Grayscale Investments, one of the early innovators in the crypto sector, has taken a significant step towards going public by filing a confidential draft registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) [1]. This move follows the successful IPO of Circle and signals a broader maturation of the digital asset space. Grayscale, which currently manages around $50 billion in assets, is renowned for offering crypto-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and could attract both institutional and retail investors.

Meanwhile, Nvidia (NVDA) continues to power the Nasdaq to new heights, with its stock reaching a fresh record high on July 1, 2025. The chipmaker became the first publicly traded company to hit the $4 trillion market value mark, surpassing tech giants like Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL) [2]. Nvidia's stock price has been on a rollercoaster ride this year, but it has managed to shake off concerns about the AI industry's shift from training to inferencing, as well as the Biden and Trump administrations' bans on its chip sales to China.

Inflation and earnings data weighed on the broader market, with the S&P 500 lagging as investors parsed the latest data. The Nasdaq Composite was up in late-morning trading Tuesday following news that Nvidia expects to "soon" resume H20 GPU deliveries to China, while the Dow Jones was down and the S&P 500 was roughly flat [3]. The seasonally adjusted consumer price index rose by 0.3% in June, matching expectations, while core CPI rose by 0.2%, below the consensus estimate.

Other notable news includes Hongli receiving a Nasdaq minimum bid price non-compliance notification, which led to a fall in its shares. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq touched record highs as Nvidia jumped, underscoring the tech sector's resilience.
