OVHcloud's Jeffrey Gregor Notes Growing Adoption Among Crypto Firms Due to Data Sovereignty
Jeffrey Gregor, US General Manager of OVHcloud, stated that thousands of blockchain and Web3 companies are turning to the European cloud provider due to its focus on data sovereignty. As AI systems handle more sensitive information, crypto firms increasingly seek control over where their data is stored. OVHcloud emphasizes transparency, user control, and freedom from vendor lock-in—values aligned with those in the cryptocurrency industry. OVHcloud supports staking companies and Web3 applications but prohibits Bitcoin mining due to its high energy consumption. The company has expanded its presence at blockchain events globally and offers low-latency networks without bandwidth charges. Gregor highlighted that OVHcloud retains customers through competitive pricing rather than restrictive data migration costs, distinguishing itself from larger cloud providers. The firm plans to expand AI infrastructure by offering Nvidia B300 GPUs, signaling continued growth in sovereign cloud demand.
