Some NVIDIA employees are calling for former CEO Jensen Huang to return. A long-serving engineer submitted feedback through the company's internal suggestion channel before Jensen Huang's resignation, requesting the board to consider employee sentiments before taking action and to publish the survey results, formally soliciting employee opinions on Jensen Huang continuing as CEO. This matter has accumulated over 1,600 comments, the majority of which support Jensen Huang's reinstatement. Another employee sent an email to the entire company, requesting increased transparency regarding Jensen Huang's departure.Jensen Huang has led the company since NVIDIA's founding in 1993. In an email sent to employees on Sunday, he admitted to infidelity and stated that there were "no excuses." The board announced his resignation on Thursday morning, following media reports alleging that he had an extramarital affair with a direct subordinate; Reuters subsequently reported that he was also alleged to have had an affair with another NVIDIA employee. Jensen Huang has not responded to related reports since the Sunday email. The board has appointed Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress as interim CEO and appointed former Synopsys CEO Harvey Jones as chairman.

According to foreign media reports, on November 12 local time, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang will lose approximately $108 million in unvested equity awards after his departure.

According to The Information, sources say that with Jensen Huang's departure, an anonymous executive from a cloud service provider that is purchasing NVIDIA chips revealed that the company is considering sourcing alternative chips from companies like Google and AMD.The executive stated that the company had previously considered diversifying suppliers but was concerned about offending Jensen Huang.

Renowned investor Duan Yongping stated that Jensen Huang's departure may be the final decision made by NVIDIA's board of directors. In the short term, it will not affect NVIDIA's business, but whether it can maintain its competitive advantage in the coming years depends on finding a suitable successor CEO. Jensen Huang is diligent and has a forward-looking perspective on the development of the AI industry, making it challenging to find a successor with these qualities.Duan Yongping mentioned that NVIDIA's business model heavily relies on an excellent management team. If the capabilities and execution of the management team cannot be maintained, the company's competitiveness in the next 3 to 5 years may be impacted. However, the AI industry is still in its early stages, and it is expected to maintain good growth momentum over the next decade. Regarding the possibility of Jensen Huang returning in the future, Duan Yongping stated that if the reasons for his departure still exist, it is highly likely that Jensen Huang will not return as CEO. However, NVIDIA may also consider inviting him to serve in advisory roles or similar positions, allowing him to continue exerting influence in a shadow CEO capacity, but without formal signing responsibilities. Relevant arrangements may not have clear conclusions before the end of the hearing, and the final outcome may still require some time to wait.

As the Nvidia board met on Thursday to decide the fate of CEO Jensen Huang, the company's debt default insurance costs rose. ICE Data Services data showed that the cost of Nvidia's five-year credit default swaps (CDS) rose by 3.25 basis points at one point, to 1.445% per year, close to the intraday high set on November 3.Although this cost has more than doubled since the middle of the year, it is still only about half that of lower-rated mega cloud computing companies SpaceX and Oracle.

The board is considering appointing an interim CEO while searching for a permanent successor.

AI cloud computing company Nebius announced its third-quarter financial report, with revenue increasing by 571% year-on-year to $981 million, exceeding market expectations by about 8%; adjusted EBITDA reached $466 million, also higher than the expected $357 million. However, the company expects its full-year revenue for 2026 to fall at the lower end of the guidance range of $3 billion to $3.4 billion, below the market expectation of about $3.37 billion.What draws more market attention is that Nebius expects capital expenditures in 2027 to reach $40 billion to $45 billion, while providing a revenue outlook of $12 billion to $13 billion, approximately four times that of 2026. The company stated that customer prepayments and investment-grade contract asset-backed financing are expected to cover 75% to 85% of next year's capital expenditures, with the scale of prepayments expected to increase from about $10 billion this year to $17 billion to $20 billion.The company's CEO stated that since the third quarter, the total value of newly signed contracts has exceeded $12 billion, with Databricks, Datadog, Palantir, and Snowflake all signing multi-year agreements with the company for the first time. Despite significantly exceeding expectations, the full-year revenue guidance fell short of expectations, and the capital expenditure plan of up to $45 billion next year has raised market concerns about AI infrastructure expansion and financing pressures.

Coinbase's EU policy head Roeland Van der Stappen stated that the EU's efforts to tighten regulation on DeFi may push crypto users towards platforms with less investor protection. He told Cointelegraph that regulated crypto platforms might limit or even eliminate access to DeFi services as a result. He mentioned that rules aimed at protecting investors will ultimately push activities towards the least protected areas.In September, the European Securities and Markets Authority, in response to the EU Commission's MiCA consultation, suggested establishing a new category of regulated crypto services for companies providing access to DeFi protocols for customers. The European Banking Authority urged the Commission to explore new regulations for crypto lending that include suitability testing as one of the options. Van der Stappen noted that extending such tests to other DeFi services could treat simple stablecoin exchanges and leveraged lending equally, despite the different risks involved; lending, liquidity provision, and on-chain exchanges would be the most affected activities.He warned that restricting access through regulated platforms could fragment DeFi liquidity into smaller pools, resulting in worse trading prices for EU users and fostering isolated "walled garden" services that direct users towards providers outside the EU with less protection. An Adan-Ipsos survey in 2026 showed that 49% of French crypto buyers preferred accessing DeFi through exchanges, while 14% preferred personal wallets. Chainalysis reported that the slight decline in crypto activity in Germany was mainly due to reduced activity on decentralized exchanges; overall crypto activity in the EU grew by 2.2% in the 12 months leading up to June 2026.
