Yang Lingfeng, fund manager of Rongtong Technology Select Fund, believes that the continuous expansion of application scenarios for large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) models is driving a significant increase in token consumption, and the industrys computing power supply has entered a tight phase. The high prosperity of the AI industry chain has a solid industrial foundation, and its growth logic is clearly visible. In his view, the AI industry includes three closely related links: computing power, models (algorithms), and applications. From the industry perspective, AI is still in the investment phase, with strong demand for computing power, while the pace of application implementation and performance realization is at its fastest in history. Yang Lingfeng analyzed that model manufacturers invested heavily in training computing power in the early stages, and subsequent investment growth has been relatively stable. With the rapid increase in AI penetration, inference computing power is showing exponential growth. According to NVIDIAs calculations, inference computing power demand accounted for 40% of total computing power demand in 2024, and it is expected that inference computing power will officially surpass training computing power in 2025.Thailands Finance Minister: Fiscal policy needs to support the economy.Ryanair CEO: This week our fuel suppliers confirmed that they do not expect any supply disruptions until mid-July.

Insurers shun FTX-linked crypto firms as contagion risk mounts

According to multiple market players, insurers are refusing or restricting coverage to clients who have exposure to the insolvent crypto exchange FTX, leaving traders and exchanges of digital currencies uninsured for any losses from hacks, theft, or legal actions.


Due to the lack of market regulation and the unstable pricing of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, insurers were previously hesitant to underwrite asset and directors and officers (D&O) protection insurance for cryptocurrency enterprises.


Now, worries have increased as a result of FTX's collapse last month.


Specialists in the Bermuda and Lloyd's of London insurance markets are demanding more openness from cryptocurrency companies on their exposure to FTX. Additionally, the insurers are recommending extensive policy exclusions for any claims brought about by the company's demise.


According to Kyle Nichols, president of broker Hugh Wood Canada Ltd., insurers are requesting clients to answer questions about whether they have assets listed on the exchange or invested in FTX.


According to Ben Davis, lead for digital assets at Lloyd's of London broker Superscript, clients who transacted with FTX are required to complete a questionnaire outlining the percentage of their exposure.


If a client can't access 40% of their total assets stored by FTX, he explained, "that will either be a decline or we're going to put on an exclusion that limits protection for any claims coming out of their monies held on FTX."


According to five insurance sources, the insurance policies that cover the protection of digital assets and the personal liability of directors and officials of organizations that deal in cryptocurrencies have exclusions that refuse payment for any claims resulting from the FTX bankruptcy. According to a broker, a few insurers have been pushing for plans to include a broad exclusion for everything connected to FTX.


Exclusions may serve as a failsafe for insurers and will make obtaining coverage even more challenging for businesses, according to insurers and brokers.


Even more stringent guidelines are used by Bermuda-based cryptocurrency insurance Relm, which has previously given coverage to organizations connected to FTX.


Relm co-founder Joe Ziolkowski declared, "We're just not going to offer the coverage if we have to include a crypto exclusion or a regulatory restriction.
