Abstract

美国俄亥俄州一处冷战时期的核工厂旧址，将被英伟达、OpenAI和软银联合改造为全球最大的AI超级计算工厂。该项目终极电力规划达8吉瓦，接近目前全球最大AI数据中心总功率的2/3，可容纳约150万颗GPU。英伟达创始人黄仁勋指出，AI发展的下一瓶颈并非芯片，而是土地、电力和基础设施。为此，英伟达投资15亿美元并提供长期信用担保，软银负责基建与电网改造，OpenAI则签署了20年独家算力租约。此举被视为英伟达锁定未来关键资源（土地与电力）、巩固其行业主导地位的战略布局。分析认为，该设施不仅将满足OpenAI的长期算力需求，其硬件升级周期也将为英伟达带来持续的巨大收益。这场竞赛标志着AI竞争已从芯片制造扩展到大规模基础设施的争夺。

太魔幻了。

在美国俄亥俄州有片废弃了半个多世纪的土地,冷战时期是用来造原子弹的铀浓缩工厂。机器早就停了,厂房也锈了,地皮也没人要了。

结果今天一大早,硅谷爆出个大新闻——

英伟达、OpenAI和软银三家顶级大佬,要联手把这片核废墟,改造成了全世界最大的AI超级工厂!

这块土地大约相当于4.5个纽约中央公园,大到可以容纳近590艘超级航母。

70年前,这里日夜轰鸣提炼足以毁灭地球的铀;如今,同一片土地上将同时转动150万颗GPU。

老黄:AI时代的下一个瓶颈

这个超级工厂的终极电力规划,是8吉瓦!

所需电力需要好几个大型核电站的输出,足够给几百万个家庭供电,接近去年全球所有数据中心耗电量的1/7。而目前全球最大的AI算力中心是xA的Colossus 2,算力不到1吉瓦。

按Epoch AI的追踪,全球82座最大AI专用数据中心,算力基础设施总功率加起来约12.7吉瓦。

也就是说,当满负荷运转,它将拥有接近目前全球82座顶级AI数据中心总和2/3的算力。

如果按这82座的平均规模来算,画面更夸张:把大约52座顶级AI超算中心排在一起,才抵得上这一座。

但8个吉瓦,「对AI来说才刚起步。」

OpenAI的首席研究官这么说

为此,老黄宣布,英伟达将直接拿出15亿美元,注资软银旗下公司,并且提供长达20年的信用担保。

OpenAI一口气签下了长达20年的超长租约,全额包圆这里的算力。此外,为俄亥俄州84.4万名学生提供最高8,400万美元的Codex积分。

而孙正义则砸下重金,承诺引入1吉瓦的新增发电量,并花42亿美元改造当地老旧电网。

硅谷大佬们,为何突然集体化身为「地产开发商」和「电网建设工」?

因为,黄仁勋刚刚发文,承认了一个残酷的真相:AI接下来的生死瓶颈,根本不是芯片,而是——有没有地、有没有电、有没有厂房。

以前大家争芯片,现在开始抢地抢电

过去几年,所有人都盯着台积电的产能,盯着内存条供货,觉得只要英伟达显卡造得够快,AI就能一路狂飙到AGI。

但老黄一句话道出实情。

他在博客里说,一个真正能跑的AI工厂,不光要有先进芯片,更需要三个最基础的东西——土地、电力、厂房。

而这恰恰是OpenAI这类AI新贵的死穴。

虽然OpenAI有技术、有野心,但电网公司和地产商一看,你一个才成立几年的公司,凭啥把未来20年的电和地卖给你?

这就是AI圈现在最尴尬的局面:真正的瓶颈在工地上。

他们空有几千亿的参数模型,空有几十亿美元的融资,却撑不起几十年期的基建账单。

这时候,谁出来摆平?

只有那个市值两万亿的「老大哥」——英伟达。

老黄的「连环套」:出15亿当担保人,图啥?

这场交易的三方分工特别有意思。

软银(干活的):买地、盖房、拉电线、建机房,纯苦力活。

OpenAI(花钱的):签20年租约,按月交房租,把算力跑满。

英伟达(担保的):掏15亿入股,再给20年基建项目做信用担保。

很多人第一反应:老黄疯了吧?你一个卖显卡的,凭什么给客户做担保?这不是华尔街最瞧不上的「自己给自己担保」吗?

但老黄在博客里特霸气地回了一句:「OpenAI自己掏租金,我一分不贴。」

那他图啥呢?

其实,这是他玩过无数次的「锁定术」——以前芯片缺货的时候,他就用长期订单和预付款把台积电的产能、ASML的光刻机全锁死了。

现在他把这套打法搬到了土地和电上。

他赌的就是:未来几年,「能通电的大片空地」比「能造芯片的硅片」还稀缺。

所以他提前出手,用自己两万亿市值的信用,把全球最好的AI选址和电力资源全圈下来,而且规定——这地方只能用英伟达的芯片。

诚如网友所言:真正的护城河从来不只是芯片,而是提前二十年锁定运行它们所需的土地和电力,让其他人望尘莫及

你说这买卖亏不亏?

算笔账:为啥这是稳赚不赔的买卖

为什么这笔买卖,肯定稳赚不赔?

做一道算术题,就明白了。

根据公告里的数据:

第一期先搞4.25吉瓦

每一代系统能塞下约150万张顶级显卡

每一代硬件销售收入大概在1500亿到2000亿美元

OpenAI现有加规划的订单,已经占了英伟达12个吉瓦的算力,还能扩到16个吉瓦

结论是,到2030年,光OpenAI一家就能给英伟达带来6000亿美元的营收机会!

关键在哪?厂房和电网寿命是20年,但芯片两三年就换一代。

土地是永久的,电线是耐用的,机房能反复升级,但里面插的英伟达显卡——每一代都是几十上百亿美金的纯增量收入。

万一哪天OpenAI交不起房租了呢?

老黄早想好了退路。英伟达的CUDA平台是行业标准,全世界都能用。

如果OpenAI退租,这些机房、电线、甚至装好的显卡,分分钟转租给其他云厂商、大公司或者创业公司。根本不愁没人接盘。

这才是真正的护城河:你交租,我赚钱;你退租,我更赚。

一场没有退路的游戏

现在整个逻辑已经非常清楚了:

更牛的基础设施 → 更大的模型 → 更聪明的AI → 赚更多钱 → 建更大的基础设施

这个越转越快的飞轮,也是一条不能回头的路。

当AI竞赛从纳米级的芯片制程,蔓延到平方公里级的土地争夺,从晶圆厂延伸到废弃核工厂。

通往AGI的尽头,竟然是电力和地皮。

而黄仁勋,已经用15亿撬动了未来20年的牌桌。

最可怕的不是他赢下了这一局,而是他重新定义了这场游戏的玩法——

真正的AI大佬,得学会盖楼、拉电、抢地皮。

CFTC Chairman Reveals Plans: The Next Frontier, Crypto, Computing Power Markets, and Prediction Markets

CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig outlined a regulatory roadmap targeting three new frontiers: crypto assets, AI compute power, and prediction markets. Regarding crypto, while preferring comprehensive legislation like the CLARITY Act, the CFTC is preparing to use its existing authority to potentially designate platforms as regulated "Crypto Asset Markets" if Congress fails to act. For AI, the focus is on developing markets for GPU compute power, treating it as a tradable commodity for price discovery and risk management. For prediction markets, the CFTC is moving beyond the "gambling" debate to propose specific rules for event contracts, focusing on product listing standards, market manipulation prevention, and retail investor protection. The chairman emphasized a consistent philosophy: establishing clear regulatory frameworks is essential for fostering responsible innovation in these emerging financial areas.

Nethermind Moves Cross-Chain Node Operations From LayerZero To Chainlink CCIP

Ethereum engineering firm Nethermind has ceased its participation as a Decentralized Verifier Network (DVN) participant for LayerZero and will now operate its cross-chain node operations on Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). As a well-known infrastructure provider, Nethermind's decision adds a credible name to CCIP's operator set, bolstering Chainlink's positioning as a secure, institutionally-focused interoperability standard. The move highlights the increasing scrutiny on cross-chain security and the importance of trusted node operators. However, it represents one major provider's infrastructure choice based on its own priorities and risk assessment, not a market-wide replacement. LayerZero remains a prominent player in the competitive cross-chain messaging landscape. The significance of Nethermind's migration will be clearer if other operators follow suit, potentially strengthening CCIP's position. For now, it signifies a notable credibility boost for Chainlink's cross-chain offering while the broader interoperability race continues.

JPMorgan Research Report Analysis: Moderna's INT Trial Meets Endpoints, but Market Already Priced In

On August 19, J.P. Morgan (JPM) published a research report analyzing Moderna's recent Phase III trial success for its Individualized Neoantigen Therapy (INT), developed in partnership with Merck, in adjuvant melanoma. The trial met its primary endpoint of significantly improved recurrence-free survival and the key secondary endpoint of distant metastasis-free survival. While JPM acknowledged the strong clinical value of these results, particularly the prevention of distant metastasis, the bank stated that this success was widely anticipated, with an 85% prior probability of success, and is already reflected in Moderna's current market valuation. Following the announcement, Moderna's stock rose in pre-market trading. However, JPM maintained its Underweight rating and $40 price target, implying approximately 36% downside from the current price of ~$63. The core rationale is that the success in adjuvant melanoma, a relatively small market in immuno-oncology, is fully priced in. Moderna's future valuation hinges entirely on INT's ability to demonstrate similar efficacy across broader cancer indications. JPM's valuation model incorporates only a modest risk-adjusted value (~$3/share) for the melanoma approval. Approximately $15/share of its target price is attributed to INT's potential in other cancer types. The report identifies upcoming data readouts in non-melanoma cancers (e.g., lung, head & neck, renal) as the critical variable that will determine the platform's ultimate value. Upside risks include better-than-expected data in these new indications, while downside risks involve clinical failures, regulatory delays, or commercial underperformance. In conclusion, JPM views the pre-market stock move as driven by short covering and trading sentiment rather than a fundamental re-rating. The bank remains bearish, arguing that Moderna must now prove INT's efficacy as a platform technology beyond melanoma to justify its current market cap.

Treasury Department Directly Intervenes to Suppress Long-Term Interest Rates

The article discusses the U.S. Treasury's recent direct intervention to suppress long-term bond yields through buyback operations. While distinct from traditional Yield Curve Control (YCC), this move is interpreted as direct government intervention in its own financing costs. The author emphasizes the short-term tactical nature of this action and contrasts it with the Federal Reserve's upcoming, potentially divergent, policy stance at Jackson Hole. The core issue is framed as a long-term U.S. strategic dilemma: managing high deficit levels. The analysis argues that deficit reduction cannot realistically come from spending cuts or traditional industries, but must rely on achieving higher economic growth driven by technological breakthroughs. Current monetary tightening, while possibly curbing yields and inflation in the short term, is seen as potentially counterproductive to this necessary long-term investment in technology and supply chain resilience. The piece draws historical parallels, placing the current intervention between the 2000-2002 Treasury buybacks (for liquidity) and larger-scale Fed-led "Operation Twist" maneuvers. The effectiveness of the Treasury's action is deemed limited without Federal Reserve cooperation, which would signify a more significant policy shift. Ultimately, the author views such technical, bureaucratic interventions as treating symptoms rather than the underlying disease of the U.S. economy's structural challenges and "K-shaped" divergence. The conclusion suggests that sustained yield suppression by the Fed, combined with specific geopolitical outcomes, could serve as a catalyst for a more profound discussion on broader U.S. and dollar trajectory.

What is CRMON

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions. The Technology and Innovation Framework Behind CRMON The technological infrastructure supporting CRMON integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial mechanisms, delivering institutional-grade security and compliance while maintaining the operational advantages of decentralised systems. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, CRMON utilises robust smart contract capabilities to ensure transparent, secure operations. The smart contract architecture incorporates layered security and compliance mechanisms, enabling automated compliance checks and real-time asset backing verification. Integration with oracle services maintains accurate pricing and dividend information, ensuring CRMON reflects the underlying Salesforce stock's accurate performance. This architecture delivers automated dividend reinvestments and other corporate actions, eliminating manual processing requirements and directly enhancing tokenholder benefits. Ondo Finance ensures CRMON's security structure includes daily third-party verification of holdings, independent collateral agents, and a multiple-layer custody system through partnerships with established financial institutions. This framework safeguards tokenholder interests against operational risks while providing robust asset backing. The user interface enhances integration capabilities, allowing seamless interaction between CRMON and various decentralised finance protocols, as well as cryptocurrency exchanges. This interoperability enables users to leverage their tokenised equity across multiple platforms, creating sophisticated investment strategies that marry traditional equity characteristics with blockchain-native innovation. Leadership and Corporate Structure of Ondo Finance The leadership team behind CRMON and Ondo Finance blends expertise from traditional finance and blockchain technology, presenting a robust combination of skills essential for successfully bridging conventional markets with decentralised finance. Nathan Allman, the founder and CEO, emerged from a distinguished financial background before establishing Ondo Finance in 2021. Allman's experience includes notable roles at major financial institutions, including significant contributions to developing cryptocurrency market services. His insights into regulatory compliance were paramount in developing products like CRMON that successfully unify traditional securities with blockchain technology. With a team of professionals boasting substantial experience in both conventional finance and blockchain sectors, Ondo Finance's leadership comprises diverse expertise that covers every aspect of tokenised asset development. Justin Schmidt serves as President and COO, contributing unique operational expertise, while Chris Tyrell brings essential compliance knowledge. Investment Landscape and Funding History The investment landscape surrounding Ondo Finance reflects significant institutional confidence in its mission to tokenise real-world assets. The company has raised substantial funds through various investment rounds, attracting leading venture capital firms and strategic investors that recognise the transformative potential of tokenised securities like CRMON. Notably, Ondo Finance completed a successful Series A funding round in 2022, led by well-known venture capital firms.

The diverse composition of investors reflects broad market confidence in Ondo Finance's business model, demonstrating support from both traditional and blockchain-native organisations. Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology. The technical implementation introduces multiple layers of security, compliance, and operational efficiency to meet institutional standards while enhancing accessibility. The tokenisation process begins by acquiring actual Salesforce stock through U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring each CRMON token maintains direct correlation with the underlying equity performance. Smart contracts automate operational processes, including dividend reinvestment and corporate action processing, facilitating a streamlined user experience. The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications. Plans for cross-chain compatibility through partnerships signal further ambitions for CRMON's market reach. By expanding to other blockchain networks, Ondo Finance aims to enhance accessibility and user engagement with tokenised equity products. Timeline and Historical Development of Tokenized Equity Innovation The timeline of CRMON's development and Ondo Finance's broader tokenised capabilities demonstrates a systematic innovation process beginning with the company's founding in 2021. 2021: Ondo Finance is founded by Nathan Allman and co-founders, launching initial products focused on structured vault offerings on the Ethereum blockchain. 2022: The company completes substantial funding rounds—both equity and token sales—totaling significant capital and launching initial tokenised U.S. Treasury products. 2023-2024: Ondo Finance experiences substantial growth, establishing partnerships with major financial institutions while expanding its product offerings beyond fixed-income securities. February 2025: Ondo Global Markets is announced, marking the transition into equity tokenisation with plans for accessing over one hundred U.S. stocks and ETFs. September 2025: The official launch of Ondo Global Markets includes CRMON alongside other tokenised equity offerings, marking a significant evolution in Ondo Finance's product ecosystem. This timeline highlights the organisation's rapid growth and its capability to adapt its technological and compliance frameworks to accommodate different asset classes effectively while maintaining security and regulatory integrity. Regulatory Framework and Compliance Approach Ondo Finance's regulatory framework showcases a sophisticated compliance strategy, essential for achieving institutional adoption in the tokenised securities market. The company's strong partnerships with U.S.-registered broker-dealers promote adherence to Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and apply robust investor protections. Acquisitions, such as Oasis Pro—a registered broker-dealer—significantly enhance Ondo Finance's compliance capabilities, ensuring thorough alignment with existing regulatory structures. The company employs independent verification procedures that foster transparency, aiming for a solid performance standards reputation. Furthermore, Ondo Finance's commitment extends to international regulatory compliance, ensuring token access remains restricted to eligible investors while adhering to pertinent cross-border securities regulations. Comprehensive attention to tax implications and reporting requirements fortifies the security and compliance landscape of CRMON, ensuring that investor obligations remain manageable. Future Prospects and Market Positioning The forward-looking landscape for CRMON and Ondo Finance illustrates substantial growth opportunities driven by institutional adoption of blockchain technology and escalating demand for efficient alternatives to conventional securities ownership. Market projections indicate the tokenised asset sector could value multiple trillion dollars by 2030. With plans to scale CRMON offerings significantly and integrate it with a dedicated blockchain infrastructure—Ondo Chain—Ondo Finance aims to elevate its institutional-grade tokenised asset operations. Additionally, the development of strategic partnerships enhances distribution capabilities while establishing the company's credibility in the financial market.
