Eurasia Business News said the share decline followed Wednesday evening’s sharp selloff and deepened uncertainty among businesses connected to Nvidia’s technology and financing ecosystem. It also reported that AMD and Broadcom gained, while broader stocks and gold declined.
Altcoinbuzz said the announcement stirred volatility in crypto markets, particularly in stock-linked perpetual futures. The outlet said crypto platforms let traders react to major developments involving publicly listed companies before the Nasdaq opens, and described Bitcoin’s fall as part of broader selling pressure.
