加密市场震荡后,资金投资重心转向 Solana 与 DeFi

marsbitPublished on 2024-08-11Last updated on 2024-08-11

本周早些时候,加密货币市场大幅下跌,随后反弹,比特币下跌超过 15%,以太币经历了自 FTX 崩盘以来的最大跌幅。此次抛售是由更广泛的经济担忧和地缘政治因素引发的,增加了市场的不确定性。出于好奇,这些事件是否引发了加密货币基金策略的重大转变,我联系了管理流动性和对冲基金的领先加密货币投资者,了解他们未来的计划。

有趣的是,尽管市场最近动荡不安,但几家加密基金仍继续关注基本面,对Solana (SOL)和 DeFi 领域持强烈看涨立场。Asymmetric Financial 创始人、首席执行官兼首席信息官 Joe McCann 告诉我,他的公司管理着两只流动基金,资产管理规模 (AUM) 分别为 9 位数和 8 位数,他们仍在投资比特币,同时增持 Solana。“我们持有的以太坊为零”,麦肯说:“我认为未来完全没有理由继续持有它。Solana与 ETH 相比,SOL 刚刚突破至历史新高,验证了我们的论点,即 SOL 将继续大幅超越 ETH。”

Syncracy Capital 联合创始人 Ryan Watkins 也表达了同样的看法,他强调 Solana 相对于以太坊而言被低估了。他告诉我,“Solana 现在在大多数有意义的指标上都可以与以太坊相媲美,但交易价格仅为以太坊的 1/5。”Watkins 还对 Solana 的生态系统表示乐观,称与以太坊的生态系统相比,它的定价同样“错误”,“少数协议产生了 1000 万至 5000 万美元的收益,同比增长 100% 至 1000%,交易价格为标准普尔 500 指数的倍数——仅为以太坊同行的一小部分。”

沃特金斯还指出了 DeFi 和基础设施领域,并指出 Syncracy 观察到这些领域的收益为 8-9 位数,并且同比增长率达到三位数。“我们非常看好这些类别领先的现金流资产,”他说。沃特金斯补充说,Syncracy 管理着一只流动基金,资产管理规模为 9 位数。

同样,Multicoin Capital 的执行合伙人 Kyle Samani 重申了该公司对 Solana 的承诺,同时也表达了对去中心化物理和虚拟基础设施网络项目(DePIN 和 DeVIN)以及稳定币的信心增强

Maven 11 的投资组合经理 Ruben van den Eshof 指出,全球利率下调周期是稳定币和 DeFi 增长的催化剂。他告诉我,随着预期进一步降息,稳定币市场可能会进一步增长,这将极大地有利于 DeFi。Maven 11 正在相应地进行定位,将资金分配给 Maker 等稳定币和 Maple Finance 等市值较低的 DeFi 代币,van den Eshof 说道。

DeFiance Capital 创始人、首席执行官兼首席信息官 Arthur Cheong 分享说,该公司的重点最近转向了 DeFi,理由是其强大的产品市场契合度和诱人的估值。Cheong 说:“相对于我们跟踪的各种指标/吸引力,DeFi 的估值是 2020 年以来的最低水平。”另一方面,Cheong 补充说,由于需要更切实的增长和验证才能获得更高的估值,DeFiance 减少了对加密人工智能领域的投资。DeFiance 管理着一只流动基金,其资产管理规模为“8 位数高”。

Pantera Capital 的投资组合经理 Cosmo Jiang 强调,该公司将继续关注基本面,特别是在区块空间、DeFi、DePIN 和人工智能领域。Jiang 表示,Pantera 的投资领域包括 Solana、Toncoin、Hivemapper、Geodnet、Near 和 Bittensor,反映出其对不同行业的广泛兴趣。Jiang 表示,Pantera 管理着主动与被动、开放式与封闭式投资工具的组合,总资产管理规模超过 10 亿美元。

最后,Founders Fund 的 Joey Krug 告诉我,他个人增加了对“蓝筹” DeFi 资产的配置,包括 Uniswap、Fantom 和 Akash,每一种资产都有着良好的中长期催化剂。他说,虽然他的 ETH 敞口仍然很高,但 Krug 已经减少了比特币的持仓。“这主要是因为我认为山寨币相对于比特币已经相对触底,这为增加敞口提供了一个很好的机会,”Krug 说。

Wall Street Morning Report: Philadelphia Semiconductor Index Falls Nearly 3%, Nvidia's 'Circular Financing' Concerns Trigger Tech Stock Correction, Optical Communication and Chip Stocks Plunge

Wall Street Morning Report: The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell nearly 3%, and concerns over Nvidia's "revolving financing" sparked a tech stock pullback, with optical communications and chip stocks declining sharply. U.S. stocks retreated from record highs on Monday amid geopolitical tensions and AI financing doubts. The Dow fell 0.11%, the Nasdaq 0.32%, and the S&P 500 was nearly flat. Hopes for reopening the Strait of Hormuz dimmed after Trump demanded war reparations from Iran, pushing Brent crude above $87 and WTI above $82. Spot gold broke above $4400/oz. Treasury yields rose, with the market pricing in a ~54% chance of a September Fed hike. The semiconductor and AI infrastructure sectors were hit hard. The Philly Semiconductor Index dropped nearly 3%, with the semiconductor ETF down 2.28%. Optical communication was the worst-performing AI sub-sector, with Coherent plunging over 14%. The sell-off centered on Nvidia, which fell 2.86% on reports it is collaborating with major financial institutions to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital for AI infrastructure. Market concerns focused on whether this creates a circular financing loop and if future AI facilities can generate sufficient cash flow. Other notable moves: Intel dropped over 4% on a new share offering. Microsoft rose 1.21% on plans for its next-gen Maia 300 chip. The software sector outperformed, with Palantir up 1.85%. Energy stocks rallied nearly 4.7% on geopolitical risks. Key upcoming events include the RBA rate decision on Aug 11 and earnings from Lumentum, CoreWeave, and Super Micro Computer after the close on Aug 12, which will test the real demand for AI infrastructure.

Podcast Notes | VanEck Digital Asset Research Head: Current AI Infrastructure Rally Not a Bubble; Crypto Market Quiet Due to Institutional Disappointment in L1s

In this podcast, VanEck's Head of Digital Asset Research Matthew Sigel discusses the current market dynamics. He argues the ongoing AI infrastructure boom is not a bubble, contrasting it with the 19th-century railroad mania. Unlike railroads funded by speculative land grants and government bonds, today's AI data centers are backed by long-term private contracts and significant customer prepayments, making the investment cycle more sustainable. Sigel notes a recent market shift: companies with high capital expenditures (capex) were rewarded in early 2024 but are now being punished. Cryptocurrencies, categorized as software assets, have suffered alongside the broader software sector. His NODE ETF has outperformed Bitcoin by nearly 100 percentage points over 15 months, largely by betting on Bitcoin miners transitioning into AI data centers. He highlights the value of miners' key assets—power and land—and their new ability to fund growth through debt instead of diluting shareholders. Regarding the crypto market's weakness, Sigel points to institutional disappointment with major Layer-1 (L1) blockchains like Ethereum and Solana. Post-election rallies lacked breakout applications, and regulated entities are increasingly building their own private, permissioned chains (e.g., by Circle, Stripe, Wells Fargo), diluting the "winner-takes-all" potential of public L1s. He believes a regulatory catalyst like the CLARITY Act, which would enforce disclosure standards, could trigger a significant relief rally for some tokens, but remains cautious until then. He also views proposals by ETH, Solana, and NEAR to reduce token inflation as a positive, necessary adjustment for the maturing sector.

Shenzhen Competing for 'Tsinghua Faction' Talent

Shenzhen is actively attracting Tsinghua University-affiliated technology ventures, as highlighted during the "X-Day" Xili Lake Roadshow held in Nanshan. The event featured six startup projects from Tsinghua alumni, spanning semiconductors, AI, materials, and healthcare. The showcased companies include: Zhichen Semiconductor, developing edge AI chips; Guangsu Evolution, creating AI-powered home security systems; Qingli Technology, commercializing "self-superlubricating" technology; Shu Yu Technology, offering an AI Agent for analog chip design; Heyi Intelligent Control, providing AI-driven building management systems; and Shengshengyi, applying AI to assisted reproductive medicine. These ventures represent a trend of deep-tech innovation closely linked to academic research. The roadshow series, initiated a year ago, underscores a strategic shift in Shenzhen's investment landscape. Venture capital is moving earlier into the innovation cycle, seeking projects directly from laboratories and research papers. Tsinghua University serves as a key source for such early-stage, technology-intensive startups. Over the past two years, Tsinghua alumni projects have accounted for nearly 30% of the approximately 280 billion RMB in early-stage deep-tech funding in Shenzhen. The "X-Day" platform has facilitated significant growth. To date, its 19 roadshows have connected companies with investors thousands of times, leading to over 3.3 billion RMB in equity financing for 58 firms. Past participants like Kuaiwei Intelligent (recently valued over 10 billion RMB after a Series B round) and Lingcifang (securing four funding rounds in 18 months) exemplify the successful trajectory from this ecosystem. The activity underscores Shenzhen's, particularly Nanshan District's, role in bridging academic research from institutions like Tsinghua with industrial application and venture capital.
