Abstract

ETF 对以太坊的影响将超越比特币。

原文作者:Matt Hougan,Bitwise 首席投资官

每个人都想知道现货 ETP(注:ETF 是 ETP 的一种)推出后,以太坊的价格会发生什么变化。我的预测是:以太坊 ETP 的资金流入将推动价格创下历史新高,超过 5, 000 美元。

当然,这不会立即发生,我认为前几周 ETH 行情可能会出现动荡,因为在转换为 ETP 后,价值 110 亿美元的灰度以太坊信托 (ETHE) 中的资金将会流出。但我相信,以太坊会在年底创下新高。如果资金流超出预期,以太坊价格可能会更高。

供需决定一切

预估 ETP 发行对以太坊价格潜在影响的最佳方法就是分析供需。ETP 不会改变以太坊的基本面,但它确实会带来新的需求来源。

想想 1 月份现货比特币 ETP 推出后比特币价格的变化。自那天起,比特币 ETP 购买的比特币数量是矿工生产的比特币数量的两倍多:

  • ETP 购买的比特币: 263, 965 

  • 矿工生产的比特币: 129, 181 

所以,比特币价格上涨了。自 1 月 11 日比特币 ETP 推出以来,比特币已上涨约 25% 。如果从市场开始为比特币 ETP 提前定价的 2023 年 10 月算起,比特币已上涨超过 110% 。

我们会在以太坊上看到同样的影响吗?是的,我认为影响可能会更大。

正如我之前所写,我认为新的以太坊 ETP 将吸引数十亿美元的资金,而且流入这些新 ETP 的资金将比比特币产生更大的影响,原因有三个。

原因 1 :ETH 的短期通胀率较低

比特币 ETP 推出时,比特币网络的通胀率为 1.7% 。换句话说,比特币网络每年大约生产 328, 500 BTC,按当时的价格计算约为 160 亿美元。这意味着我们每年需要购买 160 亿美元的比特币才能维持其价格。

相比之下,以太坊过去一年的通胀率正好是 0% :一年前有 1.2 亿个 ETH,今天还是 1.2 亿个 ETH。这是因为,虽然每天都会生成少量 ETH,但用户使用以太坊上的应用程序(从稳定币到代币化基金)会消费 ETH。在过去的一年里,这两股力量已经达到了平衡。  

大量新需求遇到 0% 的新增供应?更进一步,如果以太坊上的活动增加,ETH 的消耗量也会增加,这是另一个有利于投资者的有机需求杠杆。

原因 2 :与比特币矿工不同,以太坊质押者无需出售

第二个主要区别是:比特币矿工通常必须出售他们生产的比特币,而以太坊质押者则不需要。

比特币挖矿成本高昂,需要高端计算机芯片和大量能源。因此,矿工通常会出售他们开采的大部分比特币,以弥补运营成本。

以太坊不依赖挖矿,而是使用一种称「权益证明」的系统。在权益证明系统中,用户将 ETH 作为抵押品,以确保他们准确、真实地处理交易。作为正确处理交易的回报,质押者将获得新的 ETH 作为奖励。

比特币挖矿和以太坊质押之间的一个关键区别是,质押没有显著的直接成本。因此,以太坊质押者不会被迫出售他们获得的 ETH。即使以太坊的通胀率升至 0% 以上,我也不认为质押者会面临显著的抛售压力。

从短期来看,以太坊每天的被迫抛售量明显少于比特币。

原因 3 : 28% 的 ETH 已被质押,无法进入市场

质押还有另一个影响:当你质押 ETH 时,你会将其锁定一段时间。在此期间,你不能提取 ETH 并出售。目前,所有 ETH 中有 28% 被质押,这意味着它实际上已经退出市场。

此外,另外 13% 的 ETH 被锁定在去中心化金融智能合约中,例如作为借贷市场的抵押品。这导致市场上的 ETH 数量进一步减少。

综合考虑,大约 40% 的 ETH 部分或完全退出市场。

这意味着什么?

正如我上面提到的,我预计新的以太坊 ETP 将取得成功,在上市后的前 18 个月内将吸引 150 亿美元的新资金。以太坊目前的交易价格约为 3, 400 美元,仅比其历史最高价低 29% 。如果 ETP 像我预期的那样成功,那以太坊创下新高几乎是必然的。

How 5G Will Be Launched in Russia: The Digital Ministry's Proposal and the Roadmap to 2035

Russia's Ministry of Digital Development has proposed a plan for launching 5G networks. It allows the "Big Four" mobile operators (Beeline, Megafon, MTS, T2) to deploy 5G on existing 4G/LTE base stations and frequencies, and will allocate them the new 4.63–4.99 GHz band. A key element is "technological neutrality," permitting the use of foreign equipment until September 2026. The new 4.63–4.99 GHz band is intended for more advanced services and industrial applications. However, a phased transition to Russian-made base stations will begin in 2027, with a target of at least 50% domestic equipment by 2030. The rollout timeline aims for 5G in cities with over 1 million people by the end of 2027, expanding to 84 cities by 2035. Initial "5G Ready" service, operating over existing infrastructure, will offer minimal speed improvements. Significant speed gains (4-10x over LTE) will require the new band and corresponding equipment. The plan addresses long-standing regulatory delays, including the military's hold on the global standard 3.4–3.8 GHz band. This forced Russia to adopt the 4.63–4.99 GHz range, overlapping with a Chinese band, making Chinese equipment a potential transitional solution. The success of the rollout will depend on equipment supply and the pace of production localization, while a challenge lies in smartphone compatibility with this non-standard frequency band.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas Announces a Colossal $700 Billion Allocation! How Will This Affect Bitcoin?

The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas warns that the growing adoption of tokenized deposits in the banking sector could pose unforeseen risks to the financial system. Tokenized deposits, which transfer traditional bank deposits to blockchain infrastructure, offer features like instant settlement and programmable payments. While issued by regulated banks and maintaining deposit characteristics, they could enable customers to move funds between banks much faster in search of higher yields. This would significantly weaken banks' liquidity management and lending capacity. The Fed's analysis estimates that an increase in deposit interest rate sensitivity by 10% could reduce the interest rate risk banks can bear by approximately $700 billion over ten years. Similarly, a 10% shortening of the average deposit maturity could reduce the banking system's capacity to convert deposits into loans by about $580 billion. This acceleration of deposit movement could force banks to rely on more expensive wholesale funding, increasing borrowing costs for consumers and businesses and potentially making traditional banks resemble non-bank financial institutions. While the report does not directly address Bitcoin, the described shifts could have long-term implications. Firstly, the tokenization of deposits by banks could promote institutional adoption of blockchain-based financial infrastructure, indirectly legitimizing digital asset classes like Bitcoin. Secondly, faster-moving deposits and resulting higher funding costs could increase the price of liquidity in the financial system. This could create near-term headwinds for risk assets, including Bitcoin, due to tighter financial conditions and potential selling pressure. The report concludes that widespread adoption of this technology could impact many areas, from payment systems to monetary policy transmission mechanisms.
