Analysis: Amazon's $50 billion AI infrastructure investment boosts crypto market sentiment
According to ChainCatcher, citing a certain information platform, last week the market (especially the crypto market) experienced a significant downturn, but on Monday this week, sentiment saw at least a temporary reversal—investors were buoyed by Amazon (AMZN) announcing plans to expand artificial intelligence and supercomputing infrastructure for the US government, with a maximum investment of $50 billion.
This news pushed the Nasdaq up 2.3% and the S&P 500 up 1.4% by noon Eastern Time. Risk appetite also spread to the crypto market, with the price of bitcoin rebounding to $87,300 after having fallen below $80,000 on Friday. Nevertheless, bitcoin is still down more than 7% week-on-week. Among the biggest beneficiaries of the positive news from Amazon are bitcoin mining companies that have adjusted their business models to focus on AI infrastructure and high-performance computing: · Cipher Mining (CIFR) surged 18% · CleanSpark (CLSK) and IREN (IREN) both rose 13% · Hut 8 (HUT) increased by 9%. Other crypto-related companies also generally moved higher, including a certain exchange, Galaxy Digital (GLXY), and Bullish (BLSH), with gains of 4%-5%.
