CoreWeave’s financing highlights Wall Street’s shift away from volatile, hardware-backed crypto lending toward cash-flow-driven AI infrastructure, according to TheEnergyMag. CoreWeave’s recent $8.5 billion AI-backed loan highlights a major transition in how Wall Street finances digital infrastructure, marking a shift from “MinerFi” to “ComputeFi,” according to TheEnergyMag. In its latest Miner Weekly newsletter, TheEnergyMag examined CoreWeave’s multibillion-dollar raise from a group of banks and investors, backed by Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Platforms. As Bloomberg reported, the financing underscores how companies are finding new ways to fund data center construction and expand GPU capacity. Although CoreWeave has pivoted away from the digital asset sector toward AI-focused data center compute, the move offers a broader lesson on the shortcomings of Bitcoin (BTC) mining finance.

Bitcoin whales sold $270 million in BTC on Sunday, but the steady absorption of supply by traders should help bulls maintain their hold on the market momentum. Data shows Bitcoin (BTC) investors who had held their positions for over seven years took profit last week by selling $271 million in BTC. A similar wave of “OG whale” selling in January coincided with a more fragile market that lacked buyer demand, triggering a sharp dip in the BTC price. Current onchain data reflects a much stronger market where BTC supply absorption and reduced selling may allow Bitcoin to hold its place in the $70,000-$72,000 range. Data from Capriole Investments shows that the Bitcoin “OG whale spent value” moved roughly $271 million on Sunday. That marks the largest surge in activity for this cohort since Jan. 10, when a $280 million outflow spike preceded a 13% correction to $78,700 from $90,000 within two weeks. Read more

Transactions on the Open Network layer-1 blockchain protocol previously took about 10 seconds to settle before the Catchain 2.0 consensus upgrade. The Open Network (TON), an independent layer-1 blockchain that has integrations with the Telegram messaging application, said it has slashed block times to 400 milliseconds with the release of its Catchain 2.0 consensus upgrade. Payment transactions now settle in about 1 second, while trades settle in “real time,” and decentralized applications will now operate at speeds comparable to traditional apps, according to TON’s announcement on Thursday. Faster block times produce more validator rewards, as the number of blocks added to the chain increases. TON’s annual inflation is projected to increase six-fold, to 3.6% from about 0.6% following the update, TON said. Inflation represents the continuing minting and burning of Toncoin within its ecosystem. Read more
