编者按:加密VCElectric Capital分析师 Mitchell Hammer 在推特上分享了非美国加密市场的现况,并对其未来表示乐观,以及表达了对美国本土加密政策在执行以及立法上的不满,Odaily星球日报将其中精华编译如下。
美国对加密货币仍持观望态度。但世界其他地区不再袖手旁观。非美国政策制定者正在拥抱加密货币,非美国消费者正在使用加密货币,让我们深入研究一下:

数据解读美国之外的加密市场现状


在过去六个月中,全球的政策制定者已经接受了加密货币的存在:

  • 欧盟批准了MiCA
  • 英国通过了新的加密法
  • 香港正在批准加密货币交易所牌照
  • 迪拜创建了加密货币监管机构
  • 巴西创建了虚拟服务提供商许可证
  • 日本希望成为加密货币中心

加起来,仅这六个司法管辖区就拥有超过 8.5 亿消费者。它们的 GDP 合计超过 23 万亿美元,而这些国家将加密货币视为主要的潜在经济驱动力,他们希望分享加密货币创造的数百万个就业机会和数万亿美元的价值。

而美国以外的加密货币友好政策已经发挥作用,非美国地区正抢占美国的加密开发市场份额。过去 5 年,美国的开发市场份额已流失到亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲约 30% 。

我不禁好奇,如果没有美国市场,加密产业真的能发展得这么大吗?然而事实是,美国已经只占加密货币用户群的一小部分

  • 90% 的加密货币 4.2 亿用户居住在美国境外
  • 80% 的加密货币量来自美国境外
  • Binance是全球最大的 CEX,几乎就没美国客户

Crypto 已经拥有适合非美国消费者的产品市场。他们中的许多人无法获得稳定的法定货币,他们无法获得基本且负担得起的金融服务,他们使用稳定币来获取美元,并使用 DeFi 进行交易、借贷并赚取收益。

加密货币不会是全球市场在采用方面超越美国的第一项技术,移动支付和二维码在没有美国消费者的情况下都覆盖了数十亿用户和数万亿交易价值。即使在今天,美国的采用仍然滞后。

尽管美国消费者几乎为零......但腾讯依然将微信支付打造为收入250亿美元的业务,而支付宝的母公司蚂蚁集团估值为800亿美元
现有的基础设施让美国消费者很难看到新支付系统的实用性。大多数美国人都有信用卡。现有的支付系统已经足够好了,但最终,美国采用了移动支付这项新技术。过去 6 年内,美国的移动支付量增长高于 500%。
与移动支付和二维码一样,加密货币可以覆盖数十亿用户,并在没有美国消费者的情况下创造数万亿价值,一旦发生这种情况,美国将再次投降,而本土参与者需要适应使用廉价、更高效的加密货币轨道来跟上全球竞争对手的步伐。
归根结底,加密货币政治战争伤害了美国消费者和企业。目前,美国消费者无法使用世界其他地区可以使用的产品。企业无法使用加密货币来保持全球竞争力。
幸运的是,最近的司法和国会行动似乎表明美国正在慢慢朝着正确的方向前进。这无疑是一个好消息,但无论美国近期发生什么,加密货币都是全球性的……一直如此,并将继续如此。

Single-Day Plunge of 30%, Arthur Hayes Suddenly Liquidates: Why Did ZEC Get Exploded by Security Issues?

On June 5th, Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox disclosed a critical soundness vulnerability in the project's latest Orchard privacy pool. This flaw, found in the elliptic curve multiplication constraints, could allow an attacker to create unlimited counterfeit ZEC within the shielded pool, with transactions appearing valid. The vulnerability was discovered in late May by security researcher Taylor Hornby, who utilized Anthropic's new Opus 4.8 AI model for a targeted audit. The Zcash ecosystem had already performed an emergency network upgrade to patch the issue. However, the detailed disclosure triggered severe market panic, causing ZEC's price to plummet over 30% in a single day. Notably, prominent investor Arthur Hayes announced he had sold his entire ZEC position following the news. The incident starkly challenges the "technological trust" narrative central to privacy coins. Despite years of top-tier cryptographic audits, the bug persisted until uncovered with advanced AI-assisted research. This highlights the growing gap between theoretical perfection and practical implementation in privacy technology. The event serves as a industry-wide warning: in an AI-driven security landscape, the assumption that "undiscovered equals safe" is obsolete. It underscores the urgent need for continuous, proactive security practices combining AI audits, formal verification, and rapid response mechanisms.

Breaking the Curse of DeFi Cascading Liquidations, Vitalik Proposes a New Solution

**Vitalik Buterin Proposes New DeFi Design to Eliminate Forced Liquidations** Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has published a proposal for a new decentralized finance (DeFi) architecture aimed at removing the automatic liquidation mechanisms prevalent in current lending protocols. The core idea involves creating synthetic assets using options as building blocks, fundamentally avoiding the抵押借贷结构 that triggers forced sell-offs. The proposal responds to a recurring flaw in DeFi: during sharp market downturns, mass自动清算 of under-collateralized positions can exacerbate price declines, creating systemic selling pressure and market instability, as evidenced by recent crypto market volatility. Buterin's model would split an asset like 1 ETH into two option-like derivatives, P and N, pegged to a price index with a set strike price and expiration. At expiry, an oracle determines the settlement price to allocate the underlying ETH between P and N holders. This design eliminates the "cliff" of instant liquidation. Instead, a position's value would gradually drift from its target peg if not actively rebalanced by the user, transferring the rebalancing decision from the protocol to the user or automated tools. A key advantage is the reduced reliance on high-frequency, real-time oracle price feeds, which are vulnerable to manipulation and errors in current systems. The delayed settlement in the options model allows for more robust, fault-tolerant oracle designs. However, significant challenges remain for practical adoption. High transaction costs (slippage) from frequent rebalancing on automated market makers (AMMs) could erode user funds. The model may not be suitable for stablecoins requiring a strict 1:1 dollar peg, as it inherently allows for value drift. Success would depend on developing new liquidity provisioning models and deep markets for these synthetic assets. The proposal represents a fundamental rethinking of DeFi risk management, challenging the industry to explore alternatives to被动集中平仓 rather than merely optimizing existing liquidation processes. It remains a theoretical framework awaiting implementation and testing by development teams.

Bitcoin's Decline Marks the Transformation of Crypto

Title: The Decline of Bitcoin Marks the Transformation of Crypto While Bitcoin's price recently fell below $70,000, down approximately 45% from its peak, the broader crypto industry is not following it into decline. Instead, crypto is maturing and evolving beyond its dependence on Bitcoin's price movements. Two of Bitcoin's core functions are being usurped. First, AI has captured its role as the primary speculative asset. AI, with its tangible revenue, explosive demand, and massive capital inflows ($700-830 billion in 2024), is siphoning off the speculative "hot money" that once drove Bitcoin. It also contributes to a sustained high-interest-rate environment, further tightening liquidity for assets like Bitcoin. Second, dollar-pegged stablecoins like USDC and USDT have replaced Bitcoin as the crypto market's foundational currency and primary on/off-ramp. Most trading pairs and on-chain transactions are now settled in stablecoins, severing the historical link where all capital inflows had to pass through Bitcoin first. This decoupling allows projects to thrive based on their own fundamentals rather than Bitcoin's price. Examples include Hyperliquid, an on-chain derivatives exchange with annual revenues of $8-13 billion, and prediction market platform Polymarket, valued at $200 billion with $3.65 billion in annual fees. These projects are evaluated on traditional metrics like revenue and user growth. New opportunities are emerging, particularly around privacy. Privacy coins like Zcash (ZEC) are seeing surging demand, while infrastructure like NEAR enables private, cross-chain asset transfers without requiring users to hold a specific token—privacy becomes a universal service layer. In this new paradigm, stablecoins are the universal cash, various project tokens represent equity, and privacy-enabled cross-chain coordination layers (like NEAR) act as the critical infrastructure connecting a fragmented, multi-chain ecosystem. Bitcoin is now just one asset among many. The era where the entire crypto market moved in lockstep with Bitcoin is over. The industry's health should now be judged by project fundamentals—real revenue, active users, and tokenomics that capture value—and the development of the underlying infrastructure enabling a mature, dollar-denominated crypto economy.

Lightspark CEO: In Ten Years, Bitcoin Will Be as Invisible as TCP/IP, Yet Power Trillions in Daily Transactions

A decade from now, Bitcoin will function like TCP/IP — invisible yet foundational, supporting trillions in daily transactions globally, according to Lightspark CEO David Marcus. In this future, a coffee shop in Lagos receives instant payment, a manufacturer in São Paulo settles an invoice with a supplier in Ho Chi Minh City, and a freelancer in Bangalore gets paid weekly from an Austin startup — all via Bitcoin's settlement layer, with none of the parties consciously interacting with it. This vision parallels the adoption of open protocols: first driven by necessity where existing systems fail, then scaling rapidly as tools mature and economic benefits become clear. The structural shift begins with wallets. Modern non-custodial wallets, like Spark, allow users to hold dollars, local currency, and Bitcoin in a single address, seamlessly switching between them. This eliminates friction and revolutionizes global custody, moving significant deposits to user-controlled keys not by ideology, but by superior utility. As a result, Bitcoin becomes the default savings layer for billions, as its fixed supply and appreciating value make it a rational choice for savers holding it alongside stablecoins in their everyday wallets. Businesses follow a similar path, from small companies in emerging markets to multinational corporations, holding Bitcoin alongside operational stablecoins. The latest trend is direct Bitcoin transactions for commerce. When both parties hold Bitcoin, transacting in it becomes the simplest option — no conversions, no intermediary currency. This starts in niche areas like high-value B2B settlements but grows as infrastructure makes sending Bitcoin as easy as stablecoins. An accelerating force is AI agents. By 2036, AI agents conducting commerce on behalf of individuals and firms will increasingly choose Bitcoin for settlement. Optimizing for speed, finality, and minimal counterparty risk across jurisdictions, they find Bitcoin's global, neutral, and programmable network ideal for netting and settling obligations. Thus, Bitcoin is becoming the native currency for machine commerce, just as it has become a native savings asset for humans. The global monetary system is being rebuilt from the protocol layer: open infrastructure, default self-custody, Bitcoin settling everything underneath, with stablecoins as the interface. Most users won't think about Bitcoin when they transact — and they won't need to.
