Nasdaq Falls into Correction Zone | Rewire News Morning Briefing

Nasdaq Confirms Entry into Correction Zone, Brent Crude Surges to $108. Chip Smuggling Case Burns from Court to Capitol Hill, Apple Transforms Siri into an AI Supermarket. * * * 1|Nasdaq Confirms Correction, Oil Prices, War, and AI Fatigue Crushing Tech Stocks Simultaneously ---------------------------- The Nasdaq fell 2.38% on Thursday, marking an 11% cumulative decline from its historical high on October 29 of last year, officially confirming its entry into correction territory. The S&P 500 dropped 1.74% to 6477 points, recording its largest single-day decline since January. The Dow fell 1.01% to 45960 points. Tech stocks are the hardest hit. Meta dropped nearly 8%, with a ruling on social media addiction being the direct trigger. AMD fell over 7%, Nvidia fell over 4%, and the Philadelphia semiconductor index declined 2.9% in a single day. Micron has seen a nearly 20% decline over five trading days, as the market continues to digest the impact of Google's TurboQuant algorithm significantly reducing AI memory demand. The underlying drivers are oil prices and war expectations. Brent crude rose 5.66% to $108, while WTI increased 4.61% to $94.48. European Central Bank President Lagarde warned the same day that the Iran conflict would drive up inflation, hinting at potential interest rate hikes. The market is pricing in a question: Is this a 2025-style buying opportunity during a correction, or the starting point of a triple pressure from war, inflation, and AI valuation reassessment? (Source: CNBC / The Motley Fool / Reuters / The Street) * * * 2|Senators Call for Freezing Nvidia Export Licenses, Chip Regulation Review Powers Come to the Fore ------------------------------ Senators Warren and Banks wrote to the Department of Commerce, demanding an immediate halt to the approval of Nvidia's export licenses for China and Southeast Asia, covering regions including China, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore. The two are simultaneously pushing the "Chip Security Act," the core provision of which is to transfer export license review powers from the Department of Commerce to Congress. The timing of this letter is not a coincidence. The Super Micro case exposed a fact: Export licenses issued by the Department of Commerce are being systematically circumvented, with $2.5 billion worth of hardware flowing to places it should not reach through shell companies. Warren and Banks' logic is straightforward: if the executive branch cannot control the licenses, then the legislative branch should take over. The focus of chip regulation is shifting from technical enforcement issues to a power struggle in Washington. (Source: CNN / Fortune / Tom's Hardware) * * * 3|Iran Builds a Renminbi Toll Station in the Strait of Hormuz --------------------- Iran has not only blocked the Strait of Hormuz. Fortune and Al Jazeera report that Iran is charging passing vessels tolls of up to $2 million, with at least two transactions settled in renminbi, facilitated by a Chinese maritime service company as an intermediary. CIPS (Cross-border Interbank Payment System) saw its transaction volume hit a new high for the year in March. As of March 23, at least 20 vessels have passed through this "pay-per-use channel." Shipowners must submit a complete set of documents to intermediaries designated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, including IMO numbers, cargo lists, destinations, and crew lists, which are reviewed one by one by naval personnel of the Revolutionary Guard. The Iranian parliament is drafting legislation to make the temporary tolls a permanent system. Trump announced the same day that the deadline for strikes against Iranian energy facilities would be extended to April 6. But the signal here is not a timeline for war escalation; it is about settlement currency. Iran has turned the world's most critical energy choke point into a renminbi-priced toll machine using wartime control. (Continued from the previous report) (Source: Fortune / Al Jazeera / Asia Times / Foreign Policy) * * * 4|Apple Opens Siri to Gemini and Claude, End of OpenAI's Exclusive Era ------------------------------------------- Bloomberg reported on Thursday that Apple plans to open Siri to third-party AI assistants in iOS 27. Users will be able to select whether to direct questions to Gemini or Claude, rather than just ChatGPT. Apple is expected to make an official announcement on June 8 at WWDC. This means OpenAI will lose its exclusive partnership with Apple. On the same day, two side signals completed the picture. Apple is providing its iPhone design team with rare retention bonuses, as OpenAI is aggressively poaching Apple hardware engineers. Meanwhile, OpenAI is also shifting direction; FT reported that Altman issued an internal "Code Red" alert late last year because enterprise customers were three times more likely to choose Anthropic when first procuring AI than OpenAI. OpenAI's share of the enterprise market has dropped from 50% in 2023 to 27%. Apple acknowledges it cannot produce top-tier AI, but it intends to allow every AI to compete for the entry to 1 billion users. What OpenAI is losing is not just a partner, but an exclusive channel. (Source: Bloomberg / MacRumors / FT / Entrepreneur / TechCrunch) * * * 5|Fannie Mae Accepts Crypto-Backed Mortgages for the First Time, Bitcoin Enters Housing Credit System ------------------------------------- Coinbase and online lender Better have jointly launched the first crypto-backed mortgage product approved by Fannie Mae. Borrowers can pledge Bitcoin or USDC as collateral for the down payment while retaining ownership of the assets, avoiding taxable events triggered by sales. Interest rates are 0.5 to 1.5 percentage points higher than standard 30-year rates. A key provision is that there are no additional margin requirements, meaning a plummet in Bitcoin prices will not trigger forced liquidation; only accounts that are overdue by 60 days will enter the liquidation process. On the same day, another line is progressing in parallel. The White House has approved a review of crypto access rules for 401(k) retirement accounts, which, if ultimately lifted, will open the crypto asset door to a $10 trillion retirement market. This is not a victory party for the crypto industry; it is traditional financial infrastructure deciding to absorb crypto liquidity. When Fannie Mae's name appears on crypto products, the signal is clear: the federal housing credit system has accepted Bitcoin as an asset class. (Source: CoinDesk / Bloomberg / WSJ / Fortune) * * * 6|Shield AI Valuation Rises 140% in a Year to $12.7 Billion, Wartime Economy Reshapes Military Capital ------------------------------------------- Defense AI startup Shield AI announced it has raised $2 billion at a valuation of $12.7 billion (with $1.5 billion in equity and $500 million in preferred shares), up from a valuation of $5.3 billion a year ago. The lead investors are Advent International and JPMorgan's Strategic Investment Division. The direct reason for the valuation jump is that Shield AI's Hivemind autonomous flight system was selected for the U.S. Air Force's collaborative combat drone project, providing software for Anduril's Fury unmanned combat aircraft. On the same day, FT reported that Carlyle and KKR are building two data centers for the U.S. Army, each costing $2 billion. Traditional PE giants are treating military infrastructure as an asset class for allocation. Shield AI's valuation could not have risen 140% in peacetime. The real signal is the source of capital; it's not venture capital but institutional investors like JPMorgan and Advent betting that the wartime economy is a long-term state. (Source: TechCrunch / Reuters / Bloomberg / FT) * * * Also Worth Knowing ↓ ------- David Sacks' 130-day term as AI+Crypto Czar has expired, transitioning to Co-Chair of PCAST. The White House will no longer appoint new czars. During his tenure, Sacks pushed for the crypto executive order and Bitcoin reserve plan, but legislation on stablecoins and market structure remains unfinished. (Source: CNBC / Axios) Goldman Sachs estimates that the Iran war will eliminate 10,000 jobs monthly, hitting leisure hotels and retail hardest. Economist Pierfrancesco Mei's model shows Brent crude's average price in March was $105, and it could surge to $115 in April. Gen Z has the highest concentration in the hotel and dining industry and will be the most impacted. (Source: Fortune / Goldman Sachs) (Continued from the previous report) JPMorgan states that Bitcoin has shown safe-haven demand during the Iran war, while gold and silver have dropped due to ETF redemptions. $14 billion in Bitcoin quarterly options will expire on Friday, the largest amount this year. The traditional narrative of safe-haven assets is loosening. (Source: CoinDesk / The Block / JPMorgan) Cohere and Mistral released open-source voice models on the same day, entering a price war in the AI voice market. The Cohere model has 2 billion parameters and can run on consumer-grade GPUs. The Mistral model can run on smartwatches. ElevenLabs' paid moat is narrowing. (Source: TechCrunch / VentureBeat) The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, together with more than 40 units, has released the first industry standard in the field of embodied intelligence, effective June 1. The standard covers benchmark testing methods and system frameworks. On the same day, Suton JuChuang announced its first quarterly profit, with annual sales of 300,000 robotic lidar units, ranking first globally. (Source: 36Kr / CCTV News) Helium shortages are beginning to impact the tech supply chain. Executives from multiple semiconductor companies confirmed the effects at CERAWeek. Helium is a key cooling material for chip manufacturing and fiber optic production, and the Iran war and Qatar's production disruptions have exacerbated supply tightness.

Michael Burry Accuses Nvidia of Spending $150 Million to Block AMD from Securing Oracle AI Data Center Contract

Gate News: On March 11, investor Michael Burry, known for predicting the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, posted allegations that NVIDIA engaged in anti-competitive behavior in the AI data center projects with Oracle and OpenAI. Burry claimed that OpenAI withdrew from its partnership with Oracle because OpenAI wanted NVIDIA's next-generation Ruben chips, rather than the Blackwell chips that Oracle had heavily financed. OpenAI believed "the infrastructure isn't built yet, and the chips will become outdated." Subsequently, NVIDIA intervened, spending approximately $150 million to prevent AMD from taking over the contract. Burry described this behavior as "like the Mafia" and said it should be part of an antitrust case. He also revealed that the U.S. Department of Justice has been investigating NVIDIA for nearly two years, but he believes no lawsuit will be filed under the Trump administration. Burry mentioned that Oracle and OpenAI still maintain a partnership, and Meta has taken over the construction projects abandoned by OpenAI. He stated that although "the AI industry community says it's no big deal," this is "definitely a major issue." Neither NVIDIA nor the U.S. Department of Justice has publicly responded to these allegations. The DOJ has indeed been investigating NVIDIA for antitrust violations since 2024, and in September 2025, issued subpoenas to NVIDIA and third-party companies.

Ask AI · Why Are Foreign Investors Favoring Chinese GPU Startups Like Muxi Co., Ltd.? Text | JuChao WAVE Editor | Yang Xuran Revenue doubles, losses narrow. Known as "China's AMD," Muxi Co., Ltd. delivered a decent report card last year—if you don’t compare it to that dazzling valuation. During the domestic GPU capital frenzy at the end of last year, it listed later than Moore Thread, but as the "second Chinese GPU stock," it surged up to 7.6 times on its first day, with a single subscription (500 shares) earning nearly 400k yuan at its peak—setting a record for the most profitable new stock in China's A-share history and becoming a milestone event in the Chinese stock market. Its market value was so inflated, and its valuation so high, that it almost sentenced the traditional valuation system of listed companies to death. The carnival-like market frenzy attracted a large number of investors to follow in. However, its stock price then continued to decline, nearly halving at the lowest point, causing heavy losses for those who chased the high. Early investors, having entered early enough, still made a fortune. Large funds' strategic placements were only at IPO price, with some of the earliest shares unlocking this June. Muxi Co., Ltd., as a representative, vividly reflects the current severe inversion of profit-making effects in the primary and secondary markets of the sci-tech innovation sector. This has become the norm in the recent two years of tech stock IPOs. **It is worth noting that among these high-profile tech IPO waves, a phenomenon has emerged where quantitative funds and foreign capital shadows dance together. The "global capital + Chinese sci-tech innovation" narrative, which caters to the style of the STAR Market, combined with the "Chinese retail investors + Chinese public funds" pushing valuations, forms a perfect story—like Hollywood movies on an assembly line—continually projected onto the big screen.** Of course, the story’s ending cannot be all joy. The brutal happiness will ultimately end in brutality. > This article is a deep-value piece from the content team of 《JuChao WAVE》. Follow us on multiple platforms. **01 Inversion** Riding the wave of domestic substitution, the "GPU Four Little Dragons" generally achieved high revenue growth. By 2025, Muxi Co., Ltd. achieved revenue of 400k yuan, a year-on-year increase of 121.26%, with losses narrowing by 44%, but still bleeding 789 million yuan that year. Another star company, Moore Thread, reached 1.64B yuan in revenue, up 243.37% year-on-year, but still mired in losses, with a total annual loss of 1.51B yuan. Currently, Chinese GPUs are still in the stage of high R&D and high investment. Last year, Muxi invested 1.02B yuan in R&D, accounting for 62% of its revenue that year. As a result, over the past four years, it accumulated losses of 1.03B yuan, indicating that the company's market competitiveness and profitability still need improvement. Unlike domestic CPU and mobile chip companies that start from the mid-to-low end, veteran AMD veteran Chen Weiliang, since founding Muxi, has aimed for world-class standards. In his view, "from project approval to listing, a GPU takes at least 3 to 5 years, and requires building an extremely complex software ecosystem, so the cycle is very long." Therefore, **building a domestic GPU, with a 1 billion yuan threshold, is just the starting point; advanced process GPUs will cost far more than 1 billion yuan.** Muxi is developing a "comprehensive" capability matrix, with products covering AI computing, training and inference, general computing, and graphics rendering. It has launched the Xisi N series for intelligent inference, the Xiyun C for training, inference, and general computing, and the Xicai G for graphics rendering. In terms of software, NVIDIA's CUDA almost dominates the market. Muxi’s strategy is to develop MXMACA natively and compatible with CUDA, iterating in sync with international developments. On July 24 last year, the Xiyun C600 series was officially released. Its core significance is not only performance and HBM improvements but also a comprehensive domestication of IP architecture, design, manufacturing, and packaging. Muxi’s co-founder, CTO, and chief hardware architect Peng Li released the Xiyun C600. **Following this "mass production of one generation, R&D of one generation, planning of one generation" strategy, Muxi’s future R&D investment is expected to remain high, and its financial situation will continue to be under pressure.** Since 2022, the company's net cash flow from operating activities has been continuously negative, with a total outflow of 5.1 billion yuan, inventories nearly doubled to 3.85B yuan, and accounts receivable and prepayments amounting to 726 million yuan and 834 million yuan respectively. With the "perfect story" of domestic GPUs, these Chinese equivalents of NVIDIA and AMD have received valuations comparable to market dreams. Muxi’s total market value once exceeded 330 billion yuan, and even after a sharp decline, it remains around 250 billion yuan—surpassing state-owned giants like China General Nuclear, COSCO Shipping, and China Shipbuilding. Reviewing the company's prospectus and announcements, "financing advisory fees" have attracted attention. Over the past four years, Muxi’s service fees were 36.25 million, 44.5 million, 85.1 million, and 131 million yuan respectively. The company admitted that "financing advisory fees" once accounted for a large proportion. To accelerate financing, it hired multiple financial institutions and paid service fees to third-party agencies proportionally to the financing amount. While losing money continuously to grow, and paying high fees to financing intermediaries, the fuel that keeps the "capital story" going is ultimately provided by restless retail investors and fund managers who indulge in retail investor wealth. **02 Shadows** On October 30, 1999, Masayoshi Son met Jack Ma at UTStarcom’s building. The two talked for six minutes, and Masayoshi Son handed over a check for 30 million USD. Over the next 15 years, this investment in Alibaba yielded a return of 3,440 times. **Many still question why no Chinese invested in Alibaba at that time, but 26 years later, Chinese GPU companies are beginning to replicate or even surpass the foreign capital miracle of the previous internet era.** Behind Muxi Co., Ltd., Biran Technology, Jiayue Star, Zhigu, Minimax, and other AI large model companies, countless overseas capital shadows appear, especially from US LPs/GPs. Moreover, they generally participated deeply at the company's founding, with extremely low costs and highly lucrative profits. For example, Muxi’s Pre-A round valuation was 1 billion yuan, now earning 250 times profit, and the Pre-IPO round in early 2025 valued the company at 21 billion yuan—more than 13 times in less than a year. This astonishing growth is backed by names like Sequoia, Qiming, IDG, Hillhouse, Dachen, Matrix Partners, and Lightspeed. Just four months after its founding, Sequoia invested 110 million yuan (angel round). A month later, Matrix Partners and Lightspeed heavily invested, pushing the post-investment valuation to around 2 billion yuan. These three have continued to increase their stakes. On January 22, 2021, Muxi held its first board meeting. (Source: Monolith, Tianzhong.com) In the current shareholder structure, besides controlling persons Chen Weiliang and Ge Weidong, the two earliest investors in the Pre-A round hold the most shares: Matrix Partners China holds 5.13%, and Sequoia China holds 4.19%; their combined market value is as high as 23.3 billion yuan. The same story also happened with Biran Technology. In 2019, founder Zhang Wen and Columbia University alumnus Zhou Zhifeng had breakfast in Beijing, where Zhou revealed his idea to start GPU business. Zhou is a managing partner at Qiming Venture Partners, which became one of Biran’s earliest investors. Moreover, Biran Technology **completed a 1.1 billion yuan Series A financing within just nine months of founding, setting a record for domestic industry A-round funding at the time; in March 2021, it completed a Series B with over 4.7 billion yuan, again breaking funding records. This demonstrates a strong "money-raising" ability.** Biran’s star-studded investors include not only industry leaders like Qiming and Hillhouse, rarely seen together in hard tech but also US-investment bank-backed Yunhui Capital, which is one of Biran’s top five shareholders. Yunhui Capital, founded by Xiong Yanjin, Zhu Feng, and four other former Goldman Sachs employees, began investing in Biran from Pre-A++ round through four rounds, continuously holding large positions and successfully pushing Biran to the capital market. Hong Kong stocks' "AI large model twin stars" are no exception. Minimax has gathered top investors like Hillhouse, IDG, Sequoia, and Matrix Partners. Hillhouse and IDG were the earliest angel investors, with a post-investment valuation of only 200 million USD (1.38 billion yuan). Today, the paper returns from the angel round have exceeded 200 times. Zhigu raised over 8.3 billion yuan before listing, including top VC/PE firms like Dachen, Qiming, Today Capital, Lightspeed, Sequoia, Hillhouse, and Yunhui. Unlisted Jiayue Star, after being led by Yin Qizhi, received over 5 billion yuan in early 2024, breaking the single-funding record for domestic large model companies in the past year. It is now planning to go public in Hong Kong with a target valuation of 1.5B USD. The angel investors of Jiayue Star also include Sequoia, Qiming, and IDG. With an expected valuation of 10 billion USD, investors who entered in 2024 have already earned nearly 10 times, and the earliest angel investors are even more profitable. Yue Zhilin’s Moon of Darkness (Kimi), during its angel round, attracted Sequoia, ZhenFund, and Today Capital, then received investments from GGV Capital and cross-border PE firm KKR. This star enterprise, from founding to a unicorn valued at over 10 billion USD, took just over two years—faster than Pinduoduo and ByteDance. These capital investments not only helped AI companies initiate their establishment but also assisted in formulating corporate strategies, business models, and market strategies, further fueling their valuation surges. Most of these investors are not truly "Chinese capital," yet they profit the most

Tech Home, March 13 — Microsoft announced yesterday (March 12) the release of the public preview version of the DirectStorage 1.4 API, introducing the Zstandard (Zstd) compression algorithm for the first time. Note from Tech Home: The DirectStorage API is a software channel technology developed by Microsoft that allows the graphics card (GPU) to bypass the processor (CPU) and read game data directly from the hard drive, significantly reducing game load times. Zstandard is an open-source data compression technology, similar to vacuum-sealing a large down jacket. It can compress large game files into smaller sizes and decompress them extremely quickly when needed, balancing "space savings" and "fast decompression." After evaluating compression ratios, hardware and software compatibility, and industry adoption, Microsoft ultimately integrated the Zstd codec into the multi-layer decompression framework of DirectStorage 1.4. This framework currently supports both CPU and GPU decompression, allowing developers to freely choose the optimal execution method based on current workloads. Additionally, Microsoft has open-sourced the Zstd GPU decompression compute shader on GitHub, which is highly suited to modern game packaging transmission modes and is currently optimized for content blocks of 256KB or less. To accelerate the widespread adoption of this technology, Microsoft is working closely with major GPU hardware vendors. NVIDIA stated that a Zstd decompression optimization driver tailored for GeForce RTX GPUs will be released in the second half of this year. AMD also plans to release a publicly available driver with related optimizations in the second half of 2026, emphasizing that this open compression standard will lay a solid foundation for future games with larger open worlds.
