The downgrade means France has lost its double-A rating at two of the three major credit assessors in little more than a month, a step that risks compelling some funds with ultra-strict investment criteria to sell the country’s bonds.

Long-ago dubbed miners because of the perceived similarities to the mining of traditional commodities such as gold when creating Bitcoin, the companies have often been at the mercy of the volatile price swings experienced by the token.

Unlike during past cycles, when the miners would rally while Bitcoin was gaining, the companies are now being viewed for what they are becoming: tech infrastructure firms.

The U.S. should grow 2.1% next year, also just one-tenth of a percent faster than its previous projection, the IMF said.

Global economic growth is projected to decelerate to 3.2% this year from 3.3% in 2024 and skid further to 3.1% in 2026, according to a new report from the IMF.
