CoreWeave’s journey: From cryptocurrency mining to AI infrastructure

CoreWeave, originally focused on Ethereum mining, is now a major player in the AI infrastructure market. The growth follows a decline in GPU demand due to Ethereum’s shift away from proof-of-work, leading miners to redirect resources toward AI applications.

Nvidia’s recent $2 billion investment underscores CoreWeave’s strengthened position in the AI sector. This transition has also been lucrative for companies like HIVE, repurposing mining infrastructure for AI workloads, while facing emerging challenges around energy use and local opposition.
