AI infrastructure is projecting trillions of dollars in CapEx spend. But traditional finance can't keep up.
A $50 billion AI data center can finance the $15 billion in land and power instantly. But the $35 billion in GPUs? Banks move too slow. Private credit funds can't scale fast enough. The most important commodity in the world has no liquid debt market.
USDai is filling this gap by financing AI infrastructure with GPU-backed loans, offering depositors 10-15% APR backed by real assets. David Choi and Conor Moore, CoFounders of Permian Labs, break down how they're using DeFi rails and tokenization to create liquid debt markets for GPUs, enabling the biggest AI data centers to access capital and retail users to earn yield on productive infrastructure.
In a new episode of The Edge Podcast, we cover how this DeFi picks and shovels play works for the AI gold rush. And why it's one of the most interesting yield opportunities we've seen in a while!
