Canaan 22Q2 Results and the Market Outlook

In a note to investors, Mr. Nangeng Zhang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Canaan, said that the company struggled with the falling cryptocurrency prices in the second quarter of 2022. Additionally, Zhang noted that the COVID-19 containment lockdown in key cities in China also brought severe disruptions to its operations during the just reported quarter.
