Riot Platforms has signed a long-term data center lease agreement tied to Anthropic, giving the Bitcoin miner another route into AI and high-performance computing as miners continue looking beyond block rewards. The company’s filing describes a 20-year lease agreement for 191 megawatts of critical IT capacity at its Rockdale campus. The deal carries total revenue potential of up to $16.1 billion if extension options are exercised. That is a huge number, but it needs careful framing. This does not mean Riot is abandoning Bitcoin mining. It means the company is using its power portfolio and data-center footprint to diversify into…

TLDR: Citi Bitcoin custody will launch later in 2026, giving institutional clients access to Bitcoin and traditional asset safekeeping through one framework. The Custody+ platform will connect custody with faster settlement, foreign exchange, and cash management services for Citi institutional clients. Citi says over 80% of custody event volume now processes in real time, while 96% of U.S. voluntary events finish within two hours. The SEC rescinded SAB 121 guidance in 2025, removing an accounting obstacle while retaining disclosure and risk assessment requirements. Citigroup plans to launch Citi Bitcoin custody later in 2026 through its new Custody+ platform. The service…

POL is sitting at the center of a genuinely strange puzzle in plain sight: a token that burns more than it issues, has zero unlocks left, zero vesting overhang, and has been trading openly for seven full years, yet still can’t get its fully diluted valuation above $700 million. Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal put those numbers out there this week, and instead of settling the debate about POL’s tokenomics, he ended up starting a much bigger one about whether crypto Twitter even wants to look at data anymore.The Numbers Sandeep Put On The TableSandeep laid out the core claim plainly:…

According to reports, the software firm known as Temporal, which developed the “durable execution” technology that allows AI agents and other long-running applications to recover from malfunctions without having to start again, is in the process of seeking approximately $500 million at a valuation of not less than $12 billion. If the funding round comes to an end at that level, Temporal’s valuation would have increased twofold within a period of six months. It would also indicate the gradual transfer of investor focus from only “frontier-model” developers to infrastructure providers ensuring the stable running of AI systems in operations. This…

Some crypto disputes fade quietly after the initial outrage cycle passes, but the ongoing case involving Gate.io user @jheioff has simmered for weeks before boiling over into a public, six-figure bounty for information following a $1.7 million theft claim against the exchange. This week, Jheioff put real money behind the frustration, offering $100,000 out of pocket for leads that could crack the case open, and pointedly noted that Gate.io has gone quiet on the matter entirely.How This Case Actually StartedTo understand why this bounty matters, it helps to go back to where the whole thing began. In early July, Jheioff,…

Six weeks ago, Robinhood Chain didn’t have a stablecoin ecosystem worth mentioning. Now it has three competing for dominance, and the combined total has blown past $650 million, a scale most Layer 2 networks take years to reach, not weeks. What’s happening here isn’t just a number going up, it’s a genuine three-way contest over which kind of dollar wins on a brokerage-built blockchain, and the answer says a lot about where retail crypto liquidity is actually heading.The $650 Million Number, And Where It Came FromAccording to on-chain analytics platform Token Terminal, Paxos’ USDG, Ethena’s USDe, and Arcus’ arcUSDG have…

Here’s a sentence that should stop anyone with a hardware wallet in their tracks: as of this week, typing “Ledger Wallet” into Google doesn’t reliably take you to Ledger. Instead, the top result in some searches is a paid, sponsored ad labeled “Ledger Official” that leads straight to a phishing page, hosted, ironically, in a way that borrows Google’s own credibility to make the scam look real. I’ve seen plenty of crypto phishing attempts dressed up to look convincing, but this one is different, because the platform doing the vouching isn’t some sketchy ad network. It’s Google itself.The alarm was…
