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.

Bitcoin News posted on platform X that the Brazilian exchange Mercado Bitcoin reopened read-only accounts a week after being attacked, resulting in an estimated loss of about 49 million dollars. Users can view their balances as of the day the attack occurred, but withdrawals are currently not possible, and the exchange has not announced a timeline for resuming withdrawals.Mercado Bitcoin stated that it has 4.8 million customers and will cover all losses with company funds, but has not explained how the attackers accessed its wallets. After withdrawals are resumed, they will only be processed through Pix, and users will need to reconfirm their information, with withdrawals only allowed to accounts under their own names.

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.

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. The report states that regardless of whether the choice is internal promotion, external recruitment, or a temporary management team, the board needs to maintain strategic continuity and organizational stability in the event of Jensen Huang's potential departure.

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.

AMD disclosed server processor and die interconnect layout at the In Depth technology forum. Venice uses TSMC's N2 process and CoWoS-L advanced packaging, and introduces elevated fan-out bridge (EFB). The subsequent Verano will adopt the N2P process. AMD's server architecture head Mahesh Subramony stated that as the number of computing cores increases, more data needs to be transmitted between dies, and EFB reduces power consumption and latency through short-distance interconnects. AMD expects the data center CPU market size to grow from approximately $26 billion in 2025 to about $220 billion in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of over 50%.In terms of packaging collaboration, ASE and SPIL are involved in the development and validation of wafer-level 2.5D bridge interconnects, and AMD has completed panel-level EFB interconnect validation with Powertech. AMD announced in May 2026 that it will invest over $10 billion in the Taiwanese industrial ecosystem to expand strategic cooperation and advanced packaging capabilities. Regarding product progress, the Venice SP7 platform has been shipped, with the SP8 aimed at the enterprise market expected to be supplied in the first half of 2027, and Verano and Venice-X scheduled for release in the second half of the same year, with related server processor products targeted for mass production in 2027.

According to the Bitcoin Core security announcement, the medium-severity vulnerability CVE-2025-62859 was disclosed on November 10, 2026. This vulnerability exists in versions prior to 29.2 and 30, where malicious nodes can exploit witness malleation in compact blocks to stall the block processing of victims under specific conditions.The announcement states that affected nodes will clear the download status after rebuilding the compact block and before checking the witness data. If the check fails, the node will revert to requesting the full block from the same node and wait for a 10-minute timeout. If the attacker controls three high-bandwidth peer nodes of the victim, or if the victim is running in -blockonly mode, this attack can be repeated indefinitely.This vulnerability was discovered and responsibly disclosed by Eugene Siegel, and the fix has been included in Bitcoin Core versions 29.2 and 30.

According to a survey by the technology media outlet The Information on NVIDIA's board of directors, the fate of founder and CEO Jensen Huang currently depends on the board. This company, which has the highest market value globally, does not have a clear successor for the CEO position, and there are several long-time partners who have worked with Huang for decades on the board. The board needs to investigate whether Huang's personal relationships have led to the leakage of company secrets and whether he has violated internal regulations; if issues are found, they must also decide how to handle this founder and CEO.NVIDIA has a total of 11 directors, including Jensen Huang himself, with 5 of the remaining 10 having served for over ten years. Venture capitalists Tench Coxe and Mark Stevens joined the board when the company was founded in 1993, coming from early investors Sutter Hill Ventures and Sequoia Capital, respectively. The person most likely to lead the investigation is Chief Independent Director Stephen Neal, a nearly 80-year-old lawyer who joined the board in 2019 and serves as the chair of the corporate governance committee; his firm, Cooley LLP, has provided legal services to NVIDIA since 1993. NVIDIA has not yet announced the members of the investigation committee, and it is still uncertain whether Neal will personally lead it.Neal previously defended Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and represented key figures in the U.S. savings and loan crisis, such as Charles Keating; FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried also proposed him as chairman when the company was on the brink of bankruptcy. He is also responsible for overseeing Meta's independent content review board, and a person familiar with him described his approach as pragmatic, preferring to resolve issues with minimal disruption. Jensen Huang has long directly managed dozens of executives, with core business leaders reporting directly to him, and there is no recognized second-in-command; none of the board members have held CEO positions at large companies. Harvard University corporate governance expert Jesse Fried expects the investigation could last for months, and the board is likely to ultimately choose to retain Jensen Huang.

Morgan Stanley believes that the market is concerned that the results of the U.S. elections may slow down data center construction, leading to a sell-off of AI-related stocks, which seems excessive. The firm stated that AI spending is likely to continue to expand and noted that the previously expected planning capacity of approximately 5 gigawatts for U.S. data centers in 2028 may be postponed to 2029, rather than being canceled.Morgan Stanley stated that this keeps the spending plans of hyperscale cloud service providers largely unchanged. Analysts said that this delay could extend the AI investment cycle by alleviating supply constraints and supporting pricing; they remain optimistic about major AI beneficiaries including Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Google, while also finding opportunities among semiconductor, infrastructure, and software companies.

NEAR AI tweeted that it has closed unauthorized access and continues to complete the investigation. NEAR AI Cloud will remain suspended until it can be safely restored.

Robinhood announced the launch of its IPO Access service in the UK, allowing retail investors to submit purchase requests at the official offering price before new stocks officially trade on the US market. Users can submit applications through their regular investment accounts, with the app providing the prospectus and SEC documents for each available new stock for investors to review before deciding whether to subscribe. Robinhood stated that it is collaborating with a UK public offering platform provider to offer access to eligible initial public offerings.This service was first launched in the US in 2021, and Robinhood claims to have participated in over 50 IPOs since then, opening it up to millions of US customers. Jordan Sinclair, President of Robinhood UK, stated that bringing IPO Access to the UK aims to provide the same opportunities for UK retail investors to participate in investments in the next generation of innovative public companies.This launch is a continuation of Robinhood's expansion in the UK. Last year, the company acquired the exchange Bitstamp for $200 million and opened cryptocurrency trading to eligible UK customers through Bitstamp in August of this year, supporting the buying and selling of over 50 cryptocurrencies in its main UK investment app, alongside stocks, ISAs, options, and futures. In July of this year, Robinhood launched the Robinhood Chain mainnet and provided eligible users with 24/7 trading of tokenized stock products. Robinhood stated that there are no commissions for IPO subscriptions but cautioned that participating in IPO investments carries significant risks, with stock price volatility potentially being high, especially in the early stages of listing.
