A Wave of Resistance Against AI Data Centers Sweeps the U.S., and the Most Vocal Are Not in Wealthy Areas

A nationwide movement against AI data center construction is gaining momentum across the US, from Vermont to California. New York's legislature recently passed a one-year moratorium, and Illinois has paused tax incentives for such projects. A new report, featuring exclusive data analysis from researcher Geoff Holtzman, challenges the narrative that opposition is led by wealthy "NIMBYs." Key findings reveal: 1) Resistance is highest in the poorest communities (19% protest rate) and lowest in the wealthiest (3.8%). 2) Proposed data centers facing community protests are over five times more likely to be canceled or paused (28.2% vs. 5.2%). 3) The higher cancellation rate in low-income areas is directly explained by their higher protest rates. A separate Heatmap poll shows 55% of Americans strongly oppose local data centers, with opposition strongest among Democrats, rural residents, and young adults (80% of 18-35 year olds). The analysis concludes that the anti-data center movement is largely driven by working-class communities and is proving effective at halting projects.

Mass Protests Fuel Iran’s Crypto Boom, Shattering $7.8 Billion Mark

Iran's on-chain cryptocurrency activity surged to $7.8 billion in 2025, largely driven by mass protests and economic instability. As the rial plummeted amid 40-50% inflation, citizens moved assets from banks to private crypto wallets for safekeeping. Bitcoin withdrawals spiked during brief internet windows amid government blackouts. Chainalysis data reveals that half of the crypto volume involved state-linked actors like the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, while civilians used crypto to preserve savings and bypass traditional finance. The surge reflects crypto's dual role: a shelter for households and a channel for institutional fund movements during unrest.

Analyzing Iran’s crypto volumes in the face of recent geopolitical tensions

Amidst Iran's escalating geopolitical tensions and civil unrest, cryptocurrency activity has surged to a record $7.78 billion in 2025, as citizens turn to Bitcoin to hedge against the collapse of the Iranian rial. According to Chainalysis, large withdrawals of BTC to personal wallets increased significantly during protests, highlighting Bitcoin's role as a censorship-resistant asset for wealth preservation. While Iranians use crypto to escape economic crisis, the regime also leverages it, with the IRGC accounting for over 50% of crypto received. This dual dynamic underscores crypto's critical function in restricted economies.

Iran’s Currency Crisis Triggers Protests, CEO Says Bitcoin Offers Exit

Amid Iran's severe currency crisis, the rial plummeted to a record 1.4 million per US dollar, losing over 40% of its purchasing power and triggering widespread protests in Tehran. Demonstrations led to shop closures in major commercial areas, while security forces used tear gas to disperse crowds. Public anger is directed at poor central bank policies, compounded by the resignation of the central bank governor. The banking sector faces extreme stress, with state-owned Bank Melli declaring bankruptcy and eight others at risk of dissolution due to international sanctions and internal mismanagement. Bitcoin is presented by figures like Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley as a potential shelter for Iranians to preserve savings, though strict regulations, unclear self-custody rules, and government crackdowns on unregistered mining limit safe access to cryptocurrencies. Despite cheap electricity for mining, regulatory pressures remain high. Bitcoin's role as a store of value gains attention amid economic collapse, but practical barriers persist.
