TL;DR

• Nvidia did not increase the sale of its graphics cards for video games but in the crypto-mining industry

The SEC regulation agency believes that the technology company scammed its merchants by claiming that its products increased in value due to the rising trend in the gaming world. However, the information is wrong because the SEC’s evidence demonstrates Nvidia’s link to crypto mining.

It is reported that the company responded to the call and will pay whatever is necessary. In this way, the leading technology company will pay to hide the massive sale of its graphics cards to the top crypto firms. SEC reporting that negotiations with Nvidia started last weekend.

SEC does not forgive irregularities in technology companies

The SEC, a ruthless regulator, does not ignore irregularities in technology companies. According to reports, the video game market has declined with the rise of other technologies, including NFTS.

The agency reports that the charge dated to 2018 when Nvidia announced its increase in sales of graphics cards. The funny thing is that the mining operations with Ethereum increased rapidly for the year. SEC investigated the data provided by the company and finally found the truth.

After the report, it is indicated that graphic cards are the scarcest products for crypto mining. To this is added the processors and power source, which is the main factor discussed by regulators. The Bitcoin mining involves a considerable amount of GPU also related to the game’s world.

The crypto mining industry would decline in sales knowing that Bitcoin has lost over 50 percent of its value. This also applies to tokens such as Ethereum and Solana linked to the market. However, the tokens are expected to recover their value, changing the prospect of mining cryptos.
