Zach Pandl, the Director of Research at Grayscale, stated that the AI crypto sector rose by 54% in September, significantly outperforming the overall crypto market, which increased by 24%. Despite this recent surge, the sector's market capitalization is still only about $15 billion, making it the smallest category among the six crypto sectors defined by Grayscale.Among the representative tokens in the sector, NEAR rose by 183% in September, Venice (VVV) increased by 70%, World (WLD) went up by 47%, and Bittensor (TAO) climbed by 37%. These projects involve agent commerce, privacy AI applications, human verification, and an open AI network encompassing reasoning, agents, data, and computation.Grayscale believes that public blockchains can provide an open infrastructure for agent payments, identity, privacy computing, and verifiable records, complementing the current AI development ecosystem that is concentrated among a few companies. The AI crypto sector may see one or more major winners in the next five years, and recent performance indicates that investors are beginning to price in the role of blockchain as infrastructure in the emerging agent economy.

Yushu Technology officially launched online and offline subscriptions on August 10, with an issue price of 150.80 yuan per share. The total market value after issuance is approximately 60.993 billion yuan, with total fundraising of nearly 6.1 billion yuan, and the issuance price-to-earnings ratio is 219.23 times, significantly higher than the industry average of 38.56 times.Meituan holds a total of 9.65% of Yushu's shares before issuance through its three subsidiaries, making it the largest external institutional shareholder; Sequoia China holds a total of 7.11%, ranking second. Based on the issue price, the two institutions will receive substantial paper returns. Sequoia first participated in the capital increase in December 2019 with 15 million yuan, at which time the post-investment valuation was only 150 million yuan.A fund under DJI planned to invest 10.1286 million yuan in 2018 for a corresponding shareholding of about 17%, and completed the business registration, but chose to withdraw its investment in 2019. If this investment had been retained until now, the corresponding market value would be approximately 3.7 billion yuan based on the issue price. DJI did not explain the reason for the withdrawal, but in 2019, the company announced an anti-corruption notice, disclosing the handling of 45 employees suspected of corruption, which led to a complete halt of the investment department's work.Among other major shareholders, Jingwei Venture Capital holds 5.45%, Shunwei Capital holds 4.42%, and CITIC Securities holds a total of 4.49%. In terms of strategic placement, DeepSeek received 933,400 shares (subscription of 141 million yuan), and Shanghai Qishan Investment, a subsidiary of Tencent, received 903,300 shares. CITIC Securities, as the sole sponsor, will receive approximately 145 million yuan in sponsorship underwriting fees and will be allocated 808,900 shares through co-investment. Yushu also reminds that the issuance price-to-earnings ratio is significantly higher than the industry average, posing a risk of stock price decline. The deadline for payment for successful applicants is August 12.

According to a post by CryptosR_Us, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that private companies are staying private for longer periods, capital demand continues to grow, and cryptocurrencies will fundamentally change the way financing works, just as they have reshaped payment methods.Brian Armstrong also mentioned that Coinbase is heavily investing in tokenization because all assets (stocks, funds, private equity) will eventually be on-chain. Coinbase currently supports over 80% of cryptocurrency ETFs, which positions it as a leader in the tokenization market. What the market should focus on is: if the financial system truly moves towards on-chain, ETH, SOL, and Base will be the biggest winners, as these networks have the necessary speed, liquidity, and developer base to host tokenized assets at scale.
