Asia's GPU Squeeze Puts Decentralised Compute Tokens on the Radar HONG KONG — The shortage of high-end accelerators across the Asia-Pacific is no longer just a problem for the region's hyperscalers and frontier labs.
It is starting to shape capital flows into a small corner of the digital asset market that until recently looked like a curiosity: tokens that coordinate GPU and CPU capacity outside the walls of AWS, Alibaba Cloud and the major Japanese carriers.
