<div class="bn-block-group" data-node-type="blockGroup"><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="78c88867-b7d1-4190-896a-fd0780f89291"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="78c88867-b7d1-4190-896a-fd0780f89291"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">DeepSeek is advancing its in-house AI chip plan, with the goal of reducing reliance on external chip suppliers such as Nvidia. Taken in isolation, this is not a development significant enough to change Nvidia’s near-term fundamentals. Designing, taping out, validating and eventually deploying an in-house chip at scale is a long, difficult process with a high failure rate. Moreover, DeepSeek’s scale, financial resources and supply-chain control are not comparable to those of U.S. tech giants such as Microsoft, Meta, Google and Amazon. Therefore, interpreting this news simply as “DeepSeek replacing Nvidia” would likely overstate the short-term impact.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="80e296d7-f1b2-48a4-ad83-d7f79e622699"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="80e296d7-f1b2-48a4-ad83-d7f79e622699"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The significance of DeepSeek lies in the fact that it is not an isolated case, but the latest example of a broader shift taking place across the AI supply chain. Over the past two years, the core narrative behind the AI trade has been compute scarcity: large-model companies needed to train bigger models, cloud providers needed to expand data centers, enterprise customers needed access to AI services, and almost all of that demand ultimately pointed to Nvidia’s GPUs, networking equipment and software ecosystem. Because of this supply-demand imbalance, Nvidia has not only sold more chips, but also gained exceptionally strong pricing power and margins far above those typically seen in traditional semiconductor cycles.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="f428b59a-3812-4ed2-bd22-46b5d38e6a89"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="f428b59a-3812-4ed2-bd22-46b5d38e6a89"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">Now, as more large-model companies and cloud providers move forward with in-house AI chips, the market is starting to reassess how long this logic can continue. Microsoft, Meta, Google and Amazon have already been investing in custom chips for years. The goal is not simply to “move away from Nvidia,” but more practically to lower data-center costs, optimize specific AI workloads and reduce dependence on a single supplier. DeepSeek’s entry extends this trend from U.S. cloud providers to Chinese large-model companies, further increasing market sensitivity toward a restructuring of the AI compute supply chain.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="6012371b-8bd6-4e3e-bcfd-7230d34d1f46"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="6012371b-8bd6-4e3e-bcfd-7230d34d1f46"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">For Nvidia, the most important near-term variable remains demand, not substitution. As long as large-model training, inference deployment and data-center expansion continue to grow, it is difficult to see Nvidia’s orders and revenue meaningfully reversing because of one customer’s in-house chip effort. Nvidia still has clear advantages in high-end training, GPU cluster interconnects, the CUDA ecosystem, full-system solutions and software toolchains. Even if customer-built chips succeed, they usually start with specific internal use cases, such as inference, recommendation systems, search, advertising or selected model services. They are unlikely to quickly replace Nvidia’s full product stack.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="b9f30e82-3772-48b5-8775-8268574f2a11"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="b9f30e82-3772-48b5-8775-8268574f2a11"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The issue is that the stock market often trades not on current-quarter orders, but on the profit margins and growth curve of the next several years. Over the past two years, Nvidia benefited from a “scarce asset” valuation: customers had to buy, there were few short-term alternatives, supply could not keep up with demand, and pricing and margins naturally stayed high. Once in-house chips become an industry consensus, the market will begin to price in another possibility: even if Nvidia remains the core supplier in the AI compute market, its bargaining power may gradually decline.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="9c0d6916-d636-445f-9798-c015c8eae427"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="9c0d6916-d636-445f-9798-c015c8eae427"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">This pressure may not show up as revenue decline. It is more likely to appear first in margin expectations. Large cloud providers are buying Nvidia GPUs while also developing ASICs or specialized AI chips, which essentially increases their negotiating leverage. In the future, if supply is no longer extremely tight and customers’ internal chips begin to handle part of the workload, Nvidia may need to rely on more complete system solutions, more flexible pricing, stronger software lock-in and faster product iteration to maintain share. Continued revenue growth and continued margin expansion may no longer be able to coexist as easily as they did over the past two years.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="057d21c3-ee80-4b31-9c8c-bd530a00547f"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="057d21c3-ee80-4b31-9c8c-bd530a00547f"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">This is also why AI-related stocks have been so volatile recently. The market does not lack AI stories; what it lacks is confidence in valuations. Previously, as long as AI capital expenditure expectations kept rising, Nvidia, semiconductor equipment, advanced packaging, HBM, data-center power and server supply chains could all enjoy a broad re-rating. Now, investors are asking a different question: where will this capital expenditure eventually translate into revenue, who will capture the profits, and who will bear the costs? If large-model companies can lower inference costs through in-house chips, that may support the long-term expansion of AI applications, but it does not necessarily continue to benefit the profit margins of all hardware suppliers.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="cf3d1397-34df-4f8d-a728-1aece06f87a3"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="cf3d1397-34df-4f8d-a728-1aece06f87a3"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">From a supply-chain perspective, the in-house chip trend will not simply weaken the entire AI hardware sector. Instead, it will drive further internal divergence. For Nvidia, the question is whether its high margins can be sustained. Broadcom, Marvell and other ASIC design and custom-chip supply chains may benefit from the custom silicon trend among cloud providers. TSMC, advanced packaging and HBM suppliers may still benefit from more diversified chip architectures and the associated demand for foundry and memory capacity. Server, power and cooling supply chains will depend on whether overall data-center construction continues to expand. In other words, the AI hardware trade will not end because of in-house chips, but it will shift from “buying the entire compute chain” to selecting the segments that truly benefit.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="5668cb92-71ad-422b-97d7-94863d090824"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="5668cb92-71ad-422b-97d7-94863d090824"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">For major customers such as Microsoft, Meta, Google and Amazon, the strategic value of in-house chips lies mainly in cost control. AI investment has entered a more realistic stage: the market no longer rewards only those who spend the most, but increasingly demands evidence of return on investment. Training large models, deploying inference services and expanding data centers all require massive capital expenditure. If AI product revenue cannot quickly cover these costs, shareholders will eventually question the return on this investment cycle. In-house chips have therefore become a tool for big tech companies to control long-term costs, as well as a constraint on the pricing power of external suppliers.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="280fda26-7cf7-4f70-9fb3-66aa84f4e70d"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="280fda26-7cf7-4f70-9fb3-66aa84f4e70d"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">DeepSeek’s special significance is that it reinforces the “low-cost AI” narrative. DeepSeek previously led the market to reassess the cost of model training and inference, which at the time caused a clear shock to Nvidia’s share price. Now that reports of an in-house chip plan have emerged, the market will naturally connect the two: if model capability improvements no longer depend entirely on stacking the most expensive GPUs, and if inference costs can continue to fall through model optimization and in-house chips, then profit distribution across the AI supply chain may change. This logic has limited impact on Nvidia’s near-term earnings, but it does put pressure on the upside of its valuation narrative.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="500e2bdf-a5e9-46a3-86ac-018b5255eba8"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="500e2bdf-a5e9-46a3-86ac-018b5255eba8"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">That said, the in-house chip trend should not be simplistically interpreted as proof that Nvidia has reached an inflection point. Historically, custom chips developed by large technology companies have not meant that external chip suppliers immediately lose the market. More often, in-house chips take on part of the standardized, scaled and internally controllable workloads, while high-performance, general-purpose and rapidly evolving workloads still rely on leading external suppliers. As long as AI models continue to grow, inference demand continues to expand and data centers continue to scale, Nvidia will remain at the core of AI infrastructure.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="c1f8d630-2800-4560-a023-1cf9cb669624"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="c1f8d630-2800-4560-a023-1cf9cb669624"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The real risk lies in a change to the valuation structure. Previously, Nvidia’s valuation was supported by high growth, high visibility and high margins all at once. If the market begins to believe that high growth remains intact but margins may have peaked, the stock’s trading elasticity will decline. For a high-valuation leader, the most dangerous factor is not one customer developing an in-house chip, but more and more customers moving in the same direction. A single project may fail, but an industry trend can change how the market prices the long-term competitive landscape.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="e7444d80-2f7f-44a3-980c-16ebb4875602"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="e7444d80-2f7f-44a3-980c-16ebb4875602"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">Therefore, the impact of this news is not about making a simple judgment that it is “negative for Nvidia and positive for other chip stocks.” Rather, it suggests that the AI trade has entered its second phase. The first phase was about compute scarcity and supply bottlenecks, with Nvidia as the most obvious beneficiary. The second phase is about cost reduction, customer bargaining power, chip customization and margin redistribution. The market will continue to chase AI, but it will no longer be willing to assign higher valuations to all AI hardware assets unconditionally.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="8ffd3764-c646-4fd2-9b58-bbccd8708841"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="8ffd3764-c646-4fd2-9b58-bbccd8708841"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">Going forward, the key drivers of the market will not be the progress of DeepSeek’s individual chip project, but several more important validation points: whether Nvidia’s data-center revenue continues to beat expectations; whether its margin guidance remains stable; whether cloud-provider capital expenditure continues to rise or begins to emphasize investment efficiency; whether ASIC and custom-chip orders accelerate; whether HBM, advanced packaging and foundry demand remain tight; and whether AI application revenue can justify continued expansion in compute spending. If these indicators remain strong, DeepSeek’s in-house chip effort will be more of a sentiment shock. If several of them weaken at the same time, the in-house chip wave could become a core narrative weighing on AI hardware valuations.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="48391d8f-ef65-4c06-b6d5-262dd9805473"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="48391d8f-ef65-4c06-b6d5-262dd9805473"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">Overall, DeepSeek’s in-house chip plan is not evidence of a reversal in Nvidia’s fundamentals, but it is a signal that AI supply-chain margins are being repriced. The AI trade is not over, but it is becoming more complex: from “who controls the scarcest GPUs” to “who can preserve profits as compute costs decline.” For Nvidia, the growth story remains intact, but the sustainability of its high margins will face more scrutiny. For the broader AI sector, this means the market is likely to move from broad-based valuation expansion into a more differentiated phase driven by earnings delivery, cost control and supply-chain positioning.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="e7373a6d-d07e-4c75-8c52-34aa61ed6d53"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="e7373a6d-d07e-4c75-8c52-34aa61ed6d53"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content"></p></div></div></div></div>

The Rise of In-House AI Chips: Nvidia’s Issue Is Not Orders, but Margin Expectations

L’essor des puces IA internes : le problème de Nvidia ne réside pas dans les commandes, mais dans les attentes en matière de marge

Each time Strategy disclosed a new purchase, the Bitcoin market treated it as confirmation of structural demand. Each time MSTR traded at a premium to its Bitcoin net asset value, the company could return to capital markets, raise more capital, buy more BTC, and reinforce the same narrative.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="12b94090-3e6b-491c-bb5c-4a5f2b53f1e1"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="12b94090-3e6b-491c-bb5c-4a5f2b53f1e1"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">Over the past week, however, the market saw a very different side of the company. Strategy reduced its holdings by 3,588 BTC, bringing total holdings down to 843,775 BTC. Michael Saylor later said the cash was used for the second-quarter dividends on $STRF, $STRE, $STRK and $STRD, as well as the full June monthly dividend on $STRC. In other words, this sale was not simply an asset rebalancing exercise. It was a signal that Strategy’s increasingly large capital structure is beginning to feed back into its Bitcoin holdings.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="ef5491f3-7006-4849-9fbf-bf756f34284a"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="ef5491f3-7006-4849-9fbf-bf756f34284a"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The more important point is that this was not an isolated event. Strategy had already sold BTC once in late May. In late June, the company’s board approved a series of new measures, including a dollar reserve policy, preferred stock dividend policy, preferred and common stock repurchase authorizations, and a BTC monetization plan. Strategy used to be the most stable and symbolic BTC buyer in the market. Now, it is starting to operate with an increasingly visible cash payment schedule.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="222e79cb-3e35-4505-bc6a-2cbccb760a9e"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="222e79cb-3e35-4505-bc6a-2cbccb760a9e"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">This means Strategy’s business model is shifting from a one-way flywheel of continuous BTC accumulation to a balance-sheet structure in which BTC is used to support a complex capital stack.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="efa8a9a1-c0e4-434a-865f-31dc5f6bb502"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="efa8a9a1-c0e4-434a-865f-31dc5f6bb502"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The old positive loop depended on three conditions: BTC price appreciation, MSTR trading at a premium to its BTC net asset value, and capital markets remaining willing to provide Strategy with low-cost funding. As long as those three conditions held, the company could issue common stock, convertible debt or preferred stock, use the proceeds to buy more BTC, and strengthen the market’s perception of MSTR as a leveraged BTC vehicle. That, in turn, supported the stock price and the company’s financing capacity.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="3f8c177e-9e89-45ee-9199-ee03e9f92f03"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="3f8c177e-9e89-45ee-9199-ee03e9f92f03"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The problem is that this flywheel is highly sensitive to market conditions. When BTC falls, MSTR’s premium contracts and preferred shares come under pressure, Strategy’s cost of capital rises. At the same time, the company still needs to pay preferred dividends and debt interest on schedule, while maintaining a certain level of dollar reserves. Cash obligations do not disappear when BTC falls. They become more prominent when capital-market access narrows.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="3314fc2a-3a66-47ee-b7b6-dd2ffe22ba0a"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="3314fc2a-3a66-47ee-b7b6-dd2ffe22ba0a"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">That is Strategy’s current dilemma: its asset side is highly concentrated in BTC, while its liability side and quasi-liability structure are becoming increasingly institutionalized, securitized and periodic. BTC does not generate cash flow, but preferred shares and debt come with fixed payment schedules. BTC can be held for the long term, but dividends and interest must be paid on time. BTC’s balance-sheet value fluctuates sharply with the market, while the company’s cash obligations are rigid.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="def53302-e3c0-40da-814a-9e49e964fd1c"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="def53302-e3c0-40da-814a-9e49e964fd1c"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">As a result, the market significance of this sale goes beyond the absolute size of 3,588 BTC. Relative to Strategy’s total holdings of more than 840,000 BTC, the amount is not large. The real issue is the change in role: the market used to see Strategy as a potential buyer on BTC drawdowns. Now, it has started to become a holder that may release supply at specific points in time.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="04cd6466-d44e-4e7c-93a7-f36773957f09"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="04cd6466-d44e-4e7c-93a7-f36773957f09"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The largest buyer has become a seller with a timetable.

Previously, the stock was more easily traded as a high-beta BTC proxy. Investors were buying BTC upside, the Saylor narrative, and the company’s capital-market financing capacity. At this stage, however, MSTR can no longer be explained by BTC price alone. It now embeds BTC exposure, preferred dividend pressure, dollar reserve levels, financing access, potential dilution, buyback arrangements and expectations around BTC monetization.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="ff0dbada-63f4-4b39-a2a2-7ec97c83f291"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="ff0dbada-63f4-4b39-a2a2-7ec97c83f291"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">This will make trading MSTR more complicated. When BTC rises, MSTR can still deliver stronger upside, as the market may again price in a recovery in financing capacity, a wider mNAV premium, and a possible return to the accumulation cycle. But when BTC falls, MSTR’s pressure may also be amplified, because investors will not only worry about the BTC price drawdown itself, but also whether the company needs to keep selling BTC to meet cash obligations. They may also start to price in the risk of a negative feedback loop across the capital structure.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="f50e5769-c357-4533-8572-c77d44b78494"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="f50e5769-c357-4533-8572-c77d44b78494"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The path of that negative feedback is not difficult to understand. A BTC decline reduces MSTR’s net asset value, causing its premium to compress or even turn into a discount. That lowers the appeal of common-stock issuance. Meanwhile, falling preferred share prices and rising yields push up the company’s cost of capital. If dollar reserves are not enough to cover future obligations, the company may need to continue selling BTC. Once the market begins to anticipate this behavior, MSTR’s discount pressure and BTC’s supply pressure may reinforce each other.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="e47d5e38-02c5-4e5a-a791-135fd4a0f12e"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="e47d5e38-02c5-4e5a-a791-135fd4a0f12e"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">For BTC, Strategy’s sale is not yet a decisive supply shock, but it has become a sentiment and structural disturbance. A sale of 3,588 BTC is not enough to change the long-term supply-demand balance of the global BTC market, especially when spot ETFs, macro liquidity and institutional allocation remain the dominant drivers. Strategy’s weekly sale is more of a marginal variable. Still, the BTC market is highly dependent on narratives and expectations. When the most representative corporate buyer starts selling BTC to service the cost of its capital structure, the market will naturally place less faith in the idea of Strategy as a permanent source of demand.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="34bc2bd7-ad37-4079-9648-983d812e9d11"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="34bc2bd7-ad37-4079-9648-983d812e9d11"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The impact on ordinary traders is direct.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="7adb0193-5705-4af1-8f1a-927939f1cd31"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="7adb0193-5705-4af1-8f1a-927939f1cd31"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">For BTC traders, Strategy needs to be watched as a potential source of supply during rallies rather than simply as a sentiment backstop. In the short term, each disclosure of BTC sales, dollar reserve replenishment or preferred dividend payment may weaken confidence in the durability of BTC rebounds. Over the medium to long term, however, BTC’s core pricing will still depend on macro liquidity, ETF inflows, risk appetite and on-chain supply-demand conditions. Strategy’s influence is more likely to be a localized disturbance than a trend-defining force.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="15248197-ab5c-4221-b5ac-ece4a3db7e0c"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="15248197-ab5c-4221-b5ac-ece4a3db7e0c"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">For MSTR traders, the stock should be reclassified from a simple leveraged BTC play into a BTC asset vehicle with credit constraints.

But during periods of BTC weakness, tighter financing conditions and pressure on preferred shares, MSTR’s downside risk may be meaningfully higher than that of BTC itself. Trading MSTR now requires more than a view on BTC direction. It also requires a view on Strategy’s financing capacity, cash coverage and whether capital markets are still willing to support its structure.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="042dff85-ce0a-4246-a2af-a3e1725b8912"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="042dff85-ce0a-4246-a2af-a3e1725b8912"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">For investors focused on Strategy’s preferred shares, the analysis should be closer to credit than equity.

Nonfarm payrolls rose by only 57,000, well below market expectations, while April and May were revised down by a combined 74,000, suggesting labor demand over the past two months was not as strong as the initial readings implied. The unemployment rate edged down from 4.3% to 4.2%, but the labor force participation rate fell to 61.8%, meaning a contraction in labor supply mechanically depressed the jobless rate and weakened its standalone signaling value. According to BLS data, June job gains were mainly concentrated in professional and business services, social assistance, and health care, while leisure and hospitality employment declined noticeably. Manufacturing and construction only recovered modestly. Overall, the report points to a resilient labor market that is cooling gradually, not one that is reaccelerating.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="5756541a-bc73-47f2-8098-df87ec216582"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="5756541a-bc73-47f2-8098-df87ec216582"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The most direct implication for the Fed is that the report lowers the need for an immediate rate hike, while failing to fully eliminate the tail risk of another move later this year. Warsh’s message after the June FOMC meeting was fairly clear: the Fed will reduce reliance on forward guidance, limit the market’s dependence on the dot plot and policy hints, and push the reaction function back toward inflation, employment, and financial conditions themselves. More recently, at the ECB forum, he acknowledged that inflation risks had eased somewhat, but refused to rule out further rate hikes, suggesting the current policy function remains biased toward inflation control. In other words, as long as inflation does not decline consistently, the Fed has little incentive to reopen the rate-cut discussion. At the same time, softer payroll growth, downward revisions, and lower participation have also raised the bar for an immediate hike in July or September.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="ea2fa009-04f1-49b6-b198-3ff5741641e7"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="ea2fa009-04f1-49b6-b198-3ff5741641e7"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">From a market-pricing perspective, traders began reducing bets on another rate hike after the payrolls release. On Polymarket, the probability of an October hike fell from 37% to 28%, while the probability of a December hike declined from 55% to 47%. This suggests the market has not fully ruled out another hike this year, but it no longer treats one as the near-term base case. The employment data carry a nuanced message: slower job growth and downward revisions reduce the need for an immediate hike, but the unemployment rate remains low and the labor market has not visibly cracked, which is also insufficient for markets to reprice toward rate cuts. Policy expectations have therefore moved into a phase of waiting for inflation confirmation.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="8db50313-4170-442f-875d-15e92e11cf5d"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="8db50313-4170-442f-875d-15e92e11cf5d"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">As a result, whether the U.S. hikes again this year depends less on employment and more on the next two to three inflation reports. If June and July CPI and core PCE continue to ease, especially if energy shocks and AI data-center-related electricity and equipment cost pressures do not spread further, the Fed is likely to keep rates unchanged and use the previously hawkish dot plot as a communication tool to anchor inflation expectations. If inflation reaccelerates while wage growth remains resilient, October or December could again become live hike windows. The more reasonable base case for now is that the economy does not support a sustained hiking cycle this year, while the probability of a single “insurance-style” hike has declined but not disappeared. For traders, the key is not to bet on a static conclusion, but to watch whether inflation data can keep pushing market-implied hike probabilities lower.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="2615d8f5-2ff8-4b65-9180-edc912b6d505"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="2615d8f5-2ff8-4b65-9180-edc912b6d505"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">For crypto markets, the payrolls report is modestly supportive of risk assets in the short term, because it weakens the pressure for an immediate hike without triggering a recession trade. Highly liquid assets such as BTC and ETH are most vulnerable to two macro combinations: strong employment combined with sticky inflation, which lifts real rates and the dollar; or a sharp deterioration in employment, which forces risk-asset deleveraging. Current data sit between those two extremes, helping crypto assets maintain a rebound window. But this support is more about valuations and liquidity expectations than a standalone driver of trend. If inflation continues to ease and ETF flows turn positive again, BTC could benefit further from expectations of lower real rates. If inflation rebounds and October hike odds rise again, crypto markets would likely come under pressure first, with altcoins and highly leveraged on-chain assets more vulnerable than BTC.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="93f9d254-fb1a-4229-bf85-cbd202c9dfbe"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="93f9d254-fb1a-4229-bf85-cbd202c9dfbe"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">From a trading perspective, crypto investors should focus on three signals. First, whether Polymarket and rates futures continue to price down October and December hike odds. Second, whether BTC and ETH ETFs move from one-day stabilization to sustained net inflows. Third, whether the dollar index and 10-year real yields fall together. Only when these three signals align will crypto have the conditions to shift from a rebound into a broader trend recovery. If rate-hike odds merely fall temporarily while ETF flows fail to follow, BTC is more likely to remain range-bound, while higher-beta assets such as HYPE, SOL, and XRP will show stronger event-driven dispersion.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="c1dd175a-a4b3-42e1-a2f0-a2b4de6d498b"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="c1dd175a-a4b3-42e1-a2f0-a2b4de6d498b"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">For U.S. equities, weaker-than-expected payrolls provide short-term support for the AI trade. The AI sector is facing three main pressures this year: valuation, capital expenditure, and interest rates. Rising rate expectations compress long-duration growth valuations; doubts over AI capex returns amplify stock-level divergence; and slower employment could eventually weigh on enterprise IT budgets. This payrolls mix temporarily eases the first pressure, as lower discount-rate stress gives the Nasdaq and semiconductor stocks room to rebound. Softer labor data improved risk appetite and supported technology shares, which is consistent with the post-payrolls market reaction.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="1a4cef3f-8acf-4c12-9269-3270ee0fe5e8"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="1a4cef3f-8acf-4c12-9269-3270ee0fe5e8"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">However, AI stocks should not be interpreted as an across-the-board beneficiary of lower hike odds. The AI trade has already moved from its first phase of aggregate compute-demand expansion into a second phase of return-on-investment verification. Hardware names such as Nvidia, Broadcom, TSMC, and Micron still benefit from cloud capex, but investors will scrutinize order sustainability, peak margins, customer concentration, and inventory risk more aggressively. Platform companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Google, and Amazon face a two-sided repricing: lower rate expectations support valuations, but the larger their AI investment becomes, the more the market will demand clear returns from advertising, cloud revenue, and enterprise AI adoption. The jobs report can relieve macro valuation pressure, but it cannot replace fundamental validation.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="52922472-14de-4929-8c68-350319df1cec"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="52922472-14de-4929-8c68-350319df1cec"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">Overall, the best trading framework is that risk assets can continue to repair, but investors should avoid chasing indiscriminate beta. In crypto, the preference should be for BTC, ETH, and assets with clear flow or product catalysts, while reducing exposure to highly leveraged and low-liquidity altcoins. In U.S. AI equities, the preference should be for leaders with high earnings visibility, strong order quality, and cash flows capable of supporting capex, while treating second-tier AI names that rely mainly on narrative expansion more cautiously. If inflation continues to cool, hike odds could fall further, allowing BTC, ETH, the Nasdaq, and semiconductor leaders to extend their recovery. If inflation reaccelerates, the market will quickly shift from “cooling jobs are good for risk assets” to “the Fed may be forced to tighten,” with high-valuation AI stocks and high-beta crypto assets likely to face the fastest de-risking.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="3dba389e-000c-4a5e-bdf7-775a3bc76e2e"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="3dba389e-000c-4a5e-bdf7-775a3bc76e2e"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The bottom line is that the June payrolls report reduced the urgency of another rate hike this year, but it did not close the hike window. From a trading perspective, it should be treated as a period of relief for risk assets, not confirmation of a full policy pivot. The next phase of market direction will depend on whether inflation can continue to decline and whether confidence in Warsh’s hawkish framework continues to erode.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="6f15d650-e6af-4813-bd97-9083aead80c8"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="6f15d650-e6af-4813-bd97-9083aead80c8"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content"></p></div></div></div></div>

On the same day, the foundation confirmed layoffs of 54 people, roughly 20% of its total headcount. This marks the ninth senior-level departure from the foundation since January. Former co-executive director Tomasz Stańczak stepped down in February, while another co-executive director, Hsiao-Wei Wang, resigned this month after taking leave. On the surface, this looks like a round of crisis-driven layoffs. But viewed together with the foundation’s Treasury Management Policy published last year, it looks more like a pre-planned balance sheet restructuring.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="2f87d890-c87f-4364-af30-aa7569b75a90"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="2f87d890-c87f-4364-af30-aa7569b75a90"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The picture becomes much clearer if EF is viewed as an endowment managing crypto-native assets. In the past, the foundation consumed about 15% of its remaining funds each year. Such a drawdown rate would be considered aggressive in the framework of university endowments or sovereign funds. Mature perpetual funds typically keep their annualized spending rate in the 4%-5% range to ensure capital can operate across multiple cycles. Buterin’s target is to reduce that ratio to around 5% before 2030. This is not merely cost-cutting. It is an attempt to transform EF from a “consumption-based” project-funding institution into one that can exist indefinitely — in essence, a redefinition of its duration risk.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="607c6e3f-8539-46df-82f1-787bc6fd943c"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="607c6e3f-8539-46df-82f1-787bc6fd943c"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The spending contraction is taking place across several fronts. The first is a paradigm shift in security strategy. Ethereum previously relied on multi-client redundancy to mitigate risk: as long as no single client’s failure rate exceeded 33%, the network could continue producing blocks and reaching finality. The foundation is now moving toward greater reliance on AI-assisted formal verification, shifting clients from “mutual backups” to “specialized division of labor.” In essence, it is using automated verification to replace human redundancy and lower maintenance costs. Second, PSE, the team focused on zero-knowledge proof research under Privacy and Scaling Explorations, has been dissolved as an independent unit. That means this budget is moving from pure “exploration” toward “implementation” directly embedded in the protocol layer and access layer — closer to the corporate logic of shifting basic research budgets into product engineering. Third, Devcon continues to shrink in scale. Buterin has begun personally funding “beyond Ethereum” projects that were previously led by the foundation, while institutional partnerships have also narrowed toward a small number of replicable CROPS-friendly pilots — censorship resistance, resilience, openness, privacy and security. This is a classic case of SG&amp;A deleveraging.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="a4331d22-aa2e-4609-be09-f97a1937ff68"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="a4331d22-aa2e-4609-be09-f97a1937ff68"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The restructuring is happening against an unfriendly market backdrop. ETH is hovering around $1,600, down more than 60% from its August 2025 high of nearly $4,956. Its performance has clearly lagged most major crypto assets and exceeded Bitcoin’s roughly 48% drawdown over the same period. More importantly, the Client Incentive Program, which expired in April, had previously provided annual funding to independent client teams such as Geth, Erigon and Lighthouse. Former EF contributor Trenton Van Epps previously estimated that maintaining the existing core development ecosystem requires about $30 million a year, while EF’s budget contraction makes it difficult for the foundation itself to fully cover that gap. The market response came almost simultaneously: on June 22, Ethlabs officially launched, led by several former senior EF researchers and funded by BitMine, SharpLink and Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin. The project focuses on institutional-grade settlement, native asset issuance and cross-chain infrastructure. This creates a structural complement to EF’s contraction: as the foundation steps back from parts of its “growth investment” role, private capital and ecosystem organizations are beginning to absorb the R&amp;D and funding functions being released. The dynamic resembles a mature company spinning off high-risk growth businesses into independently financed platforms while returning its own focus to conservative balance sheet management.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="ce4cc347-6ed6-4962-88e1-34daeb5cadcf"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="ce4cc347-6ed6-4962-88e1-34daeb5cadcf"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">Looking further ahead, Buterin’s endgame can be understood as a “soft lean-out.” Strawmap, part of Ethereum’s protocol roadmap, covers multiple core areas including consensus, proof systems, privacy and account models. It is viewed as an important upgrade package for Ethereum’s next protocol phase after the PoW era and The Merge. Once this roadmap is gradually completed, the foundation may significantly raise the threshold for launching new features. Its governance style could also shift away from high-intensity, broad-based R&amp;D expansion toward a model that places greater emphasis on security, convergence and long-term maintenance. In other words, Ethereum’s development curve is moving away from that of a growth-stage technology company with sustained high R&amp;D spending, and gradually toward a governance path closer to that of a sovereign monetary network.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="be043b6f-12ad-464b-8397-7e6883548619"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="be043b6f-12ad-464b-8397-7e6883548619"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko interpreted the move as positive, arguing that budget constraints will force focus, and that a smaller, leaner foundation can respond and correct mistakes faster. But the risks are equally real: the talent outflow has not yet stopped, there is still no clear solution to the client incentive funding gap, and whether new organizations such as Ethlabs can shoulder the R&amp;D responsibilities previously carried by EF remains an untested assumption. Ultimately, this “balance sheet reduction” is not testing how much money the foundation still has. It is testing whether the entire ecosystem can complete a transition from dependence on capital injections from a single foundation to a diversified supply of market capital — and that is the real variable that will determine Ethereum’s next narrative and valuation.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="69dca9f2-fd27-4690-bf5d-6300d6ede13d"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="69dca9f2-fd27-4690-bf5d-6300d6ede13d"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content"></p></div></div></div></div>

Ethereum Foundation “Balance Sheet Reduction”: Restructuring from 15% to 5%

"Réduction du bilan" de la Fondation Ethereum : restructuration de 15 % à 5 %

<div class="bn-block-group" data-node-type="blockGroup"><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="5990badb-11df-4a1f-9faa-ba15cfc2a5cf"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="5990badb-11df-4a1f-9faa-ba15cfc2a5cf"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">On June 23, South Korea’s capital market delivered a rare circuit-breaker event, reminding global investors to reassess the more fragile side of the AI trade. The KOSPI triggered a circuit breaker during the session, halting trading for 20 minutes. Selling pressure showed little sign of easing after trading resumed, and the index ultimately closed down 9.99% at 8,203.84, marking its steepest one-day decline since March. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, the two heavyweight constituents, both fell more than 12%, becoming the main drag on the benchmark. Just one trading day earlier, the KOSPI had broken above the 9,100 level, with market sentiment still elevated and the optimism driven by semiconductor leaders yet to fade.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="f140b5c0-8f3c-4d45-9f83-bdf64ea112e6"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="f140b5c0-8f3c-4d45-9f83-bdf64ea112e6"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">This was not an isolated event. Since June, South Korea’s market has repeatedly triggered circuit breakers or sell-side Sidecar mechanisms. The underlying cause has been broadly similar: the semiconductor sector carries excessive index weight, meaning any marginal change in expectations around major customers’ capital expenditure, HBM procurement schedules or AI-chip production plans can be rapidly amplified through heavyweight stocks into the broader index. Previous corrections were linked to Broadcom’s weaker-than-expected guidance, shifts in U.S. rate expectations and concerns over AI-chip demand. The June 23 selloff, meanwhile, reflected a market reassessment of the Vera Rubin platform’s production timetable, the HBM4 supply path and the certainty of SK Hynix’s capacity expansion. The structural features of South Korea’s semiconductor supply chain were laid bare: the Korean equity market is highly dependent on Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, the country’s two domestic memory-chip giants, while the valuation and earnings expectations of both companies are largely tied to the AI capex cycle of Nvidia and North American cloud providers. Bargaining power across the supply chain, order visibility from key customers and the pace of technology migration together mean that Korean equities often swing more sharply than short-term changes in fundamentals alone would imply.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="212b8543-8d7c-4f7a-9a37-ecfc7d25ad1e"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="212b8543-8d7c-4f7a-9a37-ecfc7d25ad1e"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The force behind this amplification is South Korea’s distinctive retail-investor structure. The Korean market has long been characterized by mass retail participation, with tens of millions of individual investors acting as a major source of market liquidity. Data from Korea’s securities registration institutions show annual securities transaction tax revenue of about 6.6 trillion won, roughly 75% of which comes from retail investors. This structure magnifies upside in bull markets and downside in corrections. From mid-May to early June, forced liquidations in the Korean market rose significantly, with some statistical measures showing margin-call liquidations reaching hundreds of billions of won within just several days. More importantly, the clearing of leveraged positions has not meaningfully cooled retail sentiment. The market has continued to show a pattern of “buying more as prices fall” and using borrowed money to enter the market: some investors were forced out after margin calls, while new leveraged funds kept flowing in to chase rebounds. When pension funds and other institutional investors turned net sellers for a period, the marginal bid previously supported by retail and leveraged capital quickly weakened. Goldman Sachs and other institutions later noted that the recent rally in Korean equities had been driven more by technical and liquidity factors than by fresh fundamental buying.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="95893f29-feb0-4628-9d49-ec1748214fdd"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="95893f29-feb0-4628-9d49-ec1748214fdd"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">Political uncertainty has further added to market fragility. After taking office, the Lee Jae-myung administration proposed a tax-reform package that included lowering the threshold for individual shareholders subject to capital-gains tax from 5 billion won to 1 billion won, raising the securities transaction tax from 0.15% to 0.2%, and increasing the top corporate tax rate from 24% to 25%. The proposal triggered petitions from retail investors and political controversy, and Korean equities at one point sold off sharply. The government subsequently signaled some willingness to soften certain details and left the issue for further discussion in the National Assembly. Yet the unresolved policy status itself remains a source of risk. For the market, expectations that major shareholders may reduce holdings before year-end to avoid tax liabilities, combined with the heavy dependence of securities transaction tax revenue on active retail trading, mean that any progress on tax reform could become a catalyst for renewed selling.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="38256fc4-4a90-4929-aa6b-f6e1ee58a969"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="38256fc4-4a90-4929-aa6b-f6e1ee58a969"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">From a global perspective, South Korea’s violent market swings are a microcosm of the AI capex cycle entering a phase of expectation adjustment. U.S. semiconductor and AI-related assets have also come under pressure, while technology shares in Japan, Taiwan and other Asian markets have seen varying degrees of declines, highlighting the strong cross-market linkage among Asia-Pacific tech stocks. Even though Nvidia’s management has remained optimistic about AI demand, market sentiment has not fully recovered. Some investors have begun to reassess whether current valuations have excessively priced in the long-term benefits of AI infrastructure buildout. Over the past year, the core logic of the AI trade rested on sustained growth in compute demand, upward revisions to cloud-provider capex and a high-margin cycle for memory chips. The market is now demanding greater order visibility, clearer cash-flow realization and a more reasonable valuation cushion.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="1467f70c-8a34-4879-8554-abf5e888ba95"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="1467f70c-8a34-4879-8554-abf5e888ba95"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">Overall, the current turbulence in South Korea’s market reflects the fragility of its liquidity structure and policy expectations more than a fundamental deterioration in the semiconductor industry. The industrial logic of tight HBM supply and demand still has near-term support, and the recovery in the memory cycle has not been clearly invalidated. However, highly leveraged retail investors, a dual-heavyweight index structure and unresolved tax reform together have created a market ecosystem that is highly sensitive to external shocks. Before the AI memory supercycle is decisively disproven, Korean equities are likely to retain their high-beta characteristics. For global investors, South Korea is increasingly becoming a key barometer for tracking crowding in the AI trade, valuation elasticity in technology stocks and the risks embedded in retail leverage.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="e4b89bd9-f109-47b0-80b6-535a9901c5c3"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="e4b89bd9-f109-47b0-80b6-535a9901c5c3"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content"></p></div></div></div></div>

More importantly, it demonstrates performance close to frontier closed-source models in long-horizon tasks, coding, and agentic workflows. Zhipu official materials show that GLM-5.2 supports a 1M-token context window and is designed for long-horizon tasks. Its architectural improvements can reduce per-token FLOPs by 2.9x at a 1M context length, while speculative decoding further improves inference efficiency. Zhipu also says GLM-5.2 scored 81.0 on Terminal-Bench 2.1, close to Claude Opus 4.8’s 85.0 and ahead of Gemini 3.1 Pro.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="b7a85c20-71b4-4139-9ebd-74f9329400db"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="b7a85c20-71b4-4139-9ebd-74f9329400db"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">These developments are easily simplified by the market into narratives such as “open-source models are crushing closed-source models” or “AI no longer needs chips.” A more objective conclusion is this: <strong>hardware demand will not disappear, but its structure will change; closed-source model companies will face greater pressure on capital expenditure; and the semiconductor industry’s valuation framework will shift from simply betting on training-scale expansion to assessing competition across training, inference, interconnects, memory, and energy efficiency.</strong></p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="d7e83e2d-99e0-41e2-8575-0d5390d85f52"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="d7e83e2d-99e0-41e2-8575-0d5390d85f52"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">First, the impact on hardware demand is not that companies will “buy fewer GPUs,” but that lower unit intelligence costs will reactivate demand elasticity. When DeepSeek R1 emerged in early 2025, Nvidia’s shares fell by roughly 17% in a single day, wiping out nearly $600 billion in market value. At the time, investors worried that if a Chinese team could build near-frontier models at much lower cost, the need for U.S. tech giants to keep piling into compute would be questioned. But the industry’s development since then suggests that low-cost models have not ended compute demand. Instead, they have enabled more developers, enterprises, and agent applications to enter real usage scenarios. The cheaper models become, the more frequently they are called, and the easier it is for inference-side demand to expand.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="c6bc7365-0442-425b-b0a1-abee9c0bb403"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="c6bc7365-0442-425b-b0a1-abee9c0bb403"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">Microsoft’s reported consideration of using Azure-hosted DeepSeek in Copilot Cowork reflects exactly this logic. According to Axios, Microsoft is shifting Copilot Cowork toward usage-based pricing and exploring fine-tuned DeepSeek V4 or other open-source models as lower-cost alternatives to OpenAI and Anthropic models. The reason is that agentic tools repeatedly call models while completing tasks, causing AI bills to rise quickly. This shows that large enterprise customers care not only about the “most powerful model,” but also about the “unit task cost at an acceptable level of capability.” In the future, enterprise AI platforms will likely adopt multi-model routing: the strongest closed-source models for complex tasks, and cheaper open-source or Chinese models for routine coding, documentation, customer service, and data-processing tasks.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="05c5b8dd-18e2-4490-b4aa-5ad4af0b5ff5"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="05c5b8dd-18e2-4490-b4aa-5ad4af0b5ff5"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">Second, the capital investment logic of closed-source model companies will come under stronger constraints. The previous commercial model for closed-source AI rested on three assumptions: capability leadership, user dependence on APIs, and pricing high enough to cover massive training and inference infrastructure spending. But open-weight models such as GLM-5.2 are compressing that premium. Third-party platforms show that GLM-5.2 is priced on OpenRouter at about $1 per million input tokens and $4 per million output tokens, while supporting a 1M context window. OfficeChai, citing Artificial Analysis data, said GLM-5.2 ranked fourth overall on the Intelligence Index v4.1, first among open-weight models, and sat on the cost-intelligence Pareto frontier. Even if these rankings do not fully represent real enterprise scenarios, they are already enough to change customers’ bargaining power.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="f88a60e7-265c-4045-875c-ec7fdefdf444"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="f88a60e7-265c-4045-875c-ec7fdefdf444"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">For OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Meta, and other leading AI labs, the implication is that closed-source models will still require continued investment in larger-scale training, because frontier capability, reliability, safety alignment, and ecosystem distribution remain valuable. However, it will be harder for them to earn excess gross margins through a single high-priced API model. Capital expenditure will increasingly need to emphasize “effective capex”: higher data-center utilization, lower inference costs, stronger caching, model distillation, mixture-of-experts architectures, dedicated inference chips, and model combinations tailored to specific industry scenarios, rather than simply expanding GPU clusters.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="4c9be4ab-823d-44a3-bad0-5db67992cc86"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="4c9be4ab-823d-44a3-bad0-5db67992cc86"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">Third, for the semiconductor industry, the impact is one of differentiation rather than broad-based bearishness. On the training side, if algorithmic efficiency continues to improve, the incremental GPU demand required to train each frontier model may be lower than the market’s most aggressive expectations, weakening the “infinite GPU buildout” narrative. But on the inference side, agents, long context windows, multimodality, and enterprise automation will significantly increase token consumption. This is especially true for long tasks such as code generation, software engineering, research assistance, and data analysis, which consume large amounts of output tokens and reasoning tokens. OfficeChai’s data also noted that GLM-5.2’s output-token consumption per task is not low in high-capability settings, suggesting that “cheaper models” do not necessarily mean “lower total bills.”</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="11f66652-1dd5-496b-a342-89b3d02d41c5"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="11f66652-1dd5-496b-a342-89b3d02d41c5"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">As a result, opportunities across the semiconductor supply chain will spread beyond GPUs alone into more specialized areas: high-bandwidth memory, advanced packaging, networking interconnects, inference accelerators, low-power edge AI, domestic compute adaptation, and cloud scheduling software. Nvidia will still benefit from the largest-scale training and high-end inference clusters, but investors will pay closer attention to its pricing power, the sustainability of customer capex, and whether it can maintain margins in an environment of “cheaper models but higher usage.” AMD, ASIC vendors, cloud providers’ self-developed chips, and Chinese AI chipmakers may gain more opportunities in replacement and tiered deployment.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="11c57f81-35b0-420d-97e9-a127136a1894"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="11c57f81-35b0-420d-97e9-a127136a1894"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">In summary, GLM-5.2 and Microsoft’s consideration of DeepSeek are not proof that AI hardware demand has peaked. Rather, they show that the AI industry is entering a new stage of <strong>unit intelligence cost competition</strong>. In the short term, this will pressure pricing and gross-margin expectations for closed-source models and trigger valuation volatility in semiconductors. In the long term, cheaper models will expand AI application penetration and shift compute demand from a small number of giant training clusters toward broader enterprise inference, agent workflows, and industry automation. What truly needs to be revalued is not whether AI needs compute, but who can convert compute into monetizable intelligent productivity at the lowest cost.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="16fb6ef6-e93c-43e5-bc8c-8a1b5e3a50ec"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="16fb6ef6-e93c-43e5-bc8c-8a1b5e3a50ec"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content"></p></div></div></div></div>

At the business-segment level, Starlink’s connectivity business contributed $11.4 billion, or roughly 61% of total revenue, and was the only consistently profitable business. The AI segment, xAI, was the main source of losses.

Historically, classic “top calls” have sometimes occurred while bull markets were still in full swing, and at other times have proved highly accurate. The difference this time is that the infrastructure investment supporting valuations is real and substantial, but the monetization path remains under verification.

Q4 2018: max drawdown about 22.99%.</strong> The pressure came from Fed rate hikes, balance-sheet tightening, and trade tensions. The Nasdaq-100 fell from around 7,660 on August 29 to around 5,899 on December 24, 2018, and did not reclaim its high until April 2019.

This was not a collapse in tech fundamentals. It was a liquidity shock across global risk assets. After the Fed moved quickly to inject liquidity, the Nasdaq-100 reclaimed its high in just 55 trading days. The lesson: the Nasdaq-100 falls fast, but when liquidity turns, it can recover just as fast.  </p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="80c18701-fac5-4ddb-a55b-df2a5da6692a"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="80c18701-fac5-4ddb-a55b-df2a5da6692a"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content"><strong>3.

The Nasdaq-100 fell from around 16,573 on November 19, 2021 to around 10,679 on December 28, 2022 — 281 trading days to the low, then another 243 trading days to reclaim the high.

The triggers were tariff escalation, trade-policy uncertainty, and growth concerns.For high-valuation tech, tariffs are not just a trade issue. They feed into costs, profit expectations, inflation, and ultimately  H1 2025 was not ordinary volatility. It was a classic policy-shock drawdown.  </p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="9e3d2195-fbc6-497f-a7ac-454d0b43bbfb"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="9e3d2195-fbc6-497f-a7ac-454d0b43bbfb"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content"></p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="d10329e3-7023-4187-8d17-009d81d908cb"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="d10329e3-7023-4187-8d17-009d81d908cb"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">Beyond these four, the Nasdaq-100 also had several mid-sized corrections of 10–20%:  </p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="df284a20-dab0-4910-b7e4-fbd17742e884"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="df284a20-dab0-4910-b7e4-fbd17742e884"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">May–June 2019: about 11.06%, on trade tensions. </p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="63d8f571-63f0-48bb-9bbc-2e3631975548"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="63d8f571-63f0-48bb-9bbc-2e3631975548"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">September 2020: about 12.78%, as tech cooled after its strong post-COVID rally. </p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="88f6bef4-1c7f-4018-88e5-4902b3fdd8c7"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="88f6bef4-1c7f-4018-88e5-4902b3fdd8c7"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">February–March 2021: about 10.93%, on rising Treasury yields. </p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="da6f1b6b-ec9c-4557-91db-b602f68cdb7c"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="da6f1b6b-ec9c-4557-91db-b602f68cdb7c"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">July–August 2024: about 13.58%, as the AI and semiconductor trade got too crowded and the market digested earlier gains. </p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="28228bb1-e028-426a-a076-a07e34974066"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="28228bb1-e028-426a-a076-a07e34974066"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">January–March 2026: about 12.12%, mainly on the U.S.–Iran conflict.  </p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="a37c0483-8034-4129-9cc4-6172b85f65c3"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="a37c0483-8034-4129-9cc4-6172b85f65c3"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">Clearly, 10% corrections are not rare for the Nasdaq-100.

Hedge funds and asset managers are pouring capital into AI-related semiconductors, cloud computing, and infrastructure plays. Strategy’s symbolic breach, persistent ETF outflows, and the breakdown of key levels in both Bitcoin and Ethereum all point to the same conclusion: in the face of the first super IPO cycle of the AI era, crypto is undergoing a passive valuation reset rather than a simple cyclical replay.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="0e42f407-f873-4d58-b22d-4a138bd8a06d"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="0e42f407-f873-4d58-b22d-4a138bd8a06d"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content">The current decline is therefore better understood as a stress test of funding conditions and allocation logic. If ETF outflows slow, derivatives leverage is flushed out, and macro rate expectations ease, Bitcoin could still form a low-level recovery. But if capital continues flowing into AI stocks and large IPOs, rebounds in Bitcoin and Ether will depend more heavily on support from existing investors, and market volatility is likely to remain elevated.</p></div></div></div><div class="bn-block-outer" data-node-type="blockOuter" data-id="86010a91-db26-4056-8abe-4aabcc7431be"><div class="bn-block" data-node-type="blockContainer" data-id="86010a91-db26-4056-8abe-4aabcc7431be"><div class="bn-block-content" data-content-type="paragraph"><p class="bn-inline-content"></p></div></div></div></div>
