PANews reported on September 28th that according to Cointelegraph, Ray Youssef, founder of the peer-to-peer lending platform NoOnes, pointed out that the current rise of crypto asset reserve companies is similar to the investment frenzy during the dot-com bubble and carries significant market risks. He believes that although the entry of institutions marks the entry of cryptocurrencies into a mainstream asset class, most reserve companies will find it difficult to sustain and may be forced to sell their holdings, triggering the next bear market. Only a few companies will be able to continue accumulating assets at a discount. Youssef stressed that companies can improve their survivability if they adopt prudent strategies. Reducing debt burden is key. Issuing new shares is safer than borrowing to finance, and can avoid facing debt repayment pressure during market downturns. Debt maturities should be set reasonably, such as spanning a typical four-year market cycle, to reduce liquidity risks. In terms of asset selection, focus should be placed on cryptocurrencies with a capped supply or blue-chip assets with long-term resilience, rather than altcoins that are highly volatile and may permanently depreciate. In addition, companies with actual businesses and sources of income have advantages over pure asset reserve companies, which lack continuous cash flow, rely solely on financing operations, and have weaker risk resistance. Through responsible asset and risk management, some companies can not only withstand market downturns, but even achieve growth against the trend.PANews reported on September 28th that according to Cointelegraph, Ray Youssef, founder of the peer-to-peer lending platform NoOnes, pointed out that the current rise of crypto asset reserve companies is similar to the investment frenzy during the dot-com bubble and carries significant market risks.

Huawei goes public with chip ambitions, boosting China’s tech autonomy post-Nvidia

The post Huawei goes public with chip ambitions, boosting China’s tech autonomy post-Nvidia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Huawei publicly revealed its full chip roadmap on Thursday during its annual Connect conference in Shanghai, confirming it would begin releasing some of the world’s most powerful computing systems in a push to reduce China’s reliance on Nvidia and other foreign chipmakers, according to Reuters. Eric Xu, Huawei’s rotating chairman, disclosed that the company had developed its own high-bandwidth memory, a technology previously led by Samsung and SK Hynix. Xu said, “We will follow a 1-year release cycle and double compute with each release,” making it clear Huawei now intends to release next-gen chips and hardware annually with increased processing capabilities. The announcement came just days before U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet on Friday, following trade talks between both countries earlier in the week. The move is widely seen as an attempt by Beijing to project confidence in its tech ecosystem as U.S.-China tensions continue to grow. Huawei releases full schedule for Ascend, Kunpeng chips, and computing clusters Huawei detailed the timeline for its AI chip series Ascend, starting with the 910C, which was released earlier this year. The Ascend 950 will launch in 2026 with two variants. The 960 will follow in 2027, and the 970 is scheduled for 2028. Huawei also confirmed its Kunpeng server chips will receive updates in 2026 and 2028. China’s chip war with the U.S. escalated this week as Nvidia was accused of violating China’s anti-monopoly law, and several large Chinese tech firms were ordered to cancel Nvidia AI chip orders. Financial Times reported that government regulators had also instructed distributors to stop placing new Nvidia orders. One executive in China’s chip distribution industry said his company was told verbally to stop buying Nvidia chips and was only allowed to sell current inventory. That executive declined…
