Meta's Trading Volume Drops 32.74% to $65.94 Billion, Slips to 10th Position

On June 25, 2025, Meta's trading volume reached $65.94 billion, marking a 32.74% decrease from the previous day. This placed Meta at the 10th position in terms of trading volume for the day. Meta's stock price fell by 0.49%.

Meta is aggressively pursuing dominance in the AI sector by investing heavily in both infrastructure and talent acquisition. The company is in discussions to bring on board high-profile figures such as Safe Superintelligence CEO Daniel Gross and former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman for its ambitious superintelligence lab. This move is part of a broader strategy to leverage AI in enhancing its core services, including advertising and content recommendation systems. Notably, Meta has seen a 4% increase in user engagement on its Threads app since integrating its Llama AI model into its recommendation algorithms.

Meta's AI initiatives extend beyond software, as the company is also embedding AI capabilities into its hardware products, including the Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses. This integration aims to enhance user experience and maintain Meta's competitive edge in the tech industry. In 2024, Meta sold over 1 million Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses, with sales tripling. Meta explored acquiring AI video startup Runway before its $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI, highlighting its aggressive AI expansion strategy.

Meta is opting for an open-source approach with its AI models, allowing developers and companies to utilize its AI technologies, albeit with certain restrictions, such as requiring a license for products with over 700 million monthly active users. This approach not only broadens the usage of Meta's AI models but also provides valuable insights for further development. As Meta continues to navigate the competitive landscape of AI, it faces challenges from other tech giants like Apple and Samsung, both of which are exploring acquisitions to bolster their AI capabilities.
