Riot announced a 15-year lease for its Corsicana campus on 4 November, covering 910 megawatts of critical IT capacity. The roughly $28 billion figure is contracted value over the initial term, not money received today.
Zcash’s NU7 rules disable version-4 transactions at mainnet block 3,543,405. That also makes funds left in the old Sprout privacy pool unspendable. The deadline is a block height, not a guaranteed clock time.
Centrifuge announced a tokenised product linked to Schroders’ Emerging Market Bond fund on 4 November. It marks Schroders’ first deployment on Solana and expands the network’s fund offerings beyond cash-like assets.
Tether’s 4 November report puts the gold backing XAUT at roughly 827,418 fine troy ounces, worth $3.44 billion at 30 September. The physical reserve grew 59% from the end of 2025.
BitGo launched Global Markets on 4 November, bringing institutional execution, financing, derivatives and settlement together. Former NYDIG executive Pete Janney will lead the business.
Kraken’s notices updated on 4 November schedule API maintenance from 07:00–14:00 London on 5 November, followed by ADA, STX, XLM and XRP funding maintenance from 15:00–17:00.
