api

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a communication interface between software applications that allows different systems or programs to interact and exchange data. In the field of blockchain and cryptocurrency, APIs are used to connect exchanges, wallets, blockchain nodes, and other services, providing real-time data access, trade execution, and account management functions. APIs are key tools for developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) and integrate blockchain services, facilitating interoperability and scalability within the ecosystem.

first_img Social Graph VC: Data center capital expenditure will exceed 1 trillion USD in 2026

Venture capital firm Social Graph VC recently published an article on market entry stating that data center capital expenditures will exceed $1 trillion by 2026, approximately double the spending of the four major hyperscale cloud providers in 2025. Jensen Huang expects it to reach $3 to $4 trillion annually by the end of this decade, potentially hitting $10 trillion by 2031. AI investments account for about 0.9% of global GDP, rising to approximately 1.4% by 2028.The article states that Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 each have training power consumption below 2GW, with costs around $120 billion. Each generation of models can recoup costs on their own, while laboratory losses stem from the next-generation models that are expanding training scales by 10 times. Computing cannot be procured at a single price; H100 rental rates are about $1.95/hour in the market, while hyperscale cloud rates are $8-9/hour, with hourly rates fluctuating by 137% over the year. There is a financing gap of $1.5 trillion within the approximately $3 trillion global data center expenditures expected by 2028.The article also mentions that CME plans to launch cash-settled H100 and B200 monthly lease futures on NYMEX on October 5, 2026, pending regulatory review, with settlement referencing the Silicon Data Index; ICE has also announced GPU futures based on the Ornn Index.

first_img SEC Chairman expects the Clarity Act to pass this month, stating that the United States will become the crypto capital

Paul Atkins, the chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated that he expects the highly anticipated Clarity Act to pass in the Senate this month, and he mentioned that the U.S. is likely to become the "capital of crypto." In an interview with Fox Business, Atkins confirmed that the bill will be voted on in the Senate on September 15, and he anticipates that it will pass and ultimately be sent to the president for signing.Atkins stated that regulators are pushing for relevant rules to help the crypto industry develop, saying, "We are changing past practices to update rules to adapt to the era of blockchain and crypto assets." Last week, the SEC submitted a proposal to the White House aimed at clarifying the custody framework for crypto assets for investment advisors and companies.The Clarity Act aims to establish a regulatory framework that distinguishes whether digital assets are securities, commodities, or stablecoins. The bill passed in the House last year, but has been stalled for most of this year due to disagreements between banking lobbyists and crypto companies over issues such as whether platforms like Coinbase can pay clients returns. Some lawmakers attempted to modify the language regarding ethical standards in the bill, while a new bill has been circulating since July that prohibits government officials from promoting crypto assets and profiting from them. However, some Democratic lawmakers believe the relevant provisions are still inadequate, while several pro-crypto Republican lawmakers have accused Democrats of deliberately playing politics and delaying the bill's progress.

Chairman of the Solana Foundation: Capital, assets, and ownership are entering a token super cycle

Lily Liu, the chair of the Solana Foundation, stated that funds, assets, and ownership are migrating to an all-weather internet infrastructure, forming a long-term token supercycle.Tokenization is not only about moving assets onto the chain but also about changing the assets themselves, allowing value to be issued, held, financed, and traded in a market that never closes.She believes that stablecoins have proven that funds can flow onto the chain globally, financial institutions are pushing for asset tokenization, and blockchain infrastructure is beginning to meet the demands of real economic activities for speed and cost, while AI economic agents require programmable money.With these factors converging, any value with clear ownership could be tokenized and gain broader distribution, financing, and trading channels.In the past year, the trading volume of RWA on Solana reached hundreds of billions of dollars, covering tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds, stocks, and private credit; during the same period, stablecoin transfer volume exceeded $4.7 trillion.Liu stated that tokenization can also allow more investors to break through geographic, minimum investment, and qualification restrictions, and enable the assets held to be used for collateral or to generate returns. Although the current on-chain market size is still far below that of traditional markets, the relevant infrastructure could potentially reach 5.5 billion internet users globally in the future.
