- Nvidia Leadership Crisis Spurs 78,000-Signature Return Campaign — this brief
CoinEdition reports that an open letter asking Nvidia’s board to restore Jensen Huang as chief executive has collected more than 78,000 signatures. The campaign has attracted backing from company employees, shareholders and other supporters, but CoinEdition emphasizes that only the board can decide whether to reinstate Huang following his resignation as CEO on November 12.
The transition marks the end of Huang’s 33-year tenure at the company he co-founded. Finance chief Colette Kress is now interim CEO, while Decrypt reports that the board has approached Arm’s chief executive as it considers a permanent replacement. Some employees are simultaneously supporting the campaign to bring Huang back, creating parallel pressure from inside and outside the company.
Support for the petition continued to expand beyond Nvidia’s workforce. TronWeekly reports that Elon Musk publicly backed the campaign, which it says had more than 50,000 signatures at the time of its coverage. Crypto.news, however, said the Stand with Jensen campaign had begun removing suspected fake signatures and warned supporters about impersonator accounts, introducing questions about the names displayed on its website.
The leadership change also affected technology-related assets. Decrypt reported that Nvidia shares tumbled while AMD and Broadcom rose and Nvidia-backed CoreWeave declined, illustrating how investors redistributed positions within the AI trade. Separately, 
Bitcoin World and CoinCodex cite the 8% benchmark tied to Binance’s NVDAUSDT perpetual futures, which Bitcoin World said traded more than 8% below Nvidia’s US cash close.
The wider crypto market was already under pressure when the leadership news circulated. Total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.29 trillion, with the overall market broadly lower. Bitcoin traded at $65,647, down 4.37% over 24 hours and 13.58% over seven days, leaving its market capitalization at $1.32 trillion. The Fear & Greed index stood at 13, classified as extreme fear.
Several unresolved elements surround the succession and the petition. Crypto.news is validating campaign signatures, 99Bitcoins notes congressional interest in having Huang testify and refers to the board’s investigation into his conduct, and Decrypt reports an active search for a permanent chief executive. The petition’s credibility, the board investigation, congressional scrutiny and the eventual leadership choice remain the principal developments to monitor.

The chart plots BTC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹6.76M (about $64,636.00), down 4.2% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 11.0% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
