PANews reported on November 14th that, according to Spanish media outlet Expansion, the Spanish ACS Group is close to reaching a $26.8 billion (approximately €23 billion) cooperation agreement with BlackRock's Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) for data center development. The agreement includes GIP joining ACS's Digital & Energy division with a 50% stake, comprising €5 billion in incremental capital injections and €18 billion in debt. Amid surging AI computing demand and limited power capacity, digital infrastructure valuations have reached new highs. ACS previously planned to increase the valuation of its data center business to €3 billion to €5 billion by 2030, and this collaboration may push its valuation to the high end of that range. GIP manages over $180 billion in global assets and last month joined Microsoft and Nvidia in a $40 billion acquisition of U.S. data center company Aligned. Morgan Stanley estimates that major technology companies will spend $400 billion on AI infrastructure this year.PANews reported on November 14th that, according to Spanish media outlet Expansion, the Spanish ACS Group is close to reaching a $26.8 billion (approximately €23 billion) cooperation agreement with BlackRock's Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) for data center development.

The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider. Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
