News from the crypto community portal, as reported by OneMillion_AI: the recent token consumption index has fallen nearly 20% from its May peak, while the growth gap between AI investment and sales has reached 46%. Bear-market commentators point out that, according to Allianz Research data, the degree of imbalance has surpassed the 32% seen when the telecom bubble burst in 2001. Although the average token price has crashed by 90% since 2023, total spending has still grown by nearly 1 times, meaning the index retreat is only a structural digestion following price cuts designed to stimulate consumption. The strengthening of policy and regulation has translated into hidden compliance costs for corporate users. Washington has imposed even more stringent policy review on the distribution of frontier models and cross-border access, placing a heavy policy burden on leading platforms. Subtle changes are also emerging in the hardware chip sector, with the main force in market procurement beginning to shift from training chips to inference-optimized hardware, and the winner structure is being reshuffled.

The saying "price cuts to boost consumption" is quite clever, which is to say that demand is still there, just that prices are returning to rationality; in the long run, it's healthy.

The signal of shifting from training chips to inference hardware is crucial, indicating that the industry has moved from burning money on storytelling to a stage where real profits are expected.

Compliance costs are passed on to enterprise users, making it harder for small factories to survive, and in the end, the winner takes all.

The telecom bubble of 2001 was at 32% vs. 46% now, the numbers are frightening, but the speed of AI deployment back then was not comparable.

With a 90% drop, spending can still double—this consumer resilience is stronger than expected, but once the structure is fully absorbed, will a new narrative emerge?
