新創公司Cubby正將科技思維帶入充滿意外的自助儲存領域——並剛剛完成6,300萬美元的A輪融資

(SeaPRwire) -   自助儲存行業裡常發生離奇的事。 2023年,Matt Engfer在德克薩斯州參加了連續兩場留置權拍賣會。在這類拍賣會上,投標者購買被遺棄的儲藏室,完全不知道裡面有什麼,純屬賭一把未知的東西。  因此,打開一個儲藏室的瞬間可能充滿戲劇性。鎖被打開,門捲起,所有人都屏住呼吸。而在德克薩斯州的那一天,第一個儲藏室裡竟然有意外的寶藏——滿滿一屋子價值數萬美元的藝術品。第二個儲藏室則更令人難忘。  「他們打開了那個儲藏室,」Engfer笑著說。「結果裡面有什麼?一個用來飼養蛇類食物的老鼠繁殖設備。你絕對不應該在儲藏室裡養活體動物,但這個設備裡滿滿的都是要賣給養蛇人的老鼠。」 這會是我本週聽到的最好故事嗎?幾乎可以肯定是。但這也讓人窺見自助儲存行業到底有多令人驚訝。自助儲存是那些經典的「隱形卻無處不在」的行業之一——生活中的雜物總得有地方放,而世界上有那麼多人。再說現在是2026年,難怪這個行業會有自己的遺留軟件,Engfer認為這些軟件可以改進。  這就是Engfer和Adam Fleming在2022年創立自助儲存軟件公司Cubby的原因。該公司現在的客戶包括超過400家運營商,擁有2000多個設施,其中包括Atomic Storage Group和American Self-Storage。它還達成了一個關鍵的財務里程碑:Cubby剛剛籌集了6300萬美元的A輪融資,由Goldman Sachs Alternatives的Growth Equity領投,獨家獲悉此事。該公司現有的投資者包括Third Prime和Bienville。 從某種意義上說,Cubby旨在解決經典的企業軟件問題:現有的遺留軟件被許多人認為過時了。甚至在創立Cubby之前,Engfer就遇到了質疑。  「2018年時,即使是線上租儲藏室都幾乎不存在,」他說。「與此同時,你卻可以線上預訂世界上任何一家酒店的房間。所以從客戶的角度來看,顯然技術還不夠好。但行業內的人都很清醒,並不過度熱衷。很明顯這會很難,但機會很多。」 這是因為自助儲存行業規模相當龐大。Engfer告訴我,該行業價值約500億美元,目前全美有超過52000個自助儲存點——比Burger King、、、和McDonald’s在美國的門店總和還多。這是一個利潤率通常在30%到40%之間的行業,需求始終穩定且強勁。  「根據你參考的研究,15%到25%的人口都是某種形式的儲存租客,」他說。「而且這個比例隨著世代更迭而增長。Z世代比千禧一代更常租儲存室,千禧一代比X世代更常租,X世代比嬰兒潮一代更常租。此外,嬰兒潮一代也開始搬出他們的房子。所以,對儲存的需求非常大。」 他補充說,這些多樣化的需求形式也讓自助儲存某種程度上「抗衰退」。因此,Cubby並不是唯一一家試圖在這個廣闊領域提供軟件的參與者。Cubby的主要競爭對手是SiteLink——該國主導的自助儲存軟件提供商,其投資者包括私募股權公司和Cove Hill Partners。Engfer強調:高盛的投資不是私募股權交易。他說,一旦獲得大量關注,Engfer就開始尋找一個增長股權合作夥伴,這個合作夥伴不會過度干預公司經營。 「我們想要一個有遠見的投資者帶來的健康壓力,」他說。「這對我們公司有好處……現在,我們想要一個有幫助的少數股權投資合作夥伴,他懂商業房地產,並會為我們努力——但我們要經營公司,因為我們知道怎麼做。」 我問Engfer為什麼像自助儲存這樣的行業最終如此重要。他的回答主要圍繞著國家的社會經濟狀況。他說,自助儲存行業擁有如今很少見的向上流動機會。 「據我所知,[自助儲存行業]是最後一個你可以不用大學畢業就能找到每小時18美元的現場經理工作的地方,」他說。「你可以升幾次職,成為區域經理,籌集資金,購買或建造設施,然後建立一個非常有價值的房地產投資組合。我知道這是真的,因為我們一半的客戶都是這樣的人。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Ken Griffin 表示,債券市場已向美國發出「明確警告」,是時候整頓國債了

(SeaPRwire) -   儘管目前關於全球經濟的最重要動態似乎來自瑞士阿爾卑斯山的一個小鎮,但東京可能不以為然。本週日本債券市場遭遇大幅拋售,收益率飆至歷史新高。10年期國債收益率飆升至2.2%,而雖然這波拋售的具體觸發點難以確定,但很可能是地緣政治緊張局勢與市場對高市早苗首相提出的21.3兆日圓(1340億美元)經濟刺激計畫(旨在支撐日本負債沉重的經濟)隱隱擔憂的綜合影響。城堡投資(Citadel)執行長肯·格里芬(Ken Griffin)警告,這對美國應是個警示——美國國債收益率本週已逼近5%的危險基準。 「我認為這是個明確的警告:如果你的財政狀況混亂,債券警衛(bond vigilantes)就會出來調整定價,」格里芬在達沃斯的一場活動中表示。 5%的門檻令投資者擔憂,因為此時持有美國國債的回報已與股票收益相當。這之所以令人擔心,是因為債券向被視為均衡投資組合中穩定、低風險的部分;若收益率與股票相當,對追求穩定的投資者而言,風險可能也過高了。 「尤其令人不安的是……當債券與股票價格同步波動時,債券就不再是股票投資組合的避險工具,並失去其在構建投資組合中相當重要的獨特性,」格里芬說。 美國國債本週走勢動盪,源於川普總統上週末宣布,若多個歐洲國家不支持其收購格陵蘭的提議,將對這些國家加徵額外關稅。隨著市場對歐洲及其投資者可能的反應(尤其是是否繼續持有美國國債)猜測升溫,國債收益率飆升。 這種猜測讓美國財政部長斯科特·貝森特(Scott Bessent)感到困擾。他聲稱,德意志銀行(Deutsche Bank)執行長親自打電話向他致歉,起因是該銀行上週末發布的一份報告暗示,歐洲投資者可能會因川普的威脅「用腳投票」(撤資)。德意志銀行的報告只是眾多指出美國國債可能被用來「糾正」川普計畫的分析之一,包括瑞銀(UBS)的保羅·多諾萬(Paul Donovan)就提到,美國的赤字是其「阿基里斯之踵」。 美國的融資問題 儘管近期收益率波動源於短期外交政策,但這也暴露了美國融資的更廣泛問題。美國國家債務現已超過38萬億美元,僅在2025財年最後三個月,政府就支付了超過2700億美元的債務利息。從摩根大通(JPMorgan Chase)執行長傑米·戴蒙(Jamie Dimon)到聯準會主席傑羅姆·鮑威爾(Jerome Powell),各界關注的並非美國債務本身的價值,而是其借款規模與經濟成長的關係。 有人可能辯稱,債務危機永遠不會發生,因為聯邦準備理事會(Federal Reserve)可以直接印更多鈔票(這本身就具有通膨性);但也有人擔心,投資者終將認為美國支出已達不穩定門檻,從而要求更高回報。 「如果美國國債因美國被視為缺乏償債信譽而被視為有風險,那麼債券與股票價格將同步波動。這將導致市場對債券的收益率要求大幅上升,房貸利率會更高;我們為赤字融資的成本也會更高,」格里芬說。 目前,投資者對美國財政軌跡似乎相對樂觀。在川普再次上演「TACO交易」(TACO即「川普總是臨陣退縮」)並撤銷對歐洲國家的關稅威脅後,國債收益率迅速回落。同樣,30年期國債收益率維持在4%至5%之間,符合過去幾年的整體趨勢。 但格里芬補充,這種信心可能不會永遠持續。儘管美國目前「尚未玩火」,他警告:「美國擁有龐大財富,我們可以在一段時間內維持這種赤字支出水平。但我們越晚調整方向,未來改變時的後果將越嚴峻。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Davos Highlights Physical AI as Key Trend, 51 WORLD (6651.HK) Emerges as Industry Implementer

HONG KONG, January 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – January 19, 2026, Davos, Switzerland, The World Economic Forum’s annual meeting kicked off with artificial intelligence retaining its central role in global discussions, while Physical AI emerged as a breakthrough theme shaping the next wave of intelligent systems. Industry leaders including NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon outlined their visions for AI that bridges digital and physical environments—a domain where Chinese tech firm 51 WORLD is already demonstrating tangible progress.During the forum, in a keynote dialogue with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Jensen Huang emphasized Physical AI’s role in overcoming barriers between virtual models and real-world applications. NVIDIA is providing computing power support through its full-stack technology and the next-generation Rubin AI Computing Platform, building an open ecosystem to drive the application of Physical AI across multiple sectors. Jensen Huang articulated the "AI Five-Layer Cake" theory, which views AI as an industrial cluster composed of energy, chips, cloud infrastructure, AI models, and practical applications, with the application layer serving as the core driver of economic benefits.He emphasized that the current massive investments in AI are not a bubble; instead, they will be converted into future returns through a continuous stream of AI applications, with Physical AI serving as the technological foundation for integrating AI into the real economy.On the same day, Cristiano Amon’s keynote speech echoed this sentiment. Centering on the large-scale implementation of AI, he explicitly identified Physical AI as the core focus of Qualcomm’s AI strategy, proposing to leverage edge computing to promote the in-depth penetration of Physical AI in end-user scenarios. Amon stated that the future of AI will not be an "either cloud or edge" choice, but rather a shift toward a hybrid model of "cloud + edge" collaboration. This model will provide an optimal path for the implementation of Physical AI: rapid responses will be completed at the edge, while complex reasoning will be coordinated with the cloud—a transformation expected to gradually take shape in 2026.As a Chinese technology enterprise focusing on the Physical AI field, 51 WORLD has made in-depth layouts in related areas since its establishment, with its business development and strategic planning closely aligning with the industry signals released by the Davos Forum. In terms of core Physical AI layout, 51 WORLD has built three major business lines—51Aes, 51Sim, and 51Earth—around three core technologies: 3D graphics, simulation, and artificial intelligence. This forms a full-chain closed-loop Physical AI ecosystem of "synthetic data - spatial intelligence model - simulation training platform," which highly aligns with Jensen Huang’s emphasis on "full-stack technology support" and Cristiano Amon’s focus on "scenario-based implementation." Leveraging its strong technological barriers and ecological advantages, 51 WORLD has implemented benchmark Physical AI cases in multiple sectors including intelligent driving, transportation hubs, smart factories, and smart energy.From the industry consensus at the Davos Forum to the practical breakthroughs of domestic enterprises, Physical AI is evolving from a concept to large-scale implementation, becoming a new engine driving global economic transformation. With Digital Twin as its foundation and Physical AI as its core, 51 WORLD continues to consolidate technological barriers and expand the boundaries of scenario applications. As it steadily advances on the path of empowering the high-quality development of the real economy, 51 WORLD is well-positioned to seize core competitiveness in the global Physical AI track amid the broader AI industry transformation.

Fujitsu and Mizuho Bank partner to develop new order and payment processing service for SMEs

Kawasaki and Tokyo, Japan, Jan 22, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited and Mizuho Bank, Ltd. today announced a collaboration to develop a new order and payment processing service aimed at creating new value and supporting the sustainable growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This collaboration is driven by a shared goal to co-create next-generation data-driven services.Prior to the service development, both companies successfully established a technology to automatically convert and link disparate order data formats used by ordering/purchasing companies and receiving/delivering companies in the distribution industry. This achievement has enabled a reduction of up to 70% in order processing and reconciliation tasks (operations to clear outstanding balances related to accounts receivable and payable), which were previously performed manually.Through this initiative, both companies aim to jointly create next-generation corporate services that leverage data to support the creation of new value and sustainable growth for mid-sized and small and medium-sized enterprises.The two companies have successfully demonstrated a technology that automatically absorbs and converts differences in data structures and formats between Ryutsu Business Message Standard (Ryutsu BMS,) a standard EDI in the distribution industry used by purchasing companies, and Common EDI for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises used by receiving/delivering companies. This was achieved by utilizing Fujitsu Japan Limited's distribution EDI service TradeFront/6G.Through this demonstration, conducted with the cooperation of purchasing companies using Ryutsu BMS and delivering companies using Common EDI for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, it was confirmed that approximately 70% of order processing tasks were streamlined by eliminating manual input and conversion work.Based on this technology, Fujitsu and Mizuho Bank will promote the creation of next-generation services that fundamentally digitalize manual operations by integrating and linking disparate order data across different industries, beyond the distribution sector, on a single service platform. This will seamlessly connect order processing and payment operations that were previously fragmented between large enterprises and mid-sized and small and medium-sized enterprises. Furthermore, by addressing diverse funding needs through financing methods that utilize order data, the companies will respond to various customer requirements.Figure: Overview of next-generation corporate services BackgroundImproving the efficiency of corporate order processing and reconciliation tasks is a key management challenge for many companies, from the perspective of enhancing productivity and strengthening competitiveness. Some surveys indicate that approximately 70% of companies face challenges with payment reconciliation operations, with an average of about 2,500 transactions processed and approximately 170 hours spent per month.Currently, approximately 30% of inter-company transactions utilize Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for order processing. However, except for standardized EDI in some industries, a large portion of transactions still involve different systems and formats even between EDIs. This leads to manual order processing and reconciliation tasks due to the inability to integrate data management and link with payment data.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation. As the digital transformation partner of choice for customers around the globe, our 113,000 employees work to resolve some of the greatest challenges facing humanity. Our range of services and solutions draw on five key technologies: AI, Computing, Networks, Data & Security, and Converging Technologies, which we bring together to deliver sustainability transformation. Fujitsu Limited (TSE:6702) reported consolidated revenues of 3.6 trillion yen (US$23 billion) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 and remains the top digital services company in Japan by market share.

泰國最古老的水泥公司轉向3D打印以革新其業務

(SeaPRwire) -   位於曼谷唐人街中心的 Ong Ang 運河,在18世紀時是重要的貿易動脈。隨著時間推移,它遭受嚴重污染,甚至獲得該市最髒運河的名聲。 上月,作為政府重振該運河整體計劃的一部分,泰國最古老的水泥公司 Siam Cement Group(SCG)在其水域上揭曉了該國首座[空白]。 這座橋是 SCG 推動將新型建築材料引入東南亞的一部分,負責該公司水泥與綠色解決方案業務的 Surachai Nimlaor 在1月20日的採訪中告訴 。 該公司在2020年代初首次將3D打印技術應用於建築領域,包括2023年在泰國沙拉武里建造的全球首座[空白]。 「使用3D打印時,我們可以縮短施工時間,並打造出傳統建築商可能無法實現的獨特造型建築,」Nimlaor 表示。 該流程包括建立數字模型、將其切片供3D打印機使用,然後讓打印機的機械臂逐層鋪設混凝土以形成結構。由於無需傳統模具或支模,它能實現自由形式的建築,包括雕塑般的曲線和波動的牆壁。例如,SCG 的3D打印醫療中心擁有流暢的外立面,這用傳統澆鑄混凝土很難實現。 感謝 Siam Cement Group 提供 這項技術對泰國尤為寶貴,因為泰國人口老齡化,且勞動力對建築工作心存警惕,導致該行業可用勞工數量萎縮。Nimlaor 解釋說,該行業被迫依賴來自柬埔寨和緬甸等鄰國的外國勞工。(根據柬埔寨勞動和職業培訓部2025年的數據,有[空白]人,其中許多從事建築業。) 不過,Nimlaor 承認,3D打印建築通常只有一兩層高,因為更高的建築會帶來「結構負載和穩定性方面的材料限制」。 泰國第一家水泥公司 SCG 於1913年成立,當時遵照泰國國王拉瑪六世的命令建造曼谷第一座水泥廠。在隨後的一個世紀裡,該公司不斷擴張,專注於三項核心業務:水泥與建築材料、化工和包裝。 如今,SCG 是泰國最大的建築材料公司,2024年營收達145億美元。它[空白],該排名依據營收對東南亞地區最大的公司進行分類。SCG 還擴展到東南亞其他地區,包括在馬來西亞的包裝業務和在越南的石化廠。 綠色化建築業 除3D打印技術外,SCG 還在開發低碳水泥,應對據世界經濟論壇(World Economic Forum)稱約占[空白]的行業挑戰。 SCG 正嘗試研製使用木材等生物質生產的水泥。Nimlaor 表示,這可將生產過程中的碳排放量每噸減少高達20%。SCG 現已將其低碳水泥出口到美國和澳大利亞,那裡的開發商現在更青睞符合ESG標準的材料。 「ESG已成為全球市場非常強大的推動力,」他解釋道。「許多公司現在都有明確的減碳目標和可持續發展承諾。」 SCG 希望推出第三代低碳水泥,這將使生產過程中的碳排放量減少高達40%,但 Nimlaor 期望最終能將排放量減少高達90%。 展望未來,SCG 希望繼續突破極限,開發更環保的建築材料。「可持續性與業務增長必須並行,」他總結道。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

川普不希望美國成為「租房者之國」,但專家表示,他的至少一項提案可能讓購房變得更加遙不可及

(SeaPRwire) -   專家表示,總統唐納·川普(Donald Trump)表示他正在重建美國人擁有住房的夢想,但他最近提出的一項住房政策提案可能會讓這個夢想更加遙不可及。 週三,川普在瑞士達沃斯舉行的世界經濟論壇(World Economic Forum)上發表演講時,吹捧了他最近一系列的住房政策,包括阻止機構投資者購買單戶住宅,並試圖通過指示政府控制的抵押貸款金融公司以及參與抵押貸款支持證券來降低抵押貸款利率。 週三,川普在談到機構購房時表示:「公眾無法買房,這對他們來說太不公平了。我呼籲國會將這項禁令制定為永久性法律,我認為他們會這麼做的。」川普還要求國會將信用卡利率上限設定在10%,他週三稱這「將幫助數百萬美國人為買房存錢」。 川普在達沃斯還直接對華爾街巨頭和機構購房者發表講話,他說:「你們很多人是我的好朋友,很多人是我的支持者,但你們通過購買數十萬套單戶住宅抬高了房價。」 川普說:「這對他們來說是一項很棒的投資,市場上往往有高達10%的房屋被他們買走。你知道,奇怪的是,個人買房不能享受折舊,但公司買房卻可以。」 川普週三在達沃斯的演講中未提及的一項政策,專家稱這項政策可能帶來巨大風險,且對解決住房成本高昂的根本原因作用不大,那就是他提出的允許美國人提取401(k)退休儲蓄用於支付抵押貸款首付款的提案。目前,首付款平均佔房價的19%。根據Redfin的數據,目前……這意味著首付款可能高達8.1萬美元。川普尚未確定美國人可以從401(k)中提取用於首付款的金額上限或百分比。 川普允許美國人使用退休儲蓄支付首付款的最終計劃可能需要國會批准,因為這可能涉及修改稅法。該提案由國家經濟委員會(National Economic Council)主任凱文·哈塞特(Kevin Hassett)於週五宣布,這是川普最新一次試圖解決美國經濟中日益增長的住房可負擔性問題,並防止美國成為他週三在世界經濟論壇演講中所說的「租房之國」。 白宮一位發言人在一份聲明中告訴……稱,川普總統已承諾提高美國人的住房可負擔性。 這位發言人說:「這就是為什麼川普總統簽署了一項行政命令,旨在保護單戶住宅購房者免受大型機構投資者的影響,幫助他們實現美國人擁有住房的夢想。」 使用401(k)資金支付首付款的好處 川普的想法有一些好處。根據美國全國房地產經紀人協會(National Association of Realtors)的數據,首次購房者的數量……此外,該協會稱,在能夠買下第一套房子的人中,有22%已經在使用借款或親友贈予的資金支付首付款。 美國人已經可以從個人退休賬戶(IRAs)中提取高達1萬美元用於購房,且在59歲半之前無需償還,但這一規則不適用於最常見的雇主贊助的401(k)退休賬戶,除非賬戶持有人支付10%的罰款。 美國人可以因某些豁免用途,如從自然災害中恢復和支付一些醫療費用,從退休計劃中無罰款地提取資金,但仍需對延稅賬戶繳納所得稅。2024年,參與退休計劃的人中,這些「困難提取」的比例從2023年的3.6%增至4.8%。 大多數雇主贊助的401(k)計劃還允許美國人在59歲半之前,在有限的時間內從退休儲蓄中無罰款借款,包括用於購房,只要他們連本帶息將借款歸還到賬戶即可。 紐約州加登城阿德菲大學(Adelphi University)的金融教授羅伯特·戈德堡(Robert Goldberg)告訴……考慮到獲取退休賬戶資金的選擇有限,總統的提案可以幫助需要現金的美國人解鎖資金用於支付首付款。這對那些可能難以償還個人退休賬戶貸款的人來說尤其有幫助。 白宮一位發言人在一份聲明中告訴……稱,川普總統已承諾提高美國人的住房可負擔性。 這位發言人說:「這就是為什麼川普總統簽署了一項行政命令,旨在保護單戶住宅購房者免受大型機構投資者的影響,幫助他們實現美國人擁有住房的夢想。」 使用401(k)資金支付首付款的弊端 不過,戈德堡警告說,將401(k)的多元化投資轉換為集中投資於一項資產是有風險的。雖然有些人認為房價總是會上漲,但2008年的房地產市場崩潰表明情況並非總是如此。 他說:「想象一下,房價大幅下跌,不僅跌到抵押貸款的水平,甚至低於抵押貸款水平,這會讓你的權益化為烏有。你不僅會失去房產權益,還會失去401(k)裡的權益。這是個糟糕的結果。」 戈德堡表示,專家稱川普的提案對解決住房市場的供應端問題作用不大。由於在疫情前以較低利率購房的買家一直不願出售房屋,住房市場的供應一直……他認為,在不增加供應的情況下,讓更多人有能力買房可能會在無意中抬高房價,將更多人擋在住房市場之外,而不是讓住房變得更可負擔。 戈德堡說:「有些人會從(川普的計劃)中受益,但總體而言,這只會加劇購房競爭。」 然而,特許退休規劃顧問、獵鷹財富顧問公司(Falcon Wealth Advisors)首席執行官傑克·法爾肯(Jake Falcon)表示,川普涉及退休儲蓄的提案尤其危險,因為這會讓美國人更容易將本應用於未來的重要退休儲蓄用於非退休用途。 截至2022年,45歲至55歲美國人的退休儲蓄中位數為11.5萬美元……然而,這筆錢可能並不夠所有人使用,一些專家建議,普通人需要存下……倍的年薪才能舒適地退休。 法爾肯說:「總的來說,人們的退休儲蓄很可能已經落後了,而這只會讓他們更加落後。」 考慮到美國退休儲蓄的慘淡數據,法爾肯表示,政府應該讓人們更難而不是更容易動用退休賬戶的資金用於其他用途。 他說:「允許人們動用401(k)並不能解決問題。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

(SeaPRwire) -   瑞·達利歐從不錯過開門見山的機會。週三在達沃斯,他在與《》英國和歐洲執行編輯總監卡馬爾·艾哈邁德交談時,對領導人和執行長目前面臨的局勢做出了直率的評估。「讓我一直感到害怕的是(領導人)缺乏現實主義,」他在列舉世界正在應對的歷史性經濟、環境和政治威脅時說道。「法治會佔上風嗎?每個人都必須面對這個問題。」 談到美國經濟,達利歐長期以來一直是快速增長的國家債務的直言不諱的批評者,目前債務規模已達380億美元。他表示,危機如此嚴重,我們現在正面臨「貨幣秩序崩潰」,並面臨一個可怕的選擇:「你要印鈔票,還是讓債務危機發生?」 他在另一個 中表示:「我的孫子以及尚未出生的曾孫,將用貶值的美元來償還這筆債務。」他描述了華盛頓的癱瘓狀態,政策制定者假設債券市場不會崩潰,而債券交易員則假設國會會在危機變得不可逆轉之前採取行動。在談到債務危機時,達利歐經常引用歐內斯特·海明威關於破產如何發生的名言:事情慢慢發展,直到突然發生。 達利歐創立了Bridgewater Associates,這是全球最大的避險基金,但已完全 ,出售了他的股份並於去年離開董事會。自2023年以來,Bridgewater一直由Nir Bar Dea經營;2025年,其Pure Alpha II宏觀基金回報率達34%,較2012年至2024年間表現平平的情況大幅躍升。 達利歐長期以來一直是歷史的學生,他在接受《》採訪時表示,他正回顧過去500年的歷史,試圖理解今天並預見未來。「我能預見2008年金融危機的原因是我研究了1930年代。同樣的事情不斷重複發生;對我來說就像看電影一樣,」他說。 川普的達沃斯演說 達利歐的評論發生在川普總統演說之後不久,川普在演說中宣布不會使用武力接管格陵蘭,並向矽谷提出一項交易:如果他們建造自己的核電廠為人工智慧提供動力,他們的計劃將會 。在《》美國之家活動上,幾位領導人指出,他們認為川普的演講降低了近幾週來不斷升高的緊張局勢。 儘管達利歐一直嚴厲批評美國政府財政的管理方式,但他一直支持川普的其他倡議。12月,達利歐和他的妻子 在川普總統呼籲全國商業領袖為其「川普帳戶」計劃捐款後。達利歐夫婦表示,他們將向康乃狄克州30萬名10歲以下、居住在郵遞區號中位數收入低於15萬美元的兒童承諾250美元。「我很幸運能夠實現美國夢。我很早就接觸了股票市場,它改變了我的人生,」他在一份聲明中表示。他說,他認為這些帳戶是讓孩子走上財務獨立之路的一種方式。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

雷·達利奧警告,隨著特朗普威脅格陵蘭,全球基於規則的秩序已「消失」:「我們別天真了」

(SeaPRwire) -   Bridgewater Associates創始人雷·達利歐(Ray Dalio)在瑞士達沃斯世界經濟論壇上接受的卡邁勒·艾哈邁德(Kamal Ahmed)採訪時,向全球領袖和企業高管發出嚴厲警告:別再假裝舊規則仍然適用。在對當前地緣政治格局的坦率評估中,達利歐認為,二戰後的全球秩序命運——在唐納德·特朗普總統爭取格陵蘭島和動搖北約(NATO)聯盟的背景下備受爭議——已是毫無意義的問題。 「我們別天真了,別說『哦,我們正在破壞基於規則的體系』,」達利歐表示,「它已經不復存在了。」 這位史上最大對沖基金的億萬富翁創始人補充說,作為金融史的研究者,他密切關注過去500年的經濟週期,並發現週期會隨時間重複。 「透過這項研究,我學到的是同樣的事情會反覆發生,」他說,「對我來說,這就像一部電影,就像在看同一部電影重演。」 根據達利歐的說法,五種特定力量相互作用推動情節發展,其中「貨幣債務週期」是引發一切的麥高芬(MacGuffin)。他解釋說,當前不穩定的根源在於過去幾十年的貨幣政策決策。達利歐指出,自1971年美國總統理查德·尼克森(Richard Nixon)打破美元與黃金的掛鉤以來,各國政府一貫選擇「印鈔」,而非讓債務危機自然發展。這種行為發生在債務償還支出增長速度超過收入、擠壓消費之時。他在公開言論中反覆警告這一點,並認為經過半個多世紀的這種做法後,世界正見證「貨幣秩序的崩潰」,其證據是各國央行調整儲備並購買黃金。 前一天,達利歐在達沃斯年會期間接受CNBC的「」節目採訪時表示,法定貨幣和作為財富儲存手段的債務「不再以同樣的方式被各國央行持有」。他指出,美國市場在特定指標上表現遜於外國市場,這種脫鉤趨勢可從全球央行不斷變化的資產負債表中看出。 達利歐擔憂的核心在於從貿易爭端向他所謂的「資本戰爭」過渡。他提到,美國國債數十年來一直是全球儲備的基石,但現在,美國產生的龐大債務供應正與全球持有意願下降發生衝突。 「這是供給與需求的問題,」達利歐指出,並補充說,「你不能忽視一種可能性——或許人們購買美國債務的意願已不如從前。」 這種不情願是由地緣政治摩擦驅動的。達利歐表示,在國際衝突時期,「即使是盟友也不願持有彼此的債務」,反而更願意將資本轉向硬通貨。這種轉變迫使債務發行者將其貨幣化,達利歐直率地總結這一現象:「我們越來越多地購買自己的貨幣,這就是……這一切帶來的教訓。」 達利歐周一發表講話時,市場經歷了一波波動,因為他們消化了唐納德·特朗普總統要求美國擁有格陵蘭島以報復2025年未獲得諾貝爾和平獎的消息。週末的確認報導顯示,他憤怒地向挪威首相約納斯·加爾·斯特勒(Jonas Gahr Støre)發送了短信,儘管諾貝爾獎委員會獨立於挪威政府運作。但達利歐周二的言論發表時市場較為平靜,因為特朗普重申了對格陵蘭島的請求,但澄清他不會授權使用武力獲取該島。 達利歐周三告訴,這種經濟不穩定直接導致政治規範的崩潰。他認為,1945年建立的多邊世界秩序——以聯合國和世界貿易組織等機構為特徵——從一開始就可以說是一個「天真的體系」,因為它依賴代表性卻沒有保障執行力。 「當領導性大國不願遵守投票結果時會發生什麼?」達利歐問道,「你真的期望聯合國投票或國際法院能解決這些問題嗎?」 他認為,其結果是從多邊體系向單邊體系的明確轉變。達利歐提出,我們這個時代的核心問題已變為:「誰制定規則,誰執行規則,以及你將如何應對?」 達利歐分析中最令人不寒而慄的方面或許是法律權威被蠻力侵蝕。「權力比法律更重要,」他告訴,並指出衝突越來越多地由誰控制軍隊、警察和國民警衛隊來決定。這種趨勢不僅在國際上可見,在各國境內也同樣存在——民主受到民粹主義和對體系腐敗的日益增長的信念威脅。 當被問及這種破裂是否應該讓長期依賴穩定全球規則的公司董事會和CEO感到恐懼時,達利歐回應說,忽視真相要危險得多。 「我認為一直讓我害怕的是缺乏現實主義,」他說。 達利歐建議領導者停止依賴正在解體的基於規則的體系,轉而專注於「管轄權問題」,尋找人們「志同道合」且相互支持的地方。無論是處理國際邊界還是國內法規,達利歐堅持認為企業現在必須面對一個殘酷的現實:有保障的法律保護時代即將結束。 「法律會勝出嗎?」達利歐問道,「在國際上,每個人都必須面對這個問題。」 隨著對機構、法律本身和法定貨幣計價債務的信心逐漸喪失,達利歐向CNBC強調了黃金靜默但意義重大的復甦。他強調,黃金不應僅被視為投機資產,而應被視為世界上「第二大儲備貨幣」。他指出,在前一年,黃金是「波動最大的市場」,並且隨著央行多元化其持倉,黃金的表現遠好於科技股。JPMorgan首席執行官傑米·戴蒙(Jamie Dimon)在10月的「最具影響力女性」會議上發表了類似言論,當時他表示,這是他有生以來第一次認為在投資組合中持有黃金是「半理性的」。 然而,達利歐的展望並非完全防禦性的。他表示,他將當前時代視為正在衰落的貨幣秩序與「精彩的技術革命」之間的分歧,這與特朗普當天早些時候在台上關於正在發生的「經濟奇蹟」的言論相呼應。至少在這方面,強權即公理(might makes right)。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

如果川普不就格陵蘭島問題讓步,歐洲可能傷害美國經濟的7種方式

(SeaPRwire) -   川普總統在達沃斯世界經濟論壇上告訴與會者,他不會使用武力奪取格陵蘭,全球為之鬆了一口氣。但如果丹麥拒絕將其領土出售給美國,他仍在推動對歐洲加徵關稅。川普的計畫已 。比利時首相巴特·德韋弗(Bart De Wever)表示:「做快樂的附庸是一回事,做可憐的奴隸則是另一回事。」法國總統艾曼紐·馬克宏(Emmanuel Macron)表示,川普「不斷累積新關稅」的做法「根本無法接受」。與此同時,歐洲委員會主席烏蘇拉·馮德萊恩(Ursula von der Leyen) 來自美國,並使這種獨立性「永久化」。但歐洲是否有足夠的經濟武器迫使白宮重新考慮? 根據華爾街分析師的說法,也許是的。 根據George Saravelos(來自 、 )、Macquarie的Thierry Wizman與Gareth Berry,以及Pantheon Macreconomics的Samuel Tombs和Oliver Allen的研究,以下是如果川普對格陵蘭問題拒絕接受「否定」答案,歐盟可能從經濟上傷害美國的七種方式。 透過鼓勵投資者將資本資產留在歐洲,減少對美國債券和股票的外國直接投資供應。Saravelos幾天前告訴客戶:「歐洲國家持有8兆美元的美國債券和股票,幾乎是世界其他地區總和的兩倍。」 對美國進口商品課徵去年歐盟接受關稅協議時提出但隨後取消的1000億美元關稅。  利用《數位服務法》(Digital Services Act)進一步限制美國科技公司的營運方式。  實施「購買歐洲」法案,引導政府採購更多向歐洲供應商傾斜。 實施《反脅迫工具》(Anti-Coercion Instrument, ACI),對美國服務業公司及與美國政府有關聯的公司加徵關稅。ACI實際上將禁止美國服務業公司在歐洲營運,而歐洲在與美國的服務貿易中享有順差。這項措施常被稱為歐洲的貿易「火箭筒」(bazooka)。 Macquarie表示:「對出口到美國的難以替代的歐盟產品徵收出口稅,例如晶片製造設備或專用機械。」若剝奪美國對荷蘭半導體供應商ASML的存取權——該公司在某些技術上幾乎壟斷——將給許多美國科技公司帶來物流挑戰。 對在格陵蘭營運的美國公司實施制裁。 Saravelous在 告訴客戶:「美國有一個關鍵弱點:它依賴他人透過龐大的對外赤字來支付賬單。另一方面,歐洲是美國最大的債權人:歐洲國家持有8兆美元的美國債券和股票,幾乎是世界其他地區總和的兩倍。在西方聯盟的地緣經濟穩定受到根本性破壞的環境下,不清楚為什麼歐洲人會願意扮演這個角色。」 川普不太可能坐視不管。Klement在他的Substack上寫道:「當然,這些行動短期內會引發川普的升級反應,這就是為什麼像德國的弗里德里希·默茨(Friedrich Merz)等一些歐盟領導人目前試圖軟化歐盟的回應。 他寫道:「但2025年也顯示,如果各國立場堅定,升級循環會在幾週內結束,一旦川普意識到無法脅迫他人服從,他就會退縮(或者我應該說「膽怯」?)。」 Macquarie的分析師警告,對美國實施全面經濟制裁套餐將加劇美國的物價通膨。他們表示:「歐盟有能力進行經濟報復,並可能這樣做,希望歐盟對(美國的威脅或軍事行動)採取堅定的報復行動,能在幾週內結束升級循環,而且這是值得承擔的風險。歐盟實際上能做什麼?歐盟能採取足夠措施傷害美國經濟和美國安全,而這些與貿易相關的措施可能共同引發通膨。」 Tombs和Allen表示,ACI這支「火箭筒」不會讓美國癱瘓,但會造成傷害。他們告訴客戶:「2024年美國對歐盟的服務出口額為2950億美元,相當於美國GDP的0.9%,這表明如果歐盟動用這一相對較新的手段,而非僅以關稅回應,造成的傷害可能大得多——儘管歐盟經濟也會受到更大傷害。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

AmplifiX Releases Comprehensive Sector Report on the Rapid Acceleration of Real-World Asset (RWA) Tokenization

DAVOS, SWITZERLAND, Jan 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - AmplifiX today announced the public release of its newest sector intelligence report, Tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA): Sector Analysis Deep Dive, a detailed examination of the technological, regulatory, and market forces driving what many now call the next major evolution in global finance. The full report is now available at no cost to readers.As highlighted in the research, tokenization is rapidly shifting from experimentation to early commercialization, with “cash and collateral” instruments—particularly tokenized U.S. Treasuries and money-market products—emerging as the dominant early use case. This new programmable settlement layer is beginning to power workflows across payments, trading, collateralization, financing, and asset servicing, forming the foundation for a more efficient and interoperable financial system.The report outlines the market’s accelerating momentum, including institutional clarity around stablecoin legislation, maturing compliance infrastructure, and the growing presence of qualified custody and lifecycle administration platforms. It also underscores that near-term sector leadership will be defined not by L1 blockchain throughput, but by who delivers regulatory-grade issuance, institutional custody controls, credible distribution channels, and cross-chain interoperability frameworks.In addition to macro framing, the report provides a comprehensive landscape review across the entire tokenization value chain—issuance, custody, wallet governance, distribution, and data layers. It features comparative valuation benchmarks across leading private companies, public-market analogs, and crypto-native RWA protocols. The analysis also expands the private-company universe to include OpenWorld, a full-stack tokenization and public-market structuring platform, along with updated operating metrics from Securitize, Fireblocks, Taurus, Anchorage Digital, and others.Citing recent forecasts from BCG, Standard Chartered, and global regulators, AmplifiX notes that credible estimates place the tokenization opportunity between $16 trillion and $30 trillion over the next decade. Yet the report also emphasizes the importance of diligence, highlighting legal enforceability, custody/segregation requirements, operational resilience, and cross-border regulatory alignment as central pillars for sustainable global adoption.“With regulatory clarity increasing and institutional infrastructure finally reaching maturity, tokenization is entering a transformational phase,” an AmplifiX spokesperson said. “Our goal is to provide the market with unbiased intelligence that helps investors, institutions, and policymakers navigate this rapidly evolving domain with confidence.”The full report is available for free and across 35 languages at: https://www.amplifix.net/intel/rwa-tokenization-articleDisclaimerThis report and press release are for informational and educational purposes only and do not constitute investment, legal, or financial advice.

Google Cloud 高層談軟體的大重置與確定性的終結:我們正從可預測性轉向機率性

(SeaPRwire) -   我們目前正在見證軟體歷史上最巨大的碰撞。 你可能在AI的討論中聽過「確定性」(deterministic)和「機率性」(probabilistic)這些術語,但它們真正的含義是什麼?這對你的業務又有什麼意義? 一方面,是確定性模型。這是我們過去50年來建構軟體與企業的方式。你購買的每一款軟體——從CRM系統到基礎試算表——都是精準、受規則約束且零容錯的。輸入A加上輸入B永遠等於輸出C。如果不是,那就是有需要修復的漏洞。 另一方面,生成式AI(Generative AI)打破了這條規則。它是機率性、創造性且依賴上下文的。相同的輸入可能產生不同的輸出。它是推理引擎,而非計算器。 這讓你能提出確定性系統無法回答的問題。今年關稅會對我的收入造成什麼影響?台灣海峽的衝突會如何影響我的大宗商品定價?這類問題沒有確切答案,但基礎AI模型能分析海量數據並模擬多種結果,為你的決策提供資訊。  你目前在營運模式中感受到的摩擦——從合規到品質控制——是因為我們的業務系統是為了追尋並消除不確定性而建立的。然而,你無法將機率性引擎強塞進確定性的營運模式中。要充分發揮生成式AI的威力,領導者必須停止將AI當作更快的試算表。  新時代的贏家將是那些停止試圖壓制不確定性、轉而將其營運化的企業。以下是重塑業務並充分利用AI未來所需的三項轉變。 衡量自主性,而非僅效率 在確定性的世界中,軟體價值以存取權(席位)和效率(人類工作的速度)衡量。我們將軟體視為強化員工的工具。 生成式AI翻轉了這個模型。我們正從「軟體即服務」(software-as-a-service)轉向「服務即軟體」(service-as-software),其中價值在於結果,而非工具本身。如果AI代理撰寫法律簡報或解決客戶問題,衡量標準不再是人类使用軟體節省了多少時間,而是人類是否需要參與其中。 這需要不同的指標。我們需要停止衡量努力程度,轉而衡量自主性。AI代理是否始終符合事實?它是否縮短了決策時間?任務完成率是多少?而對擴大利潤最關鍵的指標是:AI代理是否在沒有人類干預的情況下解決了問題?目標不是更快的勞動力,而是能無限擴展的勞動力——因為瓶頸(人類)已從循環中移除。 管理不確定性,而非消除它 大多數企業試圖將機率性AI硬塞進確定性、受規則約束的營運模式中。這行不通。當傳統領導者看到AI模型產生幻覺(hallucinate)時,他們會恐慌。他們想關閉它,直到它「100%準確」。 但100%準確是確定性的幻想。正確的做法是用管理不確定性的防護欄(guardrails)包裹機率性引擎。在,我們談論「接地」(grounding)和信心分數。領導團隊需要停止問「這個答案對嗎?」,轉而問「我對這個輸出有多有信心?」在Google,我們教導員工,AI代理不是用來產生答案的,而是用來生成推理的。  為了避免這種情況,我們需要建立這樣的系統:當信心度高時,AI自主運作;當信心度下降時,優雅地轉交給人類專家審核。  就像Google的AlphaFold為其蛋白質結構預測提供信心等級一樣,你的業務AI需要給領導者一個他們能回應的分數。這些干預成為訓練模型並推動持續改進的回饋循環。 將數據轉為回饋,而非僅事實 這項技術不會取代人類,但會將他們的主要職能從執行轉向專業。 在確定性系統中,數據是用於報告和歷史分析的真相賬簿。有了生成式AI,數據成為即時回饋和行動。你的歷史數據訓練你未來的勞動力——你的自主AI代理艦隊。雜亂的數據會造就無能的數位勞動力。 這要求人類角色的演變。在確定性世界中,我們僱用大量基層員工從事機械性執行工作。在機率性世界中,AI承擔了繁重的工作。它能即時生成初稿、初始程式碼、基礎分析。 我們現在看到演變正在發生。起初,人類工作,AI協助。接著,AI工作,人類監督,必要時介入。最終,AI獨立運作,人類定期審計。如果人類需要批准AI代理的每一個決策,你只是創造了一個昂貴的拼寫檢查器。  這造成了巨大的人才轉變。我們不需要只會執行的人;我們需要會審計的人。AI能即時生成普通的工作成果。你需要足夠專業的人類,能在幾秒內辨識「卓越」與「良好」。我們需要主編(editors-in-chief)。我們需要有專業能力的人才,能看到AI輸出後立即區分「合理」與「傑出」。辛勞的學徒制已不復存在;我們需要建立判斷的學徒制。 帆船與火車 最大的競爭優勢將屬於那些能以容忍模糊性換取指數級速度的領導者。 可以這樣想:幾十年來,我們一直在建造更快的火車。火車在鐵軌(規則)上運行。它高效、可預測,並準確前往你計畫的地方。如今,我們正在建造帆船。它們依賴風(機率性數據),能到達鐵軌無法抵達的地方。但沒有舵(防護欄)和指南針(基礎事實),你會翻船。 要求100%確定性的領導者將停滯在過去,完善一個即將滅亡的模型的效率。未來屬於那些學會擁抱並駕馭機率的人。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

NYSE 的大型代幣化計劃是包裝成創新的霧件

(SeaPRwire) -   1998年,全球最大的電信公司AT&T與當時受歡迎的新創公司Excite簽訂了一系列協議。透過在其龐大的有線電視網絡上分發Excite的內容和搜尋工具,該公司認為自己可以將主導地位延伸至新興的互聯網時代。當然,(某方)另有計劃,如今其市值是AT&T的20倍。 當我閱讀紐約證券交易所(New York Stock Exchange)有關代幣化證券新平台的消息時,我想到了AT&T。這條新聞對區塊鏈來說是一個分水嶺時刻,因為不僅NYSE是一個標誌性品牌,其母公司ICE還擁有全球其他交易所和清算系統。如此實力雄厚的公司擁抱(這項技術)意味著區塊鏈技術終於要主流化了。 再加上國會很可能通過(相關法案)將加密服務整合到當前金融體系中,未來似乎很明確:股票將被代幣化;監管機構將監督基於區塊鏈的發行和交易新時代,而NYSE及其同行將引領潮流。 不過,別急。前兩件事幾乎肯定會發生,但這並不意味著第三件事也會發生。就像1990年代後期的AT&T和通信行業一樣,NYSE在當前金融時代的主導地位並不意味著它能主導下一個時代。 事實上,有充分的理由懷疑這一點——首先從NYSE公告的語氣來看,其中充滿了炒作和流行詞,但幾乎沒有細節。如果這家交易所想表明自己認真要成為區塊鏈金融時代的主要參與者,它應該解決一些明顯的問題。 首先,NYSE計劃支持哪些區塊鏈和穩定幣?其計劃中的代幣化交易所是否確定了編程語言、虛擬機和代幣標準?這只是開始。NYSE對其將服務的司法管轄區,以及是否將整合去中心化代幣和DeFi工具也保持沉默。公告也沒有提到NYSE自身打算在代幣化體系下如何賺錢。 考慮到NYSE的宏大計劃「有待監管批准」,缺乏細節就更令人好奇了。監管機構比任何人都更需要這些問題的答案。當Galaxy Digital將自己的股權代幣化時,它發布了一份關於棘手細節的長篇(文件),而那只是一家公司。對於像NYSE這樣的大型交易所來說,考慮因素要複雜得多。 NYSE公布的細節只增加了我的懷疑。他們的平台據說是24小時運營,但你不需要代幣化就能做到這一點。你只需要一個資料庫,諷刺的是,像NYSE這樣的交易所運營著一些世界上最好的資料庫。沒有技術上的理由阻止他們24小時運行。NYSE計劃使用區塊鏈進行即時結算也是如此。它可以使用當前技術做到這一點,只不過這會損害交易所當前許多合作夥伴的商業模式。 那些認為持續交易和即時結算僅限於區塊鏈的人並不理解像Ethereum這樣的平台的特別之處。當然不是資料庫部分——作為資料庫,Ethereum很糟糕。 無需許可的區塊鏈能夠實現新型金融活動,因為它們建立在不同的架構之上。程式碼和加密技術是其中的一部分,但佔比更小。更重要的是存在類似不記名資產的東西,公眾可以在全球範圍內訪問,無需經過大量中介機構。 NYSE可以部署它想要的所有計算機科學和公鑰加密技術。除非它的新平台淘汰許多合作夥伴——其中一些由同一母公司擁有——否則它不會走得太遠。諷刺的是,保留中介是少數明確的設計元素之一: 該平台旨在符合市場結構的既定原則,透過向所有合格經紀交易商提供非歧視性的訪問權限進行分發。 請注意,將僅限於「合格經紀交易商」使用的解決方案稱為「非歧視性」是矛盾的。這是典型的創新者兩難。如今,NYSE的客戶是經紀交易商、高頻交易(HFT)公司和清算會員。它透過向他們收取訪問、交易、主機代管和數據費用來賺錢。這些收入來源在公共區塊鏈的DeFi中都不起作用。 那麼,一家有200年曆史的機構該怎麼做?當然是建立一個替代平台。 Excite沒有成功,而AT&T也不再像從前那麼重要。但事情本來不必如此,因為1999年Google的聯合創始人提議以(某價格)將Google賣給他們。這筆交易被拒絕了,部分原因是Google搜索太好用了——更快的搜索引擎意味著人們在入口網站花的時間更少。來自按分鐘收費文化的高管認為這是件壞事。 NYSE的高管們也有類似的看法,否則他們會爭相直接整合到DeFi中。相反,他們以自己的方式進行代幣化,以服務於客戶和業務模式的方式。 他們有權嘗試,而這一嘗試是一個強有力的信號,表明事情即將改變。我們不應該把它看得更重。 Omid Malekan是哥倫比亞商學院(Columbia Business School)的兼任教授,著有多本關於加密貨幣和金融的書籍。此處表達的觀點完全是他個人的。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Match Group 指出「準備就緒悖論」正阻礙 Z 世代的約會:對在 Instagram 上「正式公開戀情」的恐懼使情況惡化

(SeaPRwire) -   Z世代有時因其 或 而受到批評。但這一代面臨的挑戰與他們的長輩截然不同。這些年輕人正在放緩對尋找「真命天子/天女」、擁有住房和生兒育女這類美國夢的追求。 但根據 和 Harris Poll 獨家提供給 的 ,這並非因為Z世代不想尋找愛情。事實上,他們對2500名隨機挑選的美國成年人進行的調查結果顯示,80%的Z世代表示他們相信自己會找到真愛,這使他們成為對尋找愛情最樂觀的一代。然而,只有55%的Z世代覺得自己實際上準備好進入伴侶關係。 這就產生了「準備悖論」,這種現象阻礙了Z世代邁出通往認真戀愛關係的第一步,繼而也阻礙了通往婚姻和生兒育女的道路。儘管擁有線上聯繫,超過 的Z世代女性表示,她們感到額外的壓力,需要為了「正確的理由」而進入一段關係,而不僅僅是為了避免孤獨。這種循環將年輕人困在孤獨中,而社交媒體的壓力加劇了這種情況,例如對「正式公開」一段關係的恐懼。 「陷入那種癱瘓狀態是完全合理的,我想要這個,我想要一段關係,但我覺得自己還沒準備好,所以我不去做,」Match Group 的策略、企業發展和業務運營主管 Chine Mmegwa 告訴 。「他們害怕的是失敗。他們害怕的是另一邊的那個人還沒準備好。」 Match Group 將這種現象定義為一個「自我強化的循環」:Z世代為戀愛關係的準備度設定了高標準,然後對孤獨感到焦慮,接著渴望新的關係,又認為自己還沒準備好而等待更久,經歷更多的孤獨,然後循環重複。 而這種循環部分源於Z世代比其他世代更優先投資於個人成長、心理治療和定義成功。根據 Match Group 的報告,近60%的Z世代女性認為心理治療對戀愛成功至關重要,近50%的人表示設定並尊重健康的界線是準備好投入浪漫關係的主要指標。因此,他們可能更傾向於推遲約會。 這份報告為 Match Group 和其他交友軟體公司提供了一個起點,重新思考如何最好地服務Z世代消費者, 當他們確實擁有能引起共鳴的功能時。但現在 Tinder 已經為Z世代引入了更隨意的相遇模式,例如通過其雙重約會功能和大學模式,讓這一代人可以結識更多擁有相同戀愛目標的人。 對於一個正回歸渴望在現實生活中見面的一代來說,這是朝著正確方向邁出的一步。 「這就是Z世代想要連結的方式,」Match Group 執行長 Spencer Rascoff 此前 表示。「他們想要透過感覺來認識人。」 重新排序人生里程碑 與其他一些關於Z世代愛情生活的報告所描繪的不同,他們並非拒絕浪漫。相反,在經濟和社會壓力下,他們正在重新安排人生的時間表。 Match Group 的報告顯示,近一半的Z世代表示他們現在還沒準備好談戀愛,75%的人不急於進入一段關係。但是,再次強調,80%的人表示他們相信自己會找到真愛。 「他們相信,當他們努力提升自己時,他們的關係會變得更牢固,」根據 Match Group 的報告。「而且他們更可能等到能夠展現最好的自己時,才給自己最高的戀愛成功機會。」 儘管這對一家試圖吸引最新一代的公司來說可能聽起來像是令人擔憂的消息,但 Mmegwa 並沒有迴避這個挑戰。 Z世代「仍然指望我們的產品來解決真正的大問題。而且他們仍然指望我們的產品和約會來解決對他們來說最重要的事情」,她說。「問題只在於他們何時以及如何使用我們的產品,這與前幾代人非常不同。」 這一代人對自己父母和祖父母關係的幸福程度也有非常不同的看法:根據報告,只有37%的人認為那些關係是幸福的,34%的Z世代女性也認為,解決過去關係中的問題表明已經準備好(迎接新關係)。 社交媒體的惡性循環 高度充斥於 和 也加劇了準備悖論。雖然有46%的Z世代會「低調公開」戀情,而總體比例為27%,但81%的人將其視為鐵板釘釘的協議,並害怕公開失敗後的負面反應。 這與其他世代對公開關係的看法不同:「你也可以正式公開,然後第二天刪除照片,這也沒關係,」Mmegwa 說。 但儘管如此,對Z世代來說,關係的表現壓力創造了一個循環:高標準的準備度導致孤獨,這最終導致他們追求風險較低或隨意的關係,這些關係很少升級為更認真的關係。 加劇了這種停滯。雖然有46%的Z世代會「低調公開」戀情,而總體比例為27%,但81%正式公開的人將其視為鐵板釘釘的承諾,害怕公開失敗。Mmegwa 強調了這種世代轉變:「你也可以正式公開,然後第二天刪除照片,這也沒關係。」這種「表現壓力」創造了一個循環:高標準的準備度導致孤獨(超過50%的人儘管有線上聯繫仍感到孤獨),促使人們建立風險較低的連結,這些連結很少升級。 「對我們來說,重點是我們如何將人們聚集在一起,並鼓勵他們回歸面對面的聯繫,」Hinge 執行長 Jackie Jantos 此前 表示。Hinge 是 Match Group 旗下的一員,同屬該集團的還有 Tinder、Match 和 OkCupid。 Match Group 計劃如何解決準備悖論 Match Group 計劃在Z世代所在之處與他們相遇:他們將繼續引入 ,例如 Tinder 的 Double Dating 功能和 College Mode。 「這裡的想法實際上是圍繞著幫助我們的用戶有能力控制他們在特定時刻尋找什麼,並能更容易地找到它,」Tinder 全球產品行銷資深總監 Cleo Long 此前告訴 。 Mmegwa 表示,利用這份報告作為新產品計劃的路線圖,未來的功能可能包括像準備度信號這樣的功能,而更多精心策劃的匹配將變得重要。 「這不再是一場速度和數量的遊戲,」她說。「這關乎真正讓我們的演算法幫助你更好地了解自己,然後幫助你更好地了解連結另一邊的那個人。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

獨家:Alphabet旗下CapitalG任命Jill Chase與Alex Nichols為普通合夥人

(SeaPRwire) -   我喜歡觀看「下一個上場的人」(Next Man Up) 籃球賽,因為聚光燈會以難以預測的方式輪轉。今晚可能是替補後衛砍下30分,明晚又換角色球員拿下大三元。 CapitalG 的 Jill Chase——她曾在威廉姆斯學院擔任大學籃球隊隊長——表示,這種邏輯實際上適用於 Alphabet 的成長型投資公司。當我問她哪支籃球隊最像 CapitalG 時,她列出了 WNBA 的金州女武神隊 (Golden State Valkyries)。 「每個人都有不同的技能組合,而且每個人都願意放下一切來幫助彼此獲勝,」Chase 說。「每晚贏得比賽的人都不同。我認為這與 CapitalG 建立其文化的方式非常一致。」 據本刊獨家獲悉,這是自該公司 2013 年成立以來,首次同時晉升兩位普通合夥人:Chase 和 Alex Nichols。Chase 於 2020 年加入 CapitalG,當時她特別帶著關於人工智慧 (AI) 的投資論題,她已投資了 Abridge、Baseten、Canva、LangChain、Physical Intelligence 和 Rippling。 與此同時,Nichols 於 2018 年以助理身分加入 CapitalG,並在兩年前才晉升為合夥人。他先前曾與管理合夥人 Laela Sturdy 合作,參與公司對 Duolingo 和 Whatnot 的投資,並最近主導了 CapitalG 對 Zach Dell 的能源新創公司 BasePower 的投資。在當前人們對資料中心及其能源需求日益擔憂的時刻,Nichols 對於 AI 將如何影響能源有著出人意料的看法——他認為電池和太陽能技術正以類似摩爾定律的速度變得越來越便宜、越來越好。隨著時間推移,這兩條成本曲線實際上應該會推動能源價格下降。 「我其實對未來的能源價格非常樂觀,」他說。「你看看能源消耗與 GDP 的歷史關係。便宜的能源意味著更多的生產、更多的收入,也意味著更高的生活水平。」 在創投領域競爭可能比以往任何時候都更加激烈的時刻——當然也有一些單打獨鬥的普通合夥人 (solo GPs) 嶄露頭角——有一種論點認為,在一個 AI 化的世界中,各學科之間的界線變得模糊,創投必然是一項團隊運動。 自 2023 年起擔任 CapitalG 管理合夥人(同時也曾是她大學籃球隊隊長)的 Sturdy 和 Chase,顯然都從她們在球場上的時光中汲取了一些經驗。Chase 認為創投整體正變得更加注重團隊合作:「從歷史上看,過去常常是『你成了普通合夥人,出去贏得你的交易吧。』對我而言,這從來都不是在創投領域取得成功的正確方式。」 Sturdy 補充道,在籃球中,就像在創投中一樣,「我們必須時不時看看記分板,並且在你被擊垮時必須重新站起來……當然,團結合作總比單打獨鬥要好。」 Term Sheet 播客…本週,我與 執行長 Calvin Butler 進行了對話!隨著耗費資源的資料中心持續在全國各地湧現,許多人質疑國家的公用事業網路是否能跟上 AI 日益增長的需求。Butler 表示可以。 明天見, Allie GarfinkleX: 電子郵件: 提交交易資訊至 Term Sheet 新聞通訊。 Joey Abrams 整理了今日新聞通訊的交易部分。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
