Nvidia said it is still selecting a firm to search for a successor to ousted leader Jensen Huang and has not begun talks with potential chief executive candidates, tamping down speculation about who will run the chipmaker, Bloomberg reported.
"We have not formally engaged with any potential candidates," Nvidia said in a statement. "Any speculation regarding individual candidates, whether internal or external, is premature."
The statement followed a Financial Times report that the board had approached Arm Holdings Chief Executive Officer Rene Haas about the job. Arm shares fell nearly 10% in New York on Friday before paring the losses.
Nvidia, the world's largest chipmaker, officially cut ties with Huang on Thursday over a widening scandal involving extramarital affairs and reports that he was targeted by a suspected Chinese spy. He ran the company for three decades and built it into the powerhouse at the centre of the AI computing boom.

Bitcoin Core disclosed a vulnerability in which Tor traffic bundled with Bitcoin Core by service providers was treated as local traffic. According to Odaily, Bitcoin News said on X that nodes with allowlists enabled consequently relaxed spam and privacy restrictions for external nodes, allowing them to inherit “trusted” status across thousands of nodes. The flaw was fixed in October 2025, and details were disclosed two weeks after Bitcoin Core ended support for the 29.x series. A separate high-severity vulnerability could prevent mining nodes from building valid blocks until they are restarted. No related attacks have been reported, and nodes without allowlists are unaffected.

According to ChainCatcher citing Bitcoin Magazine, Bitcoin attorney Joe Carlasare said in a video interview that the market is in one of the worst phases he has seen, but that extreme fear is why he is buying. He noted that Bitcoin rose from $57,000 to $82,000 in less than 90 days this year, challenging the view that capital cannot flow back into the market. A move to $80,000-$90,000 could draw technical traders and momentum investors off the sidelines, he said, while a return to $100,000 could quickly change the market narrative.
Carlasare described early-holder selling that weighed on Bitcoin in 2025 as a healthy shakeout. He said rising yields reflect economic growth rather than a debt crisis and advised watching seasonal inflation and the lag in Federal Reserve policy. He also said investment outcomes are about 90% dependent on psychology, argued that Bitcoin needs a serious quantum-computing response to attract new capital, and said divided government could support markets.

The New York Stock Exchange selected Avalanche to settle tokenized stocks, while Goldman Sachs, Citi and other participants committed about $270 million to a joint stablecoin project.

Nvidia director and second-largest shareholder Mark Stevens sold about $946 million in company shares in three rounds before CEO Jensen Huang resigned on November 12. According to Sina Finance, SEC filings show Stevens did not use a prearranged 10b5-1 trading plan and was among the largest insider sellers in the U.S. AI sector in the third quarter of 2026.
Stevens sold $411 million in shares from August 31 to September 2 at $220 to $226 per share, about $236 million from September 3 to September 4 at $227 to $234 per share, and about $300 million on September 18 at around $220 per share. He still holds a large Nvidia stake. The first two sales followed the company’s release of its second-quarter fiscal 2027 results, after which its shares rose sharply over the following week.
10b5-1 plans let executives trade company shares according to preset dates or prices. The SEC introduced the system in 2000 and revised its rules in 2022, adding requirements including a cooling-off period. The article noted that Stevens’s decision not to use such a plan does not by itself indicate wrongdoing, and that insiders may sell shares for various reasons.
Earlier reports alleged Huang had a relationship with Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell. On November 12, Nvidia’s board announced Huang’s resignation, praised his leadership, and named Colette Kress interim CEO. The board said it expected company operations, customer commitments, and the product roadmap to continue without disruption. Nvidia shares traded on November 13 and had fallen about 15% over recent trading sessions; the company’s market capitalization had also declined since early October.

SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk’s two largest companies, could announce a merger as soon as December, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. A deal would bring together about 30,220 bitcoin, worth roughly $2.1 billion.The boards and their advisers are working out terms and how the combined company would be run. The announcement could still slip into early 2027, according to the report.SpaceX Holds 18,712 BTC, Tesla 11,509SpaceX held 18,712 bitcoin at the end of September and Tesla held 11,509, according to their quarterly filings. Both companies reported the same balances as at the end of December 2025, meaning neither has bought or sold bitcoin this year.At Friday’s price near $69,000, the combined holding is worth about $2.1 billion.A Small Slice of a $3.4 Trillion GroupThe bitcoin would be a tiny part of the combined company. SpaceX is valued at more than $1.9 trillion after its June IPO, and Tesla at about $1.5 trillion, for a combined market value of about $3.4 trillion. The bitcoin would make up about 0.06% of that.A merger on its own would not require either company to buy more bitcoin. It would simply combine holdings already on their books.

dYdX has opened an on-chain vote on a software upgrade to version 9.9 that would shift the backing for USDC on dYdX Chain from Noble USDC to Injective USDC. According to Foresight News, the dYdX Foundation said the vote will end on November 16 at 19:32. The upgrade would add a Canonical USDC module following Circle’s plan to discontinue USDC on Noble; the on-chain USDC token identifier and user balances would remain unchanged.
After the migration begins, USDC deposits would only be accepted through Injective. Deposits from Noble, including CCTP transfers routed through Noble, would be rejected and returned. Withdrawals could go to either Noble or Injective, but not to other chains. Once the Noble-backed supply is cleared, withdrawals to Noble would be disabled with governance approval. Deposits and withdrawals would automatically pause if on-chain USDC is not fully backed, while trading would remain unaffected. If the vote passes, the upgrade is expected to be completed around November 18 at 01:00.

MANTRA will suspend all unstaking transactions for seven days following a security incident involving Web3Auth and Keplr, and users with unstaking in progress must redelegate their tokens. According to Foresight News, the pause will be reviewed when the seven-day period ends, and MANTRA may extend it.
The incident involved leaked private keys that allowed hackers to steal users’ unstaked MANTRA tokens and initiate unstaking of staked tokens without their consent. The suspension does not affect unstaking already in progress; affected users must redelegate before the eight-day unstaking period ends to prevent hackers from claiming the tokens and transferring them to addresses users cannot control. After redelegation, further unstaking will be paused during the freeze.
MANTRA previously froze several hacker wallets through Governance Proposal No. 41. The private-key leak stemmed from a vulnerability in Web3Auth infrastructure and affected some Keplr wallets in the Cosmos ecosystem whose users logged in through Google or Apple.

SpaceX’s AI team has cut most of the research and development staff working on Grok Imagine, its image- and video-generation tool, people familiar with the matter said. According to Sina Finance, about 60 employees associated with Grok Imagine were laid off last week, leaving a small team to keep the product running. The tool remains usable, but its future is uncertain without a dedicated development team.
People familiar with the matter said SpaceX shifted its priorities toward AI coding tools and Grok Bot agents after acquiring Musk’s AI company xAI in February in a stock deal valued at $250 billion. In August, SpaceX spent $60 billion to acquire AI coding startup Cursor as part of the shift.
The move resembles OpenAI’s earlier change in direction. OpenAI shut down its Sora video-generation tool earlier this year because of high computing costs and refocused on enterprise business and AI coding applications. In March, Musk wrote on X that the next version of Grok Imagine would amaze people and that the company would invest more in it.
Before the layoffs, Grok was one of the few U.S. projects still training video-generation models in-house; Google and Meta also have their own tools. An independent leaderboard ranked Grok Imagine Video 1.5, released in June, 17th for image-to-video generation and 16th for text-to-video generation. SpaceX’s IPO filing said the system generated more than 2 million videos per month on average in the quarter that included March.
In July, Musk said Grok Imagine would produce a full-length AI film based on Homer’s Odyssey, promising historical accuracy and fidelity to the original style. A clip of the first seven minutes, released last month, drew negative reviews.

Musk said the decision was made by U.S. President Donald Trump; Starshield is owned and controlled by the U.S. government, while Starlink is a commercial SpaceX service. Mittal said Starlink’s laser links let data bypass Indian ground stations, unlike OneWeb’s system; Tech Insider reported that the design conflicts with India’s security rules.
Jio Platforms, owned by Mukesh Ambani, listed Oct. 28 at ₹1,119 ($11.68) in India’s largest IPO and traded near ₹1,400 on Nov. 13. Jio holds 42.6% of fixed broadband lines and 77.5% of 5G home wireless, markets where Starlink could compete once approved. Musk accused Ambani of blocking Starlink; India denied bias and said Starlink filed security papers last. Mittal said in October he would welcome approval days before Musk’s and questioned demand, noting Indians can get 5G for about $3 a month—around one-tenth of satellite service’s price. India’s Cabinet must still set spectrum fees, and the Home Ministry must clear each operator before sales can begin.

Crypto KOL XXAntiWar said the two largest losses this year came from ZEC short positions, both of which were voluntarily closed to limit losses. According to Odaily, XXAntiWar wrote on X that holding either position longer could have led to liquidation.
XXAntiWar said most of the past few months were spent trading ZEC, which generated a net profit of about $20,000. The main sources of profit this year were buying dips in storage-sector stocks and swing trading HYPE.
XXAntiWar recalled expecting ZEC to fall from $1,200 to $800, but the price later rose to $1,600. By the time it retreated to just above $800, XXAntiWar no longer held a short position.
XXAntiWar said futures traders should not hold losing positions or keep adding margin, and cautioned that oversized positions and excessive leverage limit room to adjust. Traders should be prepared to lose all funds placed in a futures account.
