Coinbase has reportedly halted a substantial acquisition, while AMD sets ambitious revenue targets in the booming data center market. Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is grappling with internal party challenges.<\/p>\n<h2>Coinbase Calls Off $2 Billion Stablecoin Acquisition<\/h2>\n<p>Cryptocurrency exchange <strong>Coinbase (<a href=\"\/stock\/COIN\">COIN<\/a>)<\/strong> has reportedly terminated its planned <strong>$2 billion<\/strong> acquisition of stablecoin infrastructure startup <strong>BVNK<\/strong>, according to reports from Fortune. The deal, which had progressed to the due diligence stage, would have marked a significant expansion for Coinbase into the rapidly growing stablecoin payments market.<\/p>\n<p>Coinbase had been actively pursuing diversification beyond its core trading fee revenues, with stablecoin-related products already accounting for a notable portion of its income. BVNK, a London-based firm, specializes in providing stablecoin payment and settlement services for institutional clients, a segment Coinbase was keen to penetrate further. Coinbase Ventures was already an investor in BVNK, making the cancellation a notable turn of events for both companies.<\/p>\n<h2>AMD Targets $100 Billion in Data Center Chip Revenue<\/h2>\n<p>Chipmaker <strong>AMD (<a href=\"\/stock\/AMD\">AMD<\/a>)<\/strong> is projecting aggressive growth in its data center segment, with an executive stating expectations for annual data center chip revenue to reach <strong>$100 billion<\/strong> within the next five years. This ambitious target was revealed during the company&#39;s recent Analyst Day.<\/p>\n<p>CEO Lisa Su has previously indicated that the company&#39;s data center AI business alone could generate &quot;tens of billions of US dollars&quot; by 2027, with a potential to exceed <strong>$100 billion in revenue<\/strong> over the next few years, particularly through partnerships like the one with OpenAI for its MI450 series accelerators. AMD sees a <em>clear path<\/em> to securing a double-digit market share in the data center AI market, currently dominated by rivals. The company also estimates the total addressable market for its data center products to surpass <strong>$1 trillion by 2030<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>UK Prime Minister Starmer Faces Internal Leadership Challenge<\/h2>\n<p>In the UK, Prime Minister <strong>Keir Starmer<\/strong> is reportedly preparing to defend his leadership against significant internal opposition from within the Labour Party. Reports indicate that &quot;feral&quot; Labour MPs are challenging his authority.<\/p>\n<p>Starmer is facing a growing rebellion, particularly over proposed welfare reforms, with more than <strong>100 lawmakers<\/strong> reportedly vowing to vote against an amendment that would halt these changes. This internal strife comes amid broader discussions of a potential leadership challenge, with figures like Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham being cited as a possible rival. The Prime Minister&#39;s leadership style and policy decisions are under intense scrutiny as he navigates these challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Coinbase
