Crypto mining firm IREN’s shares surge over 15% as the company lifts its AI cloud business target to $4 billion.

2026.07.20 23:31:29

According to market data from BIT (bit.com), shares of Bitcoin mining firm IREN rose roughly 15.7% on Monday, after the company announced an upward revision to its AI cloud business revenue target, projecting its annualized AI cloud revenue run rate will exceed $40 billion by year-end. IREN said it recently signed a multi-year cloud services contract worth $2.8 billion with an AI developer, with approximately 85% of its new AI cloud revenue target already secured by contracts, including clients such as Microsoft, NVIDIA, Perplexity, and Figure AI. Boosted by IREN’s news, the CoinShares Bitcoin Mining ETF (WGMI) gained around 9.6% on Monday, with other mining stocks also moving higher. IREN is currently the ETF’s fourth-largest holding, making up roughly 10.05% of its portfolio. IREN Co-CEO Daniel Roberts stated the company plans to deliver 480MW of AI cloud computing capacity by 2026, a massive jump from the roughly 3MW it had in 2025, and aims to reach 1.2GW of capacity by 2027. The firm noted that demand from hyperscale cloud providers, enterprise clients, and AI developers continues to outstrip its existing and planned computing capacity. Recent client agreements also include advance payment arrangements, which cover around 45% of GPU capital expenditures, easing the financial pressure of expanding AI infrastructure. Earlier, Bernstein predicted in April that as IREN shifts its Bitcoin mining infrastructure to AI computing, its AI cloud business will become its primary revenue source. This trend also reflects a growing number of Bitcoin mining companies transitioning to AI data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) sectors.

In July, the U.S. M2 money supply rose 5.41% year-over-year to $23.22 trillion, making it difficult to bring inflation down to the 2% target.

The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis’ FRED database released new data: Seasonally adjusted U.S. M2 money supply for July 2026 reached $23.22 trillion, rising 5.41% year-over-year, marking the fastest growth rate since mid-2022, a development that may complicate the Federal Reserve’s efforts to bring inflation down to its 2% target. M2 is a broad money supply metric encompassing M1 (cash in circulation, demand deposits, etc.) plus less liquid assets such as small-denomination time deposits and retail money market funds. Seasonally adjusted M2 is constructed by summing seasonally adjusted components after adjusting each relevant component for seasonal factors.

Coinbase submits proposals to the CFTC and SEC regarding product definitions and compliance frameworks for perpetual contract products.

Coinbase’s Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad said the cryptocurrency exchange has submitted a response to the joint request for comments issued by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the definition of perpetual contract products and their compliance framework. The response puts forward three proposals: establishing a flexible compliance framework to boost customer choice, competition and innovation; categorizing equity perpetual derivatives under securities and futures regulation; and allowing trading platforms regulated by either agency to list event contracts related to securities. Coinbase noted that perpetual derivatives and prediction markets provide investors with new tools for investment and risk management, but the complex jurisdictional boundaries between the U.S. CFTC and SEC impose inconsistent requirements on economically related products, hindering market participants’ ability to offer and integrate products via a single U.S.-regulated tech stack.

South Korea's DRAM export prices surged 401% year-on-year in August, and SK Hynix said next year could be the most supply-constrained year in the memory industry's history.

According to South Korea’s Chosun Ilbo, South Korea’s DRAM export prices continue to surge, as AI-driven HBM production squeezes supplies of standard memory. Data shows that from the 1st to the 20th of this month, South Korea’s DRAM export unit price reached $92,183 per kilogram, up 401% year-on-year, and roughly 12.5 times higher than the low point in January 2023. Goldman Sachs forecasts that the DRAM supply gap will widen from 5.0% this year to 5.9% next year, noting that HBM for AI servers and high-capacity server DRAM are absorbing limited production capacity, further tightening supplies of standard DRAM, with shortages potentially lasting until 2028. TrendForce projects that by the end of next year, the wafer input for HBM production by Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron will account for 30% of total DRAM wafer input, though HBM will only make up around 13% of actual DRAM bit supply. Memory manufacturers warn that tight DRAM and NAND supplies driven by AI demand could persist beyond 2027. SK Hynix stated that from the supply side, 2027 could become “the most severe shortage year in the memory industry’s history.”
