Blockmate Ventures has agreed to acquire its first NVIDIA B200 compute node, with eight GPUs, from Scannit Inc. for a turnkey price of approximately US$635,000, marking its entry into the AI neocloud market. Blockmate will own the hardware while Scannit hosts, operates and sells the compute capacity from a U.S. data centre, and Blockmate will receive the majority of gross revenue during an initial 36-month management term. Delivery is currently expected in Q1 2027, and the company views the node as a test deployment to gather data on demand, utilisation, pricing and costs before considering larger configurations. The acquisition is expected to be funded by existing cash and debt, including a proposed secured loan from Carosa Corporation B.V., a company controlled by Founder and Chairman Domenic Carosa, which would be a related-party transaction.

- Blockmate Ventures enters AI compute market with NVIDIA B200 GPU investment
Blockmate Ventures has signed a binding agreement with Scannit Inc. to acquire its first NVIDIA B200 AI compute node, featuring eight GPUs, for about US$635,000 on a turnkey basis including shipping, data centre setup, installation, network connectivity and onboarding. The purchase marks a shift from a venture builder toward owning AI infrastructure, with revenue generated by renting capacity to AI developers and businesses through a specialist operating partner. Delivery is expected in the first quarter of 2027, subject to vendor timing and NVIDIA allocation, and commissioning should take about one week. Blockmate is expected to receive the majority of gross revenue over an initial 36-month management term. The first deployment is intended as a test of the operating model, to gather data on customer demand, utilisation, rental pricing, uptime, and hosting and power costs.
- Morgan Stanley favorite AI stock is 92 % exposed to the $1 . 6 trillion buildout it bullish on
Morgan Stanley estimates 91.7% of Nvidia's 2027 revenue is exposed to AI infrastructure demand, the highest on the bank's list, and calls Nvidia the best risk/reward in the sector. Hyperscalers and AI cloud providers are expected to spend $1.58 trillion in 2027, up roughly 60% from about $980 billion this year. About $1 trillion of that spending shows up as S&P 500 revenue, nearly $700 billion of it going to Nvidia, while SpaceX and Amazon Web Services make up about 54% of Nvidia's hyperscaler revenue in 2027. The report also flags risks including the largest cash flow deficit of its forecast period in 2027, about $255 billion of unsecured bonds sold this year, and a 32-gigawatt U.S. data center power shortfall through 2028.
- Oracle Is Down More Than a Third in 2026 Even as TD Cowen Flags Possible Nvidia Support. Here’s Where the Stock Could Go by 2031
Oracle closed at $129.13 on October 21, down 34% in 2026 even after cloud infrastructure revenue grew 121% last quarter. TD Cowen analyst Michael Elias wrote on October 20 that his checks suggest Nvidia may be providing credit support for some Oracle data center leases, either by guaranteeing lease payments or by leasing facilities and subleasing them to Oracle; neither company has confirmed it. First-quarter free cash flow was negative $5.4 billion despite record operating cash flow of $23.1 billion, and net debt stands at $132.1 billion. The company has also used prepayments and supplier financing to reduce the cash it spends on capacity. The Wall Street Journal reported that banks disclosing California filings held liens covering 87 million Oracle shares pledged by co-founder Larry Ellison for personal loans, up from about 30 million a year earlier, and Oracle says none of the pledged stock sits in margin accounts.
- Nutanix and Netris Announce Strategic Collaboration to Deliver a Multitenant Infrastructure Stack from Compute to Network for Neoclouds and NVIDIA Cloud Partner Environments
Nutanix and Netris announced a strategic collaboration to deliver a jointly engineered multitenant infrastructure stack for neoclouds and enterprises, combining Nutanix Cloud Platform with the Netris NAAM platform. The solution is designed to help neoclouds launch secure, NVIDIA GPU-accelerated IaaS offerings faster and meet NVIDIA's technical requirements for multitenant services. It automatically configures the physical network as tenant resources are provisioned, offers cloud-style self-service networking through a web console, REST API and Terraform, and enforces tenant isolation from virtual workloads down to the physical switches. The companies say enterprises will be able to run business-critical AI workloads on multitenant GPU infrastructure with hard isolation between tenants.
- History Says Nvidia Stock Does This in November. Here's the 1 Thing That Could Break the Pattern.
Nvidia shares have gained 899% over the past five years (as of Oct. 15), and November has been mostly positive this decade, with the only decline coming in November 2025, when the stock fell 13%. Data center revenue rose 117% year over year to $89 billion in fiscal Q2 2027, with hyperscalers contributing about $49 billion. The article argues the key risk to this pattern is hyperscaler capital spending, which depends on the momentum of their cloud businesses. Hyperscaler backlogs have exceeded $2 trillion, and four of the top five will report third-quarter results within two weeks. If cloud growth slows, hyperscalers may cut capex, which would weigh on Nvidia's data center business.
- Prediction: SpaceX Will Be the Biggest Winner If Neoclouds Collapse
Gartner predicts that 80% of neocloud companies will no longer exist by 2030, a forecast that has hit neocloud stocks and could itself trigger the collapses it anticipates. The author argues that if funding dries up, SpaceX would be the biggest winner, as it is arguably a neocloud itself with major compute deals, including $1.25 billion a month from Anthropic for over 300 megawatts of computing power and $920 million a month from Alphabet for 110,000 Nvidia GPUs. Thanks to its investment-grade rating, GPU-backed financing and high valuation, SpaceX has a much lower cost of capital than rivals and could buy distressed hardware, power access and data center sites at steep discounts. Its close ties to Nvidia could also help it secure GPU clusters in any distressed sale.

- Proposal to Raise Land Auction Deposits to 50% to Curb Deposit Forfeiture?
The government proposes raising auction deposits to as much as 50% of the starting price to curb abnormally high bids followed by deposit forfeiture. In Thanh Oai district, Hanoi (August 2024), only 13 of 68 plots had their winning bidders complete financial obligations, while all plots won at VND 80 million to over VND 100 million per square metre were forfeited. A more serious case in Sóc Sơn (late November 2024) led to criminal prosecution of six people who deliberately pushed up bids on 36 plots, causing losses of nearly VND 420 million. Lawyer Phạm Ngọc Thanh warned that such price manipulation could create land price levels without basis and push sale prices above reasonable value. Experts say a 20-50% deposit should be carefully assessed, as it may limit access for genuine buyers, while wealthy speculators can still meet it easily.
- Sorrow for Technology Stocks on Vietnam's Stock Market
Leading technology stocks on Vietnam's exchange, including FPT, CMG and VNZ, have all fallen sharply from their record highs. FPT's market capitalization is about VND 105,000 billion, its lowest since August 2023; CMG is trading near its lowest level since September 2021; and VNG's market value is about VND 16,000 billion. The article says the rapid growth of AI, especially cheaper AI models that reduce demand for outsourcing services, may be one reason foreign investors have pulled back, with FPT net sold by more than VND 16,000 billion since early 2026, the second-largest net sale on the exchange. FPT's leadership has repeatedly said AI will reshape rather than replace IT services, and the group's workforce across its ecosystem reached nearly 90,000 people as of 30 September 2026, up 3,682 from the end of 2025.
- Brazilian companies turned to stablecoins on election day to dodge a currency crash
On Brazil's election day, USDT trading on Mercado Bitcoin jumped nearly 800% and bitcoin volume surged 865% from the previous Sunday, with corporate accounts generating 78% of activity as companies sought to hedge currency risk while traditional markets were closed. Prediction markets had priced opposition candidate Flávio Bolsonaro as a roughly 80% favorite, but incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won. On Monday, the Ibovespa fell 14%, its worst performance since March 2020, while the dollar rose more than 8% against the real, its largest daily gain since 1999. A Mercado Bitcoin analyst said stablecoins offer a simple way to move part of assets into dollars, while USDT/BRL trading on Binance more than tripled.
- OpenAI Proves ETH Is False, and Crypto Twitter Has Questions
OpenAI says its AI has disproved the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), a 1999 computer-science conjecture unrelated to Ethereum. The hypothesis holds that 3-SAT cannot be solved much faster than trying every combination, and hundreds of papers rely on it. OpenAI's 67-page paper, dated October 17 and revised October 25, describes a deterministic algorithm that counts satisfying assignments in subexponential time. Impagliazzo, Paturi, and MIT's Ryan Williams lead the independent review but stress that their involvement is not certification of the claim. Anthropic separately posted a Claude-credited paper dated October 26 on 3-SAT, which says its result is purely asymptotic and does not address solving formulas in practice.
- 3 Energy Stocks I'm Not Selling, No Matter What the Market Does
The author lists recent concerns for AI-linked energy stocks, including a rise in the cost of insuring CoreWeave's bonds against default and Meta Platforms' silence on its 2027 capital expenditure plans. Constellation Energy (CEG), Vistra (VST), and Bloom Energy (BE) have fallen 36% to 38% from their all-time highs, but the author says the long-term thesis is unchanged and will keep holding all three. Constellation signed a 3.6 GW, 20-year PPA with Alphabet's Google, while Vistra secured a $4.2 billion U.S. Department of Energy commitment to finance 433 MW of nuclear uprates. Bloom's quarterly revenue grew 138% year over year to $1.2 billion, and its full-year revenue guidance was raised to $4.5 billion at the midpoint. Forward earnings multiples for Constellation and Vistra have fallen to 21 and 16, from about 43 and 37 last year.
- Micron’s Long-Term Returns Crushed the S&P 500. Does the Recent Drop Matter?
Micron shares have fallen 15.44% in a month, from $1,082.10 on September 25 to $915.07. Despite the drop, a $1,000 investment held for 10 years grew to $54,576.30, while the S&P 500 over the same period reached $3,610.10. Fiscal 2026 revenue reached $133.19 billion, up 256.3%, as high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI accelerators reshaped the business. The article asks whether AI-fueled momentum will continue or whether this is the start of a familiar memory-cycle crash. It points to whether memory supply stays tight through 2028 and whether AI infrastructure spending slows as the two signals to watch.
