Cryptocurrency Market Volatility: Three Coins to Approach with Caution

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing increased volatility as it enters March, with some assets being more susceptible to sharp price movements than others. In a recent analysis by Bitget, three cryptocurrencies have been identified as particularly high-risk: Shiba Inu ($SHIB), Tron ($TRX), and Ethereum ($ETH).

Shiba Inu has struggled in the ongoing downturn, with its value down 16% year to date. Analysts attribute this decline to structural issues such as inflationary supply without a scarcity mechanism, waning hype around its ecosystem, and vulnerability to broader altcoin underperformance.

Tron also faces challenges due to ongoing governance concerns, regulatory pressures, and questions about its long-term utility in the DeFi landscape. Despite showing some resilience in stablecoin volumes, broader weakness in the market poses a significant threat.

Ethereum has been one of the worst-performing major cryptocurrencies in 2026, down over 30% year to date. Its weakness is attributed to fading scarcity narratives, declining relative DeFi activity, and a heavy correlation to Bitcoin's dominance.
