Research firm Bernstein released a report stating that as the demand for AI data centers explodes, Bitcoin mining companies are becoming important participants in large-scale computing infrastructure, with a positive outlook on the future performance of miners such as IREN, Riot Platforms, CleanSpark, and Core Scientific.The report points out that major cloud providers, AI cloud service providers, and chip companies have announced over $90 billion in AI infrastructure collaborations, involving approximately 3.7 GW of power capacity. Bernstein states that "Follow the Gigawatts" is becoming the core of competition in AI infrastructure, and the large-scale power resources controlled by mining companies hold strategic value.Analysts have given IREN, Riot, CleanSpark, and Core Scientific an "outperform" rating, with a target price of $100 for IREN, indicating about a 98% upside potential from the current stock price; CleanSpark has a target price of $24, corresponding to about a 78% upside potential.The report states that Bitcoin mining companies currently control over 27 GW of planned power capacity, and in some areas of the United States, the new 1 GW power connection cycle may take up to 50 months, making existing mining sites important locations for the expansion of AI data centers.Bernstein also mentioned several AI collaboration cases, including IREN planning a 5 GW AI computing park based on NVIDIA's AI Factory architecture, and Riot reaching a collaboration with AMD for an AI data center of up to 200 MW.However, analysts also warned that the industry still faces challenges such as environmental reviews, grid capacity, and regulatory approvals. Additionally, if mining companies overly shift their computing resources towards AI, they may miss out on future gains during the Bitcoin bull market cycle.

According to Jin Shi's report, DoubleLine Capital CEO Gundlach stated that investors will not see interest rate cuts at the next Federal Reserve policy meeting. He pointed out that although the market had anticipated two rate cuts this year, the inflation market is simply not cooperating. Gundlach mentioned that when the two-year U.S. Treasury yield is nearly 50 basis points higher than the federal funds rate, it is impossible to implement rate cuts. He also stated that Kevin Walsh, who has just been confirmed as the Federal Reserve Chairman, is taking office during a "difficult time" and predicted that the first digit of the next CPI index will be in the "4 range."

The encrypted messaging app Signal stated that if Canada's Bill C-22 is officially passed and requires platforms to establish "lawful access" monitoring capabilities, the company may choose to exit the Canadian market rather than weaken end-to-end encryption. Signal's Vice President of Strategy and Global Affairs, Udbhav Tiwari, indicated that the bill could force communication services to create technical backdoors, thereby undermining encryption security and making private communications more susceptible to exploitation by hackers and foreign attackers.Bill C-22 was introduced in March 2026 as part of a new round of regulatory measures in Canada, requiring electronic service providers to establish law enforcement monitoring capabilities and retain certain user metadata for up to a year to assist in investigations of crimes such as terrorism and child exploitation. Critics argue that the bill is similar to the EU's previously controversial "chat monitoring" proposal, which could threaten end-to-end encryption and user privacy. Canadian Conservative MP Jacob Mantle stated that nearly all Canadian MPs use Signal precisely because of its privacy and security features, yet the bill could grant the government the ability to read private messages.Tiwari stated, "Signal would rather exit Canada than violate the privacy commitments made to users." In addition to Signal, the VPN provider Windscribe also indicated that if the bill passes in its current form, the company may follow Signal in withdrawing from the Canadian market. Windscribe claimed that the bill could force VPN services to log data that could identify users, violating its core privacy principles.

According to Axios, the White House is formulating guidelines that allow federal agencies to bypass the previous supply chain risk designation for Anthropic and introduce its latest model, Mythos. Sources say that the White House's move aims to gracefully bring Anthropic back. Earlier this month, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Bessent met with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei.Previously, the Pentagon had listed Anthropic as a supply chain risk due to Anthropic's refusal to sign an agreement allowing the Pentagon to use its model Claude for all lawful purposes, insisting on prohibiting its use for large-scale domestic surveillance or the development of fully autonomous weapons. Currently, multiple federal agencies are vying for access to Mythos, which demonstrates powerful capabilities for automated cyber attacks while also serving as a defensive tool. The White House stated that any policy announcement will come directly from the president, and anything else is speculation.

Polymarket stated on platform X, "Last month, we released enhanced market integrity rules to combat insider trading. When we discover users trading on government confidential information, we refer the matter to the Department of Justice and cooperate with their investigation. Polymarket does not tolerate insider trading, and today's arrests prove that this system is effective."The arrest mentioned by Polymarket refers to the U.S. federal authorities arresting a special forces soldier this Thursday who was involved in the arrest of Venezuelan President Maduro. This soldier is suspected of profiting over $400,000 by betting on Maduro's ouster.

Tether announced that it has supported the U.S. government's freeze of over $344 million USDT, involving two wallet addresses. This freezing action was carried out in collaboration with the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and U.S. law enforcement agencies, aimed at preventing further movement of funds.The freeze was based on information provided by multiple U.S. law enforcement agencies, linking these addresses to illegal activities. Tether stated that when wallet addresses are associated with sanctions evasion, criminal networks, or other illegal activities, the company will take freezing measures. This has now become Tether's routine response to legitimate requests from U.S. and global law enforcement agencies.Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated, "USDT is by no means a safe haven for illegal activities. We take immediate action when there are credible links to sanctioned entities or criminal networks. Recent events have shown what can happen when platforms fail to act swiftly, law enforcement fails, users are exposed, and trust is lost. Our approach is different; we combine blockchain transparency, real-time monitoring, and direct coordination with law enforcement agencies to prevent the flow of funds. This is a responsibility we take very seriously as one of the largest issuers in the market."This action is part of Tether's cooperation with U.S. law enforcement agencies. The U.S. Department of Justice had previously confirmed Tether's support in law enforcement actions, successfully seizing nearly $61 million and approximately $225 million in "pork scam" funds.
