High yields on AI data center bonds attract "junk bond" investors; institutions scramble for highly rated infrastructure assets.
According to Bloomberg, as investment in AI infrastructure continues to intensify, data center developers are attracting an increasing number of "junk bond" investors to financing deals, even though some of the bonds themselves have already achieved investment-grade ratings. For example, data center operator QTS Realty Trust issued $3.9 billion in bonds this week to fund data center construction for its Microsoft-related projects. Although this issuance received investment-grade ratings, its yield stands at approximately 7.23%, exceeding the returns typically offered by some medium-grade junk bonds. Additionally, BlackRock also issued high-grade bonds in July for its data center project in Texas, with a yield of 7.53%.
Robinhood CEO: Tokenization Will Reshape the Entire Financial System, Traditional Assets May Move Fully On-Chain
Odaily News: Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated that asset tokenization will become a major trend in the future financial markets and will ultimately transform the entire global financial system. In an interview with CNBC's Squawk Box, Tenev said that tokenization applies not only to crypto assets but will also cover traditional financial assets such as stocks, private equity, and real estate. Blockchain technology can improve asset trading efficiency, reduce intermediary costs, and give more investors access to market opportunities that were previously difficult to participate in. Tenev also discussed future financial service directions such as prediction markets and agentic trading. He stated that Robinhood is transitioning from a pure trading platform to a broader financial infrastructure provider, and hopes to leverage blockchain technology to drive the development of the next generation of capital markets."Tokenization will consume the entire financial system." Tenev previously stated that the tokenization trend is like a high-speed train that cannot be stopped, and future financial assets may gradually migrate to operate on-chain.Robinhood has been advancing its tokenization strategy in recent years, including exploring the tokenization of private company equity to give retail investors access to private markets traditionally dominated by institutions. Tenev believes there is strong consumer demand for private asset investment, and tokenization can serve as an important bridge connecting traditional finance with crypto infrastructure. Bloomberg also reported that.Industry insiders believe that as financial institutions such as BlackRock and Robinhood accelerate their deployment in real world asset (RWA) tokenization, traditional stocks, bonds, funds, and other financial assets moving on-chain are becoming a significant trend in the fintech sector. However, regulatory frameworks, asset ownership confirmation, and investor protection remain key challenges that need to be addressed for large-scale adoption. (CNBC)

Grayscale has filed an S-1 registration statement for the first US Worldcoin ETF, further deepening the connection between digital assets and traditional financial markets. Stablecoin infrastructure also remained active, with Yellow Card completing a $40 million strategic funding round and planning to expand its stablecoin account and payment infrastructure into Latin America and the Asia-Pacific markets.On the investment and financing front, eight deals were completed last week, with total disclosed funding reaching $90.64 million, focused on the infrastructure track. Overall, market risk appetite has seen some recovery, with institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure, stablecoins, and asset tokenization remaining key areas of continued industry focus.
Nvidia Partners with Six Major Asset Managers to Drive AI Infrastructure Financing, Aiming to Mobilize Over $500 Billion in Capital
Odaily News Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced that the company has partnered with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to establish an independent financing platform, planning to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital over the long term to support AI infrastructure development.Huang stated that the AI industry is transitioning from a phase where "enterprises purchase chips and build data centers project by project" to a new stage where AI factories serve as financeable productive infrastructure. AI computing power is becoming an investable asset, characterized by long-term institutional capital support, repeatable construction, and usage by diverse customers.Nvidia noted that AI factories encompass not only GPUs but also high-speed networking, system software, AI frameworks, and the CUDA ecosystem. Built on globally widely adopted architectures, AI factories can serve different customers, cloud providers, and application scenarios, while possessing strong asset liquidity and residual value.In this collaboration, Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR will independently evaluate specific projects, including customer demand, compute utilization, cash flow, and asset value. Nvidia will provide the AI factory platform, while the financial institutions will handle long-term capital and financing capabilities.Huang indicated that in some projects, Nvidia may provide up to 25% residual value support, but this will be prudently assessed on a project-by-project basis. The mechanism is designed to supplement, not replace, the independent judgment of institutional investors.He believes that AI factories will become the "infrastructure of the intelligent era," much like how electricity, transportation, and communication infrastructure drove past industrial revolutions. Going forward, growing demand for AI computing will create a virtuous cycle where "more compute drives stronger AI, stronger AI generates more revenue, and more revenue further fuels compute demand."
NVIDIA Partners with Six Major Wall Street Institutions to Establish $500 Billion AI Infrastructure Financing Platform
According to CNBC, Nvidia has signed a memorandum of understanding with Apollo Global Management, Blackstone, BlackRock, Brookfield Asset Management, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to jointly establish a financing platform for Nvidia customers, aiming to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital for hyperscale data center construction and Nvidia hardware procurement. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang characterized this as the first time AI chips have become an "investable asset class," stating they possess revenue-generating capabilities, long service lives, and can be transferred across customers, while analogizing compute infrastructure to electricity and the internet. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink defined the project as the "next future of financial engineering" following the securitization of mortgages in the 1970s, and stated that more funds would be raised as soon as possible. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon revealed that this collaboration was initiated by Jensen Huang. Currently, some funds have already been raised; the parties will provide financing support for GPUs and data centers through institutional credit, insurance capital, and private capital, helping end users complete AI infrastructure construction without tapping their own balance sheets.
Meta posts record revenue, but AI costs drag down stock price
Meta Platforms (META.O) posted record revenue in the second fiscal quarter, but updates on its AI spending plan sparked investor concerns about the costs of building its infrastructure. Meta slightly raised the lower end of its annual capital expenditure guidance from $125 billion to $130 billion, while keeping the upper end unchanged at $145 billion. Its second-quarter revenue was $60.8 billion, up 28% year-over-year, but net profit was $15.8 billion, below analyst expectations. As a result, Meta's stock fell over 6% in after-hours trading. In an effort to catch up in the AI race, Meta has already invested tens of billions of dollars in chip procurement, data center construction, and top talent recruitment. Recently, it partnered with BlackRock to raise at least $12 billion to build a data center in Texas. Meta's free cash flow in the second quarter was $784 million. (Jin Shi)
Wintermute: BTC ETF Records First Net Outflow Since June as Market Awaits Fed Rate Decision
In a write-up by Wintermute OTC trader @Jjay_dm, BTC ETFs recorded a net outflow of $463 million for the week ending September 14, marking the first negative reading since June's lows. ARK and Grayscale alone accounted for combined outflows of $371 million, while BlackRock remained flat. As a result, BTC fell 4.4% for the week to close at $76,838, making it the worst-performing asset, while Ethereum dipped 1.5% and altcoins collectively gained 1.0%. On the macro front, the US August CPI came in at 0.4% month-on-month (core 0.3%), exceeding the expected 0.2%, while the PPI annual rate hit 5.4%, prompting Goldman Sachs to upgrade its September rate outlook from "hold steady" to "increase." The market has now priced in an 87% probability of a 25-basis-point hike on Wednesday. Meanwhile, ongoing escalation in Middle East tensions pushed Brent crude past $105/barrel, and the 10-year US Treasury yield reached a 20-year high. Wintermute stated that following the shift to negative ETF flows, it favors a neutral over a bullish market stance. Two key catalysts this week: ① On Tuesday, the US Senate will hold a procedural vote on the CLARITY Act (Crypto Market Structure Act), which requires 60 votes to pass; ② On Wednesday, the Fed will announce its interest rate decision. While the rate hike itself is already fully priced in, subsequent hawkish commentary (particularly any signals pointing to continued tightening into Q1 2027) could exert downward pressure on the crypto market.

Wall Street's Next Crypto Competition: Goldman Sachs Challenges BlackRock in Bitcoin Yield Product Market
Odaily News: Goldman Sachs has disclosed the acquisition of ETF management firm NEOS Investments in a deal valued at up to $2.25 billion, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027 pending regulatory approval. The market views this move as a way for Goldman Sachs to quickly enter the Bitcoin yield ETF space, potentially putting it ahead of BlackRock in the Wall Street crypto asset competition.NEOS currently manages approximately $30 billion in assets, with its most notable product being the Bitcoin yield ETF BTCI (NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF), which holds about $1.1 billion in assets. The fund generates monthly income for investors by holding Bitcoin-related ETFs and selling call options, currently offering a distribution yield of approximately 27%.Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated that by acquiring NEOS, Goldman Sachs gains BTCI, effectively bypassing the need to build a similar product from scratch and "beating" BlackRock's previously launched Bitcoin yield ETF product, BITA.Goldman Sachs' deal is seen by the market as a new phase in Wall Street's crypto asset positioning. Industry insiders believe that Bitcoin spot ETFs represent the "first phase," while active management products based on Bitcoin, such as yield enhancement and options strategies, will become the focus of competition in the next phase.However, BTCI's high yield comes with risks. The product does not directly hold Bitcoin but instead generates returns by selling call options on Bitcoin-related ETFs, potentially sacrificing some upside when the market rallies. Analysts note that BTCI's net asset value has fallen approximately 43% over the past year, and part of its high distribution yield may come from return of capital.BlackRock has already launched a competing product, BITA, but its current scale is approximately $59 million, significantly lower than BTCI's roughly $1.1 billion in assets. The market is watching whether Goldman Sachs will maintain BTCI's existing structure after the acquisition is completed and further expand its competitive advantage in the Bitcoin yield product market.

RWA DeFi Deposits Surpass $3.98 Billion, 6x Growth in One Year
According to Cryptopolitan, data from the on-chain data platform DefiLlama shows that as of August 18, the active deposit size of Real World Assets (RWA) in DeFi protocols has reached $3.98 billion, representing an approximately 6-fold increase compared to $651 million a year ago; three years ago, this figure was only $12 million. The current total issuance of tokenized RWA is $34.55 billion, but the actual on-chain utilization rate is only about 11.5%. Of this, private credit accounts for over half of the active total with $2.13 billion, bonds contribute $799 million, and reinsurance contributes $406 million. In contrast, the utilization rate of tokenized treasury bonds is extremely low—BlackRock BUIDL issuance reaches $2.74 billion, but on-chain deployment is only $18 million, with a utilization rate of only 0.66%; Franklin Templeton BENJI utilization rate is zero. Analysis points out that such products are designed specifically for institutional cash management, where holders pursue treasury yields rather than lending capabilities; tokenization only improves settlement efficiency and does not convert them into collateral.

BlackRock's Tokenized Reserve Fund Receives S&P Global Ratings' Highest Principal Stability Rating
Odaily News S&P Global Ratings on Monday awarded BlackRock's new tokenized money market fund, the BlackRock Daily Reinvestment Stablecoin Reserve Vehicle (BRSRV), an "AAAm" rating, its highest principal stability fund rating. The rating is based on investment and counterparty credit quality, maturity structure, and management's ability to maintain a stable net asset value. S&P Global Ratings stated that it found no weaknesses in BlackRock Advisors' management and organization, credit research and analysis, risk management, or compliance. It also noted that the fund's tokenization framework demonstrates operational resilience, employing a permissioned architecture that restricts transactions to whitelisted wallets to mitigate network, smart contract, and blockchain network risks. BRSRV launched Monday as an open-end management investment company, aiming to make its shares eligible as qualifying reserve assets for payment stablecoin issuers under the GENIUS Act. The fund will hold cash, U.S. Treasuries with maturities of 93 days or less, and overnight repurchase agreements collateralized by Treasury instruments, maintaining a weighted average maturity of no more than 60 days and a weighted average life of no more than 120 days. In a separate stablecoin stability assessment summary published Tuesday, S&P Global Ratings stated that six of the 11 stablecoins it covers possess "sufficient" or stronger capacity to maintain their fiat peg. USDT remains at Level 5 "weak," with TUSD and USDe also at Level 5; USDC, EURC, USDG, and USDP are rated Level 2 "strong."
