Bitcoin is weathering the Iran crisis better than major precious metals, JPMorgan analysts have concluded, reports The Block. Since early March, gold has fallen 15%. Rising interest rates and a stronger dollar have weighed on an overheated market. According to the bank’s experts, record highs (gold — $5,500, silver — $120) left these assets vulnerable to mass profit-taking and liquidations as conditions shifted. Over the past three weeks, gold exchange-traded funds have lost about $11 billion. Silver ETFs shed all the assets accumulated since last summer. Over the same period, bitcoin-based vehicles attracted $1.3 billion. Inflow comparison for gold, silver and bitcoin ETFs. Source: JPMorgan/The Block. Liquidity recovers After the outbreak of the conflict, crypto activity in Iran surged: locals moved funds off domestic exchanges to non-custodial wallets and international platforms. In global markets, bitcoin open interest jumped to $30 billion, CryptoQuant noted. Open interest surged to ~$30B as prices rallied.Binance led inflows, with BTC +$829M and ETH +$1.6B, while activity concentrated on top exchanges.Leverage is flowing into major venues, not broad market participation. pic.twitter.com/uTolRnxtVU— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) March 26, 2026 Inflows concentrated on the largest venues: Binance saw $829 million in bitcoin and $1.6 billion in Ethereum, while activity on smaller exchanges remained muted. Institutional positioning also shifted. JPMorgan’s proxy indicator (based on open interest on CME) showed accumulation in gold and silver in late 2025 to early 2026, then began to fall from January. Positioning in bitcoin futures remained stable. Trend-following traders amplified market moves. Signals for precious metals fell from overbought into sub‑neutral territory — consistent with liquidations. For bitcoin, by contrast, signals have been recovering from oversold toward neutral, reflecting improving sentiment. The liquidity mix shifted, too. Gold — historically more liquid than silver and bitcoin — ceded market breadth to the first cryptocurrency. Silver dropped the most, which, JPMorgan analysts said, may have further magnified the asset’s price swings. Network activity cools At the same time, CryptoQuant analyst Carmelo Aleman flagged a decline in on-chain activity. The number of active bitcoin addresses fell by 30% — from 938,609 to 655,908 — the lowest since August 2025. Bitcoin Is Cooling Internally: Active Addresses Have Fallen by More Than 30%“To validate a convincing structural recovery, it will not be enough to see price move higher; network activity will also need to return.” – By @oro_crypto pic.twitter.com/eBMkEcCut5— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) March 27, 2026 The seven-day moving average of active addresses fell from 777,283 to 612,972 (-21.14%), and the 30-day from 743,714 to 636,314 (-14.44%). A bear market exacerbates this metric, the expert noted. Falling prices and fewer active addresses suggest the market is losing not only value but real participants. “This is important because a price increase by itself does not validate a structural recovery. As long as on-chain activity remains weak, any upswing will rest on a more fragile foundation than during periods of genuine expansion,” Aleman emphasized.

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."

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.

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.
