Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Colin and Matt are back for this week’s news roundup. They touch on Hive’s $85 million, 200 MW acquisition of a Yguazu, Paraguay bitcoin mine from Bitfarms. Plus, Grayscale launches a bitcoin miner ETF, a home-mining device wins a $330,000 bitcoin block for charity, and why the market freaked out over DeepSeek this week. And for this week’s cry corner, why you shouldn't trust Brad Garlinghouse’s call for crypto unity.
