BEIJING, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Professor WANG Neng, Dean's Distinguished Chair Professor of Finance and Senior Associate Dean at Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB), has been awarded the prestigious 2024 CBER-Circle Insight Award, an award jointly founded by the Crypto and Blockchain Economic Research (CBER) Forum and Circle, a prominent U.S. fintech company, which recognizes one groundbreaking academic study each year for its global impact. This honor highlights the world-class research expertise and significant global impact of CKGSB's faculty.
Blockchain economics has become a pivotal area of exploration within economic research. The award-winning study, "Tokenomics: Dynamic Adoption and Valuation", co-authored with Professor William Lin CONG from Cornell University's SC Johnson College of Business and Professor Ye LI from the University of Washington, is one of the earliest theoretical frameworks in token pricing and a foundational study in the field. It has laid the groundwork for a wide range of theoretical and empirical studies, many of which have been featured in top-tier academic journals and presented at prominent conferences worldwide.
The study introduces a dynamic asset pricing model for blockchain platform tokens, illustrating how tokens drive user adoption and foster ecosystem growth. It also analyzes the nonlinear relationships between token prices and factors such as platform productivity, user heterogeneity, and network size. This research holds profound implications for understanding competition among blockchain platforms and the pricing of related assets.
As of January 2025, "Tokenomics: Dynamic Adoption and Valuation" had garnered over 730 citations on Google Scholar, ranking among the most-cited papers published in recent years by the Review of Financial Studies, one of the leading finance journals. Recognized as a top 1% highly cited paper in the Scopus database, the research has also informed policy decisions by major organizations, including the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Government of Canada.

CKGSB Professor Wang Neng Receives 2024 CBER-Circle Insight Award for Groundbreaking Research in Blockchain Economics
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Guide Sensmart (Booth 21740, Central Hall), a global leader in thermal imaging technology, officially launched its next-generation thermal imaging innovation – ApexVision – alongside a series of new products empowered by the technology. This launch represents a systemic leap for the industry from merely "seeing heat" to "seeing with clarity, precision, and intelligence," marking the dawn of a new era defined by Ultra-Clarity.
CES Show Floor Reaction: "Ultra-Clarity" Draws Deep Engagement
At the Guide Sensmart booth, live product demonstrations powered by ApexVision attracted strong attention from industry analysts to global media. Hands-on comparisons—such as maintaining clear imaging details of distant targets and delivering crisp, smear-free imaging of fast-moving objects—earned consistent praise. Many professional visitors noted that this reliable "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" clarity would directly enhance operational efficiency and decision-making confidence.
ApexVision integrating both hardware and software: It combines the high-sensitivity ApexCore S1 detector, the Nexus 1.0 processing platform, and scenario-optimized algorithms. Together, ApexVision successfully overcomes persistent challenges such as low contrast in complex environments, detail loss at long range or high magnification, motion blur on fast-moving objects, and inaccurate detection of minute temperature differences.
From Architecture to Application: A Full Portfolio Empowered
On the CES show floor, Guide Sensmart demonstrated how ApexVision delivers tangible improvements across thermal devices. Thermography tools (e.g. E3S, H6S thermal cameras) leverage the SharpIR 2.0 algorithm to provide stable, accurate temperature measurement in demanding environments, enabling inspectors to pinpoint hidden faults with greater confidence. Outdoor hunting optics (e.g. TD650LS monocular and TN650MS binocular), benefit from Hyper-Light 2.0, allowing users to identify nocturnal wildlife in complete darkness and track fast-moving targets while maintaining clean, sharp images even at 10× zoom.
"The launch of ApexVision marks a milestone where our vertically integrated technology development translates into real value for users," said a Guide Sensmart spokesperson. "It is more than a set of specifications—it delivers the certainty of Ultra-Clarity to every professional user."
The debut of ApexVision at CES 2026 signifies more than a routine product update. By resolving long-standing trade-offs between sensitivity, stability, and environmental robustness, Guide Sensmart is advancing thermal imaging into the Ultra-Clarity Era, building a clearer, safer, and more efficient future.
We are keen to explore partnership of collaboration with you. Know more about Guide Sensmart at https://www.guideir.com.
