Connie Wong, a traditional finance veteran, says, "We're going beyond token inflation to generate real-world AI asset returns."
GPU- and data center-backed "AI Dollars" are now being issued, expanding to 10 countries through NVIDIA partnerships.
"Aiming for a global AI infrastructure economic layer... The era of investing in real assets instead of Nvidia stocks."

Connie Wong, a TradFi expert with experience in credit and equity research, entered the cryptocurrency market after working in investment banking and private equity. He explained that "if coal was the physical raw material of the industrial era, then the raw material of the AI era is enterprise-grade GPUs like Nvidia's H200 and B200," and founded GAIB to bridge the fundamental gap between AI and Web3.
GAIB transcends the limitations of existing DeFi (DeFi) platforms, which rely solely on token inflation, and proposes a model that generates revenue based on real AI infrastructure assets. Connie Wong noted, "While markets exist for gold and oil, there is no market for computing power, the most crucial asset driving the AI economy," emphasizing that GAIB will bridge this gap.
The subscription opens the door for investors to directly invest in AI infrastructure through "AI Dollars," digital assets backed by actual GPUs, data centers, and robotics hardware. This structure, where real profits generated from AI workloads are returned to asset holders, is likened by Connie Wong to "giving everyone access to the business of selling pickaxes while everyone else goes gold mining."
Driven by this vision, the company has built a multi-billion-dollar pipeline of computing and robotics assets across more than 10 countries, collaborating with NVIDIA Cloud Partners and leading robotics companies. More recently, the company has expanded beyond GPU tokenization into the field of "embodied AI," bringing working AI robots on-chain.
Connie Wong stated, "Our goal is to become the economic layer of the global AI infrastructure. In the future, we will be the first thing people think of when investing directly in real-world assets that power AI, not just NVIDIA stock." He also highlighted Korea as a crucial market with a deep understanding of innovation and expressed his commitment to providing transparency and tangible utility to the Korean community.
This interview is seen as an opportunity to demonstrate that GAIB is moving beyond a simple virtual asset project and is positioning itself as a core infrastructure connecting the rapidly growing AI industry and blockchain finance.
