Coinbase敦促美国证券交易委员会“放弃”其“非理性”的DeFi交易规则

币界网报道:

Coinbase周一再次公开反对美国证券交易委员会(SEC)多年来试图扩大“交易所”一词的官僚定义,如果成功,将使DeFi生态系统牢牢置于监管机构的管辖之下。

在周一提交给美国证券交易委员会的一份长达八页的评论中,Coinbase首席法律办公室Paul Grewal谴责潜在的规则变更在几个方面是“任意的”和“不合理的”,并敦促该机构“放弃努力”将拟议的规则应用于去中心化交易所(DEX)。

Coinbase反对这一变化的根本原因是,美国证券交易委员会继续拒绝承认DEX——由自动化的链上软件(又名智能合约)运行,几乎没有人工管理——从定义上讲,无法遵守为纽约证券交易所等传统证券交易所设计的规则和标准。

Grewal写道:“DEX无法遵守为集中式公司管理的传统金融交易所设计的注册和披露要求。”。“即使DEX能够以某种方式遵守现有的注册和披露规则,委员会也没有解释SEC注册的DEX如何促进数字资产的交易。”

由于这些明显的紧张局势,Coinbase在今天给美国证券交易委员会的信中暗示,该机构很可能试图暗中取缔DEX,但没有这么说。

Decrypt就这些指控与美国证券交易委员会进行了联系,但没有立即收到回复。

Coinbase进一步指责美国证券交易委员会未能完成对拟议规则变更的适当成本效益分析。这是因为监管机构只是笼统地表示,它将监管交易“加密资产证券”的交易所,而没有定义哪些数字资产构成证券,哪些不构成证券。

美国证券交易委员会长期以来一直拒绝划定这样的界限——它认为哪些加密货币是证券,哪些不是——这仍然是加密货币行业对该机构最大的不满之一。美国证券交易委员会没有提出这样的框架,而是选择逐一起诉其声称构成非法证券发行的加密项目。

近几个月来,监管机构甚至似乎对某些加密资产的看法发生了转变。例如,一年多来,据报道,美国证券交易委员会秘密地将以太坊视为一种证券。然后,在5月,该机构突然改变了方向,批准了华尔街以太坊现货ETF的交易。

Coinbase今天写道,由于美国证券交易委员会没有明确界定它认为哪些加密货币是证券,因此它不可能正确计算出准确的成本效益分析,以确定如果DEX像证券交易所一样受到监管,有多少金融活动将属于其职权范围。

Grewal写道:“如果没有一个单一、稳定的数字资产受证券法约束的观点,美国证券交易委员会就无法合理地进行这些计算。”。

因此,Coinbase表示,美国证券交易委员会“必须撤回该提案,收集进行合理成本效益分析所需的信息,尝试纠正其现有的错误假设和分析,并允许对委员会可能提出的任何修改后的提案进行下一轮评论”。

美国证券交易委员会去年首次提出了“交易所”的修订定义,这可能会影响DEX。从那时起,加密货币公司和项目一直在漫长的反复中寻求阻止规则变更的通过,将其视为对DeFi的生存威胁。

上个月,Uniswap Labs,一家领先的DEX背后的公司,在4月份受到美国证券交易委员会诉讼的威胁,致函监管机构,辩称其必须放弃监管DeFi的尝试。此前,美国最高法院做出了一项爆炸性裁决,严重限制了联邦机构自行界定其监管权力界限的能力。

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.
