- Chinese Tech Giants Order $35 Billion In Compliant Nvidia Chips
Two sources told Reuters that ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent have ordered more than 3 million RTX PRO 5500 cards from Nvidia, worth over $35 billion at about $11,400 each. The workstation chip is less powerful than the H200 and B300 data center chips, but it is among the most powerful Nvidia chips Chinese buyers can still obtain. Nvidia may not fill all orders: partners might get only 5% to 10% of what they asked for, total Chinese orders have topped 6 million cards, and one source said Nvidia could make no more than 3 million cards globally in 2027. Early samples are expected in December, with commercial deliveries starting in the first quarter of 2027, mainly for AI inference. Nvidia blamed outdated US export controls and China's own limit on US imports, and its outlook does not include any China data center compute revenue.
- Nvidia Reportedly Sees Alibaba, ByteDance, Tencent Order $35B In RTX PRO 5500 Chips Amid US Export Curbs
Reuters reported that Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance and other Chinese firms have ordered over $70 billion worth of Nvidia's RTX PRO 5500 workstation graphics cards, with the three named companies accounting for more than 3 million units worth over $35 billion. Total orders from Chinese customers exceed 6 million units. Nvidia reportedly told partners it cannot guarantee fulfillment because demand exceeds planned production, and one source said it may deliver only 5% to 10% of the total order amount. The orders come as U.S. export controls bar sales of Nvidia's Blackwell-based B300 and limit H200 sales to case-by-case approval. Chinese companies reportedly want the less powerful RTX PRO 5500 mainly for AI inference, and NVDA stock edged 0.18% lower in pre-market trade.
- ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent order $35 billion of Nvidia chips: Reuters
Nvidia has told customers it cannot guarantee fulfilling orders for its RTX PRO 5500 graphics cards, as demand from Chinese tech companies exceeds planned production, according to Reuters. ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent ordered more than 3 million cards worth over $35 billion, at about $11,400 each. Nvidia reportedly told partners they might receive only 5% to 10% of requested quantities, and it can produce no more than 3 million RTX PRO 5500 cards globally in 2027. Total orders from Chinese customers exceed 6 million units. The RTX PRO 5500 is among the most powerful Nvidia chips still available to Chinese buyers under U.S. export restrictions, which bar the B300 and require case-by-case licensing for the H200.

- DeepSeek teams up with Huawei to challenge Nvidia
DeepSeek is working with Huawei Technologies to design AI chips tailored to its models, with Huawei engineers stationed at its offices to incorporate feedback. DeepSeek plans to use Huawei's Ascend 950DT chips for model training as soon as the end of 2026, and Huawei plans to prioritize DeepSeek for most of its Ascend 960DT chips expected in the first quarter of 2027. According to Epoch AI, Nvidia's B300 delivers roughly seven times the raw arithmetic performance of Huawei's Ascend 950, and training a frontier model could require more than 10,000 Huawei chips working together for weeks. DeepSeek is also using the open-source TileLang to reduce reliance on Nvidia's CUDA ecosystem, while still seeking access to Nvidia's advanced processors. If the collaboration succeeds, it could offer a blueprint for other AI developers and a major step in reducing China's dependence on US technology.
- US chip bans help Huawei: Nvidia down to 34% of China market
According to IDC data cited by Reuters and TechNode, Nvidia's share of AI chips for data centers in China fell to 34% in the first half of 2026, with the company shipping 678,000 chips, down 44% from a year earlier. Huawei was the biggest beneficiary, shipping 572,000 chips, up sharply from more than 300,000 a year earlier, and holding a 28% share. The article attributes the shift to tightening U.S. export restrictions on advanced chips, which pushed Chinese data centers to move orders to domestic suppliers. The top five domestic chip designers now account for 47% of AI chip consumption in China, surpassing Nvidia. For Vietnam, the article notes that as Chinese software is optimized for Huawei and Alibaba chips, technical leaders will need to weigh software compatibility to avoid being caught between the two diverging technology standards.

Latest news
- Zcash Leads Crypto Bounce, Surging 8.5% as Bitcoin Reclaims $83,000
Crypto markets rebounded on Tuesday, led by Zcash, which rose 8.5% in 24 hours to $1,215.85 and lifted its market cap to $20.57 billion. Bitcoin gained 1.57% to $83,195 and Ethereum climbed 2.90% to $2,463.35, while total crypto market cap rose 1.68% to $2.78 trillion. Zcash had fallen about 25% over the past month, so the bounce partly reflects an oversold market where forced liquidations of leveraged bets had already worked through selling pressure. Macro risks remain high, with Brent crude near $110 a barrel and the 10-year Treasury yield above 5%, and traders are watching the Federal Reserve's upcoming policy meeting.
- The Coinbase allegations expose Bitcoin's corporate governance gap
Onramp CEO Michael Tanguma argues that corporate bitcoin adoption will stall until companies can show who controls the funds, who approves transfers and whether the assets still exist. BlockTower Capital founder Ari Paul accused Coinbase of losing roughly $25 million of his firm's assets and concealing more than $1 billion in hacks across a dozen institutions; Coinbase denies this, and Paul says ongoing litigation prevents him from publishing his evidence, so outsiders cannot verify either claim. Unlike corporate bank or brokerage accounts, bitcoin often sits behind a single exchange login or hardware wallet, as when QuadrigaCX's CEO died in 2018 holding the only keys and about $190 million in customer assets was lost. A Deloitte survey of 200 CFOs found that the complexity of accounting and controls held back 42% of respondents, while more than 360 physical attacks on holders have been logged since 2014. The author argues that multisignature custody, native to bitcoin's protocol, can distribute risk instead of concentrating it in one person or company.
- Margin Debt Hits Record Near 440,000 Billion VND as Bank-Backed Brokerages Surge
Market-wide margin debt is estimated at about 440,000 billion VND at the end of the third quarter, up 5,000 billion in the quarter and a record high. Total brokerage lending, including margin and advances on sales, is about 455,000 billion VND, also a record and up 10,000 billion from the previous quarter. Twelve brokerages with bank backing hold more than half of that total, at about 240,000 billion VND, after rising nearly 14,000 billion in the quarter, faster than the sector overall. TCBS remains the largest with nearly 55,000 billion VND, while VPBankS has moved ahead of SSI into second place. The article notes that part of this lending comes from deals with institutions and company executives rather than from retail investors' leverage.
- AI's next canary in the coal mine: Is it OpenAI, memory, or something else?
Panelists on the Market Hang segment of Wall Street Skinny discuss the next “canary in the coal mine” for AI sentiment. Kristen Kelly is watching Anthropic's S1 filing and whether Anthropic and OpenAI can turn revenue growth into profits and cash flow. Amy Wu Silverman of RBC Capital Markets flags a highly dispersed market with low correlation and suppressed VIX, warning that any rise in correlation could unwind trades that sell volatility. Kevin Mahn of Hennion & Walsh sees two risks: Hormuz staying closed well past the midterm elections, keeping oil above $100 and possibly $110 a barrel, which could push the Federal Reserve to raise rates; and memory chips, where Micron's backlog could signal demand for Nvidia.
- Meta Stock Climbed 25% in September. Here’s Why There’s More Upside Ahead
Meta Platforms stock gained about 25% in September, while the S&P 500 rose less than 1%, though Meta has given back some of those gains in October. Heavy AI spending has pressured profits: second-quarter revenue rose 28% year over year to $60.8 billion, but income from operations fell 8% to $18.8 billion and free cash flow dropped 91% to $784 million. The article points to positive signs, including the Muse AI agent, free up to usage limits, rising to the top of the iOS free app download charts, plans to charge retailers transaction fees, and a strong core ad business. On legal risks, Meta will pay roughly $12.7 billion to U.S. states over a 10-year period, plus $5.3 billion contingent on certain conditions, and the author argues the company is well equipped to handle its remaining lawsuits. The stock trades at 22.1x forward earnings, versus 19.1x for information technology stocks.
- Solar Stocks Rebound as Selloff Reverses: Sunrun Surges 10%, SolarEdge and Enphase Energy Climb 5%
Solar stocks rebounded after a heavy selloff, with Sunrun (RUN) up 10% to $7.59, recovering part of its slide to a 52-week low. SolarEdge (SEDG) and Enphase Energy (ENPH) each rose 5%, the Invesco Solar ETF (TAN) gained 1%, and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) rose 0.3%. Sunrun cut its full-year 2026 outlook, with Aggregate Subscriber Value now $4.6 billion to $4.9 billion and Cash Generation targeted at $200 million to $375 million, citing softer affiliate channel volumes, a slower direct sales ramp and higher capital costs. Its Q2 2026 subscriber additions fell 31% year over year to 19,793, even as its storage attachment rate hit a record 74%. The article says the rebound could offer upside, but investors should stay measured until questions about guidance and the sales-force ramp are resolved.
