PRISM Mid-Day Movers: Crypto Mining and Comms & Media are Today’s Leaders.

Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) is up 20.05% at $0.3832, touching an intraday high of $0.3929 after opening at $0.334. Volume reached 23.96 million shares, above its 15.18 million-share average, as traders appeared to rotate into lower-priced crypto-mining names amid a broader risk-on technology backdrop. No company-specific announcement was identified in the available news results, suggesting the move may be primarily momentum- and sector-driven.

Viant Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: DSP) is also up 17.51% at $11.775, trading between $11.24 and $12.005 on volume of roughly 1.45 million shares—more than five times its 284,417-share average. The advance followed Viant’s decision to withdraw a previously announced underwritten offering of 8.5 million Class A shares, along with the underwriters’ option to purchase up to an additional 1.275 million shares; the company said no shares were sold, removing the near-term share-supply overhang that had pressured the stock.

Other Notable Movers:

bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIAF) up 17%

Spruce Power (SPRU) up 14%

BioXcel Therapeutics (BTAIQ) down -21%
