Nvidia stock hit a new record on Tuesday, rising almost 3% and lifting the company’s market value above $4.5 trillion. The shares have now climbed 39% since the start of the year. This gain comes as the company accelerates its deal-making, placing itself firmly in the middle of the global artificial intelligence race. Investors continue to move money into Nvidia, keeping it the most traded name in the market this year. The AI buildout driving Nvidia’s surge gained more weight last week. OpenAI confirmed that Nvidia would take an equity stake worth up to $100 billion in the AI firm. It also said it would spend hundreds of billions of dollars on new data centers stacked with Nvidia GPUs. OpenAI and Oracle then announced plans for five new mega data centers. They said these facilities would hold hundreds of thousands of GPUs and cost $500 billion under what they call the “Stargate” project.  According to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, the company’s chips now make up about 70% of spending on new AI data centers. Citi lifts Nvidia target as AI deals expand Analysts reacted quickly to the news. Citi raised its price target on Nvidia from $200 to $210 on Tuesday. The bank cited a bigger forecast for AI infrastructure spending after the OpenAI announcements. “We believe OpenAI came to Nvidia asking for help as Nvidia has a very compelling product, and as the number of users and compute being consumed per user basis is growing,” wrote Citi analyst Atif Malik in a note reported by Cryptopolitan. Beyond Nvidia, Wall Street itself showed unexpected strength for September. Stocks closed higher Tuesday as investors brushed aside fears of a U.S. government shutdown. The S&P 500 closed up 0.41% at 6,688.46, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.30% to finish at 22,660.01. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 81.82 points, or 0.18%, to close at 46,397.89, a fresh closing high. The federal government is due to run out of funding at midnight. President Donald Trump said Tuesday about a possible shutdown that “nothing is inevitable, but I would say it’s probably likely.” Nvidia leads as indexes post strong September gains Software stocks struggled during the day. Paychex slipped 1% after its quarterly results and Salesforce fell 3%. Nvidia was a bright spot, climbing in sympathy with CoreWeave, which is backed by Nvidia. Cryptopolitan reported that CoreWeave announced a $14.2 billion artificial intelligence cloud infrastructure deal with Meta Platforms, adding another reason for traders to pile into Nvidia stock. Despite these mixed moves, all three major U.S. indexes are on track for strong monthly gains as September ends. The S&P 500, which has averaged a 4.2% drop in September over the last five years, has risen 3% this month. The Dow is up 1%. The Nasdaq outperformed with a 5% gain in September. Tuesday also marks the end of the third quarter. Quarter to date, the S&P 500 is up 7%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq is set to notch an 11% quarterly gain. The blue-chip Dow has climbed 5% since June, making it five straight quarterly advances. Some analysts also pointed to other AI-related moves. BTIG analyst Marvin Fong wrote in a note that Etsy’s partnership with OpenAI’s ChatGPT puts the e-commerce platform “at the leading edge of agentic commerce.” He raised his price target on Etsy by $9 to $81, suggesting about 9% upside from the most recent close of $74.34. “Investors are clearly paying for more than just the immediate impact of this transaction,” Fong wrote. “Furthermore, we see ChatGPT’s scale, the [total addressable market] unlock, future agentic innovation and the fact we viewed ETSY as undervalued to begin with as justifying today’s price action.” If you're reading this, you’re already ahead.

Vitalik Buterin lays out new Ethereum roadmap at EDCON

Vitalik Buterin lays out new Ethereum roadmap at EDCON

The post Vitalik Buterin lays out new Ethereum roadmap at EDCON appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. At EDCON 2025 in Osaka, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin delivered fresh details of Ethereum’s technical roadmap, delineating both short-term scaling goals and longer-term protocol transformations. The immediate priority, according to slides from the presentation, is scaling at the L1 level by raising the gas limit while maintaining decentralization. Tools such as block-level access lists, ZK-EVMs, gas repricing, and slot optimization were highlighted as means to improve throughput and efficiency. A central theme of the presentation was privacy, divided into protections for on-chain “writes” (transactions, voting, DeFi operations) and “reads” (retrieving blockchain state). Write privacy could be achieved through client-side zero-knowledge proofs, encrypted voting, and mixnet-based transaction relays. Read privacy efforts include trusted execution environments, private information retrieval techniques, dummy queries to obscure access patterns, and partial state nodes that reveal only necessary data. These measures aim to reduce information leakage across both ends of user interaction. In the medium term, Ethereum’s focus shifts to cross-Layer-2 interoperability. Vitalik described trustless L2 asset transfers, proof aggregation, and faster settlement mechanisms as key milestones toward a seamless rollup ecosystem. Faster slots and stronger finality, supported by techniques like erasure coding and three-stage finalization (3SF), are also in scope to enhance responsiveness and security. The roadmap also includes Stage 2 rollup advancements to strengthen verification efficiency, alongside a call for broader community participation to help build and maintain these improvements. The long-term “Lean Ethereum” blueprint emphasizes security, simplicity and optimization, with ambitions for quantum-resistant cryptography, formal verification of the protocol, and adoption of ideal primitives for hashing, signatures, and zero-knowledge proofs. Buterin stressed that these improvements are not just for scalability but to make Ethereum a stable, trustworthy foundation for the broader decentralized ecosystem. This is a developing story.
