币界网报道:

Adaverse刚刚发布了其首份“沙特阿拉伯Web3现状”报告,并将沙特定位为来自世界各地的Web3企业家、投资者和人才的下一个大事件。

沙特的数字游乐场

沙特阿拉伯正成为Web3的热点,这有一些充分的原因。首先,63%的人口在30岁以下,几乎每个人都在上网。政府以友好的法规支持Web3,并且有大量资金流入。

2024年第一季度,中东和北非地区的初创公司从163笔交易中获得4.29亿美元。沙特初创公司获得了51%的现金。

Web3 to become Saudi Arabia's new oil as it dominates the industry

沙特阿拉伯的游戏产业也在蓬勃发展,目前价值18亿美元,预计到2027年将达到60亿美元。金融科技也在加速发展,市场规模为7.46亿美元。

电子商务也很庞大,2023年收入100亿美元,3450万沙特人在网上购物。

Adaverse认为,到2027年,该行业将以13.5%的年增长率增长。不要忘记proptech,其价值为7.63亿美元,是该国2030年愿景经济目标的关键。

沙特vs阿联酋:Web3比赛

中东地区长期以来一直在Web3上采取重大举措。例如,阿联酋已经建立了数字资产监管机构,如迪拜的虚拟资产监管局(VARA)和阿布扎比的阿布扎比全球市场(ADGM)。

去年,ADGM的Hub71推出了一项20亿美元的计划,以支持Web3初创公司。得益于其对加密货币友好的政策,阿联酋已成为加密货币和区块链项目的温床。现在,沙特阿拉伯正在加紧表明它也可以成为Web3的主要参与者。

总部位于英国的Outlier Ventures正在与沙特国家技术发展计划(NPDP)合作推出Web3加速器计划。首席执行官Stephan Apel表示:

“高技能劳动力以及来到沙特王国的人们的奉献精神、教育水平和国际经验非常有趣。”

他指出,沙特Web3生态系统发展迅速,潜力巨大。沙特阿拉伯950亿美元的公共投资基金(PIF)也一直很忙。

据报道,他们一直在与支持Web3初创公司的领先风险投资公司之一Andreessen Horowitz(A16z)进行谈判。

Animoca Brands与利雅得的阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王科技城(KACST)合作,以促进游戏生态系统的发展。

金门风险投资公司也将其办事处扩展到海湾地区,将沙特阿拉伯视为下一个重要的前沿。

Arthur Hayes' New Article: It's 'No-Trade Zone' Time

Arthur Hayes argues that the current market is in a "no-trade zone," a period of high uncertainty created by two converging forces: the deflationary shock from AI and the inflationary shock from geopolitics. AI agents are rapidly displacing knowledge workers, eroding their incomes and creditworthiness, which will eventually trigger a deflationary financial crisis in consumer credit-dependent Western economies. Simultaneously, the war in the Middle East, particularly the potential disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, threatens global energy supplies and could force nations to abandon the dollar system. Hayes outlines three main scenarios: 1) A return to normalcy, where the deflationary AI shock remains the primary concern; 2) The "Tehran Toll Booth," where Iran controls the Strait and demands payment in gold or yuan, accelerating the end of dollar hegemony; and 3) "Empire Strikes Back," where the US destroys Iran's capabilities but risks a catastrophic regional war that sends commodity prices soaring. In all but the most extreme scenarios, Hayes posits that the key driver for Bitcoin's price will be the *quantity* of money, not its price (interest rates). He expects that governments, forced to fund wars and stockpile resources, will have to print money, expanding the money supply. This would be bullish for fixed-supply assets like Bitcoin, even if it occurs alongside rising rates. However, he cautions that until this liquidity is explicitly unleashed (e.g., when bond market volatility spikes), the risk/reward for new long positions is poor. His current strategy is to wait for a clear signal of monetary expansion before deploying capital, preferring to hold gold and select crypto assets in the meantime.

a16z Founder: In the Agent Era, What Truly Matters Has Changed

Marc Andreessen, co-founder of a16z, argues that the current AI boom is not an overnight success but the culmination of 80 years of research, now delivering practical results. He emphasizes that this era is defined by the convergence of four key capabilities: large language models (LLMs), reasoning, coding, and agents capable of recursive self-improvement. Andreessen describes the agent architecture—combining an LLM with a shell, file system, markdown, and cron/loop—as a fundamental shift beyond chatbots. This structure leverages existing software components, allowing agents to maintain state, introspect, and extend their own functionality. He predicts a move away from traditional GUI and browser-based interactions toward an "agent-first" world where software is primarily operated by bots, not humans, with people simply stating their goals. He draws parallels to the 2000 internet bubble but notes key differences: current AI infrastructure investments are led by cash-rich giants and quickly monetized. He highlights that scaling constraints involve not just GPUs but the entire chip ecosystem. Open source and edge inference are crucial for democratizing knowledge and enabling low-latency, cost-effective applications on local hardware. Finally, Andreessen identifies significant non-technical challenges: potential short-term cybersecurity crises, the need for "proof of human" identity solutions, financial infrastructure for agents, and institutional resistance from sectors like education and healthcare. He cautions that societal adoption will be slower than technological change.
