What to know:

- AI-linked crypto tokens surged as Nvidia reinforced its role at the core of the artificial intelligence boom.
Fears of an AI bubble took at least a temporary breather after Nvidia (NVDA) reported an earnings beat as well as a strong fourth quarter outlook after the close of U.S. markets on Wednesday.
The chipmaker topped Wall Street’s expectations for the third quarter, reporting revenue of $57.01 billion — a 62% jump from a year earlier — as the AI investment boom continues to fuel demand for its chips.

"Blackwell sales are off the charts, and cloud GPUs are sold out," said CEO Jensen Huang. "Compute demand keeps accelerating and compounding across training and inference — each growing exponentially."
Shares of the company were higher by 4% in after hours trading at press time.
Data center revenue — arguably the biggest source of income for the firm — landed at $51.2 billion — slightly above analyst forecasts of $49.34 billion.
As for the all-important outlook, NVDA sees fourth quarter revenue of $63.7-$66.3 billion against Street estimates for just $62 billion.
The news for the moment has calmed particularly jittery crypto markets, sending bitcoin back above $90,000 after having nearly fallen through $88,000 earlier Wednesday. AI-focused crypto tokens like , Near Protocol , and all rose 4%-5% following the report.
Also on the move are those bitcoin mining stocks that have pivoted to AI infrastructure. These names have been on big runs higher this year, but brutally battered of late on the general tech/crypto selloff combined with fears of an AI bubble. Among the gainers Wednesday evening: IREN (IREN) up 8%, Cipher Mining (CIFR) up 11% and Hut 8 Mining (HUT) up 6%.
The results reinforce Nvidia’s position at the center of the artificial intelligence supply chain. Its GPUs are critical for training large language models, powering data centers, and running machine-learning workloads across big tech companies.
The firm will hold a conference call at 5pm E.T. as investors are looking for reassurance that the company’s massive bets on AI infrastructure, software tools and next-generation chips are translating into lasting revenue.

BlackRock's digital assets head: Leverage-driven volatility threatens bitcoin’s narrative
Rampant speculation on crypto derivatives platforms is fueling volatility and risking bitcoin’s image as a stable hedge, says BlackRock’s digital assets chief.
Ce qu'il:
- BlackRock digital-assets chief Robert Mitchnick warned that heavy use of leverage in bitcoin derivatives is undermining the cryptocurrency’s appeal as a stable institutional portfolio hedge.
- Mitchnick said bitcoin’s fundamentals as a scarce, decentralized monetary asset remain strong, but its trading increasingly resembles a "levered NASDAQ," raising the bar for conservative investors to adopt it.
- He argued that exchange-traded funds like BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF are not the main source of volatility, pointing instead to perpetual futures platforms.
