Wall Street is turning AIs massive electricity appetite into a $61 billion bond market

Every interaction with AI uses electricity in a data center. Servers calculate the answer, cooling equipment carries away the heat, and network connections send the result back to the user.　　Multiply that process across millions of requests and the electric bill becomes one of the facilitys highest costs, while access to enough power determines how much computing the building can support and how much money it can earn.　　Wall Street is now packaging that income into bonds. Once a data center is open and has paying customers, its owner can transfer the facility and its contracts to a separate legal entity that issues debt. Investors are repaid from the rent and service fees paid by the data centers customers after expenses such as electricity, maintenance, taxes, and insurance are covered.　　The collateral extends beyond rent, covering the property, its essential systems, customer agreements, and the business that keeps everything running. Electricity appears as an expense in the cash-flow waterfall, so power prices and deliverable megawatts can shape the bond almost as much as tenant credit.　　In February, Ss $475 million 2026-1 notes, backed by real estate and tenant lease payments. Across the sector, outstanding data-center securitizations expanded from roughly $4 billion in 2020 to

XRP Ledger has fewer active accounts than last year, but bigger trades and more value

The $XRP Ledger had fewer active accounts in the second quarter than it did a year earlier, but the accounts still trading on its main exchange were moving almost three times as much $XRP.　　Order-book trading averaged 3.57 million $XRP a day during the quarter, up 79% from a year earlier. At the same time, the number of accounts initiating those trades fell to about 1,100 a day from more than 1,860.　　That worked out to roughly 3,200 $XRP traded per account each day, against about 1,070 a year earlier, Evernorth, the $XRP treasury company preparing to list on Nasdaq, shared in a quarterly report with CoinDesk.　　An account is not necessarily one person. A trading firm can use several, while an individual can do the same. The data therefore cannot show whether institutions are replacing retail traders — but indicates $XRP is being traded by a smaller group of active accounts.　　The number of assets $XRP changed hands against on the order book fell to about 319 a day from 480, down 18% on the year and the lowest in the six quarters the report covers.　　$XRP trading is concentrating into fewer accounts.

Gold and Silver Price Analysis Tracks Selloff After Strong August Jobs Data

The gold and silver price analysis indicated a repricing following the stronger-than-expected US employment data.　　Spot gold fell 1.1% to $4,422.91 after touching $4,364.99. Silver fell, and cryptocurrencies tumbled.　　Employers in the U.S. created 162,000 new positions in August, well above expectations of 56,000. The unemployment rate remained at 4.1% while average hourly earnings increased 0.3%. The report caused the dollar to rise and Treasury yields to tick up, dampening demand for assets with no interest income.　　Gold and Silver Price Analysis Tracks the Shock　　Ian Cooper attributes the sell-off to the strong payrolls report. The resilient jobs uptick raised the chances of another Fed rate hike, he says. The higher the rate, the more expensive the holding gold will be, but inflation and geopolitical demand may change that.　　Coopers daily gold chart shows that the price is now approaching $4,423 after dropping.

Cardano Price Prediction: ADA Holds $0.19 Support as $0.24 Breakout Could Open a Larger Recovery

Cardano (ADA) is holding above the key $0.19 support as improving momentum and a potential breakout above $0.24 keep the path towards a larger recovery open.　　Cardano price is showing fresh signs of strength after holding the key $0.19 support and recovering towards $0.21. With momentum improving and a new four-hour buy signal confirmed, traders are now watching whether ADA price can break above $0.24 and turn this early bounce into a much larger recovery.　　ADA Holds the 0.786 Fibonacci Support　　Cardanos latest recovery began after the price defended the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement area near the high-$0.18 to $0.19 region. The bounce has taken ADA back towards $0.20-$0.21, but the market still needs to reclaim nearby resistance before the move becomes more convincing.　　The Moon Show highlights roughly $0.205 as the first level bulls need to take back. A sustained move above this area would strengthen the recovery structure and shift attention towards the 0.618 retracement zone before the broader resistance around $0.22-$0.24 becomes relevant.　　The importance of the 0.786 level is that it represents one of the final deeper retracement areas before the previous impulse structure would begin to look significantly weaker. As long as ADA continues holding around $0.19, the current bounce remains

XRP Bulls Defend Key Level as Analyst Envisions Another 100% Rally

XRP is back on the offensive, but can it really reach the $2.70 target？　　The price rally initiated by the cross-border token in mid-August was halted at $1.70, and the subsequent correction drove it south hard to under $1.35. However, the asset managed to rebound swiftly and now sits above a key support level at $1.40.　　This has provided additional fuel to popular bullish analysts such as EGRAG CRYPTO to map out XRPs next move, which could take it north by almost 100%.　　Is $2.70 on the Map for XRP？　　The token‘s recovery coincided with a substantial increase in trading activity as the spot volume across major exchanges skyrocketed to its highest level since February in late August. Binance alone handled almost $7.3 billion in XRP spot trades, followed by South Korea’s Upbit ($4.7 billion) and Bithumb with $2.6 billion.　　EGRAG argued that XRP is now attempting to establish a bullish continuation pattern after recovering from the recent pullback that drove it from $1.70 to $1.33 in just over a week. The key here will be whether buyers can reclaim the resistance area that has repeatedly capped the assets breakout attempts.　　If XRP is finally successful, it could aim at $2.70, said EGRAG, which would be

South Korea Reveals Tokenized Securities Roadmap

South Korea‘s Financial Services Commission (FSC) introduced a policy roadmap on September 4 to digitize the issuance and circulation of securities, a three-phase plan that begins with tokenized money market funds for institutions in February 2027 and eventually reaches on-chain payments tied to stablecoins, according to the regulator’s announcement.　　A Three-Phase Tokenization Timeline　　The FSC unveiled the roadmap at its third private-public consultative meeting on securities tokenization and will direct securities firms and the Korea Securities Depository (KSD) to build the supporting infrastructure. An amendment to the Act on Electronic Registration of Stocks and Bonds takes effect on February 4, 2027, legally recognizing security tokens as a digitized form of securities and marking the start of the first phase.　　That phase covers privately pooled money market funds and bonds reserved for institutional investors, unlisted stocks issued through a trust structure, and publicly offered fractional investment securities. The second phase would widen tokenization to all publicly offered securities, while a final stage targets on-chain payment infrastructure linked to stablecoins. The FSC said the later phases stay flexible, depending on the first phases outcome, market adoption, and pending stablecoin legislation.　　Guardrails for Fractional Investing　　The roadmap also sets model standards for fractional investment, which can take the

Revolut wins conditional OCC approval – What it means for EURR and crypto

In a recent turn of events, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has given Revolut a preliminary green light to establish a national bank. This in turn would allow the firm to build and operate its own banking infrastructure under U.S. federal banking supervision.　　However, the approval is not yet the final authorization to start banking operations. Going forward, Revolut still has to satisfy the OCCs conditions and obtain approvals from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Federal Reserve.　　Still celebrating this milestone, Revolut Founder and CEO Nik Storonsky said,　　Conditional OCC approval is an important first step towards establishing the proposed Revolut Bank US. It gives us the foundation to build in the worlds largest financial market and bring the full Revolut experience to millions of Americans.　　Needless to say, this is good news for the crypto industry because Revolut has also launched its euro-backed stablecoin, EURR. And now, with OCCs green light, more crypto initiatives might come in. Though EURR has drawn mixed reactions, this is just the start.　　Why not all approvals are good news？　　That said, Revolut is not the only one riding this boat. As over the past year, the OCC has conditionally approved national trust

Binance Coin (BNB), Uniswap (UNI), Gram (GRAM) and ChainLink (LINK) Price Analysis for September 5: Memecoin and Altcoin Season Is Here

After momentarily hitting the $725–$730 range, Binance Coin is currently trading around $713 in an effort to maintain one of its biggest upward trends in recent months. The structural shift that underlies the rally is just as significant as the event itself.

Most notably, after falling below the 200-day EMA for several months, the price has now recovered it around $651. As a result, the current bullish structures primary support range is now $650–$670.　　BNB/USDT Chart by TradingView　　Binance Coin (BNB), Uniswap (UNI), Gram (GRAM) and ChainLink (LINK) Price Analysis for September 5: Memecoin and Altcoin Season Is Here　　Ripple Swell to Feature Indias Former Central Bank Governor　　Momentum is the problem right now. After a dramatic increase from roughly $605, BNB is now in overbought territory with an RSI of about 73. Buyers are facing significant opposition, as evidenced by the most recent rejection at $730. Therefore, a short-term correction or sideways consolidation would be typical instead of the breakout being immediately invalidated. $730 is the initial level that bulls must clear.　　You Might Also Like　　Discover more　　Compare Credit Cards　　FINANCE　　exchange-traded funds
