Abstract

别以为只要有想法就可以轻松超越 OpenSea 并成为世界上最大的 NFT 市场，毕竟不是谁都可以像 Instagram 那样拥有庞大的用户基础。

不是危言耸听，Instagram 将轻松超越 OpenSea，成为全球最大的 NFT 市场。
作为马克·扎克伯格旗下的照片共享应用，Instagram 已确认计划在未来几个月内添加加密数字藏品服务。分析人士认为，此举可能会吸引数百万新晋消费者进入 NFT 领域，并为 Instagram 带来数十亿美元的收入。
下面，让我们用数据来看看为什么说 Instagram 能“秒杀” OpenSea——根据德意志银行最新发布的分析报告显示，Instagram到 2023 年将拥有 22 亿月活跃用户量，其中 2% 将会拥有自己的数字资产，而这些人将在 Instagram上形成一个 4400 万的 NFT 用户群。相比之下，OpenSea 上大约“只有” 140 万用户，也就是说，Instagram 的 NFT 用户规模保守估计会是 OpenSea 的 30 倍以上，因此对于OpenSea平台即将失去大部分市场份额的担忧也就不足为奇了。
然后，让我们再来做个“合理假设”——如果每个 Instagram 用户每年只进行三笔 NFT 交易，每笔平均售价暂且保守估计为 250 美元，那么结果会是什么呢？答案就是——Instagram 上的 NFT交易量将会达到 330 亿美元！远超过了 OpenSea 的 230 亿美元。再假设 Instagram 的交易费用为 2.5%，那么这将给平台带来 17 亿美元的年收入，乐观点的话，甚至可能会增至 80 亿美元。
当然，拥有 Facebook 和 Instagram 两个子品牌的 Meta 公司推出新产品的成绩并不总是那么好，但通常而言，他们在推出软件产品时的表现总好于硬件产品。比如在过往的案例中，Marketplace 和 Facebook Groups很明显取得了较大成功，而用户对于 Facebook 约会产品以及智能手表 Meta Watch 的接受度则没有那么高。从这个角度来看，Instagram 整合 NFT 服务“获胜”的可能性并不低。
NFT 市场处于“高速增长模式”
除了自身优势之外，NFT 市场的发展现状同样会给 Instagram 注入“强心剂”。实际上，目前 NFT 市场正处于高速增长模式，数据不会说谎，2021 年全球 NFT 交易量是 2020 年的 250 倍，而且新加入者将会拥有“非常大:的市场机会。
德意志银行分析称：“将 NFT 引入给 Instagram 的广大用户将会推动整个平台走向主流化。我们认为 Instagram 将会简化NFT 交易的过程，并且降低准入门槛。此外，我们认为 Instagram 强大的全球品牌认知度将有助于 NFT 的合法化，而这将会打消广大用户在交易NFT时的顾虑。”
随着Instagram 推出NFT服务，未来很可能会吸引越来越多的新兴艺术家加入到创建 NFT 的行列——在增加可用数字资产供应的同时，还会随着市场发展变得更加健康并产生“飞轮效应”。
如果把眼光放长远一些，未来 NFT 很可能会成为虚拟世界的基础。换而言之，马克·扎克伯格推出的这个新市场将会填补他在NFT领域的空白并以此满足他的雄心壮志，即：推动 Meta公司成为虚拟世界的市场领导者。
值得一提的是，Twitter 也通过订阅服务推出了 NFT，用户可以通过该服务将自己的头像NFT添加为他们的个人资料图片。与此同时，预计 Snap 将很快跟随 Twitter 的脚步，以另一种形式在在自己的平台上推出 NFT。
尽管到目前为止，人们对于 Instagram 进军 NFT 市场的具体计划知之甚少，但不可否认的是，如今 NFT已经引发了全世界的疯狂，各大公司仿佛都在跃跃欲试。据悉，一些主流平台如eBay等也正在计划推出 NFT 功能，此外一些体育品牌和好莱坞顶级制片厂也不甘落后，争相推出自己的NFT市场，希望能在这个新兴市场分得一杯羹。
但需要注意的是，别以为只要有想法就可以轻松超越 OpenSea 并成为世界上最大的 NFT 市场，毕竟——不是谁都可以像 Instagram 那样拥有庞大的用户基础。

Miners Advised Not to Buy GPUs for AI and to Focus on Infrastructure

A founder at an energy investment forum advises bitcoin miners not to purchase GPUs for AI themselves, but to instead focus on infrastructure like power and data center space. Mike Alfred of Alpine Fox stated that while AI infrastructure demand is a long-term, 20-30 year trend, it presents a key choice for miners. The first, riskier model involves owning and operating GPUs, which requires financing expensive hardware that quickly becomes obsolete. The second, more conservative model is akin to real estate: providing colocation services where clients bring their own servers, and the miner sells space, power, cooling, and water. Alfred noted this model is easier to finance. Most existing bitcoin mining sites are difficult and expensive to convert for AI, as AI data centers require far higher construction costs, redundant fiber connections, backup power, complex cooling, and near 100% uptime. A hybrid model, where mining acts as a flexible load to use excess power during AI data center construction or from generation facilities, was discussed. However, participants concluded this is only viable with very cheap power; otherwise, developers are better off focusing solely on AI. Miners are increasingly being evaluated for their available power capacity and project portfolios rather than just bitcoin output. Panelists also warned of risks in the AI sector, predicting at least one major default or contract breach among AI tenants, lenders, or landlords before bitcoin's next halving in 2028.

Millisecond 'Pay-to-Cut': How Did Hyperliquid's Priority Fee Turn into a Multi-Million Dollar Business?

"Millisecond 'Paid Queue-Jumping': How Hyperliquid's Priority Fee Became a Multi-Million Dollar Annual Business" In traditional finance, high-frequency trading firms spend millions on infrastructure for millisecond advantages. Hyperliquid has translated this race onto the blockchain with its "Priority Fee" system, creating an open economic game for speed. This system auctions two types of priority: **Gossip Priority** for faster data feeds (via a Dutch auction every 3 minutes), and **Order Priority** for front-of-queue trade execution (users bid a fee for lower latency). This converts a hardware race into a transparent, market-priced mechanism. Since launch, this feature has generated over $5M in protocol revenue. Projected annualized buybacks from this income exceed $30M, accounting for ~7% of total protocol revenue. The demand stems from large traders and market makers on Hyperliquid, for whom milliseconds can mean the difference between profit/loss or avoiding liquidation. Market makers pay these fees as "protection" to ensure their orders execute first, which in turn improves liquidity for all users. Crucially, Hyperliquid internalizes Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) that typically leaks to external validators or searchers, creating a new revenue stream beyond trading fees. The mechanism also strengthens HYPE's tokenomics. While 97% of trading fees fund secondary market buybacks (via the Assistance Fund), Priority Fees are **directly burned**, adding a second deflationary engine. Furthermore, fees for order priority are deducted from users' undelegated HYPE balances, encouraging large traders to hold and lock up tokens, reducing circulating supply. However, a key challenge remains: balancing the speed needs of institutional players with fair market access for retail users, as those who cannot pay high fees may suffer worse slippage during volatility. In summary, Hyperliquid's Priority Fee is a novel model that monetizes latency, captures MEV for the protocol, and enhances its native token's value through burning and lock-ups.

Jito Seizes User Traffic with JTX, Why Is It Still Undervalued by the Market?

Jito, a Solana infrastructure provider, has launched a new product called JTX, which is shifting its business model from being a price-taker on Solana block space to becoming a price-setter for user transaction flow. Despite this strategic shift aimed at capturing and monetizing user traffic, the market continues to undervalue its native token, JTO. Analysts present a valuation case for JTO, arguing the market still prices it as backend infrastructure. Their base case scenario assumes JTX captures 15% of Solana DEX volume by Q2 2027, generating significant annualized revenue. Applying a conservative 30x P/S multiple to this revenue implies a JTO price of $1.18, representing ~57% upside from current levels (~$0.75). A probability-weighted target, including bullish (40% probability, 25% market share) and bearish (10% probability, 5% share) scenarios, points to a target of $2.75, suggesting ~267% potential upside. The thesis hinges on JTX's early positive performance data and its potential to benefit from the expected growth of on-chain trading, particularly from tokenized stocks and real-world assets. Furthermore, an estimated 80% of JTX's net revenue is slated for JTO buybacks, creating a potential value-accrual flywheel. The report concludes that Jito's transformation via JTX is not yet reflected in its valuation.

The Truth Behind Digital Banking: The Fragile Ecosystem Supporting 1.46 Billion Users

The article "The Truth About Digital Banks: The Fragile Ecosystem Behind 1.46 Billion Users" provides a data-driven analysis of the digital banking sector based on a verified list of 368 active neobanks as of July 2026. While these platforms collectively serve 1.46 billion users, with Asia (817 million users) and institutions like WeBank and Nubank dominating the landscape, the sector faces significant structural vulnerabilities. A key finding is that only 127 of the 368 neobanks hold full banking licenses. The majority operate atop third-party infrastructure providers like Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) platforms, creating systemic risk where the failure of a single provider, as seen in past cases like Wirecard and Synapse, can jeopardize multiple consumer brands. Furthermore, the industry experiences a steady, quiet stream of failures, mergers, and shutdowns that often go unreported. The analysis also examines the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), finding only 67 platforms (18%) have deployed AI at scale, with many innovators based in emerging markets like Nigeria and the Philippines. The infrastructure layer is highly concentrated, with 106 providers supporting the entire ecosystem of 368 consumer-facing brands. The article concludes with three predictions: the unlicensed gap will close through acquisitions or exits; an AI credit model is likely to fail in the next economic downturn; and a nascent but significant trend is the emergence of financial services designed for AI agents rather than humans.

Digital Asset Trading Platform Uphold Cuts 17% of Global Workforce Amid 'Crypto Winter'

Cryptocurrency trading platform Uphold has laid off approximately 17% of its global workforce, affecting 85 full-time employees and contractors. The cuts are part of a strategic shift to reallocate resources towards its rapidly growing corporate services business, as retail cryptocurrency trading activity has declined amid the ongoing market downturn. CEO Simon McLaughlin stated the company is restructuring after years of significant growth and remains confident in the long-term prospects of digital assets and blockchain technology. Founded in 2015, Uphold offers trading and custody services for cryptocurrencies, fiat, stocks, and precious metals. It has recently expanded to provide infrastructure for banks, fintech firms, and broker-dealers to integrate crypto services. The layoffs occur against a backdrop of a prolonged crypto market slump, with total market capitalization falling to around $2.1 trillion by Q2 2024. Factors include weakened trading volumes, reduced retail participation, interest rate hikes, geopolitical uncertainty, and net outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. Uphold clarified it is not shutting down its UK operations or any international offices. The company highlighted strong growth in its corporate platform and announced plans to evolve its consumer app into a broader blockchain-based financial assistant by 2026, offering U.S. stocks, tokenized securities, lending, credit cards, and DeFi yield opportunities.
