Nvidia's Trading Volume Drops 33.96% to $15.41 Billion Ranking Second in Market

On May 9, 2025, Nvidia's trading volume reached $15.41 billion, a 33.96% decrease from the previous day, ranking second in the day's stock market trading volume. Nvidia's stock price fell by 0.61%.

Nvidia is reportedly planning to release a downgraded version of its H20 artificial intelligence chip for the Chinese market within the next two months. This move comes in response to U.S. export restrictions on the original model. The company has informed major Chinese customers about this plan, aiming to launch the modified chip in July. The downgraded H20 chip represents Nvidia's latest effort to maintain its presence in one of its most critical markets, despite Washington's expanding efforts to restrict China's access to advanced semiconductor technology. The H20 had been Nvidia's most powerful AI chip cleared for Chinese sales but was effectively blocked from the market last month due to U.S. export license requirements. Nvidia has formulated new technical thresholds to guide the development of the modified designs, which will result in significant downgrades from the original H20, including reduced memory capacity and lower computing power. This modification is expected to help Nvidia bypass the new controls and continue serving its major Chinese customers, such as Tencent, Alibaba, and ByteDance.
