Bitcoin mining firm NYDIG already has skin in the game at the Massena, New York site — it holds a stake in Coinmint, which runs mining hardware there under a long-term lease. Now the company wants the land itself.

A Deal Years In The Making

Alcoa’s Massena East smelter went dark in 2014 after energy costs climbed and overseas competition cut into margins. The sprawling facility along the St. Lawrence River has sat idle ever since.

Based on reports, Alcoa CEO Bill Oplinger told Bloomberg the two companies are deep in talks and expects a deal to close sometime in the middle of 2026. Financial terms were not disclosed.

For NYDIG, the appeal goes beyond location. Industrial smelters are wired for round-the-clock heavy operations — they come with substations, transmission lines, and grid connections that can handle enormous power loads.

Data center operators and crypto miners often wait years to build that kind of infrastructure from scratch. At Massena, it already exists. The site also draws power from the New York Power Authority’s hydroelectric supply, which cuts costs and reduces the carbon footprint of whatever runs there next.

Old Industry, New Tenants

Massena is not the only shuttered smelter drawing interest from the digital sector. Earlier this year, Century Aluminum sold its Hawesville, Kentucky facility to TeraWulf for $200 million.

TeraWulf plans to turn the site into a high-performance computing and AI campus. Since that deal closed, TeraWulf shares have climbed 80% year-to-date, according to Yahoo Finance data.

The pattern is clear: retired heavy industry sites, long considered liabilities, are being snapped up by firms that need power and space fast. These properties offer something new construction cannot — infrastructure that is already approved, already connected, and already bu

Digital asset investment products recorded a powerful rebound last week, pulling in $1.4 billion in net inflows, according to CoinShares—the strongest weekly performance since January.
This marks the third consecutive week of positive inflows, signaling a steady return of institutional appetite after months of uneven sentiment.
📊 Key Highlights
Bitcoin leads the charge with $1.116 billion in inflows
Ethereum follows with $328 million, its strongest week since January
Total assets under management rose to $155 billion, reflecting renewed market participation
Notably, weekly inflows represented 0.91% of total AUM, the highest intensity seen so far this year—suggesting momentum is accelerating rather than fading.
🌍 Regional Breakdown
🇺🇸 United States: +$1.5 billion (dominant driver of flows)
🇩🇪 Germany: +$28 million
🇨🇭 Switzerland: -$138 million (largest outflow since November)
The data shows a clear divergence: strong US-led demand versus selective profit-taking in Europe.
📉 Market Positioning Signals
XRP: $56 million outflows
Solana: $2.3 million outflows
Short-Bitcoin products: only $1.4 million inflows
This suggests limited hedging activity, with investors primarily positioning for upside rather than downside protection.
🧠 What’s Driving the Trend?
CoinShares attributes the inflows to:
Improved risk sentiment after Bitcoin surpassed $76,000
Ongoing geopolitical ceasefire discussions between the US and Iran
Limited reaction to recent macro data like US CPI
🔑 Bottom Line
Institutional capital is clearly returning to digital assets, with Bitcoin and Ethereum absorbing the majority of inflows.

With gold hovering near record highs, you’d expect central banks to slow down their buying. Instead, BRICS nations are doing the opposite—they’re accelerating.
Since 2019, BRICS’ share of global gold reserves has climbed from 11.2% to 17.4% as of April 2026. And the pace picked up sharply after 2022. The reason is simple but powerful: trust and control over reserves.
When roughly $300 billion of Russia’s foreign reserves were frozen, it sent a clear message to the world—assets held abroad can become inaccessible overnight. Gold, especially when stored domestically, doesn’t carry that same risk.
But this isn’t just about defense—it’s also about building something new.
BRICS is actively exploring a gold-linked trade settlement system called the “Unit”, composed of 40% gold and 60% member currencies, with each unit tied to one gram of gold. This isn’t a cryptocurrency—it’s a new financial instrument aimed at reshaping cross-border trade.
At the same time, BRICS nations already hold a major advantage:
they account for roughly 50% of global gold production and over half of sovereign gold purchases in recent years.
Zooming out, a bigger trend is forming:
de-dollarization and gold accumulation are moving in parallel.
Central banks globally are reinforcing this shift:
73% expect the dollar’s share of reserves to decline further
43% plan to increase gold holdings
None are planning to reduce gold exposure
The dollar still dominates at around 57% of global reserves—but that’s down significantly from 71% in 1999.
The takeaway?
Gold is no longer just a hedge—it’s becoming a strategic pillar in a changing financial order.
This isn’t a short-term trade. It’s a long-term structural shift.
And BRICS is positioning itself right at the center of it.

Биткоин снова отброшен. Резкое падение ниже 70 000 долларов? Готовится ли BTC к...

Биткоин демонстрирует первые признаки распределения: фиксация прибыли усиливается, а приток средств в ETF ослабевает, что сигнализирует о снижении поддержки как со стороны розничных инвесторов, так и институциональных.

Высокая позиция и слабая структура указывают на рост волатильности в будущем, но подтвержденного пробоя пока нет, что удерживает рынок в переходной фазе.

Цена биткоина столкнулась с отскоком от важного уровня сопротивления, упав на 2,62% и достигнув отметки около 75 000 долларов. Рост, похоже, обусловлен геополитическими новостями, поскольку недавний прирост полностью сошёл на нет. Корпус стражей исламской революции снова полностью заблокировал Ормузский пролив, что усилило давление продаж на токен.

После очередного отскока от зоны 75 000–78 000 долларов, ценовое движение начинает демонстрировать признаки истощения, а не продолжения.
