Cipher, IREN and more bitcoin mining stocks get after-hours boost on Nvidia’s blowout Q3 earnings

With markets continuing their downward trend on Wednesday, the world's largest public company helped stymie the "sell" button with a strong quarterly earnings print.

GPU maker Nvidia reported third-quarter revenue of $57 billion and projected fourth-quarter revenue between $63.7 and $66.3 billion, well above the consensus estimate of $61.98 billion. Of note, Nvidia CFO Colette Kress said on the earnings call that the useful life of GPUs is being extended.

The positive news from the $4.5 trillion company sent its own shares up 5%, and had a ripple effect on the crypto sector. After falling under the $89,000 level earlier in the day, the price of bitcoin perked up to around $91,000 at publication time, according to The Block's price data. Meanwhile, investors also bought into several bitcoin mining stocks after closing the day down red.

Cipher Mining leads the pack, trading up more than 13% in after-hours trading. IREN was up about 10%, followed closely by Bitfarms, TeraWulf, and CleanSpark. MARA, the largest bitcoin mining stock by market cap, was up a more modest 4%.

The demand for data center capacity has surged along with the artificial intelligence movement in recent years, and, as a result, several bitcoin miners have pivoted some of their operations to handle AI/HPC infrastructure. Earlier this month, for example, IREN inked a $9.7 billion AI cloud deal with Microsoft, while Cipher Mining unveiled a $5.5 billion AI hosting deal with Amazon Web Services.

"Why did BTC miners sell off doubly on AI bubble fears? IREN (eg) is issuing debt to buy GPUs. Interest rate on loans is directly (inversely) related to GPU demand/supply balance. Falling BTC + widening spreads = double whammy given the capex needs," said Matthew Sigel, VanEck's head of digital asset research, in a post on X.

Last month, JPMorgan analysts said bitcoin mining stocks have decoupled from BTC's price, with their market caps rising sharply since July even as bitcoin has remained range-bound.

Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s Bold Plan to Stay Quantum-Secure and Simple!

Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s Bold Plan to Stay Quantum-Secure and Simple!

Buterin unveils Ethereum’s strategy to tackle quantum security challenges ahead. Ethereum focuses on simplifying architecture while boosting security for users. Ethereum’s market stability grows as Buterin’s roadmap gains investor confidence. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has unveiled his long-term vision for the blockchain, focusing on making Ethereum quantum-secure while maintaining its simplicity for users. Buterin presented his roadmap at the Japanese Developer Conference, and splits the future of Ethereum into three phases: short-term, mid-term, and long-term. Buterin’s most ambitious goal for Ethereum is to safeguard the blockchain against the threats posed by quantum computing.  The danger of such future developments is that the future may call into question the cryptographic security of most blockchain systems, and Ethereum will be able to remain ahead thanks to more sophisticated mathematical techniques to ensure the safety and integrity of its protocols. Buterin is committed to ensuring that Ethereum evolves in a way that not only meets today’s security challenges but also prepares for the unknowns of tomorrow.

An important aspect of this vision is to remove unnecessary complexity and make Ethereum more accessible and maintainable without losing its strong security capabilities. Security and simplicity form the core of Buterin’s strategy, as they guarantee that the users of Ethereum experience both security and smooth processes. Focus on Speed and Efficiency in the Short-Term In the short term, Buterin aims to enhance Ethereum’s transaction efficiency, a crucial step toward improving scalability and reducing transaction costs. These advantages are attributed to the fact that, within the mid-term, Ethereum is planning to enhance the speed of transactions in layer-2 networks. According to Butterin, this is part of Ethereum’s expansion, particularly because there is still more need to use blockchain technology to date. The other important aspect of Ethereum’s development is the layer-2 solutions. Buterin supports an approach in which the layer-2 networks are dependent on layer-1 to perform some essential tasks like data security, proof, and censorship resistance. This will enable the layer-2 systems of Ethereum to be concerned with verifying and sequencing transactions, which will improve the overall speed and efficiency of the network. Ethereum’s Market Stability Reflects Confidence in Long-Term Strategy Ethereum’s market performance has remained solid, with the cryptocurrency holding steady above $4,000. Currently priced at $4,492.15, Ethereum has experienced a slight 0.93% increase over the last 24 hours, while its trading volume surged by 8.72%, reaching $34.14 billion. These figures point to growing investor confidence in Ethereum’s long-term vision. The crypto community remains optimistic about Ethereum’s future, with many predicting the price could rise to $5,500 by mid-October. Buterin’s clear, forward-thinking strategy continues to build trust in Ethereum as one of the most secure and scalable blockchain platforms in the market.
