible upward expansion. According to technical analyst Diana, XRP is currently trading in a corrective channel, with the weekly RSI approaching oversold levels. The $0.84 zone is identified as a high-probability demand area, supported by Fibonacci and moving average indicators. A breakdown below $0.69 would invalidate the bullish thesis. The current decline is seen as part of a larger eight-year cup-and-handle pattern, with a potential long-term target of $3.65 if key support levels hold.

Why Base’s $15.2B trading boom raises questions about L2 tokens

Base is shifting its focus from creator rewards and social features to prioritize trading, as evidenced by the shutdown of its Creator Rewards program and Farcaster-powered social feed. The program, which distributed around $450,000 to 17,000 creators over seven months, is being discontinued to allow the platform to concentrate on tradable assets. This strategic pivot raises questions about the potential role of a native Base token, especially since discussions about its launch have quieted recently. The network's strong performance suggests a token may not be necessary. Over the past 30 days, Base-linked DEXs processed $15.2 billion in trading volume, with Aerodrome Finance (AERO) leading much of the activity. The network has also generated $190.6 million in cumulative fees and revenue, demonstrating its ability to monetize usage directly without relying on a token for growth. Coinbase's recent Super Bowl ad further indicates a focus on brand building and streamlined priorities. With trading volume and fees effectively serving the function a token typically would, a native Base token appears optional rather than essential.

FTX Founder Sam Bankman‑Fried Pushes For New Trial In New York

Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, has filed a pro se motion in a New York federal court requesting a new trial. He argues that new witness testimony could undermine the prosecution's case and challenge key aspects of the narrative that led to his conviction. Bankman-Fried, who is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence for fraud and other charges, continues to dispute the legitimacy of FTX's bankruptcy. He claims the company was not insolvent and alleges that lawyers initiated bankruptcy proceedings for their own financial benefit without his authorization. This motion is a separate attempt to reopen the case alongside his ongoing appeal.

Cardano: Why CME’s ADA futures sparked 3% drop instead of a rally

Cardano's ADA declined nearly 3% following the launch of CME futures contracts on February 9, 2026, contrary to expectations of a rally. Despite increased visibility, the event triggered selling pressure and short-term speculation, with BitMEX ADA futures volume surging over 48,770%. Open Interest dropped from $490 million to $425 million, indicating reduced trader exposure and bearish dominance. While whales accumulated ADA during the decline, spot demand remained weak. Key support held between $0.22–$0.27, with technical indicators hinting at stabilization. Ultimately, the futures launch amplified leverage-driven activity rather than fostering genuine market strength or renewed investor confidence.
