The stock has soared 22% since the start of November, marking a 10-day winning streak, the longest such run since 2016, and adding an astounding $220 billion in market value. This winning streak has resulted in Nvidia's shares rising to record highs.

The AI-driven frenzy, coupled with the rebound in technology stocks amid hopes that Fed interest rates have peaked, has driven the stock higher (read: 5 Tech ETFs That Outperformed XLK in the Past Week).

Investors could tap the strength with the help of ETFs having the largest allocation to NVIDIA. These include GraniteShares 1.5x Long NVDA Daily ETF (NVDL - Free Report) , VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH - Free Report) , AXS Esoterica NextG Economy ETF (WUGI - Free Report) , Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ - Free Report) and Pacer Data and Digital Revolution ETF (TRFK - Free Report) .

Shares of NVDA rallied more than 240% this year, making it the best performer on both the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 indexes.

A key factor driving the surge is Nvidia's dominant position in the AI sector. The world’s largest chipmaker continues to benefit from the explosive demand for its cutting-edge chips used in AI applications, which are used to power ChatGPT and many similar services. It is boosting supply to meet surging demand. Nvidia's chips are used in applications ranging from robotics and the metaverse to medical imaging and video analytics.

In fact, the launch of its latest AI processor, the H200 chip, has played a crucial role in the company's record-breaking rally, highlighting Nvidia's innovative strength in the AI sector. Nvidia said that H200 will get the ability to use high-bandwidth memory, or HBM3e, allowing it to better cope with the large data sets needed for developing and implementing AI.

Nvidia's impressive performance is reflected in its financial results and forecasts. On its last earnings call, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said, "A new computing era has begun." "Companies worldwide are transitioning from general-purpose to accelerated computing and generative AI" (read: Nvidia Soars on Blockbuster Q2 earnings: ETFs to Buy).
