Nvidia's Trading Volume Surges to 232.07 Billion, Securing Second Place in Market as AI Expansion in Europe Accelerates

On June 12, 2025, Nvidia's trading volume reached 232.07 billion, ranking second in the day's stock market. Nvidia's stock price increased by 1.52%.

Nvidia has significantly expanded its AI footprint in Europe through a series of strategic partnerships. The company has collaborated with France, Italy, the U.K., Spain, and various technology and telecom providers to deploy over 3,000 exaflops of AI computing power. This initiative includes the deployment of 18,000 Grace Blackwell systems in France, 14,000 Blackwell GPUs in the UK, and 10,000 Blackwell GPUs in Germany's industrial AI cloud. These partnerships not only enhance Nvidia's market presence but also embed the company deeply into Europe's AI ecosystem, creating significant revenue opportunities beyond hardware sales.

Nvidia's expansion in Europe is backed by strong government support, with endorsements from leaders in France, the UK, and Italy. This political backing is crucial as it addresses Europe's concerns about technological independence and secures Nvidia's position in a market that could otherwise develop more homegrown alternatives. The company's partnerships with major telecom providers like Orange, Fastweb, Swisscom, Telefónica, and Telenor further extend its reach to enterprise customers through trusted local providers.

By establishing AI technology centers across Europe and collaborating with major telecom providers, Nvidia is positioning itself as the foundation layer for Europe's entire AI infrastructure. This strategic move solidifies Nvidia's first-mover advantage in AI infrastructure, creating high switching costs and technological lock-in that will be difficult for competitors to overcome in the coming years. The company's focus on sovereign AI capabilities aligns with Europe's digital sovereignty goals, supporting economic growth and positioning the continent as a leader in the AI industrial revolution.
