According to reports from Xinhua News Agency citing American media, senior Democratic Party officials in Congress have confirmed that after the Democratic Party officially takes control of Congress in January next year, several senior officials from the Trump administration, including Secretary of State Rubio, may become targets of investigations and impeachment.Senior Democratic members of the House of Representatives and the Senate have stated that they are considering launching investigations and holding congressional hearings, potentially initiating impeachment proceedings, with targets including Secretary of State Rubio, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and Border Affairs Director Tom Homan. Reports indicate that although the impeachment attempt against Secretary of Defense Hegseth was unsuccessful this week, the Democratic Party's oversight investigation plans extend far beyond just him.

Hugging Face CEO Clément Delangue expressed that the departure of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is "a very sad day," and hopes that such things never happen. He also stated that Hugging Face will work harder than ever for open-source AI, which is crucial, and that there can be no slowing down now. Nvidia has appointed Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as interim CEO.In September, Nvidia announced plans to acquire the open-source AI model platform Hugging Face for $12.9 billion, with the transaction expected to be completed in the first half of 2027. This deal ranks as the second largest in Nvidia's history, only behind its acquisition of chip company Groq's assets for $20 billion in December 2025. The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an inquiry in October regarding the impact of this acquisition on competition in the AI market, and Nvidia previously committed that the Hugging Face platform would remain open and supportive.

Bitcoin News posted on platform X that Trezor confirmed that three Safe 5 devices sold by CryptoBilis contained malicious implants that could steal recovery phrases and password phrases. The implants intercept screen data and send it to servers controlled by attackers via mobile networks.Trezor stated that the released firmware 2.13.1 can disable the discovered implants, and its dealer network has been reduced by about 80%; currently, no customers have reported stolen funds. Customers who purchased devices through CryptoBilis starting in March 2026 can apply for replacements, and affected users should still transfer their funds to wallets using a brand new recovery seed, as firmware updates cannot eliminate previously leaked information.

According to monitoring by Lookonchain, after the news of Jensen Huang stepping down as CEO of Nvidia was announced, a trader's long position in NVDA contracts was completely liquidated, involving 9,959 units, worth approximately 1.54 million dollars.

According to Gate Market, U.S. chip stocks continued to decline in pre-market trading after Jensen Huang announced his resignation as CEO. Intel (INTC.O) fell 3.7%, Marvell Technology (MRVL.O) fell 5.2%, Micron Technology (MU.O) fell 5.2%, Arm (ARM.O) fell 4.1%, SK Hynix (SKHY.O) fell 5.1%, and TSMC (TSM.N) fell 3.5%.

Inflation data for October in the United States sends multiple warning signals. The data shows that the core CPI rose by 0.3% month-on-month, higher than the market expectation of 0.2%, exceeding expectations for the third consecutive month; the overall CPI rose by 0.4% month-on-month, also above expectations. The impact of rising energy prices is spreading to areas such as food and transportation, and service inflation remains robust, further complicating the Federal Reserve's efforts to control inflation.Specifically, food prices in the U.S. rose by 0.5% month-on-month in October, with grocery prices recording the largest monthly increase since April; urban transportation service prices saw the largest monthly increase since 2020, and prices for airline tickets and delivery services also increased. Additionally, service prices excluding energy and housing rents rose by 0.4% month-on-month, while owners' equivalent rent increased by 0.3%.AI investments are bringing new cost pressures. Over the past three months, the annualized price increase for computers and peripheral devices in the U.S. reached 25%, and electricity prices rose by 0.9% month-on-month in October, marking the largest increase in six months. Morgan Stanley estimates that AI-related factors have contributed about 6 basis points to the core CPI this year, with the current impact still relatively limited, but as data center investments expand, related pressures may rise further.In terms of monetary policy, Chicago Fed President Goolsbee described the latest inflation data as approaching an alarming level. Fed Governor Waller previously stated that if the core CPI month-on-month increase reaches 0.3% or higher, the December meeting should consider raising interest rates by 50 basis points. Goldman Sachs has included a forecast for an additional 25 basis point increase in March 2027, expecting that the target range for the federal funds rate will rise to 4.25% to 4.50%. However, some economists warn that there is a lag in the transmission of energy prices, and over-reliance on current data may lead to excessive tightening of monetary policy.

Julian Lafarge, Chief Market Strategist at Barclays Private Bank, stated that despite the uncertainty surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's future, the uncertain returns on AI investments, and rising financing costs testing market confidence, investors should continue to participate in the AI market. Lafarge believes that AI is not a bubble but a technological revolution that will impact all industries, although its commercialization and infrastructure development cannot happen overnight.Lafarge pointed out that Nvidia is referred to as the "central bank of AI trading," but even if the company changes its CEO, it does not mean that the entire AI industry chain's trading needs to be re-evaluated or renegotiated. He compared the potential leadership transition at Nvidia to previous management transitions at Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon, arguing that a successor taking over does not necessarily weaken corporate value.However, Barclays lists interest rates and the financing environment as major risks that could disrupt the market. As the scale of AI infrastructure investment expands, the market's focus is shifting from whether the demand for computing power is real to whether the massive capital expenditures can generate sufficient returns. Data center construction also faces bottlenecks such as power access, equipment installation, and commercial operation cycles, while expectations of tightening Federal Reserve policies may also raise corporate financing costs and depress long-term cash flow valuations.Lafarge emphasized that the trillions of dollars in AI investment commitments cannot quickly translate into actual computing power delivery, and there will be significant divergence in investment returns among companies. Tighter financing conditions may change the pace of industry investment and competitive landscape, but it does not mean that the long-term demand for AI infrastructure will disappear. Barclays still prefers to maintain exposure to AI investments until there are clear signs of a significant slowdown in industry growth momentum.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin, after Anthropic determined a pricing range of $70 to $78 per share (corresponding to a market capitalization of $1.26 trillion to $1.405 trillion), the largest short position on Hyperliquid for Anthropic continues to increase, with the short position value reaching $70.5 million and an unrealized profit of approximately $1.41 million.Currently, the pre-market contracts for ANT on Hyperliquid are priced at about $104, which is approximately 33% higher than the upper limit of the issuance range of $78. Yu Jin also provided two addresses suspected to be related to this short position (0xecc8..., 0x0b42...).In terms of background, Anthropic plans to issue 825 million shares at a price of $70 to $78 per share, with the financing scale estimated at about $64 billion based on the upper limit; the company previously stated that it expects to finalize the issuance price next Wednesday and begin trading next Thursday, with the IPO already receiving several times oversubscription. The pre-market price is significantly higher than the issuance range, and if the final price is set at the upper limit of the range, the pressure on the short position will continue to accumulate.

IT Home reported on November 12 that the Japanese government is considering requiring AI companies to fulfill security obligations and introducing new penalties to address the risks of uncontrolled advanced AI. The Japanese government plans to announce a comprehensive reform plan by the end of this year, with relevant content confirmed in a closed working group meeting discussing AI legal systems. This move aims to address significant threats such as AI cyberattacks and loss of control, ensuring that the government can take action against malicious companies that refuse to negotiate.Currently, the business division of AI companies is becoming increasingly detailed, including various aspects such as basic research, foundational model development, and user services. The Japanese government will further discuss the scope of regulatory targets. If American AI large model companies are included in the regulation, how to effectively protect the rights and interests of Japanese users will also become a problem that needs to be addressed. For companies that refuse to cooperate in negotiations after issues arise, the Japanese government plans to issue enforcement orders when necessary and consider imposing penalties on companies that defy these orders. These measures are expected to primarily target incidents of uncontrolled advanced AI and attacks.

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.

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.

Analyze, responsible for the extensive marketing and operational strategies of the Elysium ecosystem token issuance platform Ascend, responded to related doubts about Spinor and the Ascend community. Analyze stated that the plan to purchase tokens from the ecosystem issuance platform Montra was made solely by him, and other team members were not involved in that decision. He mentioned that one or two days before the token launch, he transferred $100,000 to a wallet to establish a position, viewing this as a business arrangement for Ascend, believing that companies often purchase equity in competitors through strategic investments, and purchasing Montra was similar. Analyze stated that the relevant tokens were purchased after the launch, and any market participant could perform similar operations.Analyze also mentioned that after learning about the purchase of Montra tokens, a friend created a FOMO wallet and suggested transferring the tokens to that wallet. He admitted that a large number of comments were handled by him before the release, and he did not stop them, allowing them to continue, calling this practice extremely unprofessional and apologizing for it. Analyze stated that unexpected situations arose on the day of the launch, leading him to make irrational decisions, and he also pushed Tommy to acquire more supply, while Tommy initially expressed opposition. Analyze publicly apologized to Tommy, the rest of the Ascend team, and the community, stating that his decision put all parties in the current situation, and he takes responsibility for it.
