AFFLUX TO HOST DEMO DAY — 《OUTLOOK OF WEB3 IN JAPAN:リソースフロー》

Cointime Official

It’s no secret that Web3 is growing faster than ever. Web3 technology is promoting the transformation of the global digital economy. As a global leader in technology and digital innovation, Japan is also actively promoting the development of Web3 technology.

During a session of the Budget Committee in the House of Representatives, the Prime Minister of Japan, Fumio Kishida, declared that Web3 presents a range of potential applications. For instance, DAOs could be established by individuals interested in tackling the same social issues, resulting in the creation of new communities. Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) may also provide creators with diversified income streams, thereby enabling them to maintain and increase the loyalty of their fans. Web3 has the potential to become a powerful tool for driving the “Cool Japan” policy and regional revitalization efforts. Mr. Kishida provided an affirmative response while actively employing terminology related to Web3.0.

It is worth noting that the “Cool Japan” policy was introduced by the Japanese government in the second decade of the 21st century as part of its international strategy centered around the cultural industry.

Today, we are pleased to launch Demo Day themed “Outlook of Web3 in Japan: リソースフロー”, a virtual event that combines hackathon, summit and demo day all into one streamlined experience, on February 28, 2023 held on the day.

    On April 24, local time, after the U.S. stock market closed on April 23, Intel officially released its Q1 fiscal year 2026 financial report and held an earnings call. The company delivered its sixth consecutive quarter of better-than-expected results, with revenue, gross margin, and earnings per share all surpassing guidance. The AI business has become the core growth engine, with a surge in demand for server CPUs and advancements in advanced processes and packaging exceeding expectations. Following this financial report, Intel's stock price surged nearly 20% in after-hours trading. During the earnings call, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger stated that despite continuous improvements in factory capacity, demand across all business segments remains higher than supply, particularly for Xeon server CPUs, which are expected to maintain strong growth momentum over the next two years. Gelsinger also noted, 'In recent years, the focus in high-performance computing has been almost entirely on graphics processors and other accelerators. In recent months, clear signs have shown that central processing units are becoming an indispensable foundation in the era of artificial intelligence.' Looking at the overall market, Gelsinger anticipates that driven by explosive growth in AI demand, the overall potential market size of the semiconductor industry is approaching $1 trillion. However, Intel's management also warned that the company still faces multiple pressures, including declining demand in the PC market, rising costs, expanding capital expenditures, and supply constraints.
