Institution: AI Data Center Demand May Drive Bitcoin Mining Firm Reassessment, Announces Over $90 Billion Collaboration
May 19 – Research firm Bernstein released a report today noting that as demand for AI data centers skyrockets, Bitcoin mining companies are emerging as critical players in large-scale computing power infrastructure – and the analyst team is bullish on firms like IREN, Riot Platforms, CleanSpark, and Core Scientific.
The report highlights that major cloud providers, AI service platforms, and chip manufacturers have already announced over $90 billion in AI infrastructure partnerships, totaling roughly 3.7 gigawatts (GW) of power capacity. Bernstein frames "following the gigawatts" as the core of the AI infrastructure competition, pointing out that the massive power resources mining companies control hold major strategic value here.
Analysts gave the four named firms an "Outperform" rating. For IREN, the target price is set at $100, representing a roughly 98% upside from current trading levels. CleanSpark’s target price is $24, translating to an approximate 78% growth potential.

OECD Warns Middle East Conflict Escalates Global Stagflation Risk, Central Banks May Face Dilemma of Fighting Inflation and Supporting Growth
On May 19, OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann stated that the escalating Middle East conflict is delivering a "double whammy" to the global economy: dragging down growth on one hand and stoking inflation on the other. Global central banks may now face a tricky balancing act between curbing inflation and supporting growth.
Cormann pointed out that the OECD already flagged these risks in its March interim economic assessment and plans to release an updated global economic outlook on June 3. He explained that as oil prices rise and energy shocks spill over, if this triggers wage increases and other "second-round inflation effects," even amid slowing economic growth, central banks around the world may still have to keep monetary policy tight.
Reports note that the recent G7 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meeting in Paris was originally focused on long-term structural issues such as the U.S. fiscal deficit. However, with Middle East tensions heating up and global bond ma

U.S. Stocks and Bond Market Experience 'Severe Divergence,' Wall Street Warns of Growing Pullback Risk: Don't Easily Anticipate the Peak
May 19 — As U.S. Treasury yields continue to climb, major Wall Street asset management firms are sounding the alarm: the growing divergence between the stock market and bond market is intensifying, and the market faces a potential pullback risk.
Since April, AI and tech stocks have propelled the S&P 500 to a string of record highs. At the same time, U.S. bonds have faced persistent selling pressure, pushing the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to a one-year peak. Market concerns center on fears that Middle East tensions and elevated oil prices could rekindle inflation, forcing the Federal Reserve to hold interest rates at high levels for longer.
Vincent Mortier, chief investment officer at Eastspring Investments, said, “A stock market pullback is only a matter of time—not whether it will happen.” He noted that market sentiment, prevailing narratives, and investor positioning have flipped completely in just six weeks.
Data confirms the gap: Since ceasefire reports emerged, the S&P 500 has

Matrixdock's silver token XAGm has integrated Pyth real-time price data and is now live on the Sui Network
On May 19, RWA tokenization platform Matrixdock announced that its tokenized silver product, XAGm, has officially integrated with Pyth Network’s real-time price oracle and deployed on the Sui Network.
Currently, Matrixdock’s tokenized gold (XAUm) and silver (XAGm) products both have independent real-time price feeds, the company noted. This move will further strengthen the infrastructure for on-chain precious metal assets, boosting their utility across trading, lending, collateralization, and decentralized finance (DeFi) scenarios.
Matrixdock’s stated goal is to build institutional-grade infrastructure for the on-chain financial reserve layer, while advancing the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA).

Through a joint effort involving promotion by the Base official Twitter account and its founder, the namesake Meme coin TSG saw its market value surge to $6.4 million at the opening.
May 19: Per GMGN monitoring (https://t.me/gmgnaibot?start=i_m4TE56o8), the Base ecosystem’s meme coin TSG saw a sharp surge at opening this afternoon. Its peak market cap topped $6.7 million, and it’s currently trading around $6.4 million with a matching trading volume of $6.7 million.
TSG stands for "The Sleeping Giant"—a narrative first initiated by a Base ecosystem KOL in a post, which was then manually retweeted by Base founder Jesse. The Base official account also simultaneously shared related meme images, and well-known crypto KOL Ansem helped amplify the hype. Fueled by this combined attention from multiple parties, the on-chain eponymous meme coin gained widespread focus right after its launch.
BlockBeats reminds users that meme coin trading is highly volatile, dependent heavily on market sentiment and concept hype, with no actual real-world value or functional use cases. Investors should be fully aware of the involved risks.
