In dieser Folge von Beckers Bets spricht Moderator Christoph Damm mit Ha Duong, Krypto-Experte und Fondsmanager bei BIT Capital. Im Gespräch geht es um Powells Rede in Jackson Hole und die Frage, ob das wirklich der Start einer Zinswende ist, um Stablecoins als neue Milliarden-Käufer von US-Staatsanleihen und ihre geopolitische Bedeutung sowie um Ethereum, das zuletzt ein neues Allzeithoch erreicht hat. Ha Duong sieht darin weit mehr als nur Kursfantasie – für ihn ist Ethereum längst eine Infrastruktur-Plattform, vergleichbar mit Nvidia im KI-Boom. Außerdem geht es um Bitcoin-Miner, die ihr Geschäftsmodell erweitern und mit KI-Deals ein zweites Standbein entwickeln – vom Google-Vertrag mit TeraWulf bis zu den Erfolgen von IREN.

Since then, the volume of digital asset payments has grown more than fivefold to nearly $300 million in the first half of 2025. The University of San Andres allegedly pays its international faculty in Bitcoin. Carlos Neira, co-founder of Colombian wallet provider Meru, reports a staggering 6,600% increase in Bolivian users since the ban was lifted.

Auradine's new ASIC miner takes a traditional server rack design into the brave new world of bitcoin mining.You're listening to The Mining Pod. Subscribe to the newsletter, trusted by over 8,000 Bitcoiners: https://newsletter.blockspacemedia.comWant to mine Bitcoin? Check out the Blockspace Media store today!Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Sanjay Gupta, CSO of Auradine, joins us to discuss the Teraflux AH3880, a hydro-cooled, U2 server rack form factor Bitcoin miner. Clocking in at 600 TH/s and 14.5-16.5 J/TH efficiency, the AH3880 applies a tried-and-tested server design from traditional datacenters to the world of bitcoin mining. Gupta explains why Auradine decided to design the model after input from its clients and the advantages of a server rack form factor over traditional shoebox miners, and how this design overlaps with AI and HPC computing infrastructure. Plus, he discusses some of the challenges and triumphs of ramping up Auradine's ASIC manufacturing capacity to 1,000 units per week.Notes:- Terra Flux AH3880: 600 TH/s at 14.5-16.5 J/TH- U2 server rack form factor for density & cooling- Current production capacity: thousands of units/week- $250M in bookings, $500M+ in pipeline- US-designed, diverse manufacturing locations- Auto-tuning tech for load balancing with AI/HPCTimestamps:00:00 Start03:35 New ASIC miner model05:37 Why hydro not immersion?08:40 U2 vs shoebox form factor12:32 Production capacity15:43 Production of hydro vs other18:20 Tariffs & on-shoring23:16 De-risking tariff & sanctions26:25 Pre-order numbers28:16 Public vs private buyers30:53 HPC influencing from factor?35:45 Tandem workloads36:42 Hydro cooling design40:21 Testing process43:12 Future plans
