Elon Musk's SpaceX has turned one of the world's largest artificial intelligence clusters into a commercial compute product, creating a new challenge for Bitcoin miners racing to recast themselves as Al infrastructure companies.

Anthropic said it reached a deal to use the full computing power of SpaceX's Colossus 1 facility in Memphis, Tennessee, giving the Claude maker more than 220,000 Nvidia processors and 300 megawatts of new capacity within a month.

The added capacity helped Anthropic double Claude Code rate limits for paid plans, remove peak-hour usage caps for Pro and Max accounts, and sharply increase developer request volume for its Claude Opus models.

The agreement gives SpaceX a marquee Al customer as it tries to show investors that its infrastructure ambitions extend beyond rockets and satellites.

It also lands directly in the market Bitcoin miners have been trying to enter: the race to secure power for data centers for Al firms that need electricity faster than the grid can deliver it.

Moody took the Consensus Miami 2026 stage on Thursday to tell the crypto industry how she sees the relationship between Washington and digital assets. Summary Senator Ashley Moody appeared at Consensus Miami 2026 on Day 3 alongside Digital Chamber CEO Cody Carbone. The session addressed Washington's relationship with crypto as the CLARITY Act approaches a Senate committee vote. Moody joins a historically large cohort of federal policymakers appearing at Consensus 2026 for the first time. Senator Ashley Moody took the Consensus Miami 2026 stage on Thursday alongside Digital Chamber CEO Cody Carbone to discuss how Washington should engage with the digital asset industry. It is her first Consensus appearance, part of a broader push by federal officials to be seen at the industry's biggest annual event. The session comes at a pivotal moment for crypto legislation. The CLARITY Act is racing toward a potential Senate Banking Committee markup before the May 21 Memorial Day recess, with Senators Cynthia Lummis and Bernie Moreno warning that failure pushes the next window to 2030.
As cryptonews reported, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse called the past week a "big positive shift" in Senate momentum from the same stage on Day 1. You might also like:

Coinbase loses nearly $400 million in Q1 as CEO seeks to reduce dependence on spot crypto trading The U.S.-based crypto exchange reported total first-quarter revenue of $1.41 billion, down 31% when compared to the same period in 2025.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said the company is transforming from a "spot-focused crypto platform to a place" where users can trade many asset classes.

Coinbase posted a net loss of $394.1 million in the first quarter as cryptocurrency prices fell dramatically during the period, causing the exchange to register significant losses on the digital assets it held on its balance sheet, the company said Thursday in its latest earnings report.

The company lost $482 million on the crypto that was held for investment purposes.

Bitcoin slips to $79,000, DOGE leads majors losses as negative funding rates set 10-year record


The longer the funding rates stay red, the louder the short squeeze gets.

Bitcoin traded at $79,614 in Asian hours Friday, down 1.6% over 24 hours but still up 3.3% on the week, after pulling back from a Wednesday high of $81,500 that was the highest print since late January.

Ether dropped 2% to $2,278, dogecoin slid 3.8% to $0.1063, XRP fell 1.7% to $1.38, and BNB shed 0.7% to $638. Solana and TRON held in green territory at $88.14 and $0.3474 respectively. Dogecoin is the only major coin in the red on the seven-day tape.

The pullback came as U.S. forces fired on Iranian targets after attacks on American naval destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, per reports.

President Donald Trump described the strike as a "love tap" in an ABC News interview, said the ceasefire with Iran remains "in effect," and threatened to hit harder if Tehran does not sign a deal soon. Brent crude climbed 1.2% to around $101 a barrel on the escalation, though oil is still down more than 6% on the week as the broader US-Iran de-escalation narrative continues to hold.

Equities took a similar pause. The MSCI All Country World Index slipped 0.3% and Asian shares fell 1.2% from a record close, though the region is still on track for a fifth straight week of gains. Wall Street futures were 0.2% higher in early trading, suggesting the pullback is profit-taking rather than a structural reversal.

Bitcoin futures funding rates have now stayed negative for 67 consecutive days, the longest stretch in 10 years per K33 Research. Funding rates are periodic payments between traders holding long and short futures positions, with negative funding meaning shorts are paying longs to keep their positions open.

$110K Spring Airdrop Rain—18 Days Straight!

A U.S. government-controlled wallet has deposited approximately $33,000 worth of seized cryptocurrencies into Coinbase Prime, according to blockchain analytics firm Onchain Lens. The transaction, which occurred about six hours ago, involved three separate tokens: 2,466 Uniswap ($UNI) valued at $8,410, 152,925 Cronos ($CRO) worth $10,689, and 1,589 Chainlink ($LINK) valued at $15,703.The funds were originally confiscated from Brian Krewson, a convicted criminal currently serving a prison sentence for aiding money laundering in connection with drug trafficking offenses. The seizure and subsequent deposit into a government wallet mark a routine step in the U.S. government’s process of managing and liquidating forfeited digital assets. The transfer to Coinbase Prime, a platform commonly used by institutional clients, suggests the government may be preparing to auction or otherwise convert these holdings into fiat currency.The U.S. government has increasingly become a significant holder of cryptocurrency through seizures related to criminal investigations. Agencies such as the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the IRS regularly confiscate digital assets from illicit activities, including drug trafficking, ransomware attacks, and fraud schemes. These assets are then stored in government-controlled wallets before being auctioned off in bulk sales or transferred to exchanges for liquidation. The process is designed to maximize value for the government while ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks.While the amount in this particular deposit is relatively small, the movement of seized assets by government entities can sometimes create short-term market pressure, particularly if large volumes are liquidated at once. However, in this case, the total value of approximately $33,000 is unlikely to have a significant impact on the p
