In recent months, the velocity of stablecoins—the frequency of ownership changes—has surged. This was highlighted by Geoffrey Kendrick, head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered, as reported by The Block. "[The metric] has increased, contradicting our assumption of its stability," he noted. The turnover has doubled over the past two years, with tokens now changing hands about six times a month on average. The primary driver of this shift has been Circle's USDC. The bank's forecast for stablecoin supply growth to $2 trillion by 2028 was partly based on their usage frequency. An increase in this metric could reduce the need for issuance, even if transaction volumes continue to rise. New Use Cases Kendrick linked the changes to the evolution of use cases. Stablecoins have moved beyond crypto trading and savings. Currently, fiat-pegged tokens are increasingly becoming an alternative to traditional financial infrastructure and are used for AI-based payments. The expert described this distinction as fundamental. Standard Chartered believes that "unstable velocity" reflects new, additional demand rather than a general shift in how all stablecoins are used. Savings in emerging markets—a scenario with low velocity where Tether's USDT dominates—have not shown similar dynamics. Forecast Remains Unchanged Despite the shift, the bank maintains its overall thesis: analysts expect stablecoin supply to reach $2 trillion by 2028. At the time of writing, the figure stands at $315.5 billion. Source: DefiLlama. The growth in capitalization is expected to create additional demand for U.S. Treasury bills amounting to about $1 trillion, according to Standard Chartered. These expectations are supported by other optimistic statements from bank representatives. Previously, they claimed that stablecoins would transform global liquidity, trigger a $500 billion outflow of bank deposits, and become the main catalyst for cryptocurrency adoption. However, a new factor has emerged. Velocity may prove to be as important as the supply volume. "If the metric remains constant, transaction growth will create demand for more stablecoins. If it increases, this will not happen, all else being equal," Kendrick concluded. Back in March, former hedge fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller described stablecoins as the future of global payments.

The brain–computer interface (BCI) industry is in the midst of an investment boom, presenting itself as science fiction made real. Companies are racing to connect the human brain to the digital realm, promising not only help for paralysed patients but cognitive superpowers for healthy people. Having reviewed research-team data, corporate reports and the state of play, ForkLog examines where the technology stands—and who is truly carving up the market. Beyond Musk: who is carving up the market Despite the impression created by our information bubble that every headline concerns Neuralink, the market has long been split among invasive, minimally invasive and non-invasive approaches—where real breakthroughs are being made by many independent teams. Neuralink’s chief rival is often said to be Synchron, whose Stentrode technology avoids open-skull surgery. The device is fed in via the jugular vein and positioned inside a blood vessel near the brain’s motor cortex—an approach that has helped the firm to the front of the regulatory queue. Patients in the US and Australia already control Apple devices with their thoughts, although transmitting signals through a vessel wall trims bandwidth somewhat. The industry’s veteran and bedrock is Blackrock Neurotech. Its wired Utah Array system has underpinned leading academic research since 2004 and is rightly deemed the gold standard. Dozens of patients have lived with these implants for years, and the manufacturer is preparing a commercial launch of an updated platform. Source: Blackrock Neurotech. Precision Neuroscience—founded by alumni of Elon Musk’s company—offers an intriguing alternative. It has developed an ultrathin electrode array that is laid on the brain’s surface through a tiny incision, entirely avoiding penetration of neural tissue. Meanwhile, Tsinghua University in China is deploying a minimally invasive implant, NEO, which is mounted beneath the skull and has already enabled a fully paralysed patient to control a mechanical exoskeleton. Source: South China Morning Post. Foundational work also comes from BrainGate, which has spent decades testing algorithms for thought-driven device control. For this, its founder, John Donoghue, was awarded the prestigious Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering. Competition is intensifying: biotech firm Science Corporation raised $230m to develop its PRIMA implant. Designed to treat macular degeneration, it restores visual function by stimulating retinal neurons. Engineering advances are emerging worldwide. The Russian project Motorica builds high-tech limb prostheses with neural control. Source: motorica.org. At the same time, specialists at HSE University’s Centre for Bioelectric Interfaces are studying non-invasive control methods and neural decoding of motor commands. And the door to a new era is opening even for the general public: in November 2025 Phantom Neuro announced a patient registry to connect upper-limb amputees with clinical trials of new neurointerfaces. Gateway to the Matrix—or hard physics: the hardware hurdles In startup decks, the future looks like the movies. In practice, Silicon Valley’s most grandiose claims meet physical and biological limits. The toughest obstacle is rejection. The brain is a hostile environment for electronics. Tissue reacts to foreign microelectrodes by forming glial scars, so the quality of neural signal transmission inevitably degrades. This harsh reality was encountered by the first Neuralink patient: some of the chip’s threads failed a few weeks after implantation. Then comes the problem of bandwidth and power. Today’s systems can transmit hundreds of bits per second—enough to move a cursor or play a game of chess, but “telepathy” would demand millions of channels. Attempts to multiply computing power immediately exacerbate battery wear and heat. Raising the temperature around the chip’s operating zone by even one degree can cause irreversible tissue damage—an engineering cul-de-sac yet to be escaped. Lofty claims from the Valley often mask stern hardware constraints. The chief technological barrier is signal fidelity. Non-invasive methods (various EEG caps) run into the skull’s severe distortion of signals. At a specialist conference at HSE University, experts noted serious hurdles to using modern “dry” electrodes outside clinical labs. Sensor sensitivity depends heavily on humidity, skull anatomy and how tightly equipment is fixed. Traditional gel electrodes readily ensure reliable contact and high accuracy, but wearing gel kit every day is highly uncomfortable. The direction of travel: from medicine to neurodata Developers define BCI’s primary mission as restoring mobility, speech and vision for people with disabilities. This framing helps technology through regulatory procedures, including approval by the FDA. As the field matures, however, medicine is increasingly a springboard for commercial scale: business is shifting towards cognitive augmentation and tools for healthy users. BCIs create a fundamentally new layer of data. If smartphones can analyse your digital habits, a BCI could in principle capture unconscious emotional responses directly. Tech giants see a marketing instrument that can gauge ad effectiveness at the neural level—and turn thoughts into the fastest control interface. Beyond Big Tech, neuroresearch has for decades been bankrolled by governments and defence. America’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency invests in nonverbal battlefield communication, drone control without the latency of human motor output and algorithms to blunt stress and pain responses. In the long run, industry insiders talk of transhumanism and hybrid consciousness. Leaders say merging with machines is a necessary condition to compete with artificial intelligence as information-exchange speeds climb. Part of that future is arriving now: Stanford University scientists have for the first time reliably decoded “inner speech”, mapping cortical electrical signals to basic spoken phonemes and text—potentially minimising the need to move lips or type. Hybrid consciousness: the blurring of personhood It is wrong to think of BCI installation as a linear data readout. Using such systems requires mutual co-adaptation. Machine-learning algorithms continually adjust to the user, and the human nervous system, according to recent work in Nature Machine Intelligence, literally relearns to generate impulses in ways that make classification easier for the software. The boundary between biological and synthetic gradually fades, producing a dilution of agency. Because a third-party decoder stands between human intention and executed action—and “fills in” the signal—users quickly stop seeing where their own will ends and neural-network assistance begins. A deep illusion of embodiment arises, akin to the rubber hand illusion, but at a fundamental level. The tool ceases to feel external, and moving a cursor by thought can tire a person as much as a full workout at the gym. New contours of privacy Direct symbiosis exposes privacy risks. Algorithms can already, with mixed success, decode inner dialogues and imagery—creating a precedent for the absence of privacy even inside one’s own head. Brain waves become detailed fingerprints of individual emotions and mental-health traits. Preventing leaks and manipulation is pushing the world towards new rules for neural data. In the United States, the MIND Act seeks to protect citizens’ digital thought, and the Federal Trade Commission is developing rules to prohibit the unauthorised commercialisation of human thoughts. That anxiety is already bleeding into art: new theatre productions, such as The Moon is Always Full, directly raise philosophical questions about the safety of clinical trials and whether digital copies of minds could leak to AI programmers. From science fiction to a monopoly on thought The neurointerface industry has left the pages of science fiction and entered the pragmatic grind of engineering. For now, these systems remain prototypes of complex controllers, and their chief task today is to deliver indisputable medical benefit. But the corporate race is not about wheelchairs. Multinationals are building the platform for the next iteration of the internet, where smartphones and keyboards become relics. The central question of that coming paradigm is who will hold full rights to the information generated directly by your neurons.

The tool employs a combination of neural networks from leading labs. “One model guides the generation phase, planning the task, iterating through information retrieval, and creating an initial draft. The other is responsible for verification and refinement, acting as an expert reviewer,” Microsoft stated. Meanwhile, LLM can switch their roles. The company emphasized that all modern AI research tools operate similarly, with no one verifying their work. Critique aims to address issues of hallucinations, citation errors, and the provision of false or inaccurate statements. In the DRACO test, which covers 100 complex research tasks across 10 domains, Critique scored 57.4 points, while Claude Opus 4.6 scored 42.7. Source: Microsoft. The second feature, Council, employs a different approach to problem-solving. It runs GPT and Claude in parallel and presents their full reports side by side. Then, a third model-judge reads both responses and writes a summary, explaining where the AI models agree and where their arguments diverge. In Critique, LLMs collaborate with each other, whereas in Council, they compete. Critique is the standard mode in Researcher, while Council must be selected from the menu. Both features are available to users registered in the Microsoft Frontier program. Back in March, the corporation introduced the AI agent Cowork for performing complex tasks in Microsoft 365. It is capable of interacting with ecosystem applications like Outlook, Teams, Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint.

The second‑largest cryptocurrency is showing stronger momentum than the flagship, MN Trading founder Michaël van de Poppe observed. The markets are waking up, and $ETH is outperforming #Bitcoin.That's a good sign.However, for clear momentum, just break through 0.03250 $BTC and I'd be very happy as then I think we'll start to see strong continuation taking place. pic.twitter.com/BwYjp5rUTB— Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) March 30, 2026 He said the set‑up points to a revival in digital assets. However, to cement momentum, Ethereum must break above 0.03250 in the BTC pair. A break of that level, he added, could usher in a sustained upswing. At the time of writing, the leading altcoin trades around $2,000. Over the past 24 hours its price is down 1.9%, and 6.4% over the week. Hourly chart of ETH/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView.

Van de Poppe described bitcoin’s overall trend as weak. He allowed that in the coming weeks the coin could take out the lows. At the same time, he said the current market phase can be viewed as the final stage of the bear trend. Slight bounce earlier today, but clearly, direction is downwards instead of upwards.I wouldn't be surprised if we take out the lows in the coming weeks on #Bitcoin. Ideal moment to accumulate larger positions on your holdings as it might be the final stage of the bear. pic.twitter.com/0gDEJMQSut— Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) March 30, 2026 Bitcoin could find a floor at $54,000 The realized price, which reflects the average acquisition cost of coins on‑chain, points to a bottom for the current market phase. The DeFi Report founder Michael Nadeau noted that in bear phases bitcoin has traditionally traded below this level. BTC historically trades *below* its Realized Price (a proxy for the cost basis of onchain coins) during bear markets. Furthermore, the Realized Price typically *declines* as time does its thing in a bear market (as older coins purchased at a higher price are sold at lower… pic.twitter.com/rlFGmYONAg— Michael Nadeau | The DeFi Report (@JustDeauIt) March 30, 2026 The realized price itself declines over time as earlier purchases are sold at lower prices. This makes the metric useful for estimating potential downside levels within the current cycle. According to CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr., the indicator is now at $54,000. Hitting that mark would signal extreme oversold conditions that in past cycles often preceded a reversal. Sales pressure is rising. If Bitcoin drops to $54K Realized Price — it goes abnormal. pic.twitter.com/xjOiEgZ9AA— Axel 💎🙌 Adler Jr (@AxelAdlerJr) March 31, 2026 Macro headwinds intensify Amid record pressure on traditional markets linked to the conflict in the Middle East, bitcoin and other digital assets are showing resilience. The S&P 500 has posted its longest streak of daily declines since 2022, losing more than 7% over the past ten sessions. Over the same period, Nasdaq 100 fell by 5%. Total crypto market capitalisation ($2.32 trillion) has been largely unchanged. Since the start of US and Israeli strikes on Iran, digital gold has traded in a $65,000–$73,000 range, sold on each escalation but not breaking structurally lower. Equities, by contrast, are forming a persistent downtrend. However, Adler Jr. warned that bitcoin’s relative resilience does not mean it has fully decoupled from risk assets. Although the short‑term link between the coin and the S&P 500 has weakened, its performance relative to the index continues to deteriorate. Bitcoin is not decoupling from equities. It's just getting weaker.New ☕️ Adler AM 👇https://t.co/ME15XFsg8j pic.twitter.com/XIjiU25oof— Axel 💎🙌 Adler Jr (@AxelAdlerJr) March 31, 2026 “The formal correlation between bitcoin and the S&P has now become a less reliable guide, but relative performance still indicates that the market views bitcoin as a higher‑risk asset with greater drawdown amplitude than the S&P 500,” he said. The analyst believes it is too early to call a trend change until bitcoin’s ratio to the index stabilises and begins to recover. That means the coin’s current resilience may be temporary. Without an improvement in relative performance, a durable reversal higher is unlikely. On March 30, digital gold fell to $65,112, setting a new low since late February.
