Jeff Yan, co-founder of Hyperliquid, recently stated in the VALR podcast that one of the biggest challenges currently facing the cryptocurrency and fintech sectors is the failure to attract enough top entrepreneurial talent.Jeff Yan believes that, influenced by factors such as the AI boom and social prestige, many of the best young people are unclear about which fields they should engage in to create the most value, resulting in very few choosing to enter the cryptocurrency industry.He stated that reconstructing the financial system from first principles and transforming academic theories into scalable market designs is a highly meaningful endeavor, and he urged young entrepreneurs not to focus solely on the surface value of things but to concentrate on the real problems facing the world and participate in the development and innovation of on-chain finance.

According to The Block, Bernstein pointed out in its latest research report that the perpetual contract structure originating from the cryptocurrency market has first entered the AI computing power market. The Architect AX exchange, registered in Bermuda and not regulated by the CFTC, has launched GPU computing power perpetual contracts, which are anchored to spot prices through funding rates, a mechanism that directly originates from the cryptocurrency market. The cash-settled computing power futures from CME and ICE are still awaiting CFTC review, with a launch expected by the end of 2026.In addition, the CFTC-regulated prediction market platform Kalshi has previously launched prediction contracts linked to GPU rental prices and introduced the computing power pricing curves for B200, H200, and A100 chips on July 14, with the B200 quoted at $5.41 and a historical peak of $7.39.Bernstein noted that unused GPU computing power cannot be stored, and hedging is the only way to bear price risk. However, the current market liquidity is still dominated by speculative funds, and the difficulty in constructing computing power benchmark indices is also a major bottleneck in market development.
