HIVE, Keel push deeper into AI data centers with capital raise, asset sale


Mining firms HIVE Digital (HIVE) and Keel Infrastructure (KEEL) are doubling down on artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, which continues the theme of a broader shift across the sector away from bitcoin mining exclusively.

HIVE raised $115 million through a zero interest convertible note offering, with proceeds earmarked for expanding its global data center footprint and GPU capacity, according to an announcement on Wednesday.

The company has increasingly leaned into Tier III data centers across Canada, Sweden and Paraguay, positioning them for both bitcoin mining, AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. The capital raise, paired with capped call protection to limit dilution, is aimed at accelerating that buildout.

Keel, meanwhile, is funding its transition by shrinking. The company completed the sale of its 70 MW Paraguay site for roughly $13 million, below initial expectations, citing deteriorating bitcoin mining economics. The move finalizes its exit from Latin America and follows its recent rebrand from Bitfarms to Keel Infrastructure.

“This is a clean exit from Latin America,” CEO Ben Gagnon said. “We are focused and committed to building the infrastructure backbone to support the AI economy in North America.”

Gagnon added that the proceeds effectively bring forward “two to three years” of expected cash flow, which will now be redeployed into Keel’s HPC and AI pipeline.

Shares of both companies have risen roughly 7%, following the announcements.

Bitcoin fell to approximately $73,753 on April 19, 2026, after Iran rejected a second round of U.S. peace talks.

Iran’s refusal to negotiate stalled Strait of Hormuz diplomacy, wiping an estimated $83B from the broader crypto market.

Traders will watch for a U.S. response or renewed Pakistan-mediated talks, with BTC support holding near $70,500.

The price of bitcoin (BTC) slipped to approximately $73,753 on Bitstamp on April 19, 2026, a decline of roughly 2% over the prior 24 hours. The move wiped billions from total crypto market capitalization and pushed BTC out of the $74,000 to $77,000 range it had held during recent consolidation.Iran’s state-run Islamic Republic News Agency confirmed Tehran’s withdrawal from a proposed second negotiating session. Iranian officials cited Washington’s excessive demands, contradictory positions, and what Iran described as an ongoing U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz as reasons for refusing further talks.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical oil transit chokepoint. Disruptions there carry direct implications for global energy prices and investor risk appetite, and crypto markets have tracked those signals closely throughout early 2026.

The first round of talks took place April 11 and 12 in Islamabad, Pakistan, spanning more than 21 hours without producing a ceasefire or nuclear agreement. U.S. Vice President JD Vance disclosed that Iran chose not to accept American terms. Iranian officials described the session as preliminary.

A brief stretch of optimism followed in mid-April after President Trump indicated Iran had reached out quietly for further dialogue. That signal temporarily pushed bitcoin toward $76,000 as risk assets broadly recovered. Saturday’s rejection reversed that move.

The broader crypto market dropped alongside BTC. Key technical levels now draw attention. Charts point to support around $70,500 to $71,000

Bitcoin tests $78,000 resistance as short-squeeze risks mount, altcoins rally

The crypto market is on the brink of a major breakout with bitcoin trading at $78,000, the level it failed to breach on Friday and a price it has not topped since January.

A break above this level would trigger upside momentum to $80,000 as $180 million worth of futures positions are due to be liquidated between $77,000 and $78,000, according to CoinGlass' liquidation heatmap.

BASED: Hyperliquid’s On-Chain Super App

Building on its US success, crypto exchange Coinbase has rolled out crypto-backed USDC loans for UK residents, using Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as collateral. This expands the exchange’s growing suite of financial services in the region.

Crypto-Backed Loans Cross The Pond
On Monday, Coinbase, the largest crypto exchange in the US, announced that it has expanded its Borrow product to UK residents, unlocking more liquidity for users without having to sell their crypto holdings.

UK customers can now instantly borrow USDC using their Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Coinbase Wrapped Staked Ether (cbETH) as collateral, powered by Morpho, an on-chain protocol on the Base network.

Notably, Coinbase users will be able to borrow up to $5 million in USDC for Bitcoin-backed loans, depending on the amount of BTC pledged as collateral, the announcement explained.

The crypto exchange stated that collateral will be locked in a Morpho smart contract until the loan is fully repaid, and there is no fixed repayment schedule. However, it will be liquidated to repay the loan if the loan-to-value ratio exceeds a certain threshold, and Morpho will charge a liquidation penalty fee.

According to the Monday announcement, the launch expands access to the exchange’s crypto-backed lending service, which has seen multi-billion-dollar demand since launch in the US last year.

Providing access to crypto-backed loans in the UK is the first step in Coinbase’s ongoing efforts to expand following the launch of this offering in the US in January 2025. Initial interest in the service in the US has been substantial with total loan originations through Coinbase on Morpho growing to over $2.17B USDC as of April 14, 2026. Coinbase plans to continue expanding access to crypto-backed loans in more countries in the near future.

It also marks another step in Coinbase’s efforts to build a broader lineup of financial products in the country, following its successful registration as a crypto service provider by

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

Solana’s price may appear stagnant, but the $85 zone is now turning into one of the most critical levels on the chart. After weeks of sideways movement, Solana price is holding firm near a key demand region while underlying developments continue to build. From shifting staking dynamics to expanding real-world use cases, the network is evolving even as price remains compressed.

This creates a growing divergence between price action and fundamentals, raising a key question: Is Solana (SOL) preparing for a breakout, or losing strength at a decisive level?

Staking Model Overhaul Reshapes Market Participation
One of the most important yet underpriced developments is Solana’s staking system upgrade. Previously, reward distribution heavily favored large holders. A wallet staking 5,000 SOL had nearly 5,000x advantage over a 1 SOL staker in reward probabilities. This created a system dominated by whales.

Hyperliquid’s Jeff Yan Says Small Teams Win in Crypto

In an industry obsessed with headcount, funding rounds, and corporate expansion, Jeff Yan is doing the opposite. And he thinks that’s exactly why Hyperliquid is winning.

Yan, the founder of Hyperliquid, recently pulled back the curtain on one of the most talked-about aspects of the protocol: its famously small team. No marketing department and no sales team. Just engineers, and a community that, according to Yan, does the outreach job better than any hired team ever could.

The U.S. Navy attacked the TOUSKA on Sunday, spiking Brent crude 5% and risking future ceasefire talks.

The IRGC launched a retaliatory drone strike, pushing oil prices further up.

Trump sends reps to Islamabad for a 2nd round of talks to end the conflict or strike Iran’s grid next.

While a ceasefire was announced, and negotiations are taking place between the U.S.- Israel coalition and the Iranian regime, hostilities resumed as the Trump Administration attacked an Iranian cargo ship trying to bypass the ongoing naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday.President Trump announced that an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named TOUSKA tried to go through the naval blockade, and the U.S. Navy stopped it by “blowing a hole in the engine room.” Trump stressed that the vessel was under international sanctions and had a history of illegal activity. He added that TOUSKA was seized and in full custody of U.S. forces.

Iranian authorities vowed swift retaliation over this incident, and according to Iranian media reports, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched drone strikes on American vessels, which might be considered a violation of the ceasefire reached.

Markets reacted swiftly to these developments as future contracts of the two main oil benchmarks, the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and the Brent, rose over 5% during the session, with the former reaching over $90 and the latter surpassing $95, experiencing constant volatility over the announcement and events linked to the geopolitical instability.Nonetheless, Trump clarified that, despite these offenses, he would send representatives to Islamabad to attend the second round of negotiations to end the current conflict. “We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran
