Derek Chiang, founder of ZeroDev and a former Offchain Labs team member, has announced he is joining Ethlabs, stating he will focus on advancing Ethereum technologies including real-time proofs, light clients, and fast finality into real-world products and commercial scenarios. Chiang noted that adoption of many Ethereum core technologies lags significantly behind their potential, citing that some cross-chain bridges still rely on multi-signature verification for Layer 1 deposits. He hopes Ethlabs will act as a "GTM (Go-To-Market) force" for Ethereum technologies, convincing developers to adopt them through technical and product strengths rather than just concepts.

GF Securities' overseas investment research arm has released a review of CoreWeave's Q2 2026 financial report, retaining a Buy rating and a $172 price target. Analysts are bullish on CoreWeave due to factors including strong demand for AI infrastructure, a 25% across-the-board price hike, a massive $129 billion order backlog providing high revenue visibility, a new financing structure supporting shorter contracts, and operating costs that are 47% lower than traditional cloud giants. The firm projects CoreWeave's 2026-2028 revenues to reach $12.7 billion, $27.3 billion, and $41.8 billion respectively, with EBITDA of $7.5 billion, $15.6 billion, and $21.2 billion over the same period.

Fu Peng, chief economist of New Fire Group, noted that Tencent’s latest free cash flow has turned negative, a trend similar to major tech firms including Alibaba, Silicon Valley’s Meta, and Google. Large-scale AI capital expenditure has disrupted the previous model of robust free cash flow paired with stable share buybacks and dividend payouts. Fu Peng added that the market’s tolerance for AI’s “investment-return mismatch” has dropped significantly since Q2 this year. Application-side revenue remains in the validation phase relative to cumulative investments of hundreds of billions of yuan, and investors need to see quantifiable long-term returns. Current investor sentiment has shifted from earlier hype to caution; the next several quarters will be a critical window. This shift means investors must see truly optimistic, quantifiable, and certain revenue growth to resolve their doubts. Thus, during this “ROI proof or disproof” waiting period, barring major external systemic shocks, the market will remain stuck in a dilemma: “can’t not invest, but also can’t invest freely”. The market will show support from fundamentals (preventing aggressive bearish bets) and scrutiny on ROI (discouraging blind bullish positions). Capital markets are waiting for a “Killer App”, while the industry is actually waiting for “breakthroughs in unit computing power costs” and “inflection points in workflow restructuring”.
