Hut 8 has won the bidding process with a US$ 140 million offer to acquire Poolin’s Texas data centers. The proposed deal would add two Texas sites to Hut 8’s expanding AI infrastructure portfolio, tightening its footprint where demand for compute keeps rising.

Binance has started listing new TradFi perpetual futures contracts tied to US equities, including Hut 8 and AMC. The move underscores the growing convergence of crypto and traditional finance, with an emphasis on improving market liquidity and trading fluidity.

By bringing perpetual futures on stocks into a crypto exchange environment, Binance is widening access for traders seeking TradFi exposure with crypto-native execution.

Fortitude Mining has appointed former Hut 8 CEO Jaime Leverton as chief executive as the Zcash-focused miner expands operations and moves toward a planned public listing through a proposed merger with HeartSciences. Leverton will take over on Sept. 21, succeeding Andrea Childs, who shifts to chief operating officer.

The leadership change is backed by strong mining and financial signals: Fortitude mined 72,696 ZEC in the first half of 2026 (about 28% of the network’s total production during the period) and reported revenue of US$ 20.9 million for the second quarter. With more than 60 megawatts of power capacity across seven sites and an agreed purchase of 9,000 Bitmain Antminer Z15 Pro machines expected to add 7.56 GSol/s of equihash hashrate, Fortitude’s path to a Zcash miner IPO looks increasingly well-capitalized and operationally accelerating.
