🔥Hot off the press! Crypto exchange Kraken is eyeing nuclear energy to power its data centers! 🏭 As DeFi booms and demand for services grows, Kraken's CTO Vishnu Patankar reveals they're considering partnering with energy providers for small modular reactors (SMRs).

Kraken's not building its own reactors, but SMRs are appealing as they can be co-located with data centers and aren't constrained by space or weather. 🌦️

With the surge in demand from AI and high-performance computing firms, securing a stable energy supply is crucial. Kraken is exploring nuclear power options in North America and Europe. 🌍

The 24/7 demands of the crypto business and expected mass crypto adoption means Kraken needs a constant energy supply. 🕰️

Kraken's exploration comes as tech companies increasingly seek deals with nuclear operators to power data centers. A nuclear backup means Kraken can operate even amidst major local energy supply disruptions. 💡

Kraken is expecting a DeFi boom and anticipates its energy needs could skyrocket. While wind and solar are weather-dependent, nuclear power could be a more environmentally friendly solution. 🍃
