Artificial Inu, paired with tokenized NVDA, rose from a $1.5 million market cap on Aug. 1 to $135 million on Aug. 30 and briefly above $320 million in early September. Pons has issued about 389,000 tokens and collected $46.27 million in fees. The article also shows how HIMS token pricing snapped back once the New York market opened, underscoring that chain-based trading still depends on Wall Street hours. The piece argues that the model has created real trading depth for tokenized equities, but it also highlights limited liquidity, weekend gaps, robot-driven volume and regulatory limits.

Nvidia director Mark Stevens sold 1,848,501 shares of NVDA over three trading days this week for about $410.84 million, setting the largest insider stock sale in the company’s history by dollar value, according to Protos. The sales were disclosed in a single U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Form 4 and were executed through Stevens’ Third Millennium Trust, where he and his wife serve as co-trustees. The filing did not state any predetermined trading plan or reason for the disposal. The share sales were spread across Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, with an average sale price of $222.26 per share. Protos said the total surpassed the previous Nvidia insider sale record by $175 million and exceeded a 2024 sale by fellow director Tench Coxe by 74%. Stevens also separately filed a Form 144 on Wednesday showing plans to sell up to 5 million more NVDA shares, worth as much as $1.09 billion. That proposed sale names Merrill Lynch as broker and lists Third Millennium Trust and the 970 Foundation as sellers. The filing records an intent to sell and does not show that all 5 million shares were actually sold.
