Institutional Conviction Fuels Bullish Ethereum Outlook Despite Brutal Crypto Selloff

A privacy-focused stablecoin tied to Circle has quietly become part of the 
story behind Cardano&#8217;s recent jump in decentralized finance activity. Related

The token, called USDCx, was brought into the Cardano ecosystem earlier this 
year as part of a broader push to grow the network&#8217;s financial infrastructure 
— and the numbers that followed have drawn attention across the crypto 
community. Cross-Chain Ambitions Drive Capital Into Cardano Protocols Data 
shows Cardano&#8217;s total value locked — a measure of assets committed to DeFi 
services like lending and liquidity pools — climbed from 447 million ADA on 
February 26 to 552 million ADA by March 10. That&#8217;s a gain of roughly 23% in 
under two weeks, according to stake pool operator Dave, who shared the figures 
on X. In US dollar terms, the move was smaller. Analytics platform DeFiLlama 
tracked the network&#8217;s TVL rising from about $127 million to approximately $142 
million over the same stretch — a roughly 12% increase. The gap between the 
two figures comes down to ADA&#8217;s own price movement during that period, which 
pushed up the native token count without a matching rise in dollar value. 
Still, the flow of capital is real. Reports indicate roughly 105 million ADA 
moved into Cardano-based DeFi protocols during those 12 days. Cardano&#8217;s DeFi 
TVL has increased an impressive 23.5% in just 12 days. On 26 February it stood 
at $447.13M. Today it sits at $552.35M. That is roughly $105M of additional 
value now locked in Cardano DeFi protocols in just 12 days. Cardano is 
growing. — Dave (@ItsDave_ADA) March 10, 2026 The stablecoin market cap on 
Cardano has reached around $48 million, a marker that backers say reflects 
growing confidence in the network&#8217;s financial rails. That figure sits 
alongside a broader buildout the Cardano community voted to fund. Last year, 
close to 50 million ADA was approved to strengthen the network&#8217;s DeFi 
infrastructure — money aimed at making the chain more competitive with 
established players. Hoskinson Eyes Bitcoin And XRP Bridge Deals This Year 
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has been vocal about what comes next. He has 
confirmed that talks around cross-chain bridges — connections that would allow 
assets to move between Cardano and networks like Bitcoin and XRP — will pick 
up pace this year. Those bridges are listed as one of five core priorities in 
Cardano&#8217;s 2026 roadmap, which Hoskinson has described as a make-or-break 
period for the project&#8217;s DeFi ambitions. The network&#8217;s TVL, even after its 
recent climb, remains a fraction of what more established chains command. 
Ethereum&#8217;s DeFi ecosystem holds tens of billions of dollars in locked assets. 
Solana&#8217;s figure also runs well ahead of Cardano&#8217;s current $142 million mark.

Remains Cardano Community Bets Big On Infra Spending What distinguishes the 
current moment for Cardano is the combination of governance-approved spending, 
new stablecoin integrations, and stated plans to open the chain to outside 
liquidity. Whether the momentum holds will depend in large part on how quickly 
those cross-chain connections are built and how much capital they attract.

XRP may be approaching a critical turning point as technical indicators begin 
to signal the early stages of a potential bottoming phase. After an extended 
pullback and cooling momentum, analysts are pointing to growing price 
compression and historically oversold conditions that could precede a major 
move. If market structure holds and demand gradually returns, the developing 
slingshot setup could position XRP for a strong recovery in the coming months. 
Monthly Chart Signals High-Timeframe Reset, Not Collapse XRP is currently 
trading near the $1.35 level, a price zone that many market participants 
interpret as a sign of weakness. However, crypto analyst Diana suggests the 
situation may not be as bearish as it appears. According to her, the monthly 
chart shows what looks more like a high-timeframe reset following a major 
rally rather than a market collapse. Related Reading: XRP Price Sets Stage for 
Comeback — Recovery Wave Incoming? From a broader perspective, the overall 
trend structure still appears constructive. The $1.30–$1.35 region is acting 
as a key support zone where price has begun to stabilize. Although momentum 
has cooled, selling pressure appears to be gradually losing strength, and the 
current compression phase could eventually lead to a decisive breakout or 
breakdown. Diana also pointed out that many traders focus heavily on XRP’s 
large total supply and assume it cannot move significantly. However, the 
amount of XRP actively available for trading may be far tighter than widely 
believed. A considerable portion of the supply remains locked, stored off 
exchanges, or held by long-term investors who are not eager to sell, meaning 
that a surge in demand could push prices higher quickly. If XRP holds this 
support zone and reclaim higher resistance levels, the market could begin 
targeting a move back toward $3, with a stronger cycle extension potentially 
opening the door to the $5–$8.50 range. On the other hand, a decisive 
breakdown below this support area could signal the need for a deeper reset 
before any larger bullish continuation develops. XRP Weekly RSI Enters 
Historic Oversold Territory Crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO recently highlighted 
that XRP’s weekly RSI is now entering what could be the most oversold region 
in the asset’s history. According to the analyst, this zone has historically 
appeared near major turning points, making it an area that many traders and 
long-term investors are watching closely. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts 
1,500% XRP Price Increase To $15 If This Is A Wave 2 These instances occurred 
in 2014, 2015, 2018, 2020, and 2022. Each time the indicator reached these 
extreme levels, the market was approaching a major macro low before eventually 
shifting direction. The analyst noted that entering this oversold zone does 
not necessarily mean the exact bottom will form immediately. Instead, it often 
signals that the market is moving into the bottoming phase, which resembles a 
final liquidity sweep, sideways accumulation before a gradual recovery begins. 
Thus, EGRAG explained that many experienced investors prefer accumulating 
during such conditions rather than perfectly timing the absolute bottom. With 
XRP’s weekly RSI now approaching this historically significant level once 
again, the key question is whether the current moment represents a risky entry 
point or a potential long-term accumulation opportunity. Featured image from
