Торговая война с США заставила Китай продвигать цифровой юань

investing.ruPublished on 2025-04-11Last updated on 2025-04-11

Happycoin.club - Из-за торговой войны и беспрецедентных пошлин президента Дональда Трампа китайский юань упал до многолетних минимумов по отношению к доллару США.

В попытке защитить свою валюту, включая цифровую, Народный банк Китая (НБК) отреагировал денежными интервенциями и потоком позитивных сообщений в СМИ о его использовании.

По данным НБК, на 11 марта 2025 года число уникальных личных кошельков с цифровым юанем (e-CNY) выросло более чем в четыре раза со 180 миллионов до 800 миллионов 11 месяцами ранее, совокупный объём транзакций увеличился на 45% с 7 до 10,2 триллиона e-CNY.

Судя по всему, эта статистика верная, поскольку большинство цифровых кошельков материкового Китая напрямую привязаны к цифровым удостоверениям личности граждан.

Наряду с количественными показателями Народный банк Китая расширяет функциональность CBDC. В неё добавлены такие функции, как возможность сканировать QR-коды или отправлять транзакции даже в автономном режиме.

JD.com and Former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati Have Bet on the Same AI Track

JD.com and Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab are converging on the same AI frontier: proactive visual-language interaction models. JD just open-sourced JoyAI-VL-Interaction, the world's first full-stack open-source model of its kind. Unlike traditional "turn-based" AI that waits for user prompts, this model actively analyzes continuous video streams, autonomously deciding when to respond, stay silent, or delegate complex tasks. It prioritizes vision as the primary driver for decision-making in physical-world scenarios like elderly fall detection, live sports commentary, or warehouse monitoring. The 8-billion-parameter model is designed for practical deployment, running on a single RTX 3090 GPU with sub-second latency. Its "full-stack" open-source release includes the model, inference system, and dataset, aiming to catalyze a developer ecosystem. JD's strategy is underpinned by its vast operational footprint in retail, logistics, and healthcare, which provides crucial real-world data for training. The move signals a broader shift in AI competition from screen-based Q&A to active participation in the physical world.

Google Starts Selling TPUs, Big Tech Aims to Produce "Low-Cost Tokens" with AI Chips

Google has begun selling its proprietary TPU chips and AI computing hardware directly to third-party data centers and clients, marking a strategic shift. Previously only accessible via cloud rentals, TPUs are specialized processors designed for the matrix and tensor operations central to AI models. By combining thousands into supercomputing clusters managed by CPUs, Google achieves high-efficiency AI processing. This move enables Google’s Gemini AI to offer competitive token pricing, challenging rivals like OpenAI. It also signals a broader industry trend where AI compute is becoming a commoditized resource like electricity. While NVIDIA remains dominant with its CUDA ecosystem and high-performance GPUs, the focus is shifting from raw power to cost efficiency and system integration. Google’s approach mirrors NVIDIA’s by selling an entire ecosystem—hardware, software, and data center expertise—rather than just chips. This threatens NVIDIA’s grip on the mid-range inference market, where lower-cost, efficient solutions are increasingly demanded. Similarly, cloud providers like Huawei Cloud and Alibaba Cloud in China are developing their own AI chip ecosystems (e.g., Ascend, Zhenwu), packaging chips, clusters, and tools into full-stack solutions. They aim to reduce token costs and capture market share through integrated systems. In summary, the AI infrastructure race is evolving from a competition for the strongest chips to a contest for the most efficient and cost-effective systems. Google’s TPU sales highlight this transition, emphasizing that future success lies in delivering affordable, scalable AI compute as a foundational service.

Do Not Apply Blindly: A Comprehensive Evaluation of the Eight Main Pathways to Hong Kong Residency by 2026

Hong Kong has recently updated its talent attraction policies, offering eight mainstream pathways to residency. These include programs like the Top Talent Pass Scheme (TTPS), Quality Migrant Admission Scheme (QMAS), the newly introduced Technology Professionals Admission Scheme (TP Stream), and Vocational Professionals Admission Scheme (VPAS). Navigating these options involves understanding key details such as core eligibility criteria, employer sponsorship requirements, and the respective advantages and drawbacks of each scheme. A comprehensive comparison chart is provided to help applicants evaluate their choices and potentially save on consultancy fees. Applicants are reminded to always verify information with the official announcements from the Hong Kong Immigration Department.

Report Analysis: Semiconductor Sector Surges 155%, Bernstein Says NVDA and AVGO Are 'Absurdly Cheap'

Title: Bernstein's Semiconductor Quarterly Review: AI is the "Only Game in Town," Highlights "Absurdly Cheap" NVDA and AVGO Bernstein's June 23 semiconductor industry review asserts AI is the sector's dominant driver, fueling record gains. The SOX index rose 155.6% over the past year, primarily driven by a 75% increase in forward EPS, not just valuation expansion. While sector-wide valuations are high, Bernstein identifies a significant valuation gap. Despite leading the AI chip market, Nvidia (NVDA) and Broadcom (AVGO) have lagged in performance this year. Based on their 2027 EPS projections and critical roles in the AI supply chain, Bernstein rates both as "Outperform," calling their current valuations "absurdly cheap." The report notes extreme divergence within the sector, with memory chips up 500% YTD, while GPUs/ASICs gained 115%. Bernstein upgraded AMD to "Outperform" due to its dual opportunity in both AI/GPU and CPU markets. However, it remains cautious on Qualcomm (QCOM), citing smartphone market pressures. Key risks highlighted include historically high sector crowding and elevated inventory levels, which could pressure the supply chain if demand softens. The conclusion stresses selective stock-picking over broad directional bets, given current high valuations.

Bitcoin Loses $63,500 Support As Heatmaps Show Liquidity Building Above Price

Bitcoin has broken below the $63,500 support level, a key area that had previously held during dips. The failure of buyers to defend this level signals a shift in market sentiment, as broken support can turn into resistance. However, analysis of liquidation heatmaps shows significant liquidity building above the current price, between $65,500 and $66,500. This overhead liquidity could act as a magnet for a short squeeze or relief rally, creating tension with the bearish signal from the support break. The near-term direction hinges on whether Bitcoin can reclaim $63,500 or gets rejected, with a move through the overhead liquidity zone needed to improve the bullish setup. Traders are advised to watch for confirmation from price action, volume, and follow-through rather than treating this as a definitive directional call.
