According to @business, SoftBank explored a potential takeover of Marvell Technology earlier this year in what would have been the semiconductor industry’s largest-ever deal, based on people familiar with the matter, source: Bloomberg. Marvell has highlighted AI and cloud data center demand as core growth drivers with accelerating AI-related revenue in its FY2025 outlook, underscoring its positioning in AI infrastructure, source: Marvell Investor Relations (Q1 FY2025 earnings materials). SoftBank remains the majority owner of Arm Holdings following Arm’s 2023 IPO, reflecting the group’s strategic focus on compute platforms, source: Arm Holdings 2024 annual report and SoftBank Group disclosures. For crypto markets, AI-chip catalysts have previously coincided with rallies in AI-linked tokens such as RNDR and FET around Nvidia earnings, so traders may monitor AI token baskets for sentiment spillover from this M&A headline, source: Bloomberg.

According to @StockMKTNewz, citing The Information, OpenAI is reportedly working with SoftBank’s Arm Holdings (ARM) to develop CPUs designed to work with OpenAI’s AI server chip (source: The Information via @StockMKTNewz). The report does not provide a timeline, technical specifications, or financial terms for the CPUs or the AI server chip (source: The Information via @StockMKTNewz). The report does not mention cryptocurrencies such as BTC or ETH, focusing solely on semiconductor collaboration between OpenAI and Arm (source: The Information via @StockMKTNewz).

According to StockMKTNewz, Arm Holdings CEO Rene Haas stated that the United Kingdom and Europe currently lack sufficient energy resources to scale artificial intelligence operations in the region. This limitation could slow the development of AI-driven blockchain solutions and decentralized applications, potentially impacting the growth of AI-related cryptocurrencies such as FET and AGIX. Traders should monitor regional infrastructure developments, as energy constraints may influence token valuations and market sentiment in the European crypto sector.
