Pantera Capital 最近发布了一份长篇文章,深入且细致的讲述了它们对2024加密市场的走势、投资策略、关注领域和趋势预测。

由于文章较长,我们按照内容主题将其分为了不同的部分进行编译。

本文是全文内容的第一篇,由其投资组合经理 Cosmo 和内容主管 Erik 撰写,深入分析了数字货币市场的牛市阶段,特别是比特币和其他代币(山寨币)之间的关联性。

作者指出,牛市通常包含两个阶段:第一阶段比特币表现优于其他市场;第二阶段山寨币表现超越比特币。文章还探讨了这种现象背后的原因,例如比特币的流动性和知名度,以及投资者对新兴代币的探索。

经常有投资者问我们,“各种代币在牛市周期中的相关性如何?”

为了对此提供一些视角,我们将分析最近的两个周期,在这两个周期中,比特币以外的可投资代币领域占据了重要的市场份额。

我们观察到,牛市周期有两个明显的阶段。第一阶段是牛市的早期阶段,当时比特币往往表现优于市场的其他部分。第二阶段是后期阶段,那时山寨币往往表现更好。

我们认为,比特币在第一阶段的表现可能是由几个原因造成的。首先,它是市场上发行量最大、流动性最强的数字资产。 在2023年,比特币的日均交易量为180亿美元,以太坊则为80亿美元。其次,首次投资者通常会先购买比特币,然后再寻求其他代币的投资。比特币有15年的历史,并且许多人认为比特币是行业的代名词。

虽然一些投资者的旅程仅仅限于投资比特币,但也有许多人会深入了解加密货币的领域。除比特币之外的可投资代币数量庞大,牛市似乎加速了这一领域的扩张,因为更多的创业者和开发者进入这个空间。第二阶段是投资者开始寻找支持不同用例的更高增长代币,通常由新创新推动,即 2017-18 年的 ICO、2020-21 年的 DeFi 和 NFT。

下面是两个阶段的图表,用金色阴影突出显示。你会注意到,在周期的第一阶段,山寨币的市场份额下降,而总市值逐渐上升,这表明比特币的表现超过了市场。在牛市周期的60%-70%时期,山寨币的市场份额急剧上升。

以下是比特币和山寨币在市值增长方面的实际回报,以及每种货币对加密货币市场整体增长的贡献程度。

在这些周期中,比特币在上升周期的第一阶段始终表现优于山寨币。在第二阶段,山寨币大幅超过比特币。有趣的是,山寨币在整个周期中的表现非常出色,以至于它们在两个完整周期中都超过了比特币。

虽然从历史上看,投资收益的最高来源之一来自于第二阶段开始时从投资比特币转向山寨币的完美时机,但这种关系并不一定总能成立,对任何交易者来说,完美的时机选择并不现实。

在该领域产生alpha效应的最可行方法或许是保持持续的投资,投资那些有基本理由比比特币升值数倍的山寨币。

我们的论点是,那些基于协议的山寨币,它们拥有产品市场契合度,并且正在产生真实收入,将在下一个周期中表现最好,就像人们在其他资产类别(如股票)中所期望的一样。就像不是所有股票都是平等创造的,不是所有代币都是平等创造的。从长远来看,代币的选择至关重要,因为表现优异的代币将视具体情况而定,而不一定是某个领域的代币,也不一定是基于浮躁、短暂的投机性言论。

到目前为止,在这个周期中,比特币上涨了 2.8 倍,山寨币上涨了 1.7 倍。

那么,在加密市场的周期中,VC投资的情况如何?

自2022年第一季度以来,区块链的私募融资一直在放缓。根据The Block的数据,季度融资和交易数量都有所下降。

2022年初达到峰值后,平均交易规模显著下降。

需要指出的是,这些数据基于新闻发布的融资轮公告,在我看来,这往往比实际情况滞后了一到两个季度。

根据我们在Pantera的观察,我们认为融资和交易活动的低谷可能是去年夏天。最近,我们看到由上一次牛市期间进入的企业家推动的交易活动大幅回升,这些企业家的业务已经成熟,有可能找到适合市场的产品,或者一直在执行正确的战略,并且现在回来并以合理的估值筹集资金。

可能比大多数人预期的要久一些,因为在牛市期间,许多像我们这样的风投公司建议公司多筹集一年的运营资金。因此,他们没有筹集两年的资金,而是筹集了三年的资金,现在我们开始看到它们重返市场。

我们认为,这是一个投资的大好时机,因为交易活动已经增加,如果公开市场继续反弹,我预计今年将持续这种趋势。

Behind the AI Scorecards Lies a Chinese 'Question Setter'

Behind the AI scorecards that dominate industry discussions—benchmarks like MMLU-Pro, MMMU, and MMMU-Pro—stands a Chinese-Canadian researcher: Wenhu Chen. As an assistant professor at the University of Waterloo and founder of the TIGER Lab, Chen has become a key "exam-setter" for evaluating large language and multimodal models. Chen first gained broader recognition with MMLU-Pro, a more challenging and stable update to the popular MMLU benchmark. As top models like OpenAI’s o3 began achieving near-perfect scores on the original MMLU, it became difficult to distinguish their true capabilities. MMLU-Pro introduced more complex reasoning questions, expanded answer choices, and filtered out ambiguous or simple items, effectively reintroducing differentiation among state-of-the-art models. His work on MMMU addressed the evaluation of multimodal models, requiring them to integrate visual information (like charts, diagrams, or tables) with textual knowledge across diverse academic subjects. Even the strongest models initially scored only around 56-59%, highlighting significant room for improvement in genuine multimodal reasoning. MMMU-Pro further refined this by preventing models from bypassing visual cues. Chen’s research focus has long been on complex information understanding and reasoning. His background—including a PhD at UC Santa Barbara, research at Google/DeepMind on Gemini, and now a role in Meta’s superintelligence lab—provides deep insight into model development and their potential weaknesses. His TIGER Lab also builds models (e.g., for video understanding and generation), ensuring his evaluation benchmarks are grounded in practical challenges. While AI headlines often spotlight company leaders and product launches, Chen’s work exemplifies the critical, behind-the-scenes contributions of researchers crafting the rigorous standards that define and drive progress in AI capabilities.

STRC Unpegged by 11%, Can Strategy's Perpetual Motion Machine Keep Turning?

STRC, the perpetual preferred stock of MicroStrategy, is experiencing a persistent de-pegging from its target par value of $100, with the discount recently widening to over 11%. This de-anchoring challenges the core design of STRC, which was intended as a stable, income-oriented security operating near $100. As a crucial funding engine for MicroStrategy's Bitcoin acquisition strategy, STRC's price reflects market confidence in the company's entire capital model. The company's "capital flywheel" relies on issuing STRC at or above $100 via an At-the-Market (ATM) program to raise cash for buying Bitcoin, thereby boosting company equity and theoretically supporting STRC's value. A monthly adjustable dividend mechanism was designed to maintain this peg. Despite raising the dividend to 11.5% and increasing payment frequency, the de-pegging persists. Market concerns extend beyond technical factors like leveraged arbitrage unwinding. Analysts point to MicroStrategy's limited cash reserves relative to its ~$1.7 billion annual dividend obligation for preferred shares. While the company counters that its vast Bitcoin holdings could cover decades of payments, this argument hinges on the potential need to sell Bitcoin—a shift from its longstanding "hodl" narrative. The company's recent sale of a small amount of BTC, framed as a test, amplified these liquidity and strategy concerns. If STRC remains discounted, impairing MicroStrategy's ability to raise cheap capital, fears may grow that the company could sell more Bitcoin to meet obligations. This scenario could transform MicroStrategy from a major market buyer into a potential seller, posing significant downside risk for Bitcoin. The re-pegging of STRC is thus a key indicator for the health of MicroStrategy's capital structure and its market impact.

Silicon Valley's Most Sought-After New Role Has Emerged

Silicon Valley's New Most Wanted Job: The Rise of the Forward Deployment Engineer The AI industry is witnessing a significant shift. The focus has moved from developing cutting-edge models to deploying them effectively within enterprises. This has made the "Forward Deployment Engineer" (FDE) a critical and highly sought-after role at major firms like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. For the past three years, the industry prioritized model scientists. However, companies are now facing a harsh reality: purchasing powerful AI tools does not guarantee productivity gains or organizational change. The biggest hurdle is not the technology itself, but integrating it into complex legacy systems, workflows, and corporate cultures. This includes challenges like data silos, compliance requirements, and internal resistance. The FDE role, pioneered by Palantir Technologies, addresses this "last-mile" problem. FDEs are deployed on-site with clients for extended periods. Their job is to deeply understand the client's specific organizational structure, processes, and pain points, then tailor and implement the AI solution accordingly. They combine skills in technology, project management, and organizational change. A clear signal of this trend emerged in May 2026 when three AI giants made major moves. Anthropic launched a $1.5B joint venture for enterprise deployment. OpenAI formed an independent deployment subsidiary, DeployCo, with over $4B in commitments and acquired a deployment consultancy. Google Cloud's CEO publicly announced a large-scale recruitment drive for FDEs. This shift represents a fundamental change in the software business model: from selling tools to selling guaranteed outcomes. FDEs are the agents of this change, responsible for delivering a working system within the production environment, not just a demo. Real-world cases, such as challenges at Goldman Sachs (compliance barriers) and Target (internal cultural resistance), illustrate that the primary obstacles to AI adoption are organizational, not technical. An FDE's value lies in navigating these human and procedural complexities to facilitate a successful "AI migration." In essence, as core AI technology becomes more accessible and affordable, the true premium is shifting to the human expertise required to understand organizations and drive change—making the FDE role pivotal for the next phase of the AI revolution.

When the World Cup Collides with Agents: From Web2 to Web3, How Are Wallets Evolving into Agentic Wallets?

World Cup as a Catalyst for Agentic Wallets: From Web2 to Web3 This article explores how the World Cup provides a real-world scenario for observing the evolution of digital wallets from simple asset managers towards "Agentic Wallets"—intelligent, AI-powered interfaces. Using the example of prediction markets like Polymarket, it illustrates how AI Agents can lower the barrier to Web3 interaction. Instead of navigating complex DApps, users can express intent in natural language (e.g., "I think Portugal will win") within platforms like Discord or web pages. The Agent then interprets this intent, finds the relevant market, and seamlessly guides the user through the on-chain transaction via their wallet. The core shift is from wallets as mere "function menus" for signing transactions to "intent interpreters" that understand user goals. The article highlights parallel developments in traditional finance, such as Mastercard's "Agent Pay" and WeChat Pay's AI tests, which focus on granting AI controlled, authorized, and auditable payment capabilities. This underscores a broader trend of AI entering the financial layer. However, the article emphasizes that the primary challenge for Agentic Wallets in Web3 is not automation but establishing clear security boundaries. Unlike traditional systems with chargebacks, on-chain transactions are often irreversible. Therefore, future wallets must ensure users retain ultimate control and comprehension. They need to transparently communicate an Agent's permissions, spending limits, authorized durations, and provide easy ways to pause or revoke access. The World Cup experiments represent early steps toward wallets that are not just applications but ubiquitous, intelligent interfaces that simplify Web3 while keeping users securely in control.

Options Don't Work in DeFi? Vitalik Might Not Agree

For years, the prevailing view has been that options struggle to gain traction in DeFi due to complexity, fragmented liquidity, and lack of natural demand compared to products like perpetual futures. However, a recent algorithmic stablecoin design proposed by Vitalik Buterin presents a different perspective, using options not as a standalone trading product, but as foundational infrastructure for other financial instruments. In this design, one unit of ETH is split into two components: a "stable" side (P) that retains value up to a specified strike price, and an "upside" side (N) that captures all appreciation above that strike. Combined, they always equal one ETH, eliminating debt, margin, and liquidation risks inherent in typical collateralized debt position (CDP) stablecoins. The stable component essentially mimics the payoff of a covered call option. To function as a stablecoin, this structure requires continuously rolling deep in-the-money calls, which introduces challenges like rollover slippage, predictable transaction flow vulnerable to front-running, and persistent liquidity needs. A core hurdle is finding consistent buyers for the leveraged ETH upside exposure (N). While it offers leverage without funding rates or liquidation, it must compete with simpler alternatives like direct call options or perpetuals. The system's scalability depends on a sustained demand for this specific form of leverage. The author draws parallels to their experience with Rysk, where earlier versions of DeFi options protocols struggled. The breakthrough came with Rysk V12, which aligns incentives: asset holders generate yield by selling covered calls against their holdings, while market makers efficiently acquire the desired option exposure. This demonstrates that options can find product-market fit when embedded as a risk distribution and pricing engine within structured products, stablecoins, or yield-generating assets, rather than marketed as a complex direct trading instrument. Vitalik's proposal reinforces this architectural approach—using fully collateralized, non-custodial, and physically settled options as a fundamental building block. The real opportunity for options in DeFi may lie not in becoming the next perpetual swap, but in powering the next generation of on-chain financial products.
