On Friday, Solana's price jumped 10.3%, reclaiming the $80 area and briefly moving past $85 after trading between $78 and $88 and dipping to $67 during the prior day's correction. Some market analysts see a possible move toward $88 and potentially the $90–$96 zone if bullish momentum continues, while others caution that losing support around $77–$78 could expose SOL to deeper declines toward $51 or even $40. As of the latest available data, Solana is trading at $84.17, down 2.5% on the weekly timeframe.

Decred climbed from a local low of $21 to a high of $25.34 before easing to $24.12, locking in an 11.72% daily gain as its market cap revisited the $400 million region. Buyer strength and accumulation metrics improved, suggesting sustained upside momentum that could support a move back above $25 and another test of the $27 resistance if demand persists.

Arbitrum’s ARB token has fallen about 40% in 2026 after losing over 70% in 2025, with its price dropping below $0.20 and all holders currently at a loss. At the same time, stablecoin capitalization on the network has risen by nearly $65 million and ETHZilla is rolling out a real-world asset jet-engine income token on Arbitrum, positioning the chain to tap growing RWA demand despite weak TVL.

Solana rose as Bitcoin stabilized above $68,000, with derivatives open interest climbing across major venues. The advance followed a reclaim of intraday structure and improving on-chain activity, as active addresses trend back toward late‑2024 highs. Traders are watching acceptance above the $85–$90 area as a potential sign that selling pressure is easing.

RLUSD launched in December 2024, followed by a January 2026 Binance listing and 12 February XRPL deposits that shifted activity from custody to on-chain use. Circulating supply reached about $1.52 billion by mid‑February 2026, with treasury mints and measured burns balancing liquidity as Ethereum held nearly $1.2 billion and XRPL about $348 million.

A US Army veteran and prominent XRP community figure has forecast that XRP could overtake Bitcoin as the largest cryptocurrency within six years. His view emerges amid market volatility, with Bitcoin’s valuation retreating and XRP trading choppily, while Bitcoin’s market cap stands near $1.37 trillion versus XRP’s $86 billion. Based on his reading of long-term trendlines, he argues that regardless of whether Bitcoin recovers or continues to weaken, XRP could eventually claim the top spot, though analysts caution this remains highly speculative.

Aave Labs has proposed an "Aave will win" framework that would send 100% of revenue from Aave-branded products, such as Aave.com, its mobile app, Aave Card and Aave Horizon, to the Aave DAO. In exchange, the company is asking the DAO for $50 million, including 75,000 AAVE, and the plan has drawn criticism from DAO members who see the request as extractive and say the governance rift remains unresolved.

On February 13, 2026, Grayscale filed a proposal with the US SEC to convert its AAVE trust into an ETF that would trade on NYSE Arca, following a similar AAVE ETF filing by Bitwise in December of the previous year. AAVE, the governance token of the Aave protocol, has a market cap of about $1.8 billion and was trading at $119.02, up 4.87% in 24 hours, while Grayscale also moves to reshape its NEAR trust as an ETF and plans a 2.5% sponsor fee for the proposed AAVE product.
