做市商视角下的“85”急跌:Jump或许只是“背锅侠”

昨日,受日本央行加息和美联储降息预期影响,加密市场乃至全球金融市场极速下行,加密市场的跌幅尤其严重,其中以以太坊为首的山寨币跌幅超 20% 。

做市商机构 Jump 大量抛售山寨币进一步引发加密市场恐慌,BitMEX 联创 Arthur Hayes 发文称某个“大家伙”被处置并在出售所有加密资产,而社区普遍猜测其所指的“大家伙”指的正是 Jump。

但事实真是如此吗?做市商机构 Jump 是否将手中项目方做市的币出售,以及本轮行情下跌的真正原因在哪?

Odaily星球日报为此采访做市商群体,试图从他们的视角侧面了解 Jump“卖币”以及行情下行的背后原因、做市场的常规操作逻辑以及牛市何时回归

宏观因素占主导,Jump 的持仓变动不足以影响市场

Odaily星球日报:本轮行情暴跌挺严重的,你能更具体地从宏观角度或加密市场的角度来分析一下原因吗?

SSS(匿名):从宏观层面来看,主要是日元汇率增值,日本央行加息,日元汇率攀升至 150 左右,现在是 140 多,刺破了亚太股票市场造成了一定的恐慌,美元资产也受到一定影响,从上周的盘面也可以看出来,恐慌情绪在上周全球市场已经有所蔓延。另一个重要原因是估值修复,美股目前处于高估值阶段,加密市场与美股的相关性很强,而且波动性更高,所以美股回调,加密市场很难保持独善其身。

Odaily星球日报追问:加密市场的暴跌需要一个诱因吗?诱因是 Jump 卖币吗?

SSS:本质上主要是宏观层面的因素。目前加密货币与宏观市场调控和流动性的相关性更强。虽然目前市场上关注 Jump 的链上资产的移动,但这不是主要影响行情的大幅度变化。比如 2022 年三箭资本的暴雷,虽然这是加密市场进入熊市的一个标志,但它并不是熊市触发的诱因。大型机构的行为只是市场用来解释行情转变的一个说明,本质上机构的持仓不足以影响整个市场的长期走向。

并且每一个对冲和量化基金都有套利和对冲的策略,但由于加密市场的特殊性,有一部分的对冲策略是在中心化交易所中进行的,链上可能存在很少的一部分,并且大都只是转入转出的交易动向,所以市场其实很片面的把单个信息总结处理成本次下跌的核心原因,那本质上其实还是跟宏观层面关系更大。

Odaily星球日报追问:作为做市商资深从业者,你认为 Jump 链上转移资产或者换成稳定币的行为,其中加密资产是自有持仓,还是用来项目做市的代币呢?

SSS:我更倾向于认为 Jump 的资金动向是自有持仓,原因有两点:首先,做市资金不会被用于质押。Jump 地址动向中都是从质押中取出资金,表明这些资金并非是用于做市的资产而是自有持仓。做市资金会存放在链上的钱包并接受多方监控,或在交易所开设的做市账户中,这些账户也会受到项目方和交易所的实时监控。

其次,近期大盘的调整导致对冲基金或量化基金的仓位调整,通常包括调仓、对冲和清仓操作,这是正常现象。市场上关注链上资金动向,而交易所内部的行为却难以观察,导致信息不完全。链上和交易所之间通常存在对冲行为,仅观察单边信息是不完整的。

当前,我们只能关注链上的动向,当看到以太坊等被转移到交易所时,可能会误以为是在砸盘。但实际上,这更可能是为了对冲,尽管其中也可能包含部分卖出的成分。但链上和交易所的资金动向都应综合考虑,以获得更全面的信息。

未来行情预期: 2025 年上半年牛市回归

Odaily星球日报:你怎么看待近期美联储降息前加密市场的调整?如果美联储在 9 月份降息,您预计加密市场的牛市会在什么时候回来?

SSS:历史上看,市场通常会在降息前调整。像 08 年的周期一样,市场一般都会在降息前有一个大幅调整。本质上,这次加密市场的暴跌反映了对未来预期的调整。交易实际上是对预期的反应,因此在降息预期落地之前,市场会提前进行调整。这次全球资产的大幅调整可能会倒逼美联储提前降息。如果美联储降息,市场上的资金量会增加,投资者和机构会寻找更优质的标的进行投资,这说明加密市场在与传统金融市场如股市等相比,吸引力并没有那么大。

一般来说,在这轮下跌潮中,全球大类资产都在调整,包括黄金,这反映了市场对短期整体预期的极度悲观情绪。加密货币的调整幅度往往远大于很多股票市场,包括美股,这表明加密市场目前在大类资产中仍被视为风险资产。风险资产通常会在降息的中后段,由流动性溢出带来爆发性的牛市。因此,风险资产的表现阶段一般是在降息的中后段。当前加密市场的表现也反映出这一趋势,需要等到流动性溢出时才有可能迎来爆发性的增长。

乐观一点的话,牛市回归可能在明年年初,即 2025 年第一季度;中性一点的话,可能在明年中期。降息落地需要一定过程,风险资产的表现阶段是在降息的中后段,所以全面牛市应该会在 25 年上半年来临。

Odaily星球日报:在这种行情下,你们公司的投资策略是怎样的?

SSS:当前的策略主要有两个方面:时间和价格。在时间方面,当前的市场行情与 2020 年 3 月的情况相似,当时全球资产普遍下跌,比特币也经历了经典的 3.12 事件。本轮加密市场暴跌的核心原因是日元和美元汇率变化,关键在于美联储近期的反应,是否会像 2020 年 3 月那样提前降息甚至快速降息。

在价格方面,我们遵循“熊市不言底,牛市不言顶”的原则,因此难以给出明确的价格区间。然而,从交易特征上看,如果市场进一步非理性下跌,导致底部筹码快速换手,那么该区域大概可以认为是底部区域。然而,抄底操作难度极大,因为急跌通常只有反弹而不会反转,底部过程会有震荡磨底和筹码确认的过程。因此,我们不会预判价格点位,而是通过交易行为特征大致判断底部区域,开始清仓操作并做好对冲。

在当前行情阶段, 7 月份比特币反弹时,我们在其未突破新高时已采取了一些对冲策略。因此,这次回撤中,我们的空仓收益率大于多头仓位的损失。总体来看,关键在于美联储的时间节点和市场飞顶下跌的筹码交换情况。

关于筹码交换,我们主要关注交易量。当交易量显著高于过去,不论是 4 小时、一小时还是天级别的交易量都持续几天显著增加时,这个区域大概就是底部区域。在这种情况下,交易量明显成倍于过去的平均交易量,是判断市场反弹和底部的重要指标。

Odaily星球日报:最后你认为在今年剩下的时间里,还有哪些投资机会?

SSS:我认为有两个方向:MEME Coin 和 AI 板块。MEME Coin 在下跌过程中仍然有很高的交易量,市场在下跌行情中还是选择了 MEME Coin。AI 是现在大类资产的主流叙事,宏观层面上 AI 的叙事会延续到加密市场。

The Computing Power Dilemma in the Sino-US AI Rivalry

The Sino-US AI rivalry faces a fundamental bottleneck: the widening compute power gap. While Chinese AI chip companies have seen investment surges, their current focus remains largely on the less demanding inference market. The real challenge lies in the high-end training chip sector, crucial for developing cutting-edge large language models (LLMs), where Nvidia holds a near-monopoly. The compute disparity is stark. US tech giants like Meta, Google, and xAI command massive GPU clusters, enabling them to train trillion-parameter models rapidly. Estimates suggest US data center count and total compute capacity significantly outstrip China's. This "brute force" advantage allows for faster model iteration and exploration of larger parameter scales, with top US models reportedly leading their Chinese counterparts by 8 to 15 months. Chinese alternatives, such as Huawei's Ascend and others from companies like Moore Thread and Biren, are emerging. They show promise in inference and some training scenarios, closing the performance gap with mid-range Nvidia products. However, the core hurdle extends beyond raw chip performance to the entrenched software ecosystem, exemplified by Nvidia's CUDA platform. The path forward involves "walking on two legs": navigating import restrictions while heavily investing in the domestic chip industry. Though still in a catch-up phase, China's vast market, talent pool, and capital are fostering progress. The ultimate test is whether Chinese firms can build a competitive hardware-software ecosystem to power the next generation of AI.

He Kaiming's Team's New Work: After Deleting VAE and Private Data, Text-to-Image Generation Becomes Even Stronger

KaiMing He's team introduces **MiniT2I**, a minimalist text-to-image (T2I) model that challenges the complexity of mainstream approaches. It eliminates components commonly considered essential: the VAE encoder-decoder, AdaLN conditioning mechanisms, auxiliary losses, private training data, and post-training alignment stages like RL/DPO. Instead, it uses a pure flow-matching objective trained directly on RGB pixels. The model employs a simplified **MM-JiT** Transformer architecture. It removes AdaLN blocks for conditioning and instead prepends two lightweight text adapter blocks to a standard pre-norm Transformer, allowing frozen T5 text features to adapt to the denoiser. Training follows a two-stage, LLM-like paradigm using only public datasets: pre-training on LLaVA-recaptioned CC12M for coverage, followed by fine-tuning on ~120k high-quality image-text pairs. With just 258M parameters (B/16), MiniT2I achieves competitive scores (0.87 on GenEval, 84.2 on DPG-Bench), outperforming larger pixel-space models. Scaling to 912M parameters (L/16) yields results comparable to SD3-Medium (~2B parameters) in style, composition, and imagination, though it lags in text rendering and named entities due to public data limitations. Key advantages include lower computational cost (~570 GFLOPs vs. ~1379 for latent models) and architectural simplicity. Acknowledged limitations include patch boundary artifacts in pixel space, side effects of high CFG scales, resolution ceilings for sequences longer than 1024 tokens, and the aforementioned data bottlenecks. The work demonstrates that high-performance T2I generation is possible with a radically simplified, publicly reproducible baseline.

The Insurance Industry Faces Its Biggest Competitor: Are Prediction Markets the "Barbarians at the Gate"?

The insurance industry, long a stable "ballast" in the economy, may face a significant challenge from the rise of prediction markets, which are beginning to function as a new form of risk hedging and insurance. Platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket are demonstrating their utility in areas traditionally dominated by insurers. Examples include Kalshi's partnership with sports insurance broker Game Point Capital to offer more cost-effective hedging for NBA team performance bonuses, and Polymarket's collaboration with real estate platform Parcl, allowing users to hedge against housing price fluctuations in major US cities. A New York bar also used Kalshi to hedge a marketing promotion tied to an NBA game outcome, highlighting prediction markets' potential for small business risk management. These markets offer advantages over traditional insurance and sports betting in transparency, liquidity, and flexibility. They allow information monetization across a wider range of events, act as neutral platforms rather than direct counterparties, and provide clearer pricing. A historical precedent is the "Mattress Mack" marketing campaigns, which used sports betting for large-scale customer refunds, but prediction markets offer a more systematic and accessible model. Experts like SIG CEO Jeff Yass see their potential for efficient, parameter-based risk sharing, such as for weather-related property damage. However, challenges remain, including liquidity issues, unclear regulatory boundaries, and potential manipulation of event outcomes. Despite these hurdles, prediction markets represent a growing competitive force for both traditional gambling platforms and segments of the insurance industry.

Insurance Industry Faces Its Biggest Competitor: Are Prediction Markets the 'Barbarians at the Gate'?

"Insurance Industry Faces New Rival: Are Prediction Markets the 'Barbarians at the Gate'?" Prediction markets, exemplified by platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, are emerging as potential disruptors to the traditional insurance industry by offering alternative risk-hedging mechanisms. These markets allow users to bet on specific event outcomes, effectively creating a form of customizable, on-demand insurance. Key examples highlight this shift. In sports, Kalshi partnered with insurance broker Game Point Capital to provide NBA teams with more affordable options to hedge performance bonuses compared to traditional insurers. In real estate, Polymarket's collaboration with Parcl lets users speculate on city-specific housing price indices, allowing homeowners to hedge against price drops or buyers against price increases. Furthermore, businesses like a New York bar have used Kalshi to hedge marketing promotions (e.g., offering free drinks if a team wins), framing the transaction explicitly as placing a "hedge." The article argues prediction markets offer advantages over traditional insurance and even sports betting in transparency, liquidity, and flexibility. They provide a wider range of event coverage, act as neutral platforms rather than counterparties, and offer clearer pricing. The piece cites historical precedents like large "refund promotion" hedges by businesses using sportsbooks but notes prediction markets modernize the concept. However, challenges remain for widespread adoption as an insurance alternative, including limited liquidity in some markets, unclear regulatory status, and potential vulnerabilities in event resolution mechanisms. Despite these hurdles, prediction markets are positioning themselves as new tools for risk management, directly challenging certain segments of the conventional insurance landscape.
