SEC charges NVIDIA for not disclosing crypto mining impact
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) stated on May 6 that it has settled charges against technology company NVIDIA Corporation for "inadequate disclosures about the impact of crypto mining on the company's gaming business."
NVIDIA has paid a $5.5 million fine
According to the SEC, NVIDIA failed to disclose that crypto mining represented a significant component of their material revenue increase from selling graphics processing units (GPUs) developed and promoted for gaming for consecutive quarters in fiscal year 2018. NVIDIA has agreed to a cease-and-desist order and a $5.5 million penalty in response.As demand for and interest in cryptocurrency increased in 2017, NVIDIA customers increasingly used their gaming GPUs for crypto mining. As a result, NVIDIA reported a meaningful revenue increase in its gaming sector in two of its Forms 10-Q for 2018. However, according to the SEC NVIDIA, this increase in gaming sales was primarily driven by crypto mining.
“NVIDIA’s disclosure failures deprived investors of critical information to evaluate the company’s business in a key market,” said Kristina Littman, Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division’s Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit.
GPUs are becoming cheaper
GPUs, which are used to mine Ethereum, are becoming cheaper as the network prepares to convert from a proof-of-work (PoW) model to a proof-of-stake (PoS) one, which would render these computer parts essentially worthless for that mining Ethereum. Crypto mining accounts for around 35% of worldwide consumer demand for GPUs.However, the price decline has intensified this year as Ethereum developers explore the PoS approach, and the price of the second-largest cryptocurrency has plummeted. On the online marketplace, the price of ten key GPU models fell by 7.4 % in January, 9.5 % in February, and 12 % in March.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team.
