Wyoming has issued an executive order to support development of AI data centres and advanced computing facilities, setting a consistent statewide framework for permits, reviews, regulation and support. The order links efforts to attract investment with principles covering water use, environmental sustainability, workforce development and protections for residential electricity consumers. It comes a day after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an order to promote advanced AI technology for national security purposes.

Bitcoin has continued to weaken even as U.S. stock markets rise, raising questions about its recent co-movement with traditional markets. It failed to break the $78,000 resistance level and fell further. Miner selling and a shift of funds into AI data centres and high-performance computing are cited as factors, along with a large transfer by Trump Media & Technology Group. Delays in U.S. crypto legislation and fading liquidity expectations also weigh.
