According to a report by Sina Finance, this summer, Nvidia founder Jensen Huang convened a meeting with core financial executives to assess the risks associated with providing billions of dollars in guarantees to companies that cannot afford chips. During the meeting, Huang harshly criticized the interim CEO Colette Kress, who has taken over the leadership of Nvidia.An insider stated that when Kress was reporting, Huang interrupted her, saying she looked like "a deer caught in headlights," and commented that she was merely a "CFO focused on accounting," unable to help define strategy or make critical decisions. The report indicated that many related transactions were led by Huang's son-in-law Nico Caprez, aimed at providing financing to emerging cloud vendors and data center developers in exchange for long-term chip customers. After initiating a round of large-scale transaction expansion, Huang himself began to question whether the steps taken were too large. The meeting took place in August.

According to Bloomberg, Nvidia is searching for a formal successor to CEO Jensen Huang. Following multiple revelations of Huang's extramarital affairs, the company has commissioned an external agency to identify potential candidates. Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress has taken over as interim CEO; she is the most well-known executive among investors after Huang. Bloomberg states that the board typically considers having the CFO take over to stabilize the situation, but financial executives are often viewed as transitional candidates in tech companies.Other potential candidates listed by Bloomberg include: Ian Buck, who is responsible for data center products and AI chips and invented the CUDA software framework; Rene Haas, who previously worked at Nvidia and now leads chip design company Arm; Lisa Su, who leads AMD and has seen AMD's stock price increase nearly 170 times during her tenure; and Johny Srouji, who leads Apple's in-house chip project.The list also includes Matt Garman, head of Amazon Web Services (AWS); Sanjay Mehrotra, chairman and CEO of Micron Technology, who has seen Micron's stock price increase over 2700% during his tenure; and Amin Vahdat, who is responsible for Google's TPU project. Bloomberg states that finding a suitable successor for this globally highest-valued chip manufacturer is not easy.

On November 12, the volume-price trend trader ye.koi stated that the Binance account of the party involved, Shawn, had approximately 400,000 USDT restricted from withdrawal, with contract trading profits of about 340,000 USDT. Ye.koi mentioned that the related restrictions were connected to a freezing request from a local court in Colorado, USA; the party involved had provided the source of funds as requested by Binance customer service, which then indicated that the platform had not lifted the restrictions and required him to contact the U.S. court directly.Ye.koi also stated that after the party checked the court's website, they did not find a public entry for ordinary users to submit defenses or evidence. Binance customer service had previously publicly responded that the account restrictions were enforced based on the requirements of the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, and the platform had no authority to lift them independently. They suggested that the party contact the court to understand the appeal process and required materials or consult a professional lawyer.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that within less than a month, the open interest of BTC on the Binance platform has decreased from 10.6 billion dollars to 8.8 billion dollars, a drop of 17%. Meanwhile, its 180-day moving average has risen from 8.4 billion dollars to 8.6 billion dollars. As the open interest falls below the moving average, new signals of deleveraging are emerging in the market. In a bull market phase, this signal typically appears when market corrections are nearing their end, reflecting that traders are reducing their leveraged exposure, which includes both voluntary liquidations and forced liquidations due to insufficient margin.Aside from the fact that this process may last for months in a bear market, a similar signal last appeared in June of this year when the BTC price was below 60,000 dollars, subsequently rebounding to above 87,000 dollars, with an increase of over 45%. Currently, as the open interest declines, the market is also experiencing large-scale liquidations. Low volatility seems to encourage some traders to take on higher risks to compensate for the insufficient returns brought about by the narrowing price fluctuations, making them more susceptible to market reversal shocks. Over the past three months, the monthly liquidation scale on Binance has reached new highs since 2021: over 1.4 billion dollars in August, 1.1 billion dollars in September, and 1.3 billion dollars in October. This trend appears to continue into November, with the liquidation scale exceeding 520 million dollars before the end of the first half of this month.These data highlight the potential losses that leveraged trading can bring to investors. In a market environment with low volatility and shrinking trading volume, blindly increasing risk exposure due to a lack of patience can quickly lead to heavy costs. However, the deleveraging phase also helps improve the market environment. Reducing leveraged positions can lower the risk of cascading liquidations, allowing spot demand to play a greater role in market pricing, thereby helping Bitcoin establish a more robust market structure.

According to Tom's Hardware, residents of Effingham County, Georgia, have sued OpenAI and local county officials, accusing them of secretly advancing a data center worth approximately $20 billion. The lawsuit is based on Georgia's extortion law, allowing the plaintiffs to seek triple actual damages, while also raising claims of fraud and conspiracy. The complaint states that the head of the county's industrial development authority signed a non-disclosure agreement with OpenAI in October 2025, about nine months before the project's public announcement.The complaint also alleges that the industrial development authority approved the arrangements with only Project Gateway listed on the agenda, and that the county commissioner allegedly skipped two statutory hearings when changing the zoning for industrial land. Local reports indicate that the project is named Project Camellia, which is proposed to be built by OpenAI's affiliate Octans GA on approximately 1,440 acres of land in the Savannah Gateway Industrial Park. The complaint was filed in Effingham County State Court on November 6, with plaintiffs Michelle Finch-Mincey, Lehman Mincey Jr., and Raymond Carver. A spokesperson for the county commission stated that they would not comment on pending litigation.

Binance's Chief Security Officer Jimmy Su stated in a July interview that fake job interviews could lure employees into running malicious code on company devices, leading to device control, credential theft, and infiltration of internal networks.In September, a Binance software engineer downloaded a malicious programming assignment to their work computer during a fake interview; Binance's preliminary investigation indicated that this incident was part of a multi-stage attack in the October theft case. Jimmy Su also pointed out that attackers might exploit seemingly normal technical assessment steps to bypass antivirus tools. Binance's subsequent investigation revealed that the installer for the malicious assignment evaded endpoint security tools through obfuscation and other evasion techniques.Binance stated that it has intercepted 57 suspected cyber threats related to North Korea so far this year, approximately one every five days. After the October attack, Binance announced that it has strengthened device and access controls, rebuilt affected wallet systems and internal AI tools, and increased investments in endpoint protection and development environment security.

Blockchain infrastructure service provider Chainstack disclosed that it experienced an AI-driven cyber attack from October 26 to 31, 2026. The attacker accessed the development environment through an unmodified default administrator credential and a Grafana instance without single sign-on protection, subsequently gaining cluster administrator privileges via an unauthenticated MCP tool server and stealing credentials through an automated platform, ultimately accessing the production environment to read the customer database.This incident resulted in the exposure of customer account information, including organization names, account holder names, member email addresses, and password hashes. The attacker also had access to systems containing node credentials, although there is no evidence that they were read; however, Chainstack still urged customers to rotate their node credentials. Chainstack stated that customer-facing services operated normally during the incident, and customer nodes, consoles, and APIs were not modified. Investigations revealed that the attacker used the open-source framework ARTEX, with no evidence found of exploiting software vulnerabilities. Chainstack has cut off the attack access path and requested customers to change passwords, rotate node credentials, regenerate platform API keys, and remain vigilant against phishing information.

A security research organization, Claroc, discovered that among the 37,571 online applications created by Grok Build, 35,578 (approximately 94.7%) can be accessed without logging in, with an estimated 650 to 800 of them involving private or sensitive data. The exposed information includes internal corporate documents, medical records, employee information, and plaintext passwords, involving six Fortune 500 companies.Among them, 24 applications were created by employees of Elon Musk's SpaceXSI and X, involving internal sales plans, customer data, and confidential advertising proposals aimed at U.S. federal agencies. Researchers pointed out that Grok application sharing links can be discovered through DNS records, and some applications lack access controls. SpaceXSI has removed the 24 applications related to itself, but applications related to other users are still accessible.

According to Tencent Technology, the board of directors of Nvidia is working with an external professional organization to find a potential successor for CEO Jensen Huang, with Apple CEO Tim Cook rumored to be one of the candidates.Time magazine has discussed the possibility of Nvidia adopting a dual CEO transition arrangement and mentioned external candidates such as Tim Cook and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

Subsequently, Musk unfollowed the account, and the price of MAX has fallen 86.4% from its peak.In addition, the address 9BMzT...FQdLU bought in at a high during the rise of MAX and continued to average down after the price dropped, with a total investment of 72,800 dollars, currently facing a loss of about 53,900 dollars, with assets shrinking by 70% within five hours.

Tianfeng International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated that Jensen Huang's importance to NVIDIA lies in his ability to transform technologies deemed feasible by engineers into products that the company must invest resources in, take risks on, and deliver. He believes this provides the supply chain with strong order visibility and a willingness to cooperate with aggressive specification upgrades; this move will also force competitors to follow suit, thereby driving technological upgrades and supply chain investments across the entire AI industry.Kuo mentioned that compared to providing order visibility to the supply chain, deciding on and implementing aggressive specification upgrades is more challenging. Jensen Huang does not need to be the person within NVIDIA who understands new technologies such as HVDC, CPO/NPO, or CCL/PTFE the best; his value lies in weighing strategy, organization, technology, and supply chain simultaneously, and making decisions and allocating resources quickly. He indicated that based on the information currently available, it is difficult for Jensen Huang to step back completely; if so, the actual approach may be to gradually reduce NVIDIA's reliance on Huang's personal decisions while preparing a succession plan. Two things worth observing in this process are whether NVIDIA can continue to develop new products and technologies as efficiently as before, and how competitors will respond. He stated that supply chain research will be an important basis for judging the direction of AI technology and investment.
