伦敦劳合社通过以太坊公链提供数字资产保护保险。

伦敦劳合社(Lloyd’s of London)拥有三百多年的历史,现通过以太坊公链提供数字资产保护保险。这些保险可以用加密货币在链上直接支付,简化了中介繁重的纸面工作,提高了效率。Evertas 和智能合约保险提供商 Nayms 在这一过程中起到了关键作用。

伦敦劳合社是世界上最著名的保险市场之一,成立于 1686 年。作为一个全球性保险和再保险市场,劳合社并不是一家保险公司,而是一个由多个保险公司和个人承保人组成的市场,这些成员被称为「Names」。劳合社为承保各种风险提供平台,包括航运、航空、自然灾害等复杂和高风险领域。

劳合社的独特之处在于其承保方式和运作模式。每个承保人(或称为「成员」)通过劳合社的辛迪加(Syndicate)承保风险,这些辛迪加由经理公司(Managing Agent)管理。劳合社的结构允许承保人将风险分散给多个成员,从而提高了承保能力和稳定性。

Evertas 是一家专注于加密货币领域的保险平台,最近获得了伦敦劳合社(Lloyd’s of London)的承保人资格,成为第一个为数字钱包产品提供保险的劳合社承保人。这一资格使 Evertas 能够在不同地区和特定领域编写和管理保单,并代表劳合社成员公司 Arch Insurance 编写保单。Arch Insurance 也是 Evertas 承保人申请的赞助商。

劳合社美洲区总裁 Hank Watkins 表示:「批准 Evertas 的承保人申请,是 Arch Insurance 与其新分销合作伙伴合作的成果,这一创新方案旨在促进一个因缺乏风险转移选项而受阻的行业的增长。」

Evertas 首席执行官 J. Gdanski 表示他们的目标是让使用公共区块链基础设施的人能够与传统法币机构无缝对接。无论是用 USDC 还是本地加密货币支付,或者将保单完全放在链上,区块链都能帮助协调经纪人、被保险人和保险公司之间的工作。

Nayms 是一个数字市场,专注于将经纪人和承保人与加密资本投资连接起来,其名字源于劳合社的「Name」,即那些在劳合社承保风险的个人和公司。Evertas 还为保管人、交易所和比特币矿业提供保险。去年,Evertas 收购了矿业保险专家 Bitsure,并为每个加密矿场提供高达 2 亿美元的保单限额。

Evertas 的欧洲承保负责人 Nick Selby 表示他们在承保过程中引入了加密领域的专业知识,深入了解所承保的风险,从而可以明确承保范围,并且能更快地支付理赔。

Rented Faith: How Much of the Bitcoin ETF Inflows Is Real Money?

"Rented Conviction: How Much of Bitcoin ETF Flows Is Real Money" The weekly inflows into Bitcoin ETFs are often interpreted as a gauge of institutional belief. However, a significant portion of this activity is driven by a hidden arbitrage trade, not directional conviction. The core mechanism is a cash-and-carry arbitrage: traders buy spot Bitcoin (often via ETFs) while simultaneously shorting CME futures to lock in the price difference, or "basis." This delta-neutral trade is essentially an interest rate play. In weekly data, about half the fluctuation in ETF flows can be explained by new short positions added by leveraged funds (hedge funds), with a correlation of 0.70. Bitcoin's price movement in a given week shows no statistical power in predicting these flows. While this arbitrage trade drives weekly *volatility*, it is not the main component of the cumulative *stock*. Of the total ~$55 billion in net ETF inflows, the current net arbitrage position is only about $1 billion. The remainder is steady, directional buying averaging ~$400 million per week, which constitutes the vast majority of the accumulated "mountain" over two years. Thus, ETF flow data overstates the *volatility* of conviction, not its *level*. This arbitrage trade has been unwinding for nearly two years. Leveraged fund short positions peaked at ~$14 billion in late 2024 and have since declined to ~$4.5 billion. When the basis compresses to unprofitable levels, ETF inflows and short positions retreat together. Recent outflows should not be mistaken for a loss of faith but rather the routine unwinding of this rate trade. For Ethereum ETFs, the pattern is weaker. Accounting for staking yield makes the basis often negative, so neither strong conviction buying nor robust arbitrage supports its flows. To interpret ETF flows correctly, monitor the CME basis versus T-bill rates and leveraged fund net shorts. They reveal how much of the next "demand" headline is real. The real, patient buy-and-hold demand is what constitutes the enduring bulk of ETF assets.

Soaring Over Tenfold Within the Year: The Frenzy Over SK Hynix Leveraged Products

South China Morning Post The leveraged ETF tracking SK Hynix has surged over tenfold year-to-date, fueled by intense market speculation on the memory chip sector. By June 22, the value of the 'South Korea 2x Long SK Hynix ETF' listed in Hong Kong had skyrocketed by more than 1,061% since the start of the year, while its asset size exploded over twenty times from the end of last year. The rally is driven by AI-driven demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), with SK Hynix recently sampling its next-generation HBM4E product. However, industry professionals warn of significant risks. Leveraged ETFs magnify both gains and losses. During a recent market correction, while the underlying SK Hynix stock fell 19.1%, its double-leveraged ETF dropped nearly 38%. Korean regulators noted that such products could theoretically lose 60% in a single day. Additionally, these ETFs face risks like time decay in volatile markets, liquidity spirals during mass redemptions, and extreme price dislocations from market-making failures, as seen in early June when an ETF moved opposite to its underlying stock. The trading is predominantly driven by retail investors, with institutional capital largely absent due to the products' high volatility. Analysts caution that with the semiconductor sector at elevated valuations and facing geopolitical and supply chain uncertainties, leveraged ETFs pose a substantial threat of amplified losses for uninformed investors.

18 Months, Over 50x Surge: KIOXIA's Epic Comeback

KIOXIA, a NAND flash memory giant, staged a dramatic comeback driven by AI demand. After a period of significant losses, a failed merger, and missed HBM opportunities, its 2024 IPO began modestly. However, fueled by explosive demand for AI data storage, its stock price skyrocketed over 50 times within 18 months, making it Japan's most valuable company, surpassing Toyota. Its Q1 FY2026 profit guidance soared 30-fold year-over-year, with 2026 NAND capacity already sold out. Key to its success is its 3D NAND technology, BiCS FLASH. As the inventor of NAND, KIOXIA advanced its technology through generations, reaching over 200 layers by 2023. Key innovations include CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array), which separately manufactures control circuits and memory arrays for better performance, and OPS (On Pitch Select Gate) to increase density. The company is now developing high-capacity packages like an 8TB solution stacking 32 dies. Looking beyond NAND, KIOXIA is exploring 3D DRAM with its OCTRAM technology, using oxide semiconductor transistors for ultra-low leakage to reduce power consumption. This fundamental research differs from HBM and represents a long-term bet to extend its 3D expertise from NAND into future DRAM architectures. KIOXIA's story highlights how technological assets and shifting market cycles can rapidly transform a company's fortunes. While questions remain about sustaining growth beyond the current AI boom, its resurgence demonstrates that in semiconductors, being down does not necessarily mean being out.

Market Trends in U.S. Stocks (June 23): Peak at Listing? SpaceX Loses Over $800 Billion in Three Days, Tech Stocks Experience Severe Internal Divergence

Stock Market Trends (June 23): Did SpaceX Peak at IPO? The company loses over $800 billion in market value in three days as a sharp divergence unfolds within the tech sector. SpaceX's post-IPO decline of over 20%, falling below its first-day close, reflects a swift market repricing. The catalyst is a clear shift in narrative from "AI platform potential" to concerns over rising capital costs, as its $8.57 billion IPO and subsequent $20 billion debt offering are earmarked for acquisitions and refinancing existing bridge loans rather than de-leveraging. While high-valuation tech stocks like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft faced pressure, Micron surged nearly 7% to a record high following a strategic supply deal with Anthropic for HBM and memory, highlighting robust, tangible demand in AI infrastructure. The broader market saw funds rotate into more defensive industrial and financial names. Macro factors included a dip in oil prices to a three-month low on news of a US-Iran framework deal, though logistical hurdles for resuming full Strait of Hormuz shipments remain. Key events ahead include Nvidia's shareholder meeting, Micron's earnings, and the May PCE inflation data. The latter will be crucial in determining whether the sell-off in high-valuation growth stocks, which appears to have just begun, will persist.
