forklog.media Suno v5.5 Enables Custom AI Models and Voice Track Generation

Suno has unveiled AI model v5.5 along with features designed to "showcase musical individuality." "The capabilities we are introducing today—voice accuracy, personalized sound, custom solutions—lay the groundwork for the next generation of music models, which we will launch with the industry later this year," the announcement states. The developers emphasized that the updated model not only aids in composing music but also reflects the author's individuality. The following solutions have been added: Voices — allows users to record their vocals and use them in compositions; Custom Models — enables the creation of a personalized version of v5.5. Users upload their tracks, based on which the algorithm generates similar music; My Taste — a system that gradually learns the user's musical preferences and applies them in its work. The first two solutions are available to Pro and Premier subscribers, while the last one is open to all users. To use the vocal recording feature, verification is required. The service will ask users to read a control text from the screen and then compare audio fragments to ensure the voice indeed belongs to the user. Suno assured that all voices remain private—only the author can use them. In the future, there are plans to add the ability to share sound, but "with full control maintained." Back in September 2025, Suno introduced the "world's first" generative DAW—Suno Studio, which "radically reimagines the music creation process."

forklog.media Oil and Precious Metals Oust Altcoins, Boosting Hyperliquid’s Turnover

In the first quarter, perpetual futures on oil and precious metals accounted for over 67% of the trading volume of HIP-3 contracts on the Hyperliquid exchange, according to a study by Sygnum Bank. 💡Sygnum Bank's Digital Nugget: Are traditional assets finding a home on decentralised rails?We are now witnessing a shift in the form of crypto exchanges (both centralised and decentralised) offering exposure to traditional assets, with volumes now reaching impressive levels… pic.twitter.com/zSE2Hh103g— Sygnum Bank (@sygnumofficial) March 26, 2026 Previously, the majority of activity (90%) in user-defined markets was concentrated on indices. Now, their share has decreased to 17%. Record Activity Analysts linked the trend shift to investors moving from altcoins to traditional assets amid geopolitical instability. The conflict in the Middle East led to logistical disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil passes. The subsequent rise in prices triggered a surge in oil derivative trading. Experts emphasize that traditional platforms do not operate at night and on weekends, although significant news events often occur during these times. In such conditions, round-the-clock on-chain contracts have become the only way to hedge risks in real time. Source: Sygnum. Since January, trading volumes of HIP-3 on weekends have increased ninefold. As a result, Hyperliquid's daily turnover in March reached a record $5.4 billion. Source: Sygnum. HYPE Support New "micro-markets" have evolved into full-fledged trading platforms, according to Sygnum. They provide the exchange with additional commission income, accelerate token buybacks, and support the price of the native HYPE coin. Since the beginning of the year, the asset has appreciated by 62%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has lost 20%, and Ethereum 29%. Hourly chart of HYPE/USDT on Bybit exchange. Source: TradingView. HYPE also entered the top 15 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, reaching $214.8 million. Source: CoinGecko. Sygnum's Forecast Analysts note a growing interest in commodity markets: in March, Binance launched trading of WTI oil and natural gas contracts through the Binance Wallet service. Traditional platforms are also increasingly exploring the segment of tokenized securities. Last week, the SEC approved a joint pilot project by Nasdaq and Kraken for trading digitized high-liquidity stocks. Simultaneously, Intercontinental Exchange — the parent company of the NYSE — invested in OKX. Users of the platform will be able to trade tokenized securities and derivatives listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Sygnum believes that TradFi will continue its gradual transition to on-chain, although for now, this demand is largely met by specialized decentralized platforms like Hyperliquid. "If altcoins remain merely proxy instruments for Bitcoin amid low liquidity, cryptocurrency users may shift to traditional assets with a better risk-reward ratio," experts noted. A broad shift towards risk would require de-escalation in the Middle East and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. However, the current environment only accelerates the adoption of tokenized RWA by both TradFi and the crypto market. In March, NYSE engaged Securitize to launch trading of digitized stocks. Asset manager Franklin Templeton announced a partnership with Ondo Finance. The company will issue tokenized versions of its ETFs, which will be directly accessible through crypto wallets.

forklog.media David Sacks Steps Down as White House ‘Crypto Czar’

Entrepreneur David Sacks has concluded his 130-day tenure as a special advisor to Donald Trump on AI and digital assets. The former 'crypto czar' has become the co-chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), reports Bloomberg. "Continuing my work as co-chair of PCAST, I will be able to provide recommendations not only on AI but on a broader range of technological topics," he stated. The council was established by presidential order in January 2025, and Trump recently approved its first composition. Alongside Sacks, senior advisor Michael Kratsios has also been appointed as co-chair. PCAST includes 13 leaders from the technology sector, among them Jensen Huang (Nvidia), Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Lisa Su (AMD), Larry Ellison (Oracle), Marc Andreessen (Andreessen Horowitz), and Michael Dell (Dell Technologies). The sole representative from the crypto industry on the council is Fred Ehrsam, co-founder of Coinbase and the venture fund Paradigm. Sacks stated that one of PCAST's key tasks is the unification of the U.S. AI strategy at both federal and regional levels. "Currently, 50 states regulate this area differently, creating a patchwork regime that makes it difficult for innovators to comply. Therefore, the president has called for unified rules," he explained. Sacks to Continue Involvement with Cryptocurrencies In December 2024, the U.S. president appointed Sacks as the first-ever White House 'czar' for virtual assets and artificial intelligence. Before taking office, the entrepreneur mentioned that he owned cryptocurrencies but sold them all before starting his role in the administration. One of his tasks was to work on the regulatory framework for the industry. Sacks assisted the President's Working Group on Financial Markets in releasing a report with recommendations for industry regulation in July. The entrepreneur also played a role in the passage of the GENIUS Act, focused on stablecoins. He is currently continuing to promote the CLARITY Act, which is crucial for the market. According to sources from Fox Business, Sacks will remain the 'crypto and AI czar' but with expanded powers. Back in late January 2026, Trump nominated Kevin Warsh, "friendly to cryptocurrencies," for the position of head of the Federal Reserve.

forklog.media The agent economy: how ERC-8004 and x402 turn AI into a market participant

Modern AI models can analyse financial statements in seconds or write complex code. Yet even OpenAI’s systems still cannot execute the simplest transaction on their own. This paradox is the chief barrier to the technological singularity, because neural networks will realise their potential only once they become autonomous economic actors. We examine why the “digital adviser” concept is going out of date, and how new blockchain standards are turning algorithms into fully fledged market participants. The paradox of the digital middleman As built today, any AI assistant is merely an advanced counsellor. It can choose the optimal laptop for specific tasks and a budget, but the final step is always left to a human. Having to enter card details, pass authentication and confirm a transfer keeps neural nets as a mere digital layer. But the recommendation-only model is gradually losing relevance. As long as an algorithm needs manual approval for every transaction, it works more like an overengineered search engine. True autonomy begins by dropping biometric payment confirmations in favour of direct machine-to-machine (M2M) interaction. The adoption of blockchain standards ERC-8004 and x402 marks a shift from an “internet of information” to an “internet of actions”. These are not just new specs but the basic infrastructure of an autonomous agent economy. Soon, algorithms are likely to stop asking permission and start managing capital on their own, selecting counterparties and striking deals in milliseconds. The chief buyer online will not be a person but a digital twin—with its own identifier, wallet and verifiable on-chain reputation. A trust architecture: ERC-8004 as passport, x402 as wallet In human society, trust is built over decades, backed by legal institutions and state guarantees. In a world of algorithms, where operations happen in fractions of a second, traditional checks do not work. To automate machine payments safely and avoid corporate monopolies, identification and value transfer must be separated. An AI agent should be able to prove its reliability without revealing the owner’s confidential data. According to Tiger Research, combining ERC-8004 and x402 provides a complete base for autonomous bots. Additional infrastructure supports this: for example, OpenClaw lets agents execute tasks on local devices, and AgentKit from World (formerly Worldcoin) handles identity verification in a decentralised environment. ERC-8004: a new kind of identity The ERC-8004 standard proposes an identity “passport” in NFT form. Unlike familiar collectibles, it is a dynamic container for structured data. On-chain reputation is decisive for an AI agent, directly affecting its economic efficiency. A human can switch banks or open a new account; for an algorithm, losing points in an open protocol can instantly cut it off from reputable counterparties. ERC-8004’s architecture has three key elements: Identity: a unique address and technical profile distinguishing an agent among millions of bots, tightly bound to a specific owner or developer; Reputation: an accumulative score of past performance. Every completed task, lack of failures and honest payment raises the score, written directly into the NFT’s metadata; Validation: a confirmation mechanism and rule set that establishes spending limits and categories of goods the algorithm may buy without human involvement. Key components of the ERC-8004 standard. Source: Tiger Research, ForkLog. x402: digital wallet and settlement rail If ERC-8004 acts as a passport, x402 is the payments infrastructure. Backed by Coinbase, the standard revives HTTP status code 402 (Payment Required), proposed in 1997. It saw little use on the classical web but becomes a basic protocol for server–bot interaction in an agent economy. The flow works as follows: when an agent requests data via an API, the server returns a 402 along with billing details. The bot executes a transaction and attaches the payment hash to a repeat request. This removes the need for traditional SaaS subscriptions and account registrations. A practical example: an AI agent buys a laptop Tiger Research analysts illustrate a decentralised transaction with an AI assistant, Ekko, tasked with buying a laptop for $800. The process has three stages: Verification. Ekko connects to a shop’s bot. The parties exchange ERC-8004 data. The buyer confirms a spending limit and a reputation score of 72; the seller confirms stock and its score of 70. Escrow contract. Using x402, funds move to a smart contract. The sum is locked until logistics confirm delivery. Neither the store nor Ekko’s owner can withdraw unilaterally. Execution and rating updates. Once the courier records delivery, the smart contract automatically sends $800 to the seller. The NFT passports of both parties are updated at once. For prompt payment and adherence to terms, Ekko gets eight additional reputation points, unlocking future discounts as a trusted client. This approach addresses AI’s probabilistic behaviour. Unlike classic software, language models can err. Blockchain counteracts that uncertainty with strict determinism: either the smart contract’s conditions are met and paid, or the transaction is cancelled. An infrastructure split: Big Tech vs crypto Autonomous payments are already exposing a clash of formats. On one side stand tech giants seeking to keep control via closed ecosystems; on the other, the crypto industry offers an open, intermediary-free architecture. The choice between them will shape digital consumption for decades. Google AP2: safety at the cost of limits In September 2025 Google unveiled the Agent Payment Protocol 2.0 (AP2). Its architecture rests on a rigid three-layer model: Intent: the user’s specific need; Cart: rule-based selection and automatic parameter checks (for instance, a price cap); Payment Mandate: an authorisation to debit funds via Google Pay. The protocol’s main constraint is that it supports only verified merchants. AP2 partners. Source: Google Cloud. That creates a safer environment but turns an AI assistant into the equivalent of an intern with a corporate card, allowed to shop only on pre-approved venues. In effect, Google plays censor: it minimises algorithmic risk by sharply limiting market freedom. Stripe and Tempo: a play for the mass market Payments giant Stripe, together with Paradigm, launched the L1 Tempo mainnet. As part of the initiative the partners unveiled MPP, now being tested by Anthropic, OpenAI, Mastercard and Visa. The new protocol lets AI agents open sessions for continuous settlement. An algorithm might reserve $100 and spend it on micropayments as it consumes compute or databases. The system automatically rolls up thousands of such transfers into a single final on-chain payment. That architecture is critical for services like DoorDash or Shopify, where high-frequency operations preclude manual confirmation. Launching a proprietary blockchain is a logical step in Stripe’s crypto expansion. The company had already strengthened its digital-asset footprint by acquiring Bridge and wallet provider Privy. In September last year it also announced Open Issuance for stablecoin issuance and AI-powered commercial tools. Scale gives Stripe a substantial edge. Valued at $107bn, the company annually processes $1.4trn of transactions across 195 countries. Over the year, net revenue rose 28% to $5.1bn. JPMorgan analysts reckon the firm could lead a “twin revolution in AI and money movement”. They expect Stripe to tap a new market exceeding $350bn by decade’s end. CoinGecko: ditching subscriptions Aggregator CoinGecko is already demonstrating x402 in practice. The platform opened endpoints so autonomous agents can request information at $0.01 per call. Algorithms no longer need API keys, account registrations or linked bank cards. This is pay-per-use in pure form—the bot pays for specific data directly in USDC stablecoins. That makes the classic subscription model ill-suited to machine interaction. There is little point in a $500 monthly plan if an AI agent needs only ten requests a day to do its job. Comparing architectures for agent payments Tech giants prefer predictability, achieved through strict constraints. The crypto industry, by contrast, bets on efficiency and an open, permissionless design. Comparison of the two main approaches to agent payments. Source: Tiger Research, ForkLog. Stablecoins: the lifeblood of the agent economy Volatile assets like bitcoin or Ethereum are ill-suited to machine settlement. AI agents need budget predictability, making stablecoins the foundation of the new economic system. Bernstein analysts emphasise: “stable coins are an ideal medium for programmable logic. At the protocol level you can embed automatic revenue splits, staged payouts or escrow conditions.” Delphi Digital points to a “new wave” of blockchains built specifically for stablecoin payments and capable of serving institutional demand. The next wave of blockchains is built to settle payments instead of tokens.General purpose chains weren't designed for institutional payment flows. A new wave of chains built for stablecoin payments is filling that gap, and none of them are going after the same market.The two… pic.twitter.com/cSycn47QXz— Delphi Digital (@Delphi_Digital) March 20, 2026 In 2026 a notable shift occurred: USDC’s adjusted transaction volume overtook USDT for the first time in seven years. The trend reflects Circle’s focus on institutions and deep integration with second-layer (L2) networks such as Base. Stripe already uses this setup for USDC settlements. The company understands that only high blockchain throughput and low fees make bot micropayments economically viable. For now, the numbers are modest. Coinbase’s x402 processes about $25m a month, while Stripe’s MPP recorded just $5,000 in its first week. These figures merely reflect an early stage of development. Most ERC-8004-enabled AI agents run on BNB Chain (over 45,000); Base (>23,000), Ethereum (>14,000) and Monad (>8,000) also show solid numbers. Source: 8004scan. Many analysts expect the “agent internet” to become the primary consumer of stablecoin liquidity in the near future. Bot demand for stable settlement units will put heavy pressure on DeFi protocols, forcing them to adapt to algorithms rather than “degens”. Market consequences: the advertising model in crisis Shifting the end user from human to algorithm threatens the business models that have underpinned the internet for 30 years. The traditional attention economy—dependent on clicks and banner views—makes little sense when machines make financial decisions. The sunset of the attention economy a16z experts noted a fundamental problem: AI agents do not click bright links, watch video ads or respond to marketers’ emotional cues. An autonomous bot optimises purely for the brief—price, supplier reputation and delivery speed. If programs generate most traffic, the classic ad budgets of firms like Google and Meta will lose effectiveness. Spend may shift to algorithmic subsidisation and direct influence over search datasets. Sam Ragsdale of Merit Systems points to a historical irony. It was the advertising industry that bankrolled the open internet whose datasets later trained neural nets. Now those same technologies are steadily undermining the foundations of the classic monetisation model. Media and labour will change For publishers this could mean payment per verified fact or token. Instead of courting user traffic to ad-filled pages, platforms are likely to sell structured data to algorithms via microtransactions. An “economy of outcomes” is emerging in which the prime asset is not captured attention but accuracy and freshness. The trend will reshape employment, too. Specialists with corporate cards will give way to “agent-entrepreneurs”. Companies will assign algorithms their own budgets within set limits. A digital assistant will be able to hire other bot subcontractors for services like rendering or data analysis to complete a task most efficiently. Humans will set overarching goals and manage the reputation of their bot fleets. Between hype and singularity The agent economy is not distant science fiction but a nascent reality. The ratification of ERC-8004 and x402, the Tempo mainnet launch and CoinGecko’s micropayments integration show that the system’s basic technical frame already exists. The industry is moving from AI as a mere adviser to algorithms that can manage real assets. For market participants, priorities are shifting. Success depends less on the size of a neural net than on the reliability and openness of the payments stack. Developers who weave financial operations into standard network requests will hold a strategic edge. Expect transaction chains where autonomous programs hire each other. In this paradigm, on-chain reputation and L2-based stablecoin settlement will supplant paperwork. Every action by an algorithm will receive instant financial confirmation, multiplying efficiency. The focus is changing: from basic model training to payments integration. High developer activity and rapid protocol roll-outs point to strong potential for this emerging economic model. AI agents may well prove more rational and predictable market participants than humans.

forklog.media Bitcoin’s Volatility Falls Below Levels of ‘Magnificent Seven’ Stocks

The current volatility of the leading cryptocurrency is approximately half of what it was five years ago, even after the recent downturn. This observation was made by analysts at Charles Schwab. In 2025, Bitcoin's historical volatility (HV) indicator stood at 42%. In 2021, HV was around 80%. During the same period, the average true range of the digital gold's price (ATR/P) halved from 6.8% to 3.4%. Bitcoin's HV was lower than some of the 'Magnificent Seven' stocks, such as Nvidia (50%) and Tesla (63%), and was not significantly different from silver futures (38%). Source: Charles Schwab. Analysts also noted that over the past three years, Bitcoin's deepest decline was 50%. The largest drop for TSLA reached 54%, and for NVDA, it was 37%. Source: Charles Schwab. "Looking at the situation over a five-year span, the picture is somewhat different. All three assets fell sharply during the 2022 bear market, with Bitcoin dropping the most—77% from peak to trough. By comparison, TSLA fell 74%, and NVDA 66%," added Charles Schwab. Experts observed that at the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026, Bitcoin investors experienced the largest drawdown in several years, with the coin losing nearly half its value. Although the leading cryptocurrency's volatility has since stabilized, analysts noted that the asset is still capable of sharp fluctuations. In cryptocurrency markets, Bitcoin's relative stability has become more pronounced. Meanwhile, Ethereum continues to trade with greater volatility and deeper drawdowns. Charles Schwab concluded that the "evolution" of digital gold reflects its growing integration with traditional financial structures. Earlier, an analyst under the pseudonym Darkfost reported a large-scale withdrawal of funds from crypto exchanges. The situation indicates a shift of investors into an accumulation phase.
