New data from the market intelligence firm IntoTheBlock reveals that the long-term growth of an artificial intelligence (AI)-focused altcoin is on track. In a new thread on the social media platform X, IntoTheBlock says the numbers show that AI project Kaito (KAITO) – which had its highly anticipated token launch earlier this year – is primed for long-term growth despite users pulling profits from its initial airdrop. “KAITO was among the most anticipated token launches this year, but is the excitement holding up? Currently, about 41,800 addresses hold a balance, many established during the initial airdrop. While over 90,000 addresses were created in a single day, around 55% emptied out immediately, likely capturing airdrop profits. Even so, momentum remains solid: on average, 1,800 new addresses are added daily, and the adoption rate exceeds 30%. This steady influx of users suggests that KAITO’s long-term growth story is still unfolding.” Sourc...

Trump crypto reserve initiatives have really catalyzed a shocking market shift right now, with the signing of an executive order that only includes Bitcoin in the Strategic Reserve. At least for now. The order, signed just yesterday on March 6, basically revolutionizes the initial announcement that mentioned multiple cryptocurrencies. XRP, Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano have all been excluded from the main reserve, which is definitely disappointing many investors at the time of writing this piece.

In the opening days of March, the cryptocurrency market experienced a significant degree of volatility.  President Trump’s announcement of a crypto strategic reserve spurred on a sharp increase in digital asset prices on March 2. However, just a day later, the imposition of tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China sent a shockwave throughout financial markets, as investors and traders rushed to lock in their profits amid a risk asset selloff. XRP has proven surprisingly resistant to these new challenges. On both a year-to-date (YTD) basis and in the last week, the token has outperformed Bitcoin (BTC). XRP’s continued success proves that its focus on low-cost, high-speed transactions has secured both the confidence of investors and tangible, real-world utility.

After Donald Trump announced that the US crypto reserve will hold a basket of digital assets, including the overwhelmingly pre-mined and insider-allocated XRP, researchers started looking for blockchain evidence of insider trading. Curiously, they found that addresses activated by Chris Larsen and other Ripple insiders unlocked 1 billion XRP tokens over the weekend and transferred $140 million to the Bithumb crypto exchange.  Moreover, previously dormant addresses activated by the Ripple co-founder still hold approximately $7 billion worth of XRP, according to forensic journalist ZachXBT. Despite the size of these wallets, it’s not clear whether Larsen still owns all of these tokens without encumbrances, nor is it clear that any Ripple co-founder or ICO investor has sold amid Trump’s announcement. Movements of coins to exchanges can be, but are not necessarily, an indication of intent to sell. Exchanges typically commingle customer funds and prevent the tracing of sub...

The ongoing tension between the global south and west has been a key matter of geopolitical uncertainty. That may only take a step forward as the BRICS 2025 president, Brazil, has reiterated its need to end the US dollar as 150% tariffs loom large over the nation. Speaking on the alliance’s operations, Brazil president Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva noted that the group will not cease its de-dollarization approach. However, that may come with steep consequences. Indeed, US President Donald Trump has warned that there will be import taxes levied on nations that he views are seeking to “destroy” the greenback.
