Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty responded after the U.S. SEC reclassified XRP, Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) as nonsecurity crypto assets. In a March 18, 2026 post on X, he said Ripple "always knew" XRP was not a security and argued the shift could mean less restrictive rules. XRP was trading at $1.51, down 1.19% in 24 hours, while volume fell 41.25% to $3.07 billion.

Dogecoin (DOGE) gave back part of its advance and slipped under $0.1010 versus the US Dollar after failing to stay above $0.1025. Price action is holding the $0.0980 area, with a bullish trend line support marked at $0.0968, while resistance is highlighted near $0.1015 and $0.1040.

On 17 March 2026, Solana drew attention as USDC transfer volume rose 300% year-over-year and median fees hovered near $0.00047. Derivatives participation also increased, with Open Interest climbing from $4.9 billion to nearly $6 billion. SOL reached as high as $96 and traded around $93 at press time, supporting a still-constructive market structure.

Centrifuge (CFG) climbed 39.52% to $0.165, alongside a 16,780% surge in trading volume over the past 24 hours. Price pushed toward the $0.18 resistance area and saw rejection, while derivatives activity intensified with Open Interest up over 1,595% to $11.2M. Exchange netflows stayed slightly negative at about -$518K, suggesting modest withdrawals as the market evaluates whether the breakout can hold.

Analyst Will Taylor (@CryptoinsightUK) said XRP is showing a rare, multi-signal bottom setup in a video published Tuesday, citing high-timeframe indicators that previously aligned with cycle lows. He pointed to support between roughly $1.38 and the mid-$0.60 area, while highlighting near-term levels around $1.45–$1.51, $1.67, and $1.85–$2.00. Taylor reiterated cycle targets of $14–$18, and XRP was priced at $1.51 at press time.

A technical analyst says Cardano (ADA) is moving within a sideways Parallel Channel on the 4-hour chart, with the upper boundary near $0.304 acting as key resistance. ADA recently climbed to around $0.290 and was described as roughly 75% of the way toward that level, after about 45 days of range-bound trading. At the time of writing, ADA was about $0.288, up more than 8% over the past seven days.

XRP moved ahead of BNB in market capitalization after a market rebound, while its price rose about 2.60% over the past 24 hours and more than 7% on the week. CoinGecko data put XRP’s market cap at about $92.37 billion versus BNB at $91.58 billion, but the sub-$1 billion gap leaves the ranking vulnerable. Despite the breakout setup, XRP-related ETFs have logged six straight days of outflows, led most recently by a $5.98 million withdrawal from 21Shares’ TOXR.

Ripple Labs President Monica Long said in January 2026 that many Fortune 500 companies could embrace crypto exposure by the end of 2026, framing XRP as a programmable "gold standard" alongside Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin. The article cites $76 billion in annualized B2B stablecoin payments on the XRP Ledger last year and notes an estimate of about $700 billion sitting idle on corporate balance sheets as a potential opportunity. It also points to Coinbase Research data that 60% of Fortune 500 firms were already running blockchain pilots.
