比特币当前的上涨正值两种看涨叙事的结合:在不到八周的时间内,减半将使新增供应量减少一半,同时现货 ETF 吸筹比特币的速度已经快于开采速度。

除了现货 ETF 的新需求之外,减半通常被视为比特币价格大幅上涨的催化剂。

但在过去的两个周期中,受益最大的是加密货币,而不是比特币。从之前每次减半的前一年开始,比特币的峰值涨势为:

· 2012 年减半一年后增长 50, 000% 。

· 2016 年减半后近一年半的时间里增长了 8, 500% 。

· 2020 年减半一年半后 1, 000% 。

对于有数学思维的人来说,一个有趣的发现是,减半后比特币的涨幅大约是前一个周期的数字除以 6 到 8 (50, 000% /8, 500% ;8, 500% /1, 000% )。如果历史重现,那么这次比特币的峰值涨幅将低于 170% —而目前,它已经实现了大部分收益。

减半看涨,但现在押注BTC已经「不香了」?

考虑到比特币的市值已经超过 1 万亿美元,所有这些都是可以理解的。比特币的价格不可能像 2012 年那样在两年内上涨 500 倍,当时其市值还不到 2 亿美元。

比特币(BTC)目前约占整个加密货币市场的一半,但还有数以万计的其他加密货币,总体而言,它们往往会在比特币反弹最猛烈时「搭上顺风车」。

事实上,除比特币以外的代币总是能够从比特币牛市中获得更多的收益。2016 年减半前一年,不包括比特币的加密货币总价值为 6490 万美元。

减半事件发生一年后,即 2017-2018 年牛市最高峰时,这一数字增长了 6, 000 多倍,达到 4, 210 亿美元,这主要归功于 XRP、以太坊和比特币现金的崛起。

减半看涨,但现在押注BTC已经「不香了」?

同样,在加密货币的上一个周期(2019 年至 2021 年)中,比特币以外的加密货币在 2020 年减半前一年的估值为 716 亿美元。

一年半后,当比特币接近历史高位时,所有其他加密货币的价值为 1.7 万亿美元—- 增长超过 2, 000% ,超过了比特币 1, 000% 的增长率。

四年周期并非比特币独有

本文再次强调,三次减半的样本量太小,无法得出任何有意义的分析。

如此小的样本量意味着减半以外的因素也可能在形成看似规律的比特币四年市场周期中发挥作用。

全球流动性周期追踪全球经济中流动的现金量,它与比特币上涨的相关性可能比减半还要紧密。

减半看涨,但现在押注BTC已经「不香了」?

事实证明,全球流动性也以四年为周期运行。

与减半一样,证明全球流动性浪潮导致比特币爆炸性增长实际上仍然是不科学的,这很可能是两者的混合效应:随着全球流动性加深,供应减少,溢出到加密货币等投机资产类别,从而推高需求。

不包括上周现货 ETF 净流出的一天,美国实物支持的比特币基金平均每个交易日共购买了近 6, 350 枚比特币(3.62 亿美元)。

比特币矿工平均每天挖掘 147 个区块,每个区块都会获得 6.25 BTC(356, 600 美元)的奖励,这是网络分配新币的方式。

因此,矿工每天从区块链中提取的比特币不到 920 枚(5250 万美元)。以贝莱德 (BlackRock)、富达 (Fidelity) 和 Ark/21 Shares 为首的比特币基金代表股东购买了近六倍的资金。

比特币市场的许多方面都超过了比特币的供应量。今年平均每天约有 35, 000 BTC(20 亿美元)流入加密货币交易所,这表明潜在的比特币销量比每天开采量高出 37 倍。

减半看涨,但现在押注BTC已经「不香了」?

即使考虑到比特币最近的价格上涨,如果只有一小部分发送到交易所的比特币矿工最终被出售,那么假设有足够的供应来满足需求,而价格不会立即呈抛物线式上涨。

尽管如此,随着减半即将到来——预计在 4 月 19 日或 20 日——很容易看出他们如何吸引了整个市场的想象力。Bitwise、Bitfinex 和 CoinShares 等加密原生公司已经尝试揭开它们的神秘面纱,摩根大通和渣打银行等金融机构也是如此。

在实际层面上,比特币减半将从根本上彻底改变比特币挖矿的经济性,CoinShares 预计,如果比特币没有保持在 40, 000 美元以上(到目前为止,情况还不错),几家主要运营商将陷入困境。

渣打银行近年来以其大胆的加密价格预测而闻名,与此同时,该行仍维持在今年年底前每枚加密货币价格达到 10 万美元的目标,部分原因是减半可能会在多大程度上使供需向后者倾斜。

人们很容易绘制出之前减半后的比特币价格走势图(只有 3 次减半,分别是 2012 年、 2016 年和 2020 年)。毕竟,比特币最大的牛市在减半后的一年到一年半之间达到了顶峰。

除了证明「过去的表现并不能保证未来的结果」之外,每个人都在猜测为什么这次会有所不同。

无论减半对价格有(或没有)什么影响,回顾数据显示,尽管每四年都会进行大规模资本注入,但比特币市场的周期效应正在随着时间的推移而减弱。

Soaring Export Data for Memory Chips, Market Is Redefining the Valuation Anchor for Memory Stocks

Korean storage export data for the first 20 days of June shows substantial year-on-year increases in both value and price-per-kilogram for categories like DRAM, NAND, and SSDs. This signals a potential shift beyond simple demand recovery, indicating rising prices and a product mix shift towards higher-value items, possibly influenced by AI infrastructure needs. A key point is that the surge in price-per-kilogram is not simply a uniform chip price hike. It reflects a combination of actual price increases and, more importantly, an export structure increasingly dominated by high-value-density products like HBM (High-Bandwidth Memory) and advanced DRAM, which are critical for AI servers. This suggests AI-driven demand may be spilling over from just HBM into broader memory markets. SK Hynix stands to benefit directly due to its leading HBM position. For Samsung and Micron, the implication is potential for greater margin elasticity if the tightness in high-end memory spreads to enterprise SSD and NAND prices. However, the storage sector remains cyclical. Risks include supply expansion, inventory changes, and potential slowdowns in broader AI capital expenditure. Ultimately, while the strong export data supports upward revisions for storage company earnings and fuels discussion of an "AI infrastructure bottleneck premium," a definitive valuation shift from a cyclical to a structural story depends on upcoming quarterly reports. Investors need confirmation from SK Hynix, Samsung, and Micron that improvements in average selling prices, product mix, and, crucially,毛利率 are sustained over multiple quarters.

Why Does SpaceX Have Such a High Valuation Ceiling? The Answer Lies in Musk's Business Blueprint

SpaceX achieved a record-breaking IPO on June 12, 2026, with its market cap surging past $2.1 trillion. This valuation reflects its central role within Elon Musk's expansive, interconnected technological ecosystem. The article details how four core components form a synergistic closed-loop system: 1) **The "Brain" (xAI & Orbital Compute):** xAI provides AI models and massive ground/space-based supercomputing for simulation and decision-making across the system. 2) **The "Neural Logistics Core" (Starlink & Starship):** Starlink's low-latency satellite network enables global data transmission, while Starship's low-cost, reusable launch capacity aims to make large-scale space deployment economically viable. 3) **The "Physical Body" (Tesla & Optimus):** Tesla's manufacturing prowess and energy products support hardware production and power, pivoting toward mass-producing the Optimus humanoid robot for terrestrial and potential space-based labor. 4) **The "Human Interface" (Neuralink & X):** Neuralink seeks direct brain-computer communication, and the X platform provides real-time societal data. Together, these elements create three reinforcing "flywheels": manufacturing/logistics, data-driven iteration, and energy/compute/network synergy. This integrated approach promises lower costs, faster innovation cycles, and potential infrastructure-as-a-service offerings. However, it also concentrates technical, regulatory, and corporate governance risks. Ultimately, SpaceX's high valuation stems from its position as the indispensable infrastructural backbone—handling space transport, global communications, and future orbital computing—tying together Musk's entire vision for a self-reinforcing technological empire.

Snap, Unprofitable for Nine Years, and a Decade-Long AR Obsession Without Return

Snap's AR Obsession: A Decade of Betting Against the Odds On June 16, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel unveiled the new AR glasses, Specs, priced at $2,195, causing the company's stock (SNAP) to plummet nearly 10%. The launch was met with intense criticism online, with investors questioning why a consistently unprofitable company would stake its future on an expensive product its core young user base can't afford. Snapchat, known for pioneering features like ephemeral Stories and popular AR lenses (like the iconic dog filter), has a history of innovation often copied by rivals like Instagram and Meta. Despite this, it has struggled to translate first-mover advantage into commercial success. Since its 2017 IPO, Snap has reported annual net losses, with a Q1 2026 loss of $89 million. Its stock is down 94% from its 2021 peak, hampered by iOS privacy changes, competition, and a young demographic less attractive to major advertisers. In this challenging context, Spiegel is doubling down on AR. He calls 2026 a "crucible moment," having recently laid off 16% of staff while reportedly investing over $3.5 billion cumulatively in its AR glasses line over nearly a decade. The new Specs represent a significant leap from the 2016 camera-focused Spectacles, offering true AR overlays, gesture control, and standalone operation. However, at $2,195, it faces tough comparisons. While more advanced than Meta's $799 Ray-Ban smart glasses, critics point to its heavier weight, short battery life, and features largely replicable by a smartphone. Facing pressure from investors to cut losses on the Specs project, Spiegel has refused, framing it as essential to Snap's long-term vision. The company finds itself in a paradoxical position: cutting costs while heavily funding a decade-long, unproven bet. Some see Specs as an awkward but necessary step in AR's evolution, akin to early mobile phones. Whether Spiegel is a visionary outlier or a gambler destined to fail remains an open question, highlighting the tension between long-term ambition and short-term market demands.

Annualized Revenue Exceeds $20 Billion, Kalshi Aims to Become the First Prediction Platform IPO?

Kalshi, a leading U.S. prediction markets platform, is reportedly in early, informal discussions for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). The company's annualized revenue now exceeds $2 billion, fueled by its dominance of over 90% of the domestic prediction market activity. This growth stems from a surge in trading volume—reaching a total of $52.7 billion—and an increase in fee rates, largely driven by sports event contracts like the NBA playoffs and the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Monthly active users are approximately 2 million. Kalshi recently raised $1 billion in a funding round led by Coatue Management, valuing the company at $22 billion. It has also expanded its offerings to include Bitcoin perpetual contracts and plans to launch a dedicated trading platform, Kalshi Pro. However, Kalshi's path to an IPO faces significant regulatory hurdles. The core risk involves jurisdictional conflicts, as multiple U.S. states are challenging its operations under local gambling laws. For instance, Arizona has filed criminal charges against the platform, while states like Kentucky have filed lawsuits. Kalshi and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) argue that its event contracts fall under exclusive federal jurisdiction as "swaps." The outcomes of these ongoing legal battles could critically impact Kalshi's core revenue and its IPO timeline. Analysts suggest that while an IPO could theoretically occur by late 2026, a more likely timeframe is late 2027 or 2028, contingent on resolving legal issues and favorable market conditions. If successful, its fundraising could significantly exceed $1 billion, given its current valuation and revenue multiple.
