Many experts voiced concerns that the confirmation of Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve chair would lead to uncertainty about the central bank’s independence, particularly in setting interest rates. Kevin Warsh is set to be sworn in as the next chair of the US Federal Reserve Board of Governors on Friday amid speculation about whether he'll do what US President Donald Trump hopes he does: Lower interest rates once in office. On Wednesday, the US Senate voted largely along party lines to confirm Warsh as the next Fed chair, succeeding Jerome Powell. While Trump nominated both Fed governors in different terms, the president repeatedly threatened to fire Powell in recent months, saying that the Fed chair “should be lowering interest rates.” Source: Kalshi Read more

Hosting revenue outpaced mining as new capacity came online, highlighting Soluna’s shift toward data centers for AI and high-performance computing. Digital infrastructure company Soluna Holdings reported strong first-quarter revenue growth as expanding data center operations helped offset weaker returns from cryptocurrency mining.

It was Soluna’s fourth-consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth. The gains were driven by additional capacity coming online at the company’s Dorothy and Kati sites in Texas. Data center hosting generated $6.7 million in revenue, while cryptocurrency mining contributed roughly $2.2 million, down from nearly $3 million the year before, as Bitcoin mining economics deteriorated.  Read more

Bitcoin traders are closely watching the $74,000-$75,000 support zone as exchange inflows rise and market signals weaken following BTC's loss of momentum above $82,000. Bitcoin (BTC) lost its hold on the $80,000 level over the weekend, and data suggest that the cryptocurrency needs to trade above the $74,000-$75,000 range, as it has repeatedly served as key support over the last two years.  Crypto analyst Ardi said the next retest of the $74,000-$75,000 range could become the most important support test of the current bear market. The analyst pointed to the role that the price range played during the last two years. In 2024, Bitcoin struggled to break above the range during a seven-month-long consolidation. In Q1 2025, the same area held as support before BTC rallied toward its cycle highs at $126,000. Read more
