If You Hold XRP, Then You Should See This Message From A Developer

bitcoinist.com - 1 小时 22 分钟 之前

An on-chain developer has announced that a new wave of deceptive non-fungible token (NFT) scams is sweeping across the XRP Ledger (XRPL), putting wallet holders on high alert. The attacks, which rely entirely on human error, have prompted growing concern within the XRP community about the threat of social engineering in the crypto space. 

Developer Sounds Alarm On New XRP Scam

XRP wallet holders are facing new sophisticated scam attempts as fraudsters flood the XRP Ledger with fake NFT passes designed to trick users into surrendering control of their funds. Wietse Wind, the developer behind the Xaman wallet and a prominent figure in the XRP community, has sounded the alarm on X, urging members to stay vigilant.

Wind made it clear that neither he nor his team is distributing passes or NFTs of any kind. He warned that anything claiming otherwise is the work of bad actors. Notably, the new scam tactic relies on social engineering. Fraudsters send unsolicited NFTs to Xaman wallet owners and then wait for victims to engage with an offer tied to those assets.

When a user willingly accepts or signs the transaction, they may unknowingly hand over something of value in exchange for a worthless or malicious token. Wind described the mechanic plainly, likening it to a situation where someone presents a bad deal, and the victim voluntarily accepts it, walking away with something useless. 

Security observers have warned that the attacks are not the result of any hack, technical breach, or flaw in the XRP Ledger itself. Instead, the entire scheme depends on one moment of human error. They caution that a random NFT appearing in a wallet should be treated as a red flag and strongly advise users not to engage, sign, or click anything related to unexpected tokens. 

Wind confirmed that changes at the NFT code level alone would not fully resolve the scam problem since the vulnerability lies in user behavior rather than the underlying technology. For now, the safest course of action is to cancel any unsolicited offers immediately and spread awareness throughout the XRP community

How To Cancel Scam Offers

Wind has offered guidance to affected users on how to protect themselves. He directed wallet holders to navigate to the ‘Events’ and ‘Requests’ sections to locate the suspicious offer, then hit the ‘Cancel’ button. While the developer reassured the community that simply ignoring the offer without any interaction would also prevent loss of funds, he has nonetheless strongly urged users to take the extra steps of canceling any suspicious offers outright.

Meanwhile, on the ground level, members of the XRP community have begun sharing their own encounters with the new scam. A blockchain enthusiast on X, going by the name Crypto Analytics, revealed that he personally received one of the fraudulent offers via his Bithomp wallet. He noted that the team at XRPL Labs had flagged the NFT offers as fraudulent on the wallet, giving users additional warning when they encounter the malicious scams

Ethereum Roadmap Could Advance Faster With AI, Vitalik Buterin Says

bitcoinist.com - 2 小时 52 分钟 之前

Ethereum’s long-range protocol roadmap may move faster than many expect as AI tools improve, according to Vitalik Buterin, who pointed to a recent experiment that used agentic coding to assemble an ambitious reference client spanning much of Ethereum’s planned 2030-era architecture.

The comment came after developer Jiayao Qi, posting as YQ via X, unveiled ETH2030, an experimental Ethereum client built to target the network’s draft “2030+” roadmap. The project weighs in at 702,000 lines of Go, covers 65 roadmap items across eight phases, passes 36,126 official Ethereum state tests, and can sync with mainnet through an integration with go-ethereum v1.17.0. Qi said the client was built in roughly six days using Claude Code at a cost of about $5,750 and 2.77 billion tokens.

AI Could Speed Up Ethereum Roadmap

Buterin called the effort “quite an impressive experiment,” while also stressing that a prototype built at that speed comes with obvious limits. “Such a thing built in two weeks without even having the EIPs has massive caveats,” he wrote. “Almost certainly lots of critical bugs, and probably in some cases ‘stub’ versions of a thing where the AI did not even try making the full version. But six months ago, even this was far outside the realm of possibility, and what matters is where the trend is going.”

That distinction mattered more to Buterin than the raw demo itself. In his view, AI is not just compressing development time. It could change how Ethereum engineers approach assurance. “Probably, the right way to use it, is to take half the gains from AI in speed, and half the gains in security,” he said. “Generate more test-cases, formally verify everything, make more multi-implementations of things.”

He tied that directly to ongoing formal verification work around Ethereum. Referring to the Lean Ethereum effort, Buterin said one collaborator had already used AI to produce a machine-verifiable proof of a complex theorem underpinning STARK security. “A core tenet of @leanethereum is to formally verify everything, and AI is greatly accelerating our ability to do that,” he wrote. “Aside from formal verification, simply being able to generate a much larger body of test cases is also important.”

ETH2030 itself was presented less as a candidate client than as a stress test for the roadmap. Qi repeatedly framed it as a rough draft, not production software, and argued that its value lies in forcing hard engineering questions into the open now rather than years from now.

The roadmap, as implemented in the project, aims at a version of Ethereum with 10,000-plus TPS on L1, finality in seconds instead of 15 minutes, solo staking for 1 ETH, stateless nodes running on a $7 Raspberry Pi, and more than 1 million TPS across L1 and L2. But the experiment also surfaced deep coupling between upgrades, from block access lists and gas repricing to PeerDAS, native rollups and fast finality.

Qi was blunt about the gaps. Pure-Go cryptographic implementations lag production code by roughly 10x to 100x, the consensus logic has not been battle-tested on a live beacon chain, and the jump from roughly 5 million gas per second today to a 1 billion gas-per-second target remains highly speculative under real-world MEV and contract dependency patterns.

Buterin did not claim AI would make those problems disappear. In fact, he cautioned against expecting a secure protocol from a single prompt. “There WILL be lots of wrestling with bugs and inconsistencies between implementations,” he wrote. “But even that wrestling can happen 5x faster and 10x more thoroughly.”

That, more than the headline numbers, is the point now in front of Ethereum researchers and client teams. If AI can speed both implementation and verification, the roadmap may not just be a distant architectural sketch. As Buterin put it, people should at least be open to the “possibility” that Ethereum’s roadmap could be completed “much faster than people expect, at a much higher standard of security than people expect.”

At press time, ETH traded at $1,956.

Is It Time To Give Up On Dogecoin And Shiba Inu? On-Chain Metrics Has Answers

bitcoinist.com - 4 小时 21 分钟 之前

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are currently facing bearish sentiment due to the crypto market downtrend. On-chain metrics also highlight the current sentiment, with market participants choosing to stay on the sidelines amid this downtrend.

On-chain Metrics Signal Bearish Sentiment Towards Dogecoin and Shiba Inu

Santiment data shows that Dogecoin’s Price Daily Active Addresses (DAA) divergence has dropped to -49%, signaling weak demand in the meme coin’s ecosystem even as price continues to drop. This figure marks a two-month low for DOGE and comes amid its recent drop below the psychological $0.10 level. 

Furthermore, the Daily Active Addresses on the Dogecoin network continue to waver. Data from Santiment shows that the DAA on the network dropped from as high as 87,727 on January 31 to as low as 38,696 on February 28. The total Active addresses over the last seven days are below 300,000, which also signals the low demand for the meme coin at the moment. 

Like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu is also facing weaker demand amid the recent price downtrend. Santiment data shows that the Price DAA Divergence has dropped to -29%, the lowest level this year. This notably coincides with SHIB’s decline to its lowest level this year, with the meme coin now down 25% year-to-date (YTD). 

Shiba Inu’s Daily Active Addresses have also remained flat since the start of the year, indicating that investors are opting against investing in the second-largest meme coin by market cap. For context, SHIB’s DAA on March 1 was just 1,984, down from the multi-month high of 377,000 recorded in October last year. Since the start of this year, the Daily Active Addresses have remained below 10,000. 

It is worth noting that Dogecoin and Shiba Inu remain at risk of further declines as tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalate. Further declines in these meme coins are likely to lead to a drop in these on-chain metrics as market participants stay on the sidelines amid this uncertainty. 

Derivatives Metrics In The Red As Traders Sit On The Sidelines

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu’s derivatives metrics are also in the red as crypto traders sit on the sidelines amid the current market sell-off. CoinGlass data shows that DOGE’s derivatives trading volume is down by over 34% down to $2.36 billion. Open interest is down over 9%, dropping to $907 million, while options trading volume has crashed 31%. The long/short ratio is below 1, signaling that most traders are shorting DOGE at the moment. 

Similarly, Shiba Inu’s derivative metrics signal that sellers are currently dominating the market, as bulls remain cautious amid market uncertainty. CoinGlass data shows that SHIB’s derivative trading volume has crashed 28%, down to $132 million, while open interest is down to $54 million.

War With Iran May Spark Federal Reserve Intervention, Arthur Hayes Says

bitcoinist.com - 5 小时 51 分钟 之前

Iran and the Middle East are on fire again. US and Israeli forces launched a series of airstrikes on Iran over the weekend, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — a development that sent shockwaves through global markets and sparked fresh debate about what comes next for the US economy. And amid all the chaos, one prominent voice in the crypto world is already drawing a straight line from the bombing runs to Bitcoin prices.

Arthur Hayes Makes His Case

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of crypto exchange BitMEX, published a blog post this week arguing that US military action in the Middle East has a historical pattern — and that pattern tends to be good for crypto.

His reasoning goes back decades. According to Hayes, every sitting US president since 1985 has sent forces into the Middle East. Each time, the Federal Reserve followed by cutting interest rates or pumping more money into the financial system to help cover the costs.

The Gulf War in 1990. The aftermath of the September 11 attacks in 2001. The troop surge in Afghanistan in 2009. Each episode, Hayes argues, came with a looser money supply.

His conclusion: if US President Donald Trump keeps spending heavily on what Hayes calls “Iranian nation-building,” the Fed may eventually feel pressure to ease up on its current tight monetary stance. That, in turn, could send money flowing into riskier assets — including Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Iran-US War: Markets Stay Calm For Now

So far, the markets aren’t panicking. Stock futures dipped only slightly when trading opened Monday. Oil prices spiked at first, then pulled back, erasing nearly half the early gains. The S&P 500 shed less than 1%. Financial newsletter The Kobeissi Letter was blunt about it — this was no doomsday open.

To everyone calling for World War 3:

This is NOT a futures open that is anywhere near WW3.

In fact, oil prices have already erased nearly half of their opening gap higher and the S&P 500 is down less than 1%.

Gold is up a mere 2% and Bitcoin is now positive on the day.

Don’t…

— The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) March 1, 2026

Crypto social media told a different story in tone, if not in substance. Reports say mentions of “World War 3” spiked across platforms over the weekend, according to data from analytics firm Santiment.

But those numbers were still well below the levels recorded last June, when a prior round of Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites led to nearly two weeks of direct conflict between the two countries.

A Pattern Worth Watching

Hayes himself is urging caution for now. He admits there’s no way to know how long Trump will stay committed to a costly military campaign in Iran, or how much market pain the administration can stomach before pulling back.

His advice to crypto investors is to wait — specifically for a concrete Fed rate cut or money-printing signal before making big moves.

“The time to back up the truck and buy Bitcoin,” he wrote, is right after the Fed acts, not before.

A Longer Iran War Could Send Bitcoin Higher, Arthur Hayes Says

bitcoinist.com - 7 小时 22 分钟 之前

Arthur Hayes argues that a deeper US conflict with Iran could ultimately become a bullish macro setup for Bitcoin, not because war is constructive for markets, but because it may push the Federal Reserve toward cheaper and more abundant money.

Why Bitcoin Could Surge

In his March 2 essay iOS Warfare, the BitMEX co-founder laid out a simple thesis: if President Donald Trump commits the US to a prolonged and expensive campaign tied to Iran, the political and fiscal strain could raise the odds of monetary easing. For Hayes, that matters more than the conflict itself. “The longer Trump engages in the extremely costly activity of Iranian nation-building,” he wrote, “the higher the likelihood the Fed lowers the price and increases the quantity of money to support Pax Americana’s latest bout of Middle Eastern adventurism.”

Hayes’ argument rests on a historical pattern rather than a direct forecast on oil, geopolitics or battlefield outcomes. He points to prior US military engagements in the Middle East and says major conflicts were followed, or accompanied, by easier monetary policy. In his reading, wars do not just damage confidence and strain public finances; they also create conditions in which the Fed has cover to cut rates, support liquidity and help stabilize asset markets.

To support that view, Hayes cites several episodes going back to 1990. After the Gulf War began, he notes, the Fed initially stayed put but signaled that worsening conditions could force a shift. From the August 21, 1990 FOMC discussion, he quotes: “The heightened uncertainties and the prospectively less satisfactory performance of the economy stemming from events in the Middle East had greatly complicated the formulation of an effective monetary policy. In the opinion of several members, events appeared likely to unfold in a direction that would require an easing of policy at some point to counter weakening tendencies in the economy that had been in train before the oil price increase.”

He also highlights the Fed’s response after the September 2001 attacks and the launch of the Global War on Terror. In an emergency meeting, then-Chair Alan Greenspan said: “It’s clear that the events of last week, at a minimum, have created a heightened degree of fear and uncertainty that is placing considerable downward pressure on asset prices, increasing the probability of an asset price deflation, with its obvious impact on the economy. Therefore, I propose a 50-basis point cut in the federal funds rate target.”

For Hayes, those episodes show that geopolitical shocks can become monetary events. His framing is blunt: when war dents confidence, threatens growth or pressures markets, the policy answer tends to be lower rates and more liquidity. That, in turn, is the backdrop he believes tends to favor Bitcoin.

Still, Hayes is not calling for an immediate risk-on trade. He says the market does not yet know how long Trump would stay committed to reshaping Iran, nor how much market or political pain the administration can absorb before changing course. Because of that, he argues the cleaner trade is to wait for confirmation from policy rather than front-run the thesis too early.

“The prudent action is to wait and see,” Hayes wrote. “The time to back up the truck and buy Bitcoin and high-quality shitcoins like HYPE is immediately after the Fed cuts rates and or prints money to support the government’s goals in Iran.”

At press time, Bitcoin traded at $66,218.

This Analyst Predicted The Dogecoin Price Crash, But There’s More To The Forecast

bitcoinist.com - 8 小时 51 分钟 之前

Despite maintaining its position as the leading meme coin in the market, Dogecoin has suffered immensely in the market decline. It failed to reach a new all-time high in the 2024-2025 market run-up and has crashed tremendously as selling ramped up. Even now, the bleed seems not to have stopped, with crypto analyst MyCryptoParadise warning investors that the recent recovery could be a crash.

Why The Dogecoin Pullback Could Be Temporary

The analysis focuses on Dogecoin’s recovery and its failure to break above any important levels. Instead, the crypto analyst explains that the meme coin is actually still respecting the descending resistance trendline. This failure to break shows that DOGE is still experiencing significant structural weakness.

Another important thing to note is that the price is still holding inside the 1-Hour supply zone, as well as the order block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) zone. This means that the likelihood of the Dogecoin price moving downward is still higher than the possibility of a sustained recovery.

This also spreads into the volume spread, where there has been a plateau in buying action. This trend, the crypto analyst points out, shows that there is distribution happening for DOGE. Thus, it seems the big players are using these spikes to actually sell their holdings. This means that the recovery is unlikely to last long as the price just pumps into more dumping.

Mapping Out The DOGE Price Weakness

In addition to the points above, MyCryptoParadise also outlines a key weakness confirmation that has popped up on the Dogecoin chart. This was the fact that the meme coin was still under the upper trigger line of the buying climax. In a case like this, it points to supply being way too strong that demand cannot absorb it completely.

If this weakness continues, then the recovery could be stopped dead in its tracks. The first support of the downward move would be at $0.09, where buyers would have a chance to make their stance. However, a break below this level would trigger a move toward $0.08030.

Nevertheless, there is still a chance that the bulls could take over, and the analyst says that this can only happen if the Dogecoin price can break above the resistance at $0.10875. To completely invalidate the bearish scenario, this break would have to be done with strong momentum, and that would trigger a bullish continuation.

Trump Media Plans Truth Social Spin-Off While Crypto Losses Weigh On Finances

bitcoinist.com - 周日, 03/01/2026 - 21:00

Trump Media & Technology Group is weighing a plan to spin off Truth Social into a separate publicly traded company, based on reports released this week. The move is being discussed as the company faces mounting losses tied in part to digital asset holdings. Talks are ongoing, and no final agreement has been signed.

Trump’s Truth Social Could Stand On Its Own

According to reports, the company is considering distributing shares of a new Truth Social entity to existing investors. That standalone company could later merge with a special purpose acquisition company, giving it its own stock listing. The discussions are said to be active but remain subject to board and shareholder approval.

Truth Social has served as the main social platform linked to US President Donald Trump. A spin-off would separate it from the broader corporate structure, which has recently shifted direction. By placing the platform in its own vehicle, the company could allow investors to assess the social media business apart from other ventures now underway.

Reports note that regulatory filings would be required before any transaction is completed. The structure is still being shaped behind closed doors.

Crypto-Related Losses Add Pressure

Financial results have cast a shadow over the company’s plans. Based on recent disclosures, Trump Media posted a net loss of more than $700 million for the past year, a sharp increase from the year before. A large portion of that loss has been linked to changes in the value of digital assets and related financial instruments held on its balance sheet.

Revenue remained modest, hovering in the low millions, while paper losses from asset revaluations expanded. Some of those losses were non-cash items, meaning no money left the company directly. Still, the figures were significant and weighed heavily on overall results.

The crypto exposure has drawn attention because it highlights the risks tied to volatile asset classes. When prices fall, balance sheets can suffer quickly. That impact was felt over the past reporting period, and it has shaped the company’s financial picture.

Energy Deal Reshapes Company Direction

The spin-off talks come after Trump Media agreed to merge with fusion energy firm TAE Technologies in a deal valued at about $6 billion. That agreement signaled a shift away from being seen mainly as a social media operator.

Once that merger is finalized, the company’s core focus would lean more toward energy development. Truth Social, if separated, would operate independently. Shares in the new social media company could be issued to existing holders before the broader restructuring closes.

Bitcoin Spot ETFs Record $787 Million Inflows To Break 5-Week Negative Streak

bitcoinist.com - 周日, 03/01/2026 - 19:00

The US Bitcoin Spot ETFs have experienced a resurgence in market inflows following an extended period of overwhelming withdrawals amid a deep price correction. The positive netflows recorded last week represent the first in six trading weeks, five of which resulted in total net outflows valued at $3.8 billion. Notably, the rebound in ETF inflows is independent of Bitcoin’s choppy price action, indicating that institutional investors may be building positions for a potential market recovery.

Bitcoin Spot ETFs End February On Red Note Despite Late Surge

According to data from SoSoValue, investors deposited an excess of $787.31 million in the Bitcoin Spot ETFs between February 23 and 27, representing a positive ending to a rather turbulent trading month. Despite this late market rally, February still reported total net outflows of $206.52 million, representing the fourth consecutive negative monthly performance.

With respect to the last trading week, BlackRock’s IBIT recorded a staggering net deposit of $502.99 million, accounting for a significant portion of investors’ bullish activity. The undisputed market leader now boasts of total cumulative net inflows of $61.81 billion within 28 trading months. Interestingly, Grayscale’s GBTC emerged as a distant runner-up with aggregate inflows of around $89.43 million, and remains the third largest Bitcoin Spot ETFs with net assets of $10.29 billion.

Meanwhile, Bitwise’s BITB also recorded a standout performance with net inflows of $68.30 million, representing its first in three trading weeks. Fidelity’s FBTC, Grayscale’s BTC, Ark Invest/21 Shares, and VanEck’s HODL also experienced significant net deposits, ranging between $19 million to $34 million. On the other hand, Invesco’s BTCO and Franklin Templeton’s EZBC registered minimal net inflows of around $2m -$3 million, while Hashdex’s DEFI, WisdomTree’s BTCW, and Valkryie’s BRRR reported zero netflows.

At the time of writing, the total cumulative netflows of the Bitcoin Spot ETFs are $54.80 billion, while total net assets are now valued at $83.40 billion, representing 6.36% of the Bitcoin market cap. Meanwhile, Bitcoin continues to trade at $66,504.55, reflecting a 3.82% gain in the past day.

Ethereum Spot ETFs Record First Green Performance In 6 Weeks

Alongside their Bitcoin counterparts, the Ethereum Spot ETFs also experienced a turnaround in investor activity over the last week. More data from SoSoValue shows these investment funds registered a total netflow of $80.46 million, to terminate a five-week negative streak that began in mid-January. Total cumulative inflows for the Ethereum ETFs are now valued at $11.60 billion, while net assets are estimated at $10.96 billion.

Hyperliquid Weekend Volume Up As Traders Bet On Commodities Amid US-Iran Conflict

bitcoinist.com - 周日, 03/01/2026 - 17:00

According to a recent report, Hyperliquid saw the surge in trading volume over the weekend, as it became the venue to bet on commodities and other traditional asset classes. Following the escalation of tensions between the United States, Israel, and Iran, Bitcoin and the crypto market succumbed to significant downward pressure.

However, the crypto market wasn’t the only asset class that saw trader activity on Saturday, February 28, as perpetual swap futures tied to various commodities on Hyperliquid also witnessed significant price action. These moves offered some insight into what to expect when the global financial markets open on Monday.

Hyperliquid Trading Volume Surges For Traditional Assets

According to the latest market data, perpetual swap futures of commodities, including oil, gold, and silver, saw significant jumps in their prices on Saturday. This price rise was triggered by the military actions of the United States and Israel against Iran, who responded on the day by targeting specific US assets in the Middle East.

Specifically, the price of oil jumped by more than 5%, as Iran threatened to restrict the passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz is a body of water that connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, and it controls ~20% of the world’s petroleum liquids consumption.

The Strait of Hormuz situation:

Reuters is now reporting that Iran is notifying vessels that it is CLOSING the Strait of Hormuz.

If officially closed, 20+ MILLION barrels of oil PER DAY will be impacted, or 20% of global supply.

What’s next? Let us explain.

— The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) February 28, 2026

Unsurprisingly, these price rises were backed by significant volume, as traders looked for war risk hedges in Hyperliquid’s round-the-clock perp market. Market data shows that silver led activity among the commodity-linked perps on the exchange, with over $227 in trading volume on Saturday. Meanwhile, the gold perpetual swap futures recorded a trading volume of approximately $173 million on the day.

The events of the past weekend and the ensuing market activity has reopened the conversations around round-the-clock trading for all asset classes. According to a Bloomberg report, Wall Street is becoming more attentive to platforms like Hyperliquid, where users are allowed to create perpetual futures tied to broader assets, including equities and commodities.

Jake Ostrovskis, head of over-the-counter trading at Wintermute, told Bloomberg:

As Middle East tensions escalated, crypto sold off and because Bitcoin trades 24/7, it became the most liquid asset available for traders looking to hedge or express a view on the move. The fact that BTC is acting as a proxy for broader risk being the only market open is exactly why more asset classes, commodities included and need to move to 24/7 trading. Round-the-clock price discovery is a structural upgrade for market efficiency, and we’re heading in the right direction.

Ultimately, this growing conversation around round-the-clock somewhat ties into recent efforts by the large financial institutions to embrace tokenization.

HYPE Price Jumps 20%

As a result of the activity and volume surge, the price of HYPE, Hyperliquid’s native token, enjoyed a bullish resurgence of nearly 20% on Saturday. As of this writing, the cryptocurrency is vaued at about $30.5.
