According to The Kobeissi Letter, Meta stock ($META) declined by 3% immediately following the company's announcement of a delay in its flagship AI model release (source: The Kobeissi Letter, May 15, 2025). This setback in Meta's AI development timeline is viewed as a risk-off signal for tech equities, which often correlates with increased volatility in the cryptocurrency market as traders adjust positions in tech-driven digital assets and AI-related crypto tokens.
