According to Seoul Economic Daily on November 12, British artificial intelligence infrastructure company Nscale is advancing the construction of more than two artificial intelligence data centers in South Korea. The company established its Korean entity, Nscale Service KR, in July 2026, responsible for data center investment, development, operation, and management. Nscale was founded in 2024, independently procures graphics processing units, and operates artificial intelligence data centers, with a corporate value of approximately 35 billion USD, equivalent to about 47 trillion Korean Won, and is pushing for a listing in the United States.The project has been confirmed to be located in Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province. The original plan was to construct a phase one artificial intelligence data center with a scale of 300 megawatts as a consortium, but it has since changed to be built separately by Nscale and other participants. The data center for which Nscale is responsible is currently undergoing licensing and preparing to commence construction. The company is also evaluating the addition of data centers in other regions of South Korea, through methods including new site construction, renovation of existing facilities, and leasing data centers from other companies. An industry insider who requested anonymity stated that Nscale has previously renovated old data centers overseas and installed graphics processing server units to reduce capital burdens, and may propose similar collaborations to South Korean companies.Additionally, according to the report, the American cloud company CoreWeave is also advancing the construction of data centers in South Korea and appointed Kim Hyun-sik, who previously worked at Microsoft and SoftBank, as the head of its Korean subsidiary last year. The artificial intelligence data center being built by Amazon Web Services and SK Group in Ulsan is scheduled to begin operations next year, and Microsoft has recently started construction on its third data center in Busan. Goldman Sachs analysis indicates that after the Democratic Party's victories in U.S. state and local elections, about 45% of the planned capacity expansions for artificial intelligence data centers in the U.S. may be affected by regulations. CoreWeave stated in a conference call on November 11 that it is expanding its business in Canada, Europe, and Asia to diversify regional regulatory risks. The South Korean government is promoting differentiated electricity pricing by region and a dedicated electricity pricing plan for artificial intelligence data centers.

According to Polymarket data, in the "Next CEO of NVIDIA" prediction market, the probability of the "No Change" option for Jensen Huang has risen from 19% earlier today to 29%, ranking first. NVIDIA's Vice President of High-Performance Computing Ian Buck has dropped to second place with 25%, while Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress ranks third with 23.3%.According to the rules, "No Change" means that NVIDIA has not announced an official successor before 23:59 Eastern Time on December 31, 2028, and interim CEOs do not count. Therefore, even if Jensen Huang steps down, as long as NVIDIA appoints only an interim CEO within the deadline, this option can still prevail. The 29% is the implied probability of "no official successor announced," not the probability of Jensen Huang staying on in the short term.

On November 12, the volume-price trend trader ye.koi stated that the Binance account of the party involved, Shawn, had approximately 400,000 USDT restricted from withdrawal, with contract trading profits of about 340,000 USDT. Ye.koi mentioned that the related restrictions were connected to a freezing request from a local court in Colorado, USA; the party involved had provided the source of funds as requested by Binance customer service, which then indicated that the platform had not lifted the restrictions and required him to contact the U.S. court directly.Ye.koi also stated that after the party checked the court's website, they did not find a public entry for ordinary users to submit defenses or evidence.

A proposal by the U.S. Department of Labor to allow 401(k) retirement plans to allocate alternative assets such as cryptocurrencies has been submitted to the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs for final review on Thursday. The proposal aims to simplify the process for retirement plans to offer alternative investments and provide certain legal protections for employers and plan administrators. The version released by the Department of Labor in March did not specify which digital assets could be included, nor did it set a minimum market capitalization threshold, but it requires administrators to assess six factors: performance, fees, liquidity, valuation, benchmarks, and complexity.Teresa Goody Guillén, managing partner of Bellementis PLLC, stated that Bitcoin and Ethereum may be adopted first due to their mature markets and investment products, but altcoins will not be automatically excluded; plan administrators must demonstrate that their investment choices meet standards of prudence, liquidity, valuation, and investor protection. Bernardo Brites, co-founder and CEO of Trace Finance, noted that some smaller tokens may struggle to meet historical performance and benchmark requirements. The proposal does not limit crypto investments to ETFs or managed funds, but Guillén expects such products may emerge before direct holdings.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that within less than a month, the open interest of BTC on the Binance platform has decreased from 10.6 billion dollars to 8.8 billion dollars, a drop of 17%. Meanwhile, its 180-day moving average has risen from 8.4 billion dollars to 8.6 billion dollars. As the open interest falls below the moving average, new signals of deleveraging are emerging in the market. In a bull market phase, this signal typically appears when market corrections are nearing their end, reflecting that traders are reducing their leveraged exposure, which includes both voluntary liquidations and forced liquidations due to insufficient margin.Aside from the fact that this process may last for months in a bear market, a similar signal last appeared in June of this year when the BTC price was below 60,000 dollars, subsequently rebounding to above 87,000 dollars, with an increase of over 45%. Currently, as the open interest declines, the market is also experiencing large-scale liquidations. Low volatility seems to encourage some traders to take on higher risks to compensate for the insufficient returns brought about by the narrowing price fluctuations, making them more susceptible to market reversal shocks. Over the past three months, the monthly liquidation scale on Binance has reached new highs since 2021: over 1.4 billion dollars in August, 1.1 billion dollars in September, and 1.3 billion dollars in October. This trend appears to continue into November, with the liquidation scale exceeding 520 million dollars before the end of the first half of this month.These data highlight the potential losses that leveraged trading can bring to investors. In a market environment with low volatility and shrinking trading volume, blindly increasing risk exposure due to a lack of patience can quickly lead to heavy costs. However, the deleveraging phase also helps improve the market environment. Reducing leveraged positions can lower the risk of cascading liquidations, allowing spot demand to play a greater role in market pricing, thereby helping Bitcoin establish a more robust market structure.

According to Crypto Briefing, Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated at the DAS London conference that DeFi lending protocols need to introduce a "circuit breaker" mechanism, as the consequences of oracle failures could take years to resolve.He pointed out that the over-reliance on immutable code systems lacks contingency plans. When oracle data deviates, the protocol may trigger liquidations based on incorrect prices, and the immutable nature can lead to irreparable failures. The circuit breaker mechanism draws from traditional markets' practice of halting trading during extreme conditions, allowing protocols to pause operations until the issue is identified.

Zcash holders and community representatives will vote from November 16 to 30 on a proposal to remove 50,000 ZEC from the community grant fund (ZCG). This proposal was co-drafted by Zcash co-founders Sean Bowe, Zooko Wilcox, and Jason McGee, and was merged into the specification repository on Wednesday. According to the October treasury snapshot referenced in the proposal, ZCG holds 91,453 ZEC, and the amount proposed for removal accounts for approximately 55% of its holdings.If the proposal passes and is activated in the network upgrade, ZCG must remove the 50,000 ZEC from circulation within 30 days, and its corresponding value will be included in the Network Sustainability Mechanism, gradually returned through future block rewards. Additionally, the proposal plans to stop allocating 8% of newly issued ZEC to ZCG, transferring this portion of funds into a new Future Dev and Legal Defense Fund, which will continue to accumulate until the next Zcash halving. Funds in this new fund will temporarily be unavailable for expenditure until separate withdrawal rules are approved.ZCG can still use the remaining treasury funds to continue issuing development grants, and the independent 12% holder-controlled fund will not be affected. The proposal states that based on the October treasury snapshot, a ZEC price of $1,300, and expenditure estimates for the first half of 2026, the current funds of ZCG can cover approximately 13 years of expenditures; after the removal of 50,000 ZEC, the remaining funds are expected to cover about 6 years. Previously, ZCG proposed to redirect approximately 98,000 ZEC from existing assets and future income to miner rewards, but abandoned this plan on November 3 after facing community criticism. This new proposal still requires community support and must be implemented through a network upgrade. The activation block height has not yet been determined, nor has a reference implementation been provided.
