Canaan’s rally follows its October 14 announcement of a flared gas mining initiative, which sent the stock soaring over 40% that day and another 18% yesterday. The project repurposes waste natural gas for Bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure, signaling a strategic pivot toward sustainable energy and computation.
Meanwhile, broader market sentiment was buoyed by Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s early morning signal of a potential rate cut. This dovish tone lifted multiple asset classes:
- Spot gold (XAUUSD) jumped over 1%, breaking above $4,200/oz to set a new all-time high
- Asian equities rallied across the board, with Korea’s KOSPI Index hitting a fresh record high
With macro tailwinds and sector-specific catalysts in play, crypto equities may continue to attract momentum traders and institutional flows.
