Yesterday, the data on Ethereum Spot ETF was quite interesting—there was a net outflow of nearly 80 million USD in a single day, with Grayscale being the most aggressive in withdrawing. On the surface, it seems that traditional capital is hesitant about mainstream tokens, but in reality, the money hasn't disappeared; it has just found a more imaginative destination.
The truly smart money has begun to bet on the underlying track of AI computing power. Computing power is becoming the "digital oil" of the new era, and how to financialize it and allow more people to participate in sharing the cake is the key.
The GAIB project is quite typical. While everyone is still focused on the ETF inflows and outflows, they raised over 25 million dollars in less than a year, and even more impressively—directly invested over 50 million dollars in building AI computing centers in Thailand and Singapore. They are investing real money in hardware, not just making empty promises on PPT.
Their approach is actually quite straightforward: they package physical GPU clusters into a digital asset called AID. Holding AID is equivalent to owning shares of these "AI mines," allowing you to proportionately share in the cash flow profits. Currently, the annualized return is about 16%, which is not the kind of empty digital game found in DeFi; behind it is real income from computing power leasing—AI companies need to rent GPUs to train models, and the rental fees are the source of profits.
The market is diversifying. On one side is the stock game of traditional digital assets, and on the other side are the incremental opportunities of AI infrastructure. While the ETF is still fluctuating with tens of millions flowing out, some are already building the "power plants" of the next generation digital economy. The certainty in this direction may be stronger than just watching the candlestick charts.

The money has been transferred, but the trap is still the same. A 16% annualized return sounds quite appealing, but I don't know how the actual operation on the GPU cluster is going. I need to observe more before making any conclusions.

Money is indeed being transferred, but I don't know much about GAIB; I need to see if their hardware is really running. A 16% annualized return sounds good, but we need to clarify where the risks are.

Sure, finally someone is talking about the underlying logic, not just fixated on ETF data for excitement.
While those with more money than sense are still debating whether Grayscale will withdraw, the smart ones are already looking for the next incremental story.
A 16% annualized return compared to that pile of air in DeFi is indeed a different level of solidity, at least there’s real cash from GPUs running.
However, risks associated with such projects also need to be monitored; don't regret it when the hardware is idle and rental income plummets.

Wait a minute, Grayscale has a net outflow of 80 million? This number is too clean, I need to check the on-chain wallet cluster's movements... feels like there's something behind it.
Spending 50 million on hardware, I need to investigate the flow of funds, is it really just financing PPT?
16% annualized? Can we find real leasing contracts on-chain, let's hope it's not another air finance.

Ah, what does it mean that 80 million has flowed out? Grayscale is doing a Rug Pull, the money has to find a new master.
A real yield of 16%? I don't believe you, I've seen all the tricks of Decentralized Finance.

Money is indeed flowing, but where it flows to is the real story. Projects with hardware backing are the interesting ones, not just paper profits.
