Analysis: Bitcoin’s active supply in loss has surpassed that in profit, historical patterns point to a cyclical bottom.

Jensen Huang’s sudden departure has put Nvidia’s over $500 billion "AI cycle financing machine"—built on equity investments, guarantees, and buybacks—at risk of stalling. Fourteen institutions including Goldman Sachs and UBS have successively cut Nvidia’s price targets, warning that if the company stops channeling funds to clients and suppliers, even temporarily, it could instantly drain over $500 billion in liquidity, equivalent to triggering an "AI version of quantitative tightening." Affected by this, CoreWeave, which relies heavily on Nvidia’s credit endorsement, plunged 11% on the day; the $40 billion loan it is promoting, with Nvidia as the guarantor, faces uncertainty. Over the past three years, Nvidia has effectively acted as the "lender of last resort" for the AI industry. Through a circular logic of buying chips, funding buyers, and backing landlords, it has built a massive portfolio including $99 billion in equity investments, $108.5 billion in guarantees, and $56 billion in repurchase agreements. This model has packaged emerging cloud service providers with low credit quality (such as Neocloud) as investment-grade debtors. Now that its key operator has left, some clients and Wall Street partners have begun demanding to renegotiate terms and increase backstop ratios, meaning credit spreads across the entire downstream industrial chain will widen broadly. Currently, Nvidia’s previously high-profile $500 billion financing platform has been stalled for three months, with no transactions closed yet. On November 17, interim CEO and CFO Colette Kress will host the earnings call. Kress, who tried to rein in high-risk guarantee transactions during the boom period, is now being closely watched by the market: Will the "Nvidia Bank" without Jensen Huang continue operating as usual, or quietly shift to a stock maintenance mode?

Beating AI Express News: Microsoft has officially confirmed that the global service outage lasting over 24 hours has been fully restored. Per the latest announcement, affected products including Microsoft 365 (enterprise and consumer editions), Outlook, Teams, and Copilot have all returned to normal operation. The service status page now shows "All products are operational" and email backlogs have been cleared. The outage began on November 12, impacting more than 70 countries and regions worldwide. Microsoft stated it has fixed the root cause and restored services to remaining affected customers and regions. The tech giant apologized earlier, noting the outage stemmed from a technical issue introduced during an earlier network capacity upgrade (exposed after subsequent network changes), and was unrelated to cyberattacks or AI. It also pledged to release a full post-incident report later.

The organization behind Ethereum Layer 2 network MegaETH, MEGA, has laid off roughly 20% of its workforce. MegaETH co-founder Shuyao Kong said Friday the restructuring affected early-stage employees involved in project development, spanning teams for blockchain, wallets, ecosystem support, and communications, though she did not disclose specific layoff figures or the exact timeline of the cuts. She emphasized that the founding team, early employees, and core engineering team will continue to advance the project. The layoffs come amid MEGA’s organizational restructuring and business transformation. The group is shifting its focus to new products on the MegaETH network, including AI services, and has committed $30 million to push forward related initiatives. However, Kong did not explicitly link the layoffs directly to its AI strategic pivot. Per the whitepaper released by the co-founders, MegaETH plans to launch an AI inference marketplace, which will integrate multiple AI service providers to let users select different models, while addressing issues such as model authenticity and transparency in user data processing. Kong stated that MEGA plans to launch the public version of the AI inference marketplace this December.
