Google (GOOG) is supporting the deal by backing $1.3 billion of Fluidstack’s long-term lease obligations, giving lenders more confidence to finance the project. TeraWulf will hold a 51% stake in the joint venture.
TeraWulf also secured the exclusive right to co-develop Fluidstack’s next 168 MW AI data center project under similar terms. With this deal, TeraWulf now has 510 MW of computing capacity under contract, and is aiming to add 250 to 500 MW annually going forward.
In a separate update, the company said it expects third quarter 2025 revenue between $48 million and $52 million, up around 84% from the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA is projected between $15 million and $19 million, nearly triple last year’s results.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
Ce qu'il:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
