The crypto market experienced significant volatility in the first week of March due to unexpected news from President Trump. The announcement of plans to include altcoins in US crypto reserves, along with new tax policies, influenced capital flows and resulted in a surge in liquidation volume, reaching $1 billion. Liquidation maps for XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA) suggest the potential for major liquidations. Traders are leaning more towards long positions on XRP, but concerns arise with 500 million XRP being unlocked from escrow and Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen still holding over 2.7 billion XRP. For SOL, a wallet linked to FTX/Alameda has started transferring SOL to Binance, potentially creating selling pressure. ADA has the lowest market depth among the altcoins included in the US crypto reserve, indicating higher volatility and risk of liquidation. The current market is highly sensitive and unpredictable news increases risks for short-term traders using high leverage.
