Hive Digital Technologies and Riot Platforms headline this week’s crypto-related earnings reports. The two data center operators have expanded their operations and added high-performance computing for AI applications to their bitcoin mining operations.
In macroeconomics, the Federal Reserve is likely to grab headlines, with minutes from the latest Federal Open Market Committee meeting to be released on Wednesday. The committee held prices steady in January with two dissenting votes calling for a reduction.
The week also features a number of speeches from Fed officials, including Raphael Bostic, Michelle Bowman and Neel Kashkari.
