本轮战略融资的投资方包括 a16z、Coinbase Ventures、Variant、Pantera 和 Brevan Howard。

  • Morpho 并未透露基于这笔资金的估值，该笔资金是通过私人代币销售筹集的。

  • Morpho 此前曾于 2022 年筹集了 1800 万美元，当时这家 DeFi 公司的首席执行官 Paul Frambot 还在读大学三年级。

Morpho 是一种去中心化的加密货币借贷协议，在由 Ribbit Capital 领投的一轮战略融资中筹集了 5000 万美元，Ribbit Capital 是 Robinhood、Revolut 和 Coinbase 等金融科技公司的早期投资者。

参与私募代币销售的还有 a16z crypto、Coinbase Ventures、Variant、Pantera、Brevan Howard、BlockTower 和 Kraken Ventures 等重量级人物。Morpho 基于融资的估值尚未披露。该公司早在 2022 年就筹集了 1800 万美元的资金，当时该公司的首席执行官 Paul Frambot 还在读大学三年级。

这里的目标是将相对稀缺和内向的去中心化金融 ( DeFi ) 世界与互联网的基础协议层融合。Morpho 于两年前推出，从优化层的角色发展成为 Morpho Blue，后者是 Aave 和 Compound 用户提高利率的平台（在此过程中引起了一些争议），而 Morpho Blue 是一个基础设施，其他人可以在其上构建加密借贷应用程序并制定自己的风险管理策略。

“我们的目标一直是：如何摆脱 DeFi？” Frambot 在接受 CoinDesk 采访时表示。“我们如何确保最终——也许不是在短期内——能够将私人金融基础设施转变为公共产品？”

这就是Ribbit 等金融科技支持者的战略参与发挥作用的地方，因为 Robinhood 和 Revolut 等投资组合公司拥有庞大的分销渠道，可以使用 Morpho 灵活地设计借贷用例，而不会分散流动性，Frambot 表示。

“我们需要弥合 DeFi 的差距，并将其真正融入金融科技世界，而 Ribbit 显然是我们的合作伙伴，”Frambot 说道。“我们已经在现实世界中实现了潜在的整合，而不仅仅是像加密杠杆用例那样，坦率地说，这是目前 DeFi 借贷的大多数用例。”

本轮融资的其他投资者包括：Hack VC、IOSG、Rockaway、L1D、Mirana、Cherry、Semantic、Fenbushi、Leadblock Bitpanda 和 Robot Ventures。

Liquidity Forecasts Show Ozak AI Reaching a $1.5 Billion Fully Diluted Valuation Soon After Launch

Updated liquidity forecasts indicate that Ozak AI is positioned to reach a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $1.5 billion shortly after its initial exchange listings. With over $6.8 million raised in its presale—priced at $0.014 per token—and more than 1.17 billion tokens already sold, the project has demonstrated strong early capital formation, reducing downside risk during price discovery. Analysts highlight that Ozak AI’s concentrated early supply and capital-efficient structure could allow smaller liquidity injections to drive significant valuation expansion, potentially bypassing lower valuation ranges entirely. The project’s AI-native infrastructure—including Prediction Agents, the Ozak Stream Network, Data Vaults, EigenLayer integration, and Arbitrum Orbit deployment—supports higher valuation multiples by offering tangible utility rather than speculative appeal. Partnerships with Pyth Network, SINT, HIVE Intel, and Weblume further strengthen liquidity confidence and exchange adoption prospects. With robust presale performance, functional AI infrastructure, and favorable liquidity dynamics, Ozak AI is emerging as a liquidity-driven growth asset with the potential for rapid post-launch valuation scaling.

Clarity Act Reaches Critical Juncture: The U.S. Crypto Regulatory Crossroads

The U.S. cryptocurrency regulatory landscape faces a historic turning point in spring 2026. The fate of the CLARITY Act, which aims to establish a comprehensive market structure framework for digital assets—hangs in the balance. If it fails to clear the Senate Banking Committee by late April, its chances of passage drop drastically, potentially delaying U.S. crypto legislation for years. Simultaneously, the GENIUS Act is reshaping the stablecoin market through stringent prudential regulations, including AML/CFT compliance and reserve requirements, favoring major compliant players like USDC and Tether’s new USAT. A key political compromise led by Senators Tillis and Alsobrooks addresses contentious issues like stablecoin yields, though critical implementation details remain unresolved. The White House strongly supports the legislation as part of a strategy to make the U.S. a global crypto hub, but political challenges—including midterm elections and cross-party demands—threaten its progress. If passed, the CLARITY Act could unlock trillions in institutional capital and help the U.S. compete with the EU’s MiCA framework. If stalled, global regulatory leadership may shift to Europe and Asia. Regardless of outcome, regulatory clarity and compliance infrastructure are becoming central to competitive advantage in the crypto industry.

Warsh Hearing Concludes: What Are the Notable Signals for the Crypto Industry?

The Senate Banking Committee held a confirmation hearing for Judy Shelton, a Federal Reserve nominee, who faced intense questioning regarding her ability to maintain the central bank's independence amid pressure from President Trump to lower interest rates. Shelton denied any pre-arranged commitments on rate cuts and emphasized her independence, though Democrats remained skeptical, citing contradictions with Trump's public statements. Shelton characterized post-pandemic inflation as a major policy failure and called for a "regime change" in the Fed’s approach, including reforms to inflation measurement and communication strategies. She criticized the current practice of Fed officials frequently signaling future rate moves and did not commit to maintaining post-meeting press conferences, suggesting potential reductions in transparency. Regarding crypto markets, Shelton’s extensive investments in digital asset companies—including Solana, DeFi, and blockchain infrastructure—were noted, though she has pledged to divest these holdings due to ethics rules. Her familiarity with the crypto industry and deregulatory leanings may signal a more open, though cautious, stance toward digital assets. However, concerns were raised about potential conflicts of interest, especially given Trump family involvement in crypto-financial ventures. The timing of her confirmation remains uncertain, pending a Justice Department investigation into current Chair Powell. Shelton’s potential leadership could lead to a more hawkish, productivity-focused Fed with tighter policy communication—factors that may significantly influence liquidity conditions and macro narratives for crypto markets.

"Form Over Substance" Fed Hearing: Warsh Avoids Interest Rates, But Offers Reassurance for Crypto

Kevin Wash, nominee for Federal Reserve Chair, testified before the Senate Banking Committee, emphasizing his independence from former President Trump and stating that Trump never asked him to commit to specific interest rate decisions. Wash avoided extensive discussion on monetary policy but called for institutional reforms at the Fed, advocating for a gradual and cautious reduction of the balance sheet without clear signals on rate cuts. The hearing was seen as largely symbolic, with Wash’s confirmation hinging on political negotiations offstage, particularly whether Trump drops his investigation into current Chair Powell. Notably, Wash expressed a crypto-friendly stance, acknowledging digital assets as part of the U.S. financial services industry and committing to divest his own crypto holdings if confirmed. This marks a positive signal for the crypto market from a potential Fed leader.
