#龙虾 New York Dispatch - On March 13 local time, the Global Energy Security and Digital Economy Leaders Summit was held in New York, attended by heads of state, government leaders, energy ministers, and senior officials from international financial institutions from multiple countries. Discussions focused on AI computing power energy consumption, cross-border energy trading costs, and global green electricity coordination.

The conference centered on the surge in global computing power electricity consumption driven by the rapid proliferation of the current AI agent OpenClaw (community known as "Lobster"). Attending parties acknowledged that OpenClaw has massive computing power consumption, with cross-border electricity and computing power settlement involving multiple links, high fees, and slow fund transfers, urgently requiring an efficient, low-cost global unified settlement system.

Regarding the "Lobster Coin" issue that has attracted significant market attention, attending representatives conducted a special discussion. The proposed solution is to use Lobster Coin as an intermediary medium for cross-border computing power and energy settlement, applicable to electricity procurement, computing power rental, green electricity trading, and cross-border energy fee clearing, reducing foreign exchange conversion costs, shortening settlement cycles, and solving payment pain points in the AI industry and global energy trade.

All attending parties reached principled consensus supporting the promotion of compliant implementation of Lobster Coin in energy and computing power scenarios. A clearing framework will be jointly established by energy enterprises and financial institutions from multiple countries, clarifying regulatory standards, anti-money laundering and compliance mechanisms, with priority application to green electricity, computing power, and AI energy consumption-related transactions, without speculative trading targeting ordinary individuals.

The organizers stated that this conference provides a new pathway for energy and finance coordination in the AI era. Subsequently, a special task force will be established to advance technical alignment, regulatory coordination, and pilot implementation, constructing a new global energy trading system that is low-cost, efficient, and safe and stable.
