AI Stocks Today (Dec. 22, 2025): Nvidia’s China Chip Pivot, Micron’s Memory Squeeze, and 2026 Forecasts Driving the AI Trade

Updated: Dec. 22, 2025 — 10:22 a.m. ET (15:22 UTC) U.S. equities are starting the holiday-shortened week with a familiar engine: artificial intelligence. By mid-morning Monday, AI chip stocks and the broader tech complex were extending a rebound that picked up late last week, as investors balanced fresh catalysts (notably in semiconductors and cloud) against lingering concerns about valuations, export controls, and the “who actually earns the ROI?” question that keeps resurfacing whenever capex numbers climb.

XRP Price Today (Dec. 22, 2025, 10:21 UTC): XRP Holds Near $1.92–$1.94 as Fund Flows Buck the Market and Traders Watch the $2 Wall

Updated: Monday, December 22, 2025 at 10:21 UTC. XRP, the token closely associated with Ripple and the XRP Ledger (XRPL), is trading in a tight band on Monday as investors weigh fresh institutional flow data against a technically fragile chart. At 10:21 UTC, XRP was quoted around $1.9237, according to Binance’s market page timestamped at that moment. Binance Across broader pricing feeds, XRP has been hovering closer to $1.94, with an intraday range around $1.90 to $1.94—a “grind higher” that still stops short of the psychological $2.00 level that bulls need to reclaim to shift sentiment decisively. crypto.news What’s changed

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) stock is trading around the $227 level on December 22, 2025, as investors weigh a fast-moving mix of AI/cloud catalysts, new delivery experiments, and big-ticket spending plans that could reshape Amazon’s growth narrative into 2026. After a year in which Amazon’s share performance has been described as roughly flat—especially compared with broader large-cap benchmarks—today’s debate is less about whether Amazon is still a high-quality business and more about what deserves credit (and what deserves scrutiny) in its next phase: AWS’ AI momentum, the economics of faster delivery, and the payback period on surging infrastructure investment.
