元宇宙开启消费新时代。

快手助力蒙牛,推出首位虚拟员工

在快手,虚拟主播成了新的流量密码。

近日,由快手StreamLake助力蒙牛打造的3D写实虚拟人“奶思”,通过“蒙牛牛奶旗舰店”快手账号带来直播首秀。

从数据上看,这场直播吸引了近300万人观看,相较于该账号过去30天内的均值表现,直播间点赞数和评论数分别提升800%和88%,互动量显著提高。

值得一提的是,今年1月,蒙牛才启动快手直播,而此次开启的虚拟人直播是它在快手电商虚拟人直播的首次尝试,也是其内容直播的开端。

从中也不难看出,快手在不断加码虚拟人与虚拟主播赛道,并通过流量扶持优质内容产出。

事实上,早在2021年,快手关联公司北京达佳互联信息技术有限公司,便申请注册了多个“快手元宇宙”商标。

同年双十一,快手小店推出了虚拟主播“关小芳”。

当时“关小芳”在1小时的直播首秀中,累计观看人数达到105万,总点赞量达到了17.2万。

到了2022年,快手在元宇宙上的布局就更精细、更灵活了。

今年3月,快手技术团队上线虚拟偶像歌手“神奇少女张凤琴”,在短短数月时间里,累计了超过20万的粉丝及上千万的浏览量。

9月,快手技术团队在2022世界人工智能大会上宣布推出“快手虚拟演播助手KVS,为快手用户提供丰富的特效玩法,并支持多平台推流直播。

此后,快手又推出面向虚拟人主播的V-star虚拟人扶持计划,并投入了超百亿流量进行扶持。

目前,该计划已吸引狐璃璃、机灵小熊猫、万一、M浔少鹿等虚拟人IP入驻快手,其中狐璃璃开播40天就收获120万粉丝,单日最高涨粉破15万,短视频总播放量超过1亿。

需要关注的是,今年第三季度,快手日活跃用户为3.63亿,较2021年同期增长约4300万,增幅13.4%;月活跃用户突破6亿,达到6.26亿,较2021年同期增长约5300万,两项数据均创下历史新高。

不过,虽然用户数量同比有所增长,但用户规模逐渐见顶,且第二季度未实现盈利,净亏损达27.12亿元。

此外,日活跃用户的日均使用时长为129.3分钟,同比提升8.6%。用户活跃度及停留时间增长的情况下,快手必然需要继续加强优质内容的输出。

也就是说,在流量见顶和内容需求的推动下,元宇宙与短视频、直播的融合成为了快手着力探索的新模式之一。

此前,快手AI技术中心负责人万鹏飞曾表示,快手发力元宇宙产业是有扎实的技术积淀和行业认可度的,并不是刻意而为,今后元宇宙将成为快手发展路径上的重要方向。

近年来,伴随电商场景迈向多元化,虚拟人进军直播间已不足为奇。

尤其在快手兼具多元和垂直特性的内容生态中,利用虚拟人来进行品牌营销更是屡见不鲜。

电商踏入元宇宙

今年以来,各大电商平台在元宇宙赛道上动作频频。

冬奥会期间,阿里推出继AYAYI后的第二位虚拟员工冬冬,并在淘宝直播中售卖奥运会周边商品。

2022年2月,京东推出了美妆虚拟主播“小美”,小美不断亮相YSL、欧莱雅、科颜氏等超20个美妆的大牌直播间进行带货。

2022 年 4 月,淘宝公布 2022 年直播营销三大方向,其中虚拟主播和 3D 场景成为平台的新驱动力。

同年7月,抖音与二次元虚拟偶像“默默酱”合作推出了夏日派对,最终实现站内总曝光量近15亿,其中,单场成交额破百万的好物直播间达135个,破千万的好物直播间达15个。

双十一期间,淘宝上线了三个元宇宙空间试水,其中的“未来城”主要功能以社交互动与直播引流购物为主。

10月17日,继推出虚拟形象“抖音仔仔”后,抖音又推出了虚拟空间“抖音小窝”,与腾讯超级QQ秀的“QQ小窝”类似。

此外,海外的电商平台也刮起了元宇宙之风。

今年,零售巨头沃尔玛与世界最大的多人在线创作游戏Roblox中推出了两个不同的虚拟世界,分别被称为“沃尔玛土地”和“沃尔玛的游戏世界”。

不仅是电商平台,品牌商和MCN机构也在布局元宇宙。

国产品牌方面,家居品牌红豆联合演员胡兵,在抖音开展了一场虚拟直播走秀,虚拟数字人胡兵的出场成为了当天直播的最大亮点。

国外品牌方面,去年9月,美国极限运动潮牌Vans与Roblox开启合作,推出一个以滑板为主题的虚拟世界,名为“Vans World”,是一个融合街头文化、时尚、社交等元素的虚拟空间。

MCN机构方面,由特效制作起家的创壹视频一手打造的“美妆捉妖达人”柳夜熙出道即巅峰,仅发布了一支视频,就收获了450W粉丝。

除此之外,头部MCN机构遥望网络基于旗下主播瑜大公子的形象,打造了其孪生AI主播周小瑜,还孵化了首个虚拟偶像——孔襄。

一方面,连接电商平台的3D购物场景,带来沉浸式漫游购物服务。另一方面,虚拟人进行直播带货和品牌代言,兼顾社交、娱乐和服务。

总而言之,虽然元宇宙是非现实的,但平台、MCN和品牌在其中获得的机遇却是真实存在的,也就是说,元宇宙即将开启消费新时代的说法,是有理可依的。

元宇宙开启电商新纪元

2022年,元宇宙之风刮到了互联网的每一个角落,成了“当红炸子鸡”。

由于元宇宙正处于发展初期,拥有巨大的应用前景和商业化空间。

到2030年,全球元宇宙的市场规模预计高达5万亿美元。

也是由于元宇宙的兴起和火爆,电商迎来了下一个变革风口。

而“虚拟数字人”作为电商踏入元宇宙的最佳手段,目前已经进入发展红利期。

值得注意的是,2021年,中国虚拟人整体市场规模为1074.9亿元,预计2025年将达到6402.7亿元,呈现出强劲增长态势。

与此同时,我国2025年直播人才缺口预计将达到1941.5万人。

这种情况下,场景多样、人设稳定,互动性还强的虚拟直播带货不仅可以填补带货主播缺口,还能给消费者带来更强的场景沉浸感,吸引更多用户驻足停留,并进行消费。

可以说,虚拟主播已经成为电商平台生态布局中不可忽视的一环。

不过,单从沉浸感层面看,当前的虚拟人技术还有很大的进步空间。

此前,李佳琦和洛天依同台直播,洛天依在表演唱歌时,因为技术故障,导致用户“只见其人不闻其声”,可一旁的李佳琦并不知晓直播出现了问题,依旧在称赞洛天依的表演。

由于虚拟主播的应用越来越广泛,直播间出现类似的技术故障情况已不足为奇。

更何况,高质量的虚拟人制作成本极高,制作周期极长,效果还无法保证。

假如虚拟主播不具备真人的真实感,无法带来沉浸感,同时成本还远远高于真人,是难以实现商业价值的。

目前,虚拟人分类日益细分,竞争日渐激烈,是否能避免同质化仍是一个值得探讨的问题。

况且,元宇宙行业尚不成熟,虚拟人尚未形成一整套发展体系,商业化落地及运营还有很长的路要走。

而从元宇宙直播角度看,当前想要打造一个输出稳定、互动性强、用户认可的虚拟主播,仍在技术、运营、成本等方面存在诸多痛点,这需要包括技术提供方、平台方等参与者共同进行探索。

不可否认的是,元宇宙象征着巨大的红利,已经成为了电商平台新的流量密码。

如今,元宇宙的种子已经埋下,未来能否结出丰硕的果实,就看“园丁”是否细心浇灌了。

Securitize's First Post-IPO Financial Report Bombshell: Is the 'Compliant Tokenization' Narrative Failing to Sell?

Securitize, a tokenization platform, released its first earnings report since going public in July 2026, revealing disappointing Q2 results. Revenue fell 5% year-over-year to $14.43 million, missing estimates, while the net loss widened significantly to $21.68 million. Despite achieving record tokenized assets under management of $4.3 billion and a 147% surge in platform trading volume, overall assets under administration declined by 20%. The company's stock (SECZ) dropped over 20% in after-hours trading following the report. The article highlights a key concern: Securitize's revenue declined despite substantial trading growth, suggesting either compressed fees or an unclear business model. While Securitize maintains its focus on regulatory compliance—securing key partnerships with entities like Computershare and NYSE, and obtaining an SEC investment advisor registration—its tangible progress in the new tokenized stock business has been slow. Apart from tokenizing its own stock (SECZ) upon listing, it has not launched other tokenized equities. Analysts note that SECZ's high on-chain market capitalization is misleading, as it resulted from a one-time distribution to shareholders rather than organic investor demand. The market's patience is waning as investors prioritize real business metrics like market share and user adoption over the "compliant tokenization" narrative. Securitize's market value has fallen 36% from its debut, reflecting growing concerns over its shrinking revenue and the delayed execution of its tokenized stock initiatives.

Why Every Investor Needs to Pay Attention to the Federal Reserve

Why Every Investor Should Follow the Federal Reserve Key developments on August 12, 2026, demonstrate how crucial the Fed is. Following the CPI report that matched expectations, markets instantly repriced stocks, bonds, and currencies, adjusting the probability of a September Fed rate hike. The Federal Reserve controls the federal funds rate, the anchor for all borrowing costs. Its "dual mandate" is to maintain stable prices and maximum employment. The current policy rate is 3.50%-3.75% after a series of cuts from 2024-2025. Understanding Fed actions is vital for your portfolio: - **Rate Hikes:** Slow the economy to fight inflation. They pressure growth/tech stocks (due to higher discount rates) and lower bond prices but can initially benefit banks. - **Rate Cuts:** Stimulate the economy. They typically boost growth stocks and bond prices while lowering borrowing costs for consumers and businesses. - **Holding Steady:** Still impactful. Current restrictive policy, with positive real interest rates, continues to weigh on the economy. Market-moving signals now come more from economic data than official guidance. A key change is new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, who has reduced forward guidance, making each data release (CPI, PCE, jobs reports, GDP) more critical for predicting Fed moves. In this environment, investors should track key reports, compare data to market expectations, and understand what is already "priced in." The focus now is on the September 15-16 FOMC meeting. The August CPI (due Sep 11) and jobs report (Sep 5) will be decisive. Ultimately, interest rates are a powerful, continuous force on all assets. Learning to interpret the data that drives Fed policy is an essential skill for navigating today's markets.

MicroStrategy Sells BTC Without a Price Drop, Is STRC's Rebound Truly Good News?

The cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing extreme quiet, with BTC weekly trading volume at its lowest since 2023 and implied volatility hitting bottom. Liquidity is thin, as evidenced by a muted price reaction to CPI data. The market's primary issue is a lack of active participants, not just news. Options data shows traders are pricing in higher short-term downside risks. Market makers' gamma positioning suggests a critical support zone between $61,000 and $60,000; a break below could accelerate a downturn. Two developments are being interpreted bullishly: MicroStrategy (MSTR) selling a small portion of its BTC without causing a price crash, and the rebound of its preferred shares (STRC) from lows near $73 to over $95. However, an alternative bearish interpretation exists. The low liquidity means large entities cannot exit sizable positions easily. A STRK recovery towards $100 could provide the buying pressure these sellers need to finally offload BTC, making the apparent利好 (positive news) actually improve selling conditions. STRC faces a structural ceiling at $100 because MSTR has signaled it will issue new shares around that price, capping upside and inviting short sellers. While recent buybacks boosted the price, they haven't solved this core problem. If STRK cannot sustainably break $100, concerns will grow about MSTR needing to sell BTC for funding. Finally, the Bitfinex Long positions indicator, which typically moves inversely to BTC price, has become ineffective and flat-lined near multi-year lows, offering no directional signal. Large traders are not accumulating on dips as they once did.

Silicon Valley Tech Giants No Longer Need Ethicists

Silicon Valley tech giants are once again sidelining ethicists. Chloé Bakalar, OpenAI's dedicated AI Ethics Lead, left the company in July, a departure emblematic of a broader trend where ethics teams are being disbanded or marginalized in the race for AI dominance. Bakalar's career highlights the tensions between ethical governance and commercial speed. She first made her mark at Meta (formerly Facebook), where she pioneered "embedded ethics," developing tools like checklists to translate abstract principles like fairness and transparency into concrete engineering steps. Her framework aimed to embed ethical considerations throughout a product’s lifecycle—from initial design and data handling to user interaction and deployment. However, this approach faced significant internal resistance. At Meta, her Responsible AI team was eventually disbanded as the company prioritized rapid development, especially in the generative AI race with OpenAI. Bakalar then joined OpenAI in 2025, hoping to influence cutting-edge model development directly. Yet, as the company's sole dedicated ethicist, she reportedly struggled with limited influence and resources amidst intense commercial pressures, leading to her departure after roughly a year. Her exit is not isolated. Similar patterns have emerged across Silicon Valley, with ethics and safety teams at Twitter (post-Musk acquisition) and OpenAI's own "superalignment" team being dissolved. These departures reveal five core, unresolved tensions: 1) the fatal conflict between commercialization speed and ethical caution; 2) the role mismatch where ethicists have prestige but little real decision-making power; 3) the dilution of responsibility when ethics is decentralized as "everyone's job"; 4) the inevitable "translation loss" when complex philosophical values are reduced to quantifiable engineering metrics; and 5) the fundamental clash between academic independence and corporate secrecy. Bakalar’s trajectory suggests that embedding meaningful ethical oversight within hyper-competitive tech companies is profoundly difficult. Lasting change may require external regulatory pressure, like the EU's AI Act, or a fundamental reimagining of the ethicist's role from an internal auditor to a cross-disciplinary builder with genuine authority.
