IREN Limited Stock (NASDAQ: IREN) Drops on Dec. 15, 2025 as Wall Street Weighs Microsoft AI Deal Upside vs. Capex and Dilution Risks

Dec. 15, 2025 — IREN Limited stock (NASDAQ: IREN) slid sharply in Monday trading, extending a volatile stretch that has turned the once-quiet Bitcoin miner into one of 2025’s loudest “AI infrastructure” tickers. Shares were recently around $36.22, down about 9.7% on the day after swinging between $40.63 and $35.59 with heavy volume. The pullback is landing right in the middle of an unusually busy news cycle for IREN: a high-profile Microsoft GPU cloud contract, a multi‑billion-dollar refinancing and equity placement, and a growing debate about whether the market is underestimating (or overestimating) just how expensive it is to build

Riot Platforms (RIOT) Stock Drops as Bitcoin Slides on Dec. 15, 2025 — What Today’s Move Means for the AI Data Center Pivot

Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) is getting hit by the classic crypto-equity gravity well on Monday, December 15, 2025: when Bitcoin slips, publicly traded miners often fall harder.

A widely circulated analysis published early Monday argued that quantum computing will likely take years to mature

Point Lepreau Returns to the Grid as New Brunswick’s 500-MW Gas Plant Debate Intensifies on the Chignecto Isthmus

Fredericton and southeastern New Brunswick woke up to two converging energy storylines on December 15, 2025: the province’s only nuclear generating station is back after a long maintenance outage, while the political and local-government fight over a proposed 500-MW gas/diesel plant near Centre Village is escalating—now with Tantramar’s council formally urging the province to hit pause. Together, the developments spotlight a familiar winter concern in Atlantic Canada: how to keep electricity reliable and affordable during peak demand, while also answering harder questions about climate commitments, community consent, and where new generation should—and shouldn’t—be built.

XRP Spot ETFs Near $1 Billion in Inflows as 21Shares Launches TOXR and Funds Outpace Bitcoin, Ether

December 15, 2025 — A new corner of the U.S. crypto ETF market is suddenly stealing the spotlight: spot XRP ETFs. While bitcoin and ether funds have faced choppier flows amid a risk-sensitive macro backdrop, XRP-linked spot products are putting up a steadier scorecard—posting a month-long inflow run that has pushed the category toward the $1 billion mark and lifted combined assets to roughly $1.18 billion.

Applied Digital Corporation stock (NASDAQ: APLD) sank sharply on Monday, December 15, 2025, extending a choppy stretch for one of the market’s most volatile AI-infrastructure plays. Shares traded around $24, down roughly 13% on the day, after swinging between about $23.75 and $28.30 with over 38 million shares changing hands. The move is drawing attention because APLD has been a poster child for the “AI data center buildout” theme—benefiting from big lease headlines and investor enthusiasm about power-hungry AI workloads—yet it’s also the kind of stock that can drop hard when sentiment cools or when investors start demanding receipts instead
