XRP price has rebounded nearly 5% during the past 24 hours to trade at about $1.40 on Tuesday, March 10, 2026.

The large-cap altcoin posted a 14% uptick in its daily average trading volume to hover about $2.42 billion, according to crypto market data platform CoinMarketCap.

As a result, the coin’s market cap surged by $4 billion to hover around $86.69 billion at press time.

Top reasons why XRP price gained today

The primary reason why XRP price rebounded today was due to the macro crypto rally led by Bitcoin (BTC). Amid the easing geopolitical tensions, the total crypto market cap gained 3.72% to hover around $2.41 trillion.

This altcoin has also registered a gradual increase in its Open Interest (OI), as evidenced by data from CoinGlass. Since March 2, its OI surged from $2.16 billion to hover about $2.39 billion, signaling renewed interest from traders.

Most importantly, the altcoin’s exchange reserves have dropped from over 2.767 billion on March 4, to around 2.725 billion at press time, according to data from CryptoQuant. Historically, a declining supply of a coin or token on crypto exchanges is perceived as bullish and vice versa.

From a technical analysis standpoint, the XRP/USD pair in the 4-hour timeframe has signaled further bullish momentum. Furthermore, the Bollinger Bands have been squeezing in the past five weeks, and a breakout has potentially formed.

Cautionary note for crypto buyers

Amid the rising optimism for a rebound, the U.S. spot XRP Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have been bleeding during the past three days. On Monday, the U.S. spot XRP ETFs registered a net cash outflow of about $18.11 million.

A rising cash outflow on its ETFs amid a cumulative long position could be a recipe for a long squeeze. Moreover, the coin’s price has been trapped in a macro falling trend, catalyzed by panic sellers due to its high unrealized losses.

Bio Protocol Raises $6.9M to Advance AI-Powered Decentralized Science

The post Bio Protocol Raises $6.9M to Advance AI-Powered Decentralized Science appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Decentralized science (DeSci) platform Bio Protocol secured backing from investors including Maelstrom Fund and Animoca Brands to expand its artificial intelligence-native biotech research framework.  Bio Protocol announced Wednesday that it had raised $6.9 million in funding, reflecting growing interest in decentralized approaches to drug discovery that integrate AI, blockchain and community engagement.  Maelstrom founder Arthur Hayes described Bio Protocol as a potential “category-defining launchpad” for scientific research. “If it works, it’s not just a launchpad – it’s the birth of an AI-native research market,” he said. Hayes also highlighted how it opens up research opportunities that communities find appealing, not just what academics find interesting.  Cointelegraph reached out to Maelstrom and Animoca for more information, but did not receive a response by publication.  Source: Bio Protocol Speeding up science using AI and crypto DeSci is a movement that uses blockchain technology, crypto incentives and decentralized governance to change how scientific research is conducted, funded and shared. Bio Protocol said it’s speeding up science by integrating crypto and AI. Its approach compresses the drug discovery pipeline using blockchain-based funding and coordination.  Instead of waiting years for traditional grants to be awarded or pharma partnerships to be formed, researchers can use decentralized AI agents, dubbed “BioAgents” that generate hypotheses, connect to onchain wallets and channel community-raised capital into experiments.  Each step of the process will be recorded onchain, ensuring that contributors will be credited and maintaining an immutable record of research progress.  The protocol also uses crypto-native incentives to keep research moving faster. It uses tokenized intellectual property, staking systems and loyalty rewards to align investors, researchers and community members around shared outcomes.  Related: ‘Science needs an update’: How DeSci can fix junk science and cure baldness Addressing inefficiencies in academic research Simon Dedic, the founder of Moonrock Capital, one of Bio…
