The biggest bombshell today wasn’t Bitcoin falling below $69,000—it was Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang suddenly resigning.
According to multiple media reports, Huang has resigned as Nvidia’s president, CEO, and board member, effective immediately. CFO Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO. The news triggered an immediate sell-off in tech stocks, dragging down the Nasdaq and Bitcoin as well. Bitcoin hit a low of $68,663, down 6.8% in 24 hours, while $1.41 billion in positions were liquidated across the market, 89% of them longs.
My take is that the impact isn’t really about Nvidia itself—it’s that this has punctured the sense of certainty around the AI narrative. For the past two years, AI has been a shared anchor for both U.S. stocks and crypto. When that anchor wobbles, both sides shake. AI-related coins have already been tracking the broader market in recent days, and this will only make sentiment more cautious.
As someone who has bills to pay every month, I don’t care who takes over right now. I only care about one thing: the anchor for risk assets has loosened—can my positions hold up until next month’s payment deadline? Positions you can’t afford to hold become a burden whether they rise or fall.
What do you think Huang’s departure means for AI? Is this just a temporary setback, or will someone else pick up the narrative and carry it on?
