JPMorgan strategists, including Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, said strong inflows into equity ETFs showed retail investors remained bullish on stocks, providing support they considered crucial to stabilizing the recently battered AI trade. According to Sina Finance, citing the bank’s latest flows and liquidity report, ETFs tracking global equities received about $20 billion in average daily inflows last week, accelerating to $30 billion on Monday. Leveraged equity ETFs, driven mainly by retail investors, attracted nearly $5 billion on November 5 and 6, while inverse ETFs saw outflows of roughly the same amount. The report also said declining call-option buying could further strengthen the influence of retail flows. The strategists wrote that retail support was crucial to stabilizing the AI trade in November after October’s brutal performance and substantial hedge fund de-risking. If the market stabilizes in November, hedge funds may rebuild AI-related exposure from late November, helping drive a year-end rally.

According to ChainCatcher citing Seoul Economic Daily, British AI infrastructure company Nscale is pursuing at least two AI data centers in South Korea. The company established its local subsidiary, Nscale Service KR, in July 2026 to oversee investment, development, operations and management. Founded in 2024, Nscale procures its own GPUs and operates AI data centers. Its enterprise value is about $35 billion, and it is pursuing a U.S. listing. A project in Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province, was initially planned as a 300-megawatt facility built by a consortium, but the participants later opted to build separately. Nscale’s facility is undergoing permitting ahead of construction. The company is also assessing additional sites, including new builds, retrofits and leased data-center capacity. An anonymous industry source said Nscale has retrofitted operating facilities overseas to reduce capital costs and may propose similar arrangements to South Korean companies. CoreWeave is also advancing data-center plans in South Korea and last year appointed Kim Hyun-seok, formerly of Microsoft and SoftBank, to lead its local unit. An Amazon Web Services and SK Group AI data center in Ulsan is scheduled to begin operating next year, while Microsoft recently began construction on its third South Korean data center in Busan. Goldman Sachs estimates that regulation could affect about 45% of planned U.S. AI data-center expansion capacity following Democratic wins in U.S. state and local elections. On November 11, CoreWeave said it was expanding in Canada, Europe and Asia to diversify regulatory exposure. South Korea is developing regional electricity pricing and a dedicated rate for AI data centers.

Ethereum co-founder and MetaMask CEO Joseph Lubin expects demand for ETH to outstrip supply as financial institutions move onto Ethereum, and said no platform may come close to ETH’s monetary premium in perhaps 2 years. He made the remarks during an X debate with Arca CIO Jeff Dorman, according to BeInCrypto. Lubin said institutional firms and market infrastructure are already using Ethereum, with more expected, while competition for block space, staking, digital asset treasury purchases and ETH burned through network activity could tighten supply. Dorman questioned the token’s value and said the investment case remained unclear. Lubin also acknowledged that crypto has yet to see real mainstream usage, with many people holding ETH and Bitcoin speculatively. ETH has lost more than a third of its value over the past year and trades below half its all-time high from August 2025. A trader compared its current pullback of about 26% with a similar drop in mid-2025 and expected another rally. Lubin credited SEC Chair Paul Atkins and CFTC Chair Michael Selig with reducing regulatory uncertainty and pointed to MetaMask’s evolution into a self-custody financial super app.
