Today's dark line
Today’s stories all center on one core idea: the decentralization of global supply chains and data sovereignty is accelerating. Fujitsu developing Japan’s domestic CPU and Meta designing its own training chips represent a dismantling of hardware dependence on NVIDIA; stablecoin-based payment financing and sanctions against Iranian crypto exchanges reflect a clash between traditional financial settlement systems and on-chain alternatives; Musk’s intent to acquire “dead companies’ data” and Microsoft executives condemning AI data scraping as “labor theft” signal a shift toward clearer, priced ownership of data. The strike on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz caused daily shipping volumes to plummet from 16 to 4 vessels, violently reminding everyone that physical infrastructure risks ultimately propagate to the pricing of every layer of digital assets.
