Hedge funds exit US tech stocks, raising questions on Nvidia’s market cap lead

Hedge funds have made their largest exit from U.S. tech stocks in nearly a year, raising questions about NVIDIA’s market cap dominance. The Polymarket contract “Will NVIDIA be the largest company in the world by market cap on April 30?” sits at 99.8% YES.

Market reaction

Hedge funds are trimming tech exposure but still maintain a 20% concentration. The April 30 NVIDIA market holds steady at 99.8% YES. The June 30 market is at 92.5% YES, a 7.3-point gap that reflects lower confidence over the longer horizon.

Why it matters

The NVIDIA market trades at $46,745 in USDC daily volume, with $183,166 needed to move it 5 points, so liquidity is thick. Short-term odds haven’t budged, but the hedge fund exit signals a shift toward risk mitigation tied to geopolitical tensions with Iran. Those tensions could push traders to reassess whether NVIDIA holds the top market cap spot through mid-year.

What to watch

A YES share in the June market at 92.5¢ pays $1 if NVIDIA stays on top, a 1.08x return. That bet depends on NVIDIA’s AI-driven revenue growth continuing while hedge funds pull back from the sector. Watch for Jensen Huang’s strategic announcements and major tech earnings reports, which could move odds quickly.
