USD. AI protocol growth and token valuation

Overview

USD. AI, a decentralized finance protocol financing artificial intelligence infrastructure through GPU hardware collateral, reported significant growth in September. The company’s Total Value Locked (TVL) exceeded $659 million, and it launched GLX, a GPU lending exchange intended to connect institutional capital with computing asset-based loans. Notable lending activities included a $128.9 million loan for systems in British Columbia and a $54.4 million loan for B300 GPUs for Hydra Host.

By October, the market capitalization of the protocol’s CHIP token rose from $85.2 million to approximately $135.7 million. The token, which serves as a governance and utility tool for voting on protocol upgrades and interest rates, saw daily trading volumes reach $52.7 million. CEO David Choi has proposed a ‘commit-and-compound’ model for the ecosystem, suggesting an operating company could buy and hold CHIP to increase its share.
