  • New York has implemented a one-year moratorium on new large data centers (50 MW+) impacting crypto mining and AI infrastructure development.
  • This move is driven by concerns over the energy grid, water supply, and air quality, with other states considering similar measures.
  • The moratorium introduces significant regulatory risk for crypto miners and may accelerate the adoption of genuine clean energy solutions.
