More →S&P Global: Hyperscalers face $7 trillion in AI-related spending.
S&P Global estimates that potential liabilities related to artificial intelligence at major global technology companies may be higher than currently known levels, according to Biji.com. Mark Habib, S&P Global's head of digital infrastructure, said the biggest risk facing hyperscaler ratings remains that expected profits ultimately fail to materialize. He emphasized that hyperscalers are effectively providing guarantees for large data center construction projects or smaller AI companies. S&P expects that the six major U.S. hyperscalers—Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Oracle, Meta, and SpaceX—will invest more than $7 trillion in data centers and other AI-related capital expenditures between 2025 and 2030, and will maintain negative free cash flow at least until next year.

The Central Bank of Russia restricts USDT cross-border arbitrage fund transfers.
Bits Media reports that the Russian central bank and some commercial banks have begun restricting fund transfers involving USDT cross-border arbitrage.
