Ripple has introduced what it calls the first treasury management system designed with native digital asset functionality. The new platform, "Ripple Treasury," is aimed at CFOs and treasury teams, enabling them to manage traditional fiat alongside digital assets such as $XRP and RLUSD from a single interface.

B2C2, a unit of SBI Holdings, has selected Solana as its primary network for settling stablecoin transactions for institutional clients.

Resolv Labs says an attacker minted 80 million USR after obtaining a compromised private key, and that it has now completed about 98% of redemptions for whitelisted USR holders. CEO Ivan Kozlov said recovery for other user segments is still in progress, with no firm timeline. Kozlov said the first redemption phase focused on whitelisted USR holders. Verified wallets were processed manually within 24 hours, a step the team said helped contain market disruption. Nonwhitelisted holders from before the exploit remain in a waiting phase, though Kozlov reiterated the company's 1:1 redemption commitment and said a technical solution is still being developed. Post-exploit holders, liquidity providers and RLP participants face a more complicated path, according to Kozlov, requiring alignment across legal, technical and ecosystem considerations. He said no single approach has been finalized. On the investigation, Kozlov said work to date has not found evidence of insider involvement. The review is being conducted with cybersecurity firm Mandiant and blockchain intelligence group zeroShadow. The exploited key was tied to a privileged minting role and lacked multisignature controls and an on-chain mint cap, enabling large-scale token creation. Resolv has retained legal counsel including Paul Hastings and Carey Olsen. Kozlov said legal constraints are influencing what the company can share publicly. RLP token holders, who absorbed initial losses by design, remain a key uncertainty. Redemptions for RLP are still paused, and Kozlov said a recovery plan is being developed but provided no details. He also acknowledged that prior audits, monitoring and bug bounty efforts did not prevent the incident. The company said it will provide further updates as recovery work continues.

New regulatory disclosures are drawing fresh attention to institutional exposure to XRP after 21Shares detailed the scale of holdings inside its exchange-traded fund. In its newly published Annual 10-K, 21Shares reported that its XRP ETF holds more than 135 million XRP, with total net assets of about $247 million and 13.89 million shares outstanding. The filing marks the first full-year report since the product's launch. The report shows XRP holdings rose from 100 million in 2024 to over 135 million in 2025, a gain of more than 35% despite ongoing volatility and price pressure across the crypto market. Net assets increased from roughly $209 million in 2024 to nearly $247 million in 2025, up about 18% over the period. The filing also notes the ETF's XRP position is currently below its average acquisition cost, pointing to unrealized losses driven by market conditions rather than a decline in participation. The fund remains highly concentrated, with nearly 100% of capital allocated directly to XRP and minimal liabilities, reinforcing its function as a pure-play exposure vehicle. Shares outstanding grew from 10 million to 13.89 million, an increase of almost 39%. Over the same period, net asset value per share fell in line with broader XRP price moves. 21Shares estimates its product represents about 33% to 37% of the total XRP ETF market, offering a window into how institutional allocations are distributed through regulated XRP-linked vehicles. The XRP held in the ETF is maintained in custody structures, limiting its immediate availability for active trading. Even so, price action has yet to reflect the scale of the accumulation, suggesting broader market forces continue to dominate. On March 31, 2026, a market post circulated figures from the filing: 135.56 million XRP held, $247 million in net assets, and 13.89 million shares outstanding, describing it as 21Shares' first full-year report since launch.

The crypto market steadied over the past 24 hours, with major tokens posting modest gains. Algorand (ALGO) outperformed, rallying 22% on the day. Traders are split on what comes next, with some calling for additional short-term upside and others warning that a pullback may be near. On April 1, ALGO climbed above $0.10 for the first time since February, pushing its market capitalization close to the psychologically important $1 billion level. CoinMarketCap data shows ALGO among the most-trending cryptocurrencies over the past day, a move widely linked to Google's latest quantum computing research. Google's quantum computing team recently released a white paper arguing that future quantum machines could break the cryptography used by Bitcoin and other networks more easily than previously expected. The paper highlights Algorand as "an example of real-world deployment of PQC on an otherwise quantum-vulnerable blockchain," and credits the project for using post-quantum Falcon digital signatures for smart transactions and state proofs. Algorand Foundation said that, outside of Bitcoin and Ethereum, no blockchain received more attention in the report than Algorand. "The alarm has been sounded. Algorand has been answering it for years," the team wrote on X. The rally also drew fresh technical calls. X user Aman said ALGO bounced off support after a falling-wedge breakout, signaling a bullish reversal. Another analyst, Clifton Fx, said ALGO is "trying to break the descending channel" on the daily chart; a breakout backed by a strong momentum candle could open the door to a move toward nearly $0.20. Even after the surge, ALGO remains far below its all-time high of $3.23 set in summer 2019. Momentum indicators are also flashing caution: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has climbed above 80, typically associated with overbought conditions and an increased risk of a near-term correction. RSI readings below 30 are often viewed as potential buying zones.
