Price of Nvidia's Banned AI Chips Soars on China's Black Market

24 Haziran 2026Financial Times

Nvidia's AI chips have seen their prices double on China's black market due to a US crackdown on illicit exports. This crackdown has made acquiring these processors riskier and more challenging for buyers.
As a result, the demand for these chips continues to drive up their market value significantly.
The US government has been increasingly vigilant in monitoring and restricting the export of sensitive technologies to China, particularly in the AI sector. This has led to a growing black market for these products, where prices are soaring due to heightened demand and limited supply.
The surge in prices for Nvidia's AI chips on the black market highlights the complexities of international trade and technology regulation. As the US intensifies its efforts to control the export of advanced technology, the unintended consequence may be the creation of a more lucrative underground market.
