Nvidia

Nvidia's latest results and cautious guidance triggered a risk-off move on Feb. 27, pushing Bitcoin lower as traders pared exposure to tech and crypto alike. The selloff underscores how AI-sector shocks can quickly bleed into digital-asset markets.

Nvidia beat expectations with $68 billion in revenue last quarter and guided to $78 billion next quarter, sending its stock sharply higher. The rally spilled into AI-focused crypto tokens and tokenized compute projects tied to GPU demand.

NVIDIA unveiled the Universal Sparse Tensor (UST) framework to standardize sparse data handling across deep learning and scientific computing, aiming to improve performance and interoperability.

Analysts report North Korea is using prohibited Nvidia GPUs to supercharge AI-driven attacks on digital assets, drawing on decades of state-led AI research. The move complicates sanctions enforcement and raises new risks for exchanges and custodians.

Nvidia posted record Q3 revenue, easing fears of an AI bubble and triggering a broad risk-on move that lifted tech shares and major cryptocurrencies.

Over 160,000 traders were liquidated in 24 hours, generating $613 million in losses after Ethereum fell below its 20-day moving average. Panic accelerated when SoftBank sold Nvidia shares, amplifying volatility and putting key ETH supports at risk of breaking toward $3,000.
