Kevin Hassett says US economy can thrive despite data center slowdown

Kevin Hassett said the US economy can keep growing even if data center buildout slows, arguing that strength outside AI infrastructure can offset a pullback in that spending. The comments push back on the view that the AI capex cycle is now a single point of failure for US growth, a debate that has weighed on technology and crypto-linked infrastructure names. No specific token, chain, TVL, volume or market-cap figures were cited in the remarks. Watch upcoming data center capex guidance from hyperscalers and the next round of US growth data for confirmation of Hassett's thesis.
