Update
Riot Platforms, a Bitcoin miner, saw its shares surge over 13% on Wednesday after announcing a $28 billion AI data center lease, its largest to date. The 15-year agreement covers 910 megawatts at its Corsicana, Texas, facility, bringing its total future contracted data center revenue to approximately $38 billion. The company's CEO, Jason Les, stated that the agreement represents a major step in Riot's AI infrastructure strategy, moving away from Bitcoin mining revenue. Riot will provide land and power infrastructure for the AI tenant, Anthropic, which will own and operate the computing equipment and cover operating expenses. The project's total capital costs are estimated at $5.5 billion, financed primarily through debt backed by lease payments.

The SEC's Division of Corporation Finance has granted a regulatory nod to Canton Coin, the native token of the Canton Network.

(DTCC) launched a tokenization service on the Canton Network. The relief from enforcement action is contingent on the token being minted programmatically without registration. Canton Coin's value is derived from the network's programmatic operation and supply and demand, with no central party. The letter reflects staff's position on enforcement, not a legal conclusion, and is based on the facts presented by Canton.

News
Results of mid-term elections in the US initially caused concern on financial markets, but investor sentiment changed after it was known that Democrats won both chambers of Congress. Investors anticipate that the balance of political power between the Blue House and Congress will lead to more predictable economic policies. This change is seen as a signal that Washington may become less inclined to make drastic economic decisions. Democrats now control both the House of Representatives and the Senate, making it harder for President Trump to push his legislative initiatives without opposition. For the broader market, this could be seen as a positive development, as divided government often leads to more predictable economic policies despite ongoing political disputes.
