AVAX One builds a 10MW AI computing center in Canada, purchasing 220 BTC mining rigs as a stopgap.

Gate News, April 7, Nasdaq-listed company AVAX One Technology (AVX) announced progress on its AI infrastructure strategy. The company has signed a FEED package for a 10MW AI/HPC microgrid data center, located in Alberta, Canada. Leveraging the region’s low-cost natural gas power resources, it aims to build high value-for-money, scalable dedicated AI computing infrastructure. The project is led by BlueFlare for design and is set to become one of the first AI computing centers in the local area. Meanwhile, the company invested less than $500k to buy 220 Bitmain S21 Pro mining machines, increasing Alberta’s computing power from 150 PH/s to over 200 PH/s. This move serves as a transitional cash-flow source during the AI center construction period, implementing a two-track strategy of “mining + AI computing.”

The U.S. dominates global Bitcoin mining, and a 5.8% drop in hashrate triggers a miners’ profitability crisis

Gate News message: In 2026 Q2, global Bitcoin hashrate fell 5.8% quarter-over-quarter to 1004 EH/s, signaling significant financial pressure for the mining industry. The Bitcoin price dropped from $126k in October 2025 to $65k in February 2026, directly weakening miners’ profitability. Hashprice fell to $27.89 per PH/s per day; operations have become difficult to sustain for equipment with efficiency worse than 25 J/TH. About 252 EH/s of hashrate is offline, and some may be permanently retired. Despite an overall decline in hashrate, the United States still accounts for 37.4% of the global Bitcoin hashrate—about 375 EH/s—maintaining its leading position. Russia ranks second with 16.9%, while China is 12%; however, after the 2025 Xinjiang compliance crackdown, about 13% of mining sites were shut down. These three countries together make up nearly 65% of global hashrate, indicating that network concentration remains high. Meanwhile, some emerging markets are growing rapidly. Kyrgyzstan is up 300% year over year, Paraguay is up 54%, and Laos and Finland have doubled their hashrate. Ethiopia also accounts for 2.5% of the global hashrate, showing the importance of policy support and natural resources in shaping mining deployment. By contrast, Iran’s hashrate fell by about 7 EH/s and Argentina’s dropped by 42%; macroeconomic and geopolitical factors continue to affect development in some regions. The Bitcoin network continues to self-adjust: in early April 2026, after difficulty fell by about 8% from the previous period, it then rose by nearly 4%, reflecting the mining protocol’s ability to adapt to hashrate changes. Overall, current hashrate fluctuations are mainly driven by price cycles. The mining industry’s sustainability still depends heavily on market conditions and hardware efficiency. With high-cost mining rigs being retired alongside expansion into emerging markets, the global Bitcoin mining landscape is undergoing a profound adjustment.

![](https://img-cdn.gateio.im/social/moments-edfb857832-6f419609d7-8b7abd-badf29) ST Group in France will complete the world’s first all-on-chain IPO with Lise, combining tokenized securities with an instant settlement mechanism to open up a new financing model for small and midsize enterprises. A leading aircraft parts maker will spearhead the way, and France will produce the world’s first all-on-chain listed company ------------------------ The French fintech industry is about to reach a historic moment. ST Group, an aerospace components manufacturer headquartered near Toulouse, has officially announced that it will hold its initial public offering (IPO) on April 9. The move bypasses traditional securities exchanges and instead opts to list entirely on the blockchain trading platform Lise (Lightning Stock Exchange). ![](https://img-cdn.gateio.im/social/moments-e4261a905a-4664f9cf7b-8b7abd-badf29) Source: ST Group ST Group announces that it will carry out its IPO on the blockchain trading platform Lise According to the aerospace subcontractor, this is the world’s first IPO completed by a traditional company on a native tokenized exchange. ST Group mainly produces composite parts used for aircraft, defense systems, and space programs. Its projected revenue from potential projects over the next 10 years is expected to reach up to €59 million (about $68 million). For small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) like ST Group, the cost of following the traditional listing route is extremely high and the process is cumbersome. **The company’s CEO, Mark Kepeneghian, candidly admits that blockchain technology provides a practical equity financing path for French industrial SMEs; otherwise, the company would not even consider listing.** Breaking down traditional finance barriers, Lise integrates trading and settlement with blockchain technology --------------------------- The Lise platform that will help ST Group enter the capital markets is a new exchange headquartered in Paris, built specifically for tokenized equity. **Lise’s core technology architecture is based on the Hyperledger Besu permissioned private chain, which enables it to highly integrate trading, clearing, and settlement functions that are scattered across different institutions in traditional markets into a unified automated system.** Compared with the clearing process that can take days for traditional exchanges to complete, Lise can operate 24/7 around the clock and provides near-instant settlement services, running nonstop 7 days a week. **The exchange has obtained an investment company license from the French Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR) and operates under the EU distributed ledger technology (DLT) pilot regime.** The shares issued on Lise are “security tokens” (Security Tokens) from the moment they come into existence. The blockchain ledger is the only real source of securities registration, fundamentally changing how financial markets’ underlying infrastructure operates. Zero fees and a minimum investment starting at one share—tokenized securities reshape the retail investing experience ---------------------- To lower the investment barrier and put financial democratization into practice, Lise has introduced multiple innovative mechanisms into ST Group’s IPO plan. After investors complete registration on the platform, transferred funds are automatically converted into digital deposits, and then investors can subscribe with a simple click. The platform eliminates common subscription fees and custody fees found in traditional markets and sets a minimum investment threshold of “starting from one share.” This mechanism effectively removes the privileges of institutional investors and the interference of gatekeepers. All investors are allocated according to a “first come, first served” principle, ensuring that ordinary investors can compete on a fair track alongside professional institutions. **This IPO has received support from major mainstream French financial forces, including heavyweight institutions such as BNP Paribas, CACEIS, the asset servicing organization under Crédit Agricole, and France’s national investment bank (Bpifrance).** The involvement of these professional financial institutions and placing banks ensures that this action is a true IPO, with a high level of professionalism and credibility. A touchstone under the regulatory sandbox—Europe’s financial transformation ahead of MiCA ------------------------- The timing of this listing action is highly strategic, coming on the eve of the 2026 Paris Blockchain Week. At present, the size of the tokenized real-world assets (RWA) market worldwide is nearing the $1 billion mark, and the total market capitalization of tokenized stocks has reached $941 million. **As the transitional period of the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) ends on July 1, 2026, only officially authorized crypto-asset service providers will be able to operate in the EU. The French regulator AMF has repeatedly urged relevant companies to submit applications as soon as possible.** The results of Lise’s operation serve as a key experimental benchmark under the EU DLT pilot regime. If ST Group’s all-on-chain IPO succeeds, Lise is expected to help bring an additional 3 to 4 companies to the market by the end of 2026. This will open up a cheaper and more efficient capital market pathway for European SMEs, and demonstrate that blockchain technology is capable of addressing liquidity and access challenges in real capital markets—thereby channeling European savings into the real economy.

Been getting a lot of questions lately about what a cold wallet actually is and whether people really need one. So let me break this down the way I'd explain it to someone just getting into crypto. First, the basics. If you're holding any real amount of crypto, you need to understand the difference between how you store it and where you trade it. Most people start on an exchange like the big ones, and yeah, they offer built-in wallets. Convenient? Sure. But convenient doesn't always mean safe when we're talking about your assets. Here's the thing about private keys that most people don't fully grasp. Your private key is basically the master password to your crypto account, except it can never be changed. Once it's created by your wallet, that's it. Think of your public key as more like a bank account number you can safely share with others so they can send you crypto. Your private key? That stays locked down. This is where cold wallets come in. A cold wallet is essentially offline storage for your digital assets. The whole point is that it's disconnected from the internet, which means it's protected from hacking, phishing, malware, and all the other online threats that can drain your holdings. I like to think of it similar to a USB drive. When you unplug it, it's no longer vulnerable to any network-based attacks. That's what makes a cold wallet actually cold—it's not plugged into any electronic network. Now, there are different types of cold wallets, and they all do the same job but in different ways. Hardware wallets are probably what most people think of when they hear cold wallet. They're physical devices, kind of like a USB stick. The popular ones you see discussed are the Trezor Model T and Ledger Nano X. The Trezor Model T runs around $250 and has a full-color touchscreen, which is way nicer than the standard two-button monochrome screens on most devices. It supports over 1,200 tokens and can store NFTs. The Ledger Nano X is the main competitor, costs about $100 less, but you're dealing with the traditional button controls and smaller screen. On the flip side, it works with iOS while the Trezor Model T doesn't. Both offer military-grade security that's basically impenetrable. The downside of hardware wallets? Every time you want to make a transaction, you need to connect to the internet. They're also not cheap and can be confusing for beginners. But the security tradeoff is worth it for serious holders. Then there's the paper wallet route. This is old-school—literally a physical printout of your public and private keys. Can it be hacked? No, because it's just paper. The only risk is if someone steals the actual piece of paper or it gets lost. Paper wallets used to be way more common, but they've fallen out of favor as better methods have evolved. You can generate one using a generator app, and they usually come with QR codes to make transactions easier. Setting up a cold wallet properly is important. First, don't cheap out on this part. Security is literally the entire point, so you want something from an established company that's been tested and proven in the real world. New startups might seem cool, but stick with the brands that have been around and have a track record. Once you pick your hardware wallet, the process is straightforward: buy it, install the official software from the company's website, then transfer your crypto from an exchange or hot wallet into it. After that, generate a recovery seed. This is crucial—it's a 12 to 24 word phrase that lets you recover your wallet if something happens to the device. Guard this recovery seed like it's your most valuable possession. Lose it, and you might lose access to your assets forever. If you go the paper wallet route, store it like you would any valuable item. Fireproof safe, bank safety deposit box, somewhere secure. Not just sitting in a drawer. Why use a cold wallet at all? The main benefit is obvious—security. Since it's not connected to the internet, it's essentially unhackable unless someone physically gets your keys. You don't have to worry about phishing attacks, malware, or any of that. Your assets are yours and yours alone. Cold wallets are also perfect for long-term holding. If you're planning to buy and forget about it for years, a cold wallet is ideal. You can sit on your crypto in a secure location that nobody can access electronically. For long-term investors, this is the move. There's also the ownership factor. With a cold wallet, you physically control your private keys. You're not relying on any third party or exchange to hold your assets. Complete control. Now, the question everyone asks: cold wallet or hot wallet? Here's the real answer—it depends on how you use your crypto. Security-wise, there's no competition. Hot wallets are connected to the internet, which means they're vulnerable to attacks. You could lose everything to hackers or malware. Cold wallets are offline and secure. That's just facts. But hot wallets win on convenience. They're always live, so you can trade whenever you want. Perfect if you're day trading or constantly moving money around. Cold wallets require way more effort to access, which is the tradeoff for security. So the real distinction is this: cold wallets are for long-term investors who want maximum security. Hot wallets are for active traders who need quick access. Most serious people use both—hot wallet for trading, cold wallet for the holdings they're not touching. Here's where people mess up with cold wallets. First, losing your recovery seed is catastrophic. If you lose both the wallet and the seed, you're locked out forever. Treat it with the same level of protection as the wallet itself. Second, don't skip backups. The security that locks only you into your assets can work against you if you have no backup access. Have multiple backups of your recovery seed, stored in different secure locations. Third, just because a cold wallet isn't connected to the internet doesn't mean you can leave it anywhere. It's a physical device. Keep it in a secure location, not just lying around your house. On costs, hardware wallets range from about $29 to $400 and beyond. Whether that's worth it depends on your situation, but if you're serious about crypto long-term, it probably is. The good news is that once you buy the wallet, there's no ongoing fee to store crypto on it. If the device breaks or gets lost, you might have repair or replacement costs, but that's it. Here's my take: if you're holding a meaningful amount of crypto, a cold wallet is worth the investment. Stick with proven brands even if they cost more. Going cheap on security usually costs way more in the long run when something goes wrong. Most experts agree that whether you're new to this or been around for years, the highest level of security comes from using a proper hardware wallet for your long-term holdings. The bottom line is that a cold wallet gives you peace of mind. Your assets are secure, under your control, and protected from the endless threats that exist online. That's worth the inconvenience and cost for anyone serious about holding crypto.

Gate Square April Challenge: The Cost of Ignored Posts April on Gate Square doesn’t punish you for posting. It simply decides whether your posts matter. The #GateSquareAprilPostingChallenge begins in a way that feels easy. You share something, and there’s a chance of a reward. For new users, even that uncertainty disappears. The first post always brings a red packet, making the start feel effortless. But very quickly, something becomes clear. Not every post is equal. You can post ten times and see nothing change. Then you post once, and suddenly there’s attention. Reactions. Movement. It feels inconsistent at first, but it isn’t. It’s selective. Every post has a cost. Not in money, but in attention. When you publish something, you are asking others to stop, read, and respond. If they don’t, that post doesn’t just fail — it gets ignored. And in this system, being ignored is the same as not existing. That’s where most people get stuck. They increase output, thinking more posts will fix the problem. But volume without response only creates more ignored content. And ignored content has no weight. It doesn’t move, it doesn’t spread, it doesn’t build anything. The shift happens when you understand that posting is not the goal. Response is. Engagement — likes, comments, shares — is what gives your content value. It’s what turns a simple post into something that continues to travel. Without it, even daily activity leads nowhere. There is also the matter of exposure. Including the event link and hashtag determines whether your content stays in a small circle or enters a wider stream. More exposure doesn’t guarantee success, but it gives your post a chance to be seen — and more importantly, to be noticed. Consistency builds presence, but presence without impact fades quickly. Repeating the same low-value content increases the number of ignored posts. Over time, this works against you. Meanwhile, fewer but more meaningful posts begin to stand out and create movement. The system doesn’t need to filter out weak content. It lets the audience do that. No interaction means no progression. And at the end, one simple condition remains. Without completing KYC, rewards cannot be claimed. No matter how well you perform, without verification, there is no result. This challenge doesn’t reward effort alone. It rewards attention earned. And once you understand that, everything changes. #GateSquareAprilPostingChallenge
