Atomarine, a Y Combinator-backed startup, plans to build standardised offshore barges that house AI data centers, powered by gas at first and nuclear later. The title says it raised a $19M seed round, but public sources do not confirm a funding round or its size. The company argues compute can come online without waiting on land, grid connections or permitting, which have delayed onshore projects. Founder Dimitris Koutentakis leads the company. TechCrunch reported on September 13, 2026, that Atomarine claimed more than $4 billion in letters of intent from customers. These are expressions of interest, not signed contracts or realised revenue. Rival Seatrium has planned a 30MW offshore data center pilot. Atomarine has published no timeline for either power stage.

Pantera Capital wants crypto tokens judged like stocks, president Scott Lawin said at TOKEN2049. The firm built the S&P Pantera Digital Asset Index with S&P Dow Jones Indices, announced on July 21, 2026. The index admits only protocols with positive revenue, verified with on-chain data from Artemis. It launched with 18 constituents, including Hyperliquid, Solana, and Aave, which had more than $3 billion in annualised revenue over the trailing two quarters, according to Pantera. "Fundamentals do ultimately matter to large investors," Lawin said. He called it "the first index that (S&P) have ever co-branded." Bitcoin is not included because it has no protocol revenue. Pantera says a five-year back-test beat S&P's broad crypto index, with or without Bitcoin, though the results are hypothetical.
