Consensus 2024参会感受：以太坊和ETF闇然，AI与DePIN绽放

2024 年 5 月 29 日至 31 日，美国知名 Web3 媒体 Coindesk 在德克萨斯州奥斯汀市举办了 Consensus 2024 大会，Odaily 驻北美记者前往参与。

作为全球最大、最具影响力的加密货币和区块链行业盛会之一，Consensus 大会汇聚了来自世界各地的开发者、投资者、创始人、品牌和政策制定者。本次大会不仅提供了一个展示前沿技术和探讨行业趋势的平台，还为业内人士提供了一个交流合作的绝佳机会。

牛市以来的第一场大会

这次的 Consensus 大会算是本轮牛市以来的第一次行业大会。此前，由于比特币 ETF 的批准和 ETH Denver 期间比特币从五万美元疯涨至七万，整个行业在前几个月对于牛市来临作出了充分的反应。

此次，虽然参会人数相比往年有所减少，但整体质量显著提升；从现场交流的状况来看，与会者更加专业，讨论内容非常深入，交流效果也更为高效。像对于区块链行业没有了解的新人或者是来学习的学生人数比起其他会议而言大幅减少。可以发现，今年的参会者大多是业内的深度参与者，对于想要在美国融资或是寻找客户或投资标的的公司而言，Consensus 仍然是全美前三的不可错过的区块链盛会。

会场内并不冷清，但大家都在 Side Event

尽快采用了去年经典的有一条主干道和许多小分支的主会场设计，会场内的正式活动的参加者似乎并没有去年多，甚至我在现场碰见的很多人直言并没有怎么去主会场。更多的讨论和交流发生在各种 side event 中，参会者更倾向于参加这些小型、灵活的活动，在 Consensus 活动持续的四天之内，大概有 200+场类似的活动，由各类 Web3 公司主办。这些活动更贴近实际应用和前沿技术，提供了更多探讨和合作的机会。

此外，高昂的票价（学生和开发者的票价相对要低一些）也是很多人并未出现在主会场的原因。

AI 和去中心化物联网（DePIN）是本次大会最受关注的生态系统赛道。无论是技术讨论还是项目展示，都集中在这两个领域；最直观的就是，有很多集中在这个生态上的活动，而其他 DeFi、游戏等传统赛道并没有受到以前那么多的关注。而相比之下，以太坊和 ETF 虽然仍有一定的讨论，但显然没有获得与会者的过多关注。

亚洲参会者的数量非常显著，很多与会者都是专程从国内飞过来参与这次大会，而这些人大多并非来自知名大机构，基本上都是创业公司的创始人或者是基金的投资者，来美国寻找融资机会、标的或者最新的欧美资金趋势。这也使得本次大会成为了一个国际化、高度多元的平台，促进了东西方之间的交流和合作。

总体而言，Consensus 2024 展示了行业的深度和广度，通过国际化的交流，为区块链和加密货币的未来发展提供了方向。这次大会不仅是一次行业盛会，更是一场全球顶尖思想和技术的碰撞与融合，预示着一个更加开放、创新和去中心化的未来。

S&P 500 Falls for Third Consecutive Day, Dollar Breaks Through 13-Month High, Gold Dips Below 4000, Oil Below 70, Bitcoin Below 60000 Mark, Micron and Qualcomm Spark Major Chip Stock Rebound

U.S. stocks were mixed, with the S&P 500 falling for a third consecutive session as tech weakness offset gains in other sectors. The Nasdaq underperformed, with the AI semiconductor sector plunging nearly 10%. Micron and Qualcomm, however, sparked a major after-hours rally in chip stocks, with Micron surging over 16% on a strong earnings report and outlook driven by AI-related memory demand. The dollar rose to a 13-month high, pressuring dollar-denominated assets. Gold tumbled below $4,000 per ounce, and oil prices crashed, with WTI crude falling below $70 a barrel to its lowest level since before the Iran conflict, as geopolitical risk premiums faded with improved Middle East supply flows. Bitcoin briefly fell below the $60,000 mark. Treasury yields dropped sharply, with the 10-year yield falling 9 basis points, supported by the drop in oil prices easing inflation concerns. Market focus now turns to upcoming PCE inflation data for further direction on Fed policy.

SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son's New Trillion-Dollar "Gamble"

SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son is embroiled in a new trillion-dollar "bet" on Physical AI and humanoid robotics, even as his massive wager on OpenAI faces uncertainty ahead of its potential IPO. Recent reports reveal OpenAI's steep losses—$85 billion net loss by Q1 2026 and a $38.5 billion loss in 2025—casting doubt on its path to a trillion-dollar valuation. SoftBank, OpenAI's second-largest external shareholder with a planned 13% stake, stands to gain hugely if OpenAI succeeds. Undeterred, Son is already pushing forward with his next ambitious venture: consolidating SoftBank's AI and robotics assets into a new U.S.-based company named "Roze," targeting a $100 billion IPO as early as late 2026. This move aligns with his belief that Physical AI, merging AI cognition with robotic physical execution, is the next trillion-dollar frontier. Son's confidence stems from recent AI wins; SoftBank's stock surged and he briefly regained the title of Asia's richest person, largely due to OpenAI's soaring valuation. However, his aggressive strategy has raised internal concerns about over-reliance on OpenAI and strained finances. With competitors like Anthropic advancing rapidly and OpenAI's IPO timing uncertain, Son is racing to capitalize on the AI boom. His long-term vision for Physical AI includes a decade of investments in robotics, from Boston Dynamics to recent acquisitions like ABB's robotics unit, and a planned $1 trillion investment in U.S.-based AI robotics industrial parks. Yet, challenges remain: humanoid robotics firms like Figure AI lack the clear revenue paths of AI software companies, and Roze's lofty valuation faces skepticism. For Son, these bets are also driven by an unfulfilled promise of massive returns to key investors like Saudi Arabia's PIF. Despite risks, he continues to double down, betting that the fusion of AI and physical machines will define the next technological era.

Glass Substrate Suddenly Accelerates

The adoption of glass substrates in the semiconductor industry is accelerating unexpectedly. Following collaboration announcements between BOE and Corning in late May, and earlier moves by Intel and TSMC, the market for related upstream companies has surged. Intel's "Glass Core Substrate" aims to replace the IC substrate between the circuit board and the chip, primarily addressing thermal warping issues in large AI chips. TSMC's focus is on replacing the expensive silicon interposer layer within the chip package to significantly reduce costs. While initially cautious, with timelines stretching towards 2030, progress has been dramatically pulled forward. Key drivers are NVIDIA, whose ever-larger GPUs like the upcoming Rubin make glass substrates a necessity, and the display panel industry. Companies like Innolux and BOE, leveraging their extensive experience and production lines in panel-grade glass substrates, are rapidly retooling for semiconductor packaging. Innolux has already established production lines and secured orders, while BOE has built pilot lines and is sampling customers. Although technical hurdles remain, such as advanced multi-layer glass processing and copper electroplating, the path to commercialization is now clearer. Large-scale adoption is estimated to begin by late 2027, marking glass substrates as a critical next step in supporting advancing AI computing power.

Catholic And Law Enforcement Groups Warn CLARITY Act Could Weaken Crypto Crime Safeguards

A coalition of Catholic leaders, law enforcement groups, and anti-trafficking advocates warns that the CLARITY Act could weaken safeguards against crypto-enabled crime. Their criticism focuses on provisions that would protect developers of non-custodial software (like wallets and DeFi protocols) from being regulated as money transmitters. This highlights a core regulatory dilemma: distinguishing neutral software from financial intermediation. Crypto advocates argue such developers should not be treated like exchanges, while critics fear broad exemptions could hinder the tracking of illicit finance, including human trafficking and sanctions evasion. The bill aims to create clearer market-structure rules, but this opposition shows the debate extends beyond investor protection to law enforcement concerns. The pushback means supporters may need to address these issues, potentially leading to amendments or stricter requirements. For the crypto industry, clearer rules could spur U.S. investment, but the bill faces a tougher political path if framed as weakening crime-fighting tools.
