调查:美国消费者对Web2不满意,对Web3 了解有限

Özet

虽然Web3叙事还没有渗透到公众意识中,但让人们未来接受这一概念似乎有了坚实的基础。

对美国1500名消费者的一些在线调查显示,人们对隐私和科技平台的巨大权力深感担忧,同时也表明Web3尚未成为一个家喻户晓的词汇。
这项研究是由全球洞察和战略公司National Research Group(NRG)于2022年1月进行的。54%的受访者表示,他们担心自己的权利和自由受到技术的威胁,44%的人表示担心网络隐私,38%的人对在线广告感到不满,35%的人表示感觉对自己的数据缺乏控制。近一半的人认为,科技公司积累了太多的权力,必须被拆分。
不过,只有13%的人表示知道Web3是什么,54%的人根本没听说过这个词。在知道Web3的人中,83%的人认为新版互联网将改善他们的生活。在谈到新网络的潜在弊端时,33%的人表示,当去中心化的互联网实现时,他们担心网络犯罪和诈骗会增多。
值得注意的是,美国消费者并不认为确保未来互联网产生积极社会影响的重任主要由监管机构承担:只有32%的人认为,在这个问题上,政治人士和监管机构起着主导作用。超过半数(51%)的人认为这主要是科技公司的责任,50%的人表示这是开发人员和工程师的工作。
在关于加密货币采用的报告中,57%的受访者表示已经或考虑购买加密货币。39%的人认为,与法币和黄金等商品相比,加密货币更类似于股票和股份。
NRG高级副总裁兼全球洞察负责人马Marlon Cumberbatch在接受Cointelegraph采访时表示:
“对我来说,这项研究最出乎意料的发现是,有这么多消费者强烈地感到网络空间缺乏主导性。在这个两极分化日益严重的世界里,很难找到能把我们所有人团结在一起的东西。但似乎美国人,无论收入、政治或种族如何,都强烈地感到,他们在如何处理在线内容以及企业如何使用他们的个人数据方面没有足够的控制权。”
Cumberbatch补充说,调查结果表明“消费者真正渴望一个新的互联网时代”,他们渴望自己能对在线体验有更大的主导性和控制权。在这一点上,主要的障碍似乎是信息的缺乏和公众对Web3相关概念的理解仍然不足。
受访者是根据美国人口普查的年龄(18至64岁范围内)、性别、种族、地区、收入和教育水平等数据,根据配额被选择参与这项研究的。虽然这种方法在严格意义上不能得出代表一般人群的样本,但它确实使我们能够对意见的分布情况作出有力的概括。

Miners Advised Not to Buy GPUs for AI and to Focus on Infrastructure

A founder at an energy investment forum advises bitcoin miners not to purchase GPUs for AI themselves, but to instead focus on infrastructure like power and data center space. Mike Alfred of Alpine Fox stated that while AI infrastructure demand is a long-term, 20-30 year trend, it presents a key choice for miners. The first, riskier model involves owning and operating GPUs, which requires financing expensive hardware that quickly becomes obsolete. The second, more conservative model is akin to real estate: providing colocation services where clients bring their own servers, and the miner sells space, power, cooling, and water. Alfred noted this model is easier to finance. Most existing bitcoin mining sites are difficult and expensive to convert for AI, as AI data centers require far higher construction costs, redundant fiber connections, backup power, complex cooling, and near 100% uptime. A hybrid model, where mining acts as a flexible load to use excess power during AI data center construction or from generation facilities, was discussed. However, participants concluded this is only viable with very cheap power; otherwise, developers are better off focusing solely on AI. Miners are increasingly being evaluated for their available power capacity and project portfolios rather than just bitcoin output. Panelists also warned of risks in the AI sector, predicting at least one major default or contract breach among AI tenants, lenders, or landlords before bitcoin's next halving in 2028.

Millisecond 'Pay-to-Cut': How Did Hyperliquid's Priority Fee Turn into a Multi-Million Dollar Business?

"Millisecond 'Paid Queue-Jumping': How Hyperliquid's Priority Fee Became a Multi-Million Dollar Annual Business" In traditional finance, high-frequency trading firms spend millions on infrastructure for millisecond advantages. Hyperliquid has translated this race onto the blockchain with its "Priority Fee" system, creating an open economic game for speed. This system auctions two types of priority: **Gossip Priority** for faster data feeds (via a Dutch auction every 3 minutes), and **Order Priority** for front-of-queue trade execution (users bid a fee for lower latency). This converts a hardware race into a transparent, market-priced mechanism. Since launch, this feature has generated over $5M in protocol revenue. Projected annualized buybacks from this income exceed $30M, accounting for ~7% of total protocol revenue. The demand stems from large traders and market makers on Hyperliquid, for whom milliseconds can mean the difference between profit/loss or avoiding liquidation. Market makers pay these fees as "protection" to ensure their orders execute first, which in turn improves liquidity for all users. Crucially, Hyperliquid internalizes Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) that typically leaks to external validators or searchers, creating a new revenue stream beyond trading fees. The mechanism also strengthens HYPE's tokenomics. While 97% of trading fees fund secondary market buybacks (via the Assistance Fund), Priority Fees are **directly burned**, adding a second deflationary engine. Furthermore, fees for order priority are deducted from users' undelegated HYPE balances, encouraging large traders to hold and lock up tokens, reducing circulating supply. However, a key challenge remains: balancing the speed needs of institutional players with fair market access for retail users, as those who cannot pay high fees may suffer worse slippage during volatility. In summary, Hyperliquid's Priority Fee is a novel model that monetizes latency, captures MEV for the protocol, and enhances its native token's value through burning and lock-ups.

The Truth Behind Digital Banking: The Fragile Ecosystem Supporting 1.46 Billion Users

The article "The Truth About Digital Banks: The Fragile Ecosystem Behind 1.46 Billion Users" provides a data-driven analysis of the digital banking sector based on a verified list of 368 active neobanks as of July 2026. While these platforms collectively serve 1.46 billion users, with Asia (817 million users) and institutions like WeBank and Nubank dominating the landscape, the sector faces significant structural vulnerabilities. A key finding is that only 127 of the 368 neobanks hold full banking licenses. The majority operate atop third-party infrastructure providers like Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) platforms, creating systemic risk where the failure of a single provider, as seen in past cases like Wirecard and Synapse, can jeopardize multiple consumer brands. Furthermore, the industry experiences a steady, quiet stream of failures, mergers, and shutdowns that often go unreported. The analysis also examines the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), finding only 67 platforms (18%) have deployed AI at scale, with many innovators based in emerging markets like Nigeria and the Philippines. The infrastructure layer is highly concentrated, with 106 providers supporting the entire ecosystem of 368 consumer-facing brands. The article concludes with three predictions: the unlicensed gap will close through acquisitions or exits; an AI credit model is likely to fail in the next economic downturn; and a nascent but significant trend is the emergence of financial services designed for AI agents rather than humans.

Digital Asset Trading Platform Uphold Cuts 17% of Global Workforce Amid 'Crypto Winter'

Cryptocurrency trading platform Uphold has laid off approximately 17% of its global workforce, affecting 85 full-time employees and contractors. The cuts are part of a strategic shift to reallocate resources towards its rapidly growing corporate services business, as retail cryptocurrency trading activity has declined amid the ongoing market downturn. CEO Simon McLaughlin stated the company is restructuring after years of significant growth and remains confident in the long-term prospects of digital assets and blockchain technology. Founded in 2015, Uphold offers trading and custody services for cryptocurrencies, fiat, stocks, and precious metals. It has recently expanded to provide infrastructure for banks, fintech firms, and broker-dealers to integrate crypto services. The layoffs occur against a backdrop of a prolonged crypto market slump, with total market capitalization falling to around $2.1 trillion by Q2 2024. Factors include weakened trading volumes, reduced retail participation, interest rate hikes, geopolitical uncertainty, and net outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. Uphold clarified it is not shutting down its UK operations or any international offices. The company highlighted strong growth in its corporate platform and announced plans to evolve its consumer app into a broader blockchain-based financial assistant by 2026, offering U.S. stocks, tokenized securities, lending, credit cards, and DeFi yield opportunities.
