Abstract

头部风险投资公司青睐期权和ZK。

在Alameda、Zhusu、Hashed和DCG发起的公链战争之后,尽管市场情绪日益消极,但加密货币风险投资公司继续在不同领域积极扩张,这些钱到底流向了何处?

DeFi

TL;DR

  • 1.22年第1季度,加密货币风险投资公司投资140亿美元,相当于2021年总投资资本的50%。
  • 2.交易所主要投资于跨链项目与NFTFi
  • 3.头部风险投资公司青睐期权和ZK
  • 4.不可否认的是,交易所与头部VC都对DAO和游戏有着浓厚的兴趣

加密货币领域中的VC主要分为交易所的风险投资部门和(顶级)风险投资公司两种类型,类型不同,自然策略不同。

DeFi

我们首先来看看交易所风投部门执行的策略。

DeFi

其中 31 个 DeFi 项目中有 5 个是跨链项目(16%),16 个 NFT 项目中有 6 个是 NFT 金融化项目。(38%)
跨链
目前,关注度最多的跨链桥有:
LayerZero_Labs($STG), MultichainOrg($MULTI), SwimProtocol($SWIM), 和Routerprotocol($ROUTE), Symbiosis_fi($SIS)
其中除了$SIS,它们都从不同VC手中筹集了资金,尤其是$STG的VC投资者,多得令人眼花缭乱。
VC们不仅仅只是聪明钱,他们也是叙事的创造者。2021-2022年期间,SBF、Zhusu、Simon Seojoon Kim和BarrySilbert分别选择了$SOL、$AVAX、$LUNA、$NEAR,紧接着就是公链战争。2022年,尽管跨链桥经常被黑,但跨链仍是VC最热门的主题。

DeFi

NFT的价格发现
这应该是一个NFT金融化的主题,当我们只交易 NFT 本身时,实时价格发现是无关紧要,但是,如果 NFT 与 DeFi 结合,那就很重要了。
想象一下,一个BAYC的抵押贷款。假设BAYC的实际价格是100ETH,BAYC每小时交易一次。
如果BAYC被恶意攻击者以1ETH的价格卖出,许多BAYC持有者以自己的BAYC抵押贷款,大量的资金可能会被清算,这就是为什么价格发现很重要。
我们再来看一看顶级VC们投资的领域。

DeFi

其中,34 个 DeFi 项目中有 4 个是期权类项目 (12%) ,投资的40 个基础设施中有 8 个隐私类和扩展类项目 (20%)。
DeFi期权
为什么期权很重要?因为这是 DeFi 中的主动收益,并且与 TradFi 中的现货市场相比,衍生品市场更大。
正常的DeFi协议使用他们自己的治理代币提供收益,而代币是由协议铸造的。然而,期权协议提供的收益是由有机机制产生的,所以它的可持续性要强得多。
在股票市场,2021年的每日期权量(4.5亿美元)超过了每日现货量(4.05亿美元)。在加密货币中,币安每日衍生品交易量(560亿美元)超过了每日现货交易量(180亿美元)。链上期权市场是加密货币中服务最欠缺的市场之一。

DeFi

零知识证明(ZK)
几乎所有基础设施项目都试图让区块链变得更加私密和扩展性更强,为此,ZK 是必要的,zkEVM 解决方案即将到来,这是一种现象级的技术突破,自然获得了头部VC们的青睐。
相同点
不管是交易所的风投部门,还是顶级的风险投资公司,他们都不约而同地关注了DAO与游戏。
DAO治理工具:Nftychat(需要使用小狐狸钱包登录的Discord)+ENS=最直观的DAO治理工具。对于真正的DAO,我们需要一个Web3原生的社交平台。

DeFi

游戏:MaviaGame最受关注的游戏项目之一,它已经从Alameda、Binance Labs和Mechanism capital等地方融资了800万美元,并已成功完成了土地出售。

Luno Cuts 20% of Global Workforce as Cryptocurrency Exchange Shifts Priorities Towards Automation

Luno, a global cryptocurrency exchange owned by Digital Currency Group, is reducing its global workforce by 20% as part of a major operational restructuring driven by a downturn in retail crypto activity and increased automation. CEO James Lanigan announced the layoffs on July 28, stating it was a difficult but necessary decision to build a more sustainable structure for the long term. The company did not disclose the total number of affected employees, though South African staff are among those impacted, with formal consultations initiated there in line with local labor laws. This marks the second major round of layoffs in three and a half years, following a 35% staff reduction in January 2023. The company cites cyclical declines in retail user activity and ongoing investment in automated tools as key factors behind the restructuring, which has fundamentally changed the firm's resource needs. Concurrently, Luno is reorganizing into three unified divisions built on a single core platform: 1) a consolidated consumer and API platform serving over 16 million users in Africa and Asia-Pacific, 2) a stablecoin solutions unit focused on the zar-backed 'Zaru' stablecoin launched in February 2026, and 3) an institutional arm offering OTC services and cross-border settlement networks. This restructuring follows recent market withdrawals, with Luno discontinuing services in certain markets from September 1, 2026.

Turkey blocked 47,493 illegal betting sites amid expanded measures targeting cryptocurrency accounts

Turkey has blocked access to 47,493 illegal betting websites since January 1st as part of a nationwide crackdown on online gambling operators and their payment networks. Police and gendarmerie conducted 680 operations, detaining 5,629 suspects, with 3,231 placed in pre-trial detention and 1,515 placed under judicial supervision. Cybercrime units are conducting 24/7 monitoring of illegal betting sites, social media ads, and digital payment channels. Investigators are tracking bank accounts, e-money services, and crypto asset wallets suspected of facilitating betting operations or laundering criminal proceeds. The actions follow earlier raids in May targeting over 670 suspects, with one investigation in Adana uncovering cryptocurrency platforms used for laundering betting revenues. Authorities highlighted a specific case involving a network allegedly coordinated by a suspect with initials İ.Ö.Ö., which reportedly generated revenue from illegal betting and match-fixing. Prosecutors identified seven overseas crypto wallets that received transfers from this network, estimating total transaction volume at $4 billion. All related bank and crypto accounts were frozen. The network allegedly recruited individuals to act as "common accounts" for processing bets in exchange for a 1% commission. In separate operations, authorities blocked 4,742 bank accounts and six crypto accounts in Adana, and identified transactional activity worth approximately $104 million across 47 suspects. Assets including companies, vehicles, and properties were seized. The crackdown includes real-time disruption. During the 2022 World Cup final, prosecutors identified and ordered the freezing of 6,314 bank accounts used for illegal betting, aided by an AI analysis system called AVCI. They project illegal betting volume for the 2026 World Cup could reach $50 billion. Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç stated that 19 offshore "financial companies" managing panel systems for illegal betting sites were identified, with legal proceedings initiated against 23 suspects. He emphasized a strategic shift towards "draining the swamp" through coordinated asset seizures and digital evidence collection, rather than relying on individual prosecutions.
