Chips Become Financial Assets: AI Transforms into a Trillion-Dollar Game
BenBajarin · x · 2026-08-22
A reposted commentary argues that AI has evolved from a tech revolution into a financial game following Jensen's announcement of a $500B chip securitization scheme, likening it to the introduction of MBS in the 1970s. Broadcom ($AVGO) plans to join with up to $100B. The core shift is that chips are now revenue-generating assets that can be mortgaged. This moves financing risk from NVDA/AMD to the multi-trillion dollar private credit market, benefiting banks from yields and potentially repricing NVDA higher.
