MEXC listed nine Ondo tokenized stock and ETF trading pairs on July 8, covering data center, semiconductor and power supply chains, tapping into growing AI infrastructure demand.

From Oct 2025 to Feb 2026, five major miners dumped ~15,000 BTC. February sales hit a record 6,100 BTC as Bitcoin fell to $70k, driven by cost pressures.

Bitcoin plunged below $63,000 on Thursday, down over 10% in 24 hours, its steepest one-day drawdown since the FTX meltdown in November 2022. Liquidity drought and correlated selloffs in precious metals and equities amplified the rout.

Bitcoin dropped 6% below $84,000, leading a broad selloff in crypto stocks. Spot exchange volume in January shrank to $90 billion. Miners pivoting to AI bucked the trend with year-to-date gains.

VanEck says bitcoin miners moving into AI infrastructure now face scrutiny over execution, not contract headlines. The firm estimates a near-term funding gap of about $50 billion and long-term capital needs of $221 billion.
