Token Going Global: Selling China's Electricity to the World

The article "Token Goes Global: Selling Chinese Electricity to the World" draws a parallel between the 19th-century British Empire's control over global telegraph networks and China's emerging dominance in AI model-based token consumption. By 2026, data from OpenRouter shows Chinese models (like MiniMax M2.5, Kimi K2.5, and GLM-5) account for 61% of the top ten models’ token usage, driven by significantly lower costs—sometimes 17 times cheaper than Western alternatives. This shift accelerated with tools like OpenClaw, which increased token consumption exponentially, leading developers to seek affordable alternatives. Chinese models offer competitive performance at a fraction of the price, thanks to lower electricity costs, efficient MoE architectures, and intense domestic competition. The core idea is that token consumption represents a new form of “electricity export.” While physical electricity remains in China, its value is delivered globally via tokens—avoiding traditional trade barriers. This mirrors China’s earlier role in Bitcoin mining, but tokens now offer more practical, embedded value in developer workflows. However, challenges like data sovereignty and U.S. chip restrictions remain. The situation is framed as a new strategic competition between the U.S. and China, akin to the space race, where control over AI infrastructure could shape global digital influence. The token-driven battle is ongoing, silent, and fought on every developer’s machine.

Staking Tokens for Equity: How Does Backpack's 'Users Become Shareholders' Work?

Backpack, a Solana-based wallet and exchange platform founded by ex-FTX member Armani Ferrante, has announced a novel staking-to-equity conversion plan. Users who stake the platform’s native token for at least one year can exchange it for real company equity at a fixed ratio, with 20% of equity reserved for this purpose. The platform emerged after FTX’s collapse, having lost 80% of its initial funding from FTX Ventures. It gradually built a user base through its Mad Lads NFT collection and later expanded into exchange services, securing regulatory licenses in Dubai and Europe. Backpack tokenomics includes a total supply of 1 billion tokens, with 62.5% pre-IPO allocation. The TGE will release 250 million tokens, entirely distributed to users. The project is also negotiating a $50 million funding round at a $1 billion valuation. This dual-token-and-equity model presents regulatory challenges, particularly from the SEC, which may view tokens as securities. The structure risks conflicts between token holders and equity investors. While unprecedented in crypto, Backpack’s team includes former Coinbase advisors who had previously explored similar token-equity hybrid models. This approach aims to transform users into legal co-owners, offering an alternative to the typical “peak at launch” token model. It remains a high-stakes experiment in regulatory and economic design.
