forklog.media Week’s wrap: Bitcoin slips below $67,000 and Ethereum’s quantum defence

Bitcoin slipped below $67,000, the miner-activity gauge hit a historic low, Ethereum’s quantum defence is slated for 2029, and other highlights of the week. A skittish market The past seven days were, again, mixed for digital assets, with the industry reacting sharply to headlines from the Middle East. Monday opened with bitcoin jumping above $70,000 after US President Donald Trump said a strike on Iran had been paused. After a brief pullback, the coin resumed its ascent — by Wednesday the price had surpassed $72,000. Hourly BTC/USDT chart on Binance. Source: TradingView. That proved a local peak. On Thursday, March 26, bitcoin turned lower, sliding from $72,000 to $68,000 in a day. The sell-off extended on Friday as the asset plunged to $65,000. Prices reacted to reports of an escalation in the Middle East and outflows from ETFs. Spot bitcoin funds snapped a four-week run of inflows. From March 23–27 the products lost $296m.

Ether fell 4%, XRP 5% and Solana 5.8%. HYPE clung to tenth by market value, adding 2% on the week. Total crypto capitalisation stands at $2.37trn, with BTC dominance at 56.1% and ETH at 10.1%. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index remains in “extreme fear” at 9. Crypto Fear and Greed Index. Source: Alternative. Miner inactivity The Miner Position Index (MPI) fell to -1.04 — the third-lowest reading on record. CryptoQuant analyst Ignacio Moreno de Vicente called it a bullish signal. Source: X. Such levels indicate miners are sending fewer coins to exchanges than usual relative to the yearly average, structurally reducing sell pressure. “MPI reflects the relative behavior of sellers, but does not show who absorbs the supply. Without a clear expansion of demand (spot flows, ETF inflows or positioning in derivatives), a low MPI alone cannot deliver a sustained upward move,” de Vicente added. The signal strengthens when the gauge turns up from lows, pointing to a return of activity as conditions improve. Meanwhile, CoinShares analysts recorded a capitulation by 20% of bitcoin miners. They said the fourth quarter of 2025 was the toughest for miners after the latest halving. The weighted-average cost per coin among public firms reached $79,995. Source: CoinShares. At risk are operators with outdated hardware and high power costs. Mid-generation rigs run below breakeven at the current hashprice, especially if electricity is $0.05/kWh or higher. To stay profitable, they need cheaper tariffs. Sideways bitcoin prices would worsen matters. Head of research James Butterfill said a prolonged slump would force inefficient capacity offline, slowing hashrate growth and eventually rebalancing returns. Large miners also kept selling reserves. This week MARA Holdings said it sold 15,133 BTC for roughly $1.1bn. The proceeds will go towards repurchasing the company’s own bonds.

In Russia, lawmakers proposed curbing the use of AI in education. Brad Garlinghouse called stablecoins crypto’s “ChatGPT moment”. Ethereum’s quantum defence The non-profit Ethereum Foundation unveiled a roadmap to protect the blockchain from quantum computers, envisaging four hard forks. Key updates include: Fork I will give validators a public key that can be activated if a quantum computer suddenly emerges. Fork J will cut gas costs for verifying secure signatures. Fork L will introduce state compression using zero-knowledge proofs to pack state and signature data more compactly. Fork M will protect L2 networks against future quantum threats. Source: Ethereum Foundation. The transition will touch all three layers of the protocol — execution, storage and data availability. The foundation estimates “cryptographically significant” machines are at least eight, perhaps twelve, years away. Preparation, however, should begin now. “Quantum computing will ultimately break public-key cryptography, which provides ownership, authentication and consensus across all digital systems. Work must begin long before the threat becomes reality,” the Ethereum Foundation noted. The team aims to complete the network overhaul by 2029, though full migration will take several more years. Sora shuts down OpenAI announced it was shutting its Sora app for AI video generation, without giving reasons. Despite buzz after the launch of the updated Sora 2 model and its eponymous social network, the product failed to retain users. Downloads peaked in November 2025 at about 3.3m across the App Store and Google Play, but fell to 1.1m by February. The Sora social network was conceived as a TikTok analogue with an AI bent. Its signature cameos feature let users scan their faces, create realistic deepfakes of themselves and share them with others to generate collaborative clips. The Sora 2 model remains available, but on a paid basis via ChatGPT. OpenAI also scrapped its Instant Checkout feature, launched in September 2025. The tool enabled users to confirm orders, delivery and payment without leaving the chatbot interface. “The company underestimated how complex implementing transactions would be. On the one hand, it’s a little surprising, but on the other — it’s not easy for retailers either,” said Bob Hetu, an analyst at research and consulting firm Gartner. After reviewing project strategy, OpenAI plans to make ChatGPT a “super-app” — a single ecosystem for the Codex coding assistant, the Atlas browser and the chatbot, housed in one desktop application. Sora is likely to be folded in as well. Also on ForkLog: NYSE enlisted Securitize to launch trading in tokenised equities.

Telegram bond redemption Telegram founder Pavel Durov said the messenger had fully redeemed the convertible bonds issued five years ago. In March 2021 the company issued five-year dollar notes at 7% for a total of $1bn. The bonds gave investors the option to convert into Telegram equity at a 10% discount to the notional price in the event of an IPO. In May, on the same terms, the company additionally issued $750m of bonds. Durov said the monetisation strategy adopted five years ago allowed the messenger to turn profitable as early as 2024. “As a result, our new bond issue last year was oversubscribed,” he added. Media had reported that Telegram planned to list by end-2023. Closer to that date, reports appeared of the IPO being pushed back by another 18–24 months. Telegram had previously conducted debt placements; a quarter of one $270m tranche was bought back by Durov himself. What else to read?

forklog.media Study Highlights Risks of Overreliance on AI for Advice

AI sycophancy is not merely a stylistic issue or niche risk, but a widespread behaviour with serious consequences, according to a study by Stanford University.  The paper, titled "AI Flattery Reduces Prosocial Intentions and Encourages Dependency," states that chatbots are overly compliant when giving advice in interpersonal interactions, affirming user behaviour even if it is harmful or illegal. "By default, AI advice does not inform people that they are wrong, nor does it contain 'tough guidance.' I fear society will lose the skills to navigate complex social situations," said the lead author of the report, Myra Cheng.  The study was divided into two parts. The first measured the prevalence of sycophancy among AI, evaluating 11 major language models, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek. Chatbots were given about 2000 prompts based on existing databases of interpersonal advice, potentially harmful or illegal actions, as well as the popular Reddit community r/AmITheAsshole. Compared to human responses, AI more frequently affirmed the user's stance. In the case of general advice and prompts based on Reddit, models approved the user's position 49% more often on average. Even when responding to "harmful prompts," models endorsed problematic behaviour in 47% of cases. Source: Science.  In the second phase of the study, researchers examined people's reactions to AI sycophancy. They enlisted over 2400 volunteers to interact with both sycophantic and independent models. Some participants discussed pre-prepared personal dilemmas with chatbots, based on Reddit posts where users were unanimously deemed wrong. Others recalled their own conflicts. Afterwards, respondents answered questions about how the conversation went and how it affected their perception of the issue. Participants found sycophantic responses more trustworthy and indicated they were more likely to return to such AI with similar questions. When discussing their conflicts with the "sycophant," they also became more convinced of their own correctness. Additionally, respondents often noted that both types of AI demonstrated the same level of objectivity. Users could not distinguish when artificial intelligence was being overly accommodating. "We need stricter standards to prevent the spread of morally unsafe models," the study's authors concluded.  Cheng advises caution for those seeking advice from AI. In her view, neural networks should not be used as a substitute for humans in conflict situations. Earlier, analysts at ActivTrak concluded that instead of easing workloads, artificial intelligence currently only accelerates and complicates work processes.

forklog.media Brad Garlinghouse Sees Stablecoins as Crypto’s ‘ChatGPT Moment’

CEO Ripple Brad Garlinghouse stated that stablecoins could represent a 'ChatGPT moment' for the crypto industry, paving the way for widespread adoption of the technology in business. According to him, a key change will occur when companies can directly use 'stablecoins' in financial operations. This involves their use in settlements, liquidity management, and treasury functions. Already, he notes, top management of large companies is discussing the implementation of such tools at the board and finance department levels. He emphasized that business could be the main driver of broad digital asset adoption, with stablecoins serving as the 'entry point' into the crypto economy. Market Growth Strengthens the Trend Interest in the segment is supported by performance dynamics. The Ripple chief noted that the total volume of 'stablecoin' transactions exceeded $33 trillion over the past year. Meanwhile, Bloomberg Intelligence forecasts further growth — up to $56.6 trillion by 2030 if market expansion continues. The bulk of turnover still comes from major assets like USDC and USDT. Ripple's Infrastructure and Strategy The company is also actively developing its own stablecoin direction. Launched in 2024, RLUSD has already become one of the largest assets in its segment. Source: CoinGecko. To strengthen its position, Ripple is investing in infrastructure, including acquiring treasury systems provider GTreasury for $1 billion and prime broker Hidden Road for $1.25 billion. This strategy aims to create a comprehensive ecosystem for business — from payments to liquidity management. According to Garlinghouse, the company is 'on the rise' following a series of strategic acquisitions. "We will have a record quarter," he confidently predicted. Regulatory Factor Garlinghouse believes that the adoption of the CLARITY Act and its subsequent signing by Congress will accelerate the implementation of stablecoin payments and broader blockchain technology adoption. "Many are watching how regulation in the US will look and be implemented. We want to ensure that a situation like the one with Gary Gensler, where they try to use policy for political purposes rather than in the interests of the United States, does not repeat," emphasized the Ripple chief. The Financial Stability Board of the G20 has again warned of liquidity and dollarization risks associated with stablecoins.

forklog.media Canada Considers Ban on Political Cryptocurrency Donations

The Canadian Parliament is reviewing Bill C-25, which aims to prohibit political donations in cryptocurrencies. The restrictions apply to the entire political system of the country, encompassing registered parties, electoral associations, candidates, and third parties engaged in election advertising. The "Strong and Free Elections Act" cites concerns that the pseudo-anonymity of cryptocurrency poses transparency issues, and identifying participants is "fundamentally challenging." The provisions include a fine amounting to twice the value of the improper contribution. C-25 marks the second attempt to ban cryptocurrency donations. Its predecessor, Bill C-65, contained identical provisions, but the document was rejected following the dissolution of parliament in January 2025. The new version is currently at the first reading stage in the House of Commons. From Regulation to Prohibition In Canada, cryptocurrency donations have been permitted since 2019 under an administrative system that classifies them as non-monetary contributions, similar to property. However, no major federal party publicly accepted cryptocurrency during the 2021 and 2025 elections. Moreover, such contributions could not be considered for tax credit calculations, and contributors of more than $200 had to be publicly identified. Over time, Canada's Chief Electoral Officer, Stéphane Perrault, adopted a "prohibitive" stance. After the elections in June 2022, he recommended tightening the rules regarding cryptocurrency donations. In November 2024, Perrault proposed a complete ban on crypto contributions due to identification issues. In March 2026, the UK government enacted urgent legislative changes to restrict political donations in cryptocurrency.
