# Why Roundhill Neocloud ETF (NCLD) fell 8.15% on October 22, 2026

Roundhill Neocloud ETF (NCLD) fell 8.15% on October 22, 2026 — GPU neocloud group sinks in tech selloff.

## What happened

A broad tech selloff hit AI infrastructure names after the FTC subpoenaed OpenAI and Anthropic, with the report framing a $500 billion threat to Microsoft, Amazon, and Google.

## Why it matters

NCLD is a thematic vehicle for the GPU Neocloud trade, which bets on AI compute rentals backed by big contracts and lender financing.
