IREN's AI Revenue Exceeds Mining Income for the First Time

For the quarter ending June 30, 2026, IREN's revenue from AI cloud services, at $70.5 million, surpassed its Bitcoin mining revenue of $66.7 million for the first time. This shift contributed to a net loss of $684 million, partly due to $450.4 million in asset impairments from repurposing mining equipment for AI. Total quarterly revenue fell 5% to $137.2 million. While AI revenue doubled, Bitcoin mining income fell by approximately 40%. The company's adjusted EBITDA also dropped 68% to $19.2 million. Other miners showed similar diversification trends. TeraWulf reported that 71% of its $44.8 million Q2 revenue came from High-Performance Computing (HPC) leasing, surpassing its $12.8 million from digital assets. Despite this, it posted a negative adjusted EBITDA and a significant net loss. Cipher Mining's revenue remained entirely from Bitcoin mining at $24.8 million, while Riot Platforms generated $174.2 million, with data centers contributing 13% of that total. The trend highlights a strategic pivot by public Bitcoin miners towards AI infrastructure, driven by rising capital expenditures and demand for energy-secure sites for high-power computing.

California Senate Approves Bill to Ban Issuance of Memecoins by Public Officials

The California Senate has unanimously approved a bill to restrict public officials from issuing or promoting memecoins, citing concerns over conflicts of interest and "pay-to-play" arrangements. The bill, Assembly Bill 2409, passed the Senate 40-0 and the Assembly 78-0, and now awaits the governor's signature. It would prohibit digital asset service providers from offering Californians memecoins issued on or after January 1, 2027, if they are offered by or in coordination with federal, state, or local public officials. The bill defines memecoins as digital assets whose value is primarily driven by public interest, speculation, or community engagement. This legislative action follows a report highlighting significant investor losses, including an estimated $3.2 billion in cumulative losses for holders of the Trump-related memecoin $TRUMP. The token, the fifth-largest memecoin, has seen recent volatility. Furthermore, former President Trump's family crypto ventures have reportedly complicated the passage of broader U.S. crypto market structure legislation, with a proposed bipartisan ethics amendment potentially allowing him to defer capital gains taxes.

California Senate passes bill to ban memecoin issuance by public officials

California lawmakers have passed a bill, AB 2409, to ban public officials from issuing or partnering on memecoins, citing concerns over conflicts of interest and "pay-to-play" arrangements. The bill, which passed unanimously in both the Senate and Assembly, awaits the governor's signature. If enacted, it would prohibit digital asset service providers from offering such memecoins to California residents starting January 1, 2027. The legislation defines memecoins as digital assets whose value comes primarily from public interest or speculation. The report highlights a recent analysis showing significant paper losses for investors in the Trump-themed TRUMP memecoin. It also notes that crypto ventures linked to the Trump family are complicating the passage of broader federal crypto market structure legislation.

Analysts Identify Risk of Tokenized Deposits for Credit Availability

Analysts from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas warn that the widespread adoption of tokenized deposits by US banks could negatively impact credit availability. While banks see them as an alternative to stablecoins, their key feature—instant transferability—could make deposits more sensitive to interest rates and prone to outflows. This shift could undermine banks' traditional ability to use stable, long-term deposits to fund long-term loans. If deposits become more volatile, banks may need to hold more high-quality liquid assets and rely more on term debt, potentially increasing borrowing costs for consumers and businesses. The report estimates significant impacts: a 10% reduction in deposit duration could cut maturity transformation capacity by about $580 billion, and a 10% increase in rate sensitivity could reduce banks' willingness to take on interest rate risk by roughly $700 billion. Drawing parallels with Brazil's instant payment system Pix, the analysis suggests such innovations lead banks to increase liquid asset holdings and reduce credit intermediation. While tokenized deposits are still in early development, their growth alongside stablecoins and tokenized assets could fundamentally reshape the banking system and present new challenges for monetary policy and financial stability.

Bitcoin Added $14,264 in a Week; According to Galaxy, a Signal the Next Bottom is Near

Bitcoin concluded the week ending August 23rd with a gain of $14,264, or 22.7%, closing at $77,387. This marked its largest weekly dollar gain on record, though percentage gains have been larger when prices were lower. The subsequent rally pushed prices to a three-month high above $81,000 before a slight pullback. The catalyst for the surge was identified as the U.S. Treasury's announcement to at least double its long-term bond buyback operations to support liquidity. Galaxy Digital's Head of Research, Alex Thorn, also noted a significant "buying shift" in BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) by retail investors, a signal not seen in two years. Galaxy Research highlighted a key technical level to watch: the 50-week moving average around $82,470. Historical data shows that in 11 of the past 13 bear markets since 2011, a weekly close above this average has coincided with the cycle bottom being in. Failure to achieve this close could mean the rally is merely a corrective bounce within a longer downtrend rather than the start of a new bullish trend. Matt Cole, CEO of Strive, offered an optimistic view, suggesting the next Bitcoin cycle could be the strongest ever, citing its performance relative to the dollar and gold as evidence of changing dynamics. However, as the price base grows, record dollar gains become easier to achieve, making sustainability the key question.
