Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
The U.S. government has approved Chinese firm New Matrix to purchase Nvidia H200 AI chips, but the company's registered office sits vacant, raising questions about how thoroughly chip sales are vetted. New Matrix was founded roughly 17 months ago, has sparse public records, is absent from its registered address's building directory, and is not recognized by on-site property staff, according to The New York Times. The company's owner is linked to a Chinese private equity firm that has been on a U.S. blacklist since 2024. The case highlights that firms tied to entities under U.S. national-security trade restrictions being cleared to buy Nvidia chips is not an isolated occurrence. Watch whether U.S. regulators tighten scrutiny of buyer eligibility as Nvidia's China sales resume.
