以太坊基金会是「逃顶大师」吗?

8 月 23 日,美联储放出降息预期,加密货币市场迎来一波上涨走势。但是,一则链上操作接踵而至 — — 以太坊基金会于 8 月 24 日凌晨转移 3.5 万枚 ETH 至 Kraken 交易所。

以太坊基金会上次向 Kraken 转移大量 ETH 是在去年 5 月 6 日,当时基金会将 1.5 万枚 ETH 转入 Kraken 交易所。随后的 6 天内,ETH 价格从 2,006 美元暴跌至 1,740 美元,下跌幅度达 13%。

由于过去有数次相对高点大量出货的记录,以太坊基金会被市场戏称为「逃顶大师」。

例如,基金会曾在 2021 年牛市中成功在高点完成了两次出货:

(1)2021 年 5 月 17 日,以太坊基金会以均价 3,533 美元卖出 35,053 枚 ETH,随后加密市场经历「5.19 暴跌」,币价跌至 1,800 美元附近,几乎腰斩;

(2)2021 年 11 月 11 日,以太坊基金会再次以 4,677 美元均价,卖出了 2 万枚 ETH,随后市场便开始一路走低。这两次出货都称得上精准逃顶。

但是,从更长的时间维度来看,以太坊基金会其实并非每次都卖在最高点。

根据 Wu Blockchain 整理的数据显示,以太坊基金会也曾在 2020 年 12 月 17 日(以 657 美金的单价卖出 10 万枚 ETH)和 2021 年 3 月 12 日(以 1790 的单价卖出 2.8 万枚 ETH),均在以太坊暴涨之前卖飞,错失了后续的巨大涨幅。

从以太坊基金会近一年的转账记录来看,其实不难发现,其操作基本属于定期出售,仅靠几次高位卖出就将其称为「逃顶大师」,其实并不准确。

以太坊基金会为何抛售 ETH?

对于近期转移 3.5 万枚 ETH 至交易所的做法,以太坊基金会执行董事 AyaMiyaguchi 解释道,「这是以太坊基金会资金管理活动的一部分,以太坊基金会每年预算约为 1 亿美元,主要由赠款和工资组成,部分受助人只能接受法定货币。今年很长一段时间以来,以太坊基金会被告知不要进行任何资金活动,因为监管很复杂,目前无法提前分享计划。但是,这笔 ETH 转移交易并不等于销售,后续或将有计划地逐步销售」。

据加密分析师 DefiIgnas 数据,在转走 3.5 万枚 ETH 之后,以太坊基金会目前仍持有约 27.3 万枚 ETH,约占 ETH 总供应量的 0.25%。据最新报告,以太坊基金会在 2023 年第四季度拨款 3000 万美元,第三季度拨款 890 万美元。资金主要用于全球会议(比如著名的 Devcon 和 Devconnect)、在线课程、创新项目等。

另外,从 2021 年报告显示,以太坊基金会在内部开支、外部拨款和奖励上的总支出为 4800 万美元,其中 L1 研发支出 2100 万美元,社区发展(包括拨款和教育)支出 970 万美元,内部运营(薪资、法律费用等)支出 510 万美元。

另外,基金会出售代币不是个例,比如 Polkadot 曾因其疯狂的支出而备受争议。

以太坊基金会抛售的市场影响以及改进方向

从上图可见,自 7 月 23 日以太坊 ETF 上市以来,截止 8 月 26 日,灰度的 ETHE 累计净流出 79.9 万枚 ETH,平均每日净流出 3.2 万枚(其他 ETH 均为净流入状态,整体净流出约 14.19 万枚)。相比之下,以太坊基金会最近抛售的 3.5 万枚 ETH 并不算特别多。

实际上,以太坊基金会售出 ETH 的做法是可以理解的,毕竟团队开发运作需要资金支持。而且,基金会持有的 27.3 万枚 ETH 仅占总供应量的 0.25%。从市值占比来看,基金会的抛售行为对市场流动性的直接影响较小,负面效应更多体现在市场情绪上,如导致 ETH 持有者信心受挫、跟风卖出等,

另外,以太坊基金会此前曾公布 1 亿美元的预算内容,但社区近期的反应凸显了对定期财务详细信息披露日益增长的需求。例如,定期发布包含财务和基础更新的详尽报告,报告包含团队支出、出售 ETH 的时间安排(应充分考虑如何减小对市场的影响)、资金的使用方式和地点、团队规模和分配等,并为社区提供关于以太坊基金会的公告、活动、财务活动等接口,如此,社区情绪将会变得更加稳定,ETH 持有者也会更加关注、理解和支持以太坊基金会,帮助推动以太坊的发展。

期待 ETH 基金会通过持续的研发公关,社区运营和市场教育,能为以太坊这条最著名的智能合约区块链带来更多的开发者和用户。

But Bin's Latest Speech: Do Not Miss Out on a Great Era

Dan Bin's Latest Speech: Don't Miss a Great Era On June 29th, Dan Bin, Chairman of Dongfang Harbor (东方港湾), delivered a keynote speech titled "Don't Miss a Great Era" at the "2026—All in the Silicon-based New Epoch" Mid-Year Strategy Summit. Addressing concerns about an AI bubble, Dan Bin argued from an industrial cycle perspective that "the risk of missing an era may be greater than worrying about short-term bubbles." He views humanity as standing at the dawn of the AI era, which could be more disruptive than the electronics, internet, and mobile internet eras. He posits that the AI wave is unlikely to end in just three or four years. Using the internet era's decade-long rhythm as a reference point—with ChatGPT's late 2022 launch as the starting line—a key risk assessment window may only arrive around 2033. Dan Bin emphasized that technological progress is the primary driver of long-term capital market growth, while factors like trade wars or interest rate hikes are secondary. Expanding to a civilizational scale, Dan Bin presented a thought experiment on silicon-based life potentially supplementing or succeeding carbon-based life as a direction for extending Earth's civilization, especially over cosmic timescales spanning billions of years. On geopolitics, he noted that AI is already rewriting warfare rules, as seen in conflicts like Ukraine, and that neither the U.S. nor China can afford to lose the AI race, with each leveraging different strengths. Reflecting on investment lessons, Dan Bin cited Warren Buffett's and Charlie Munger's admitted "regrets" about missing major tech opportunities like Microsoft, underscoring the need for continuous cognitive evolution. His firm, Dongfang Harbor, is deepening its research in foundational AI areas like computing power and storage. Dan Bin concluded by urging investors to maintain a long-term perspective, embrace the epochal shift, and rationally hold onto the opportunities presented by this transformative age. He closed with a poetic reminder: "The tide never turns back... Born in this time is a great fortune in itself. Don't let hesitation trap your steps, nor short-sightedness waste the years—do not miss this magnificent era that belongs to us."

Latest Speech by Dan Bin: Do Not Miss Out on a Great Era

Dan Bin, Chairman of Dongfang Harbor, delivered a keynote speech titled "Don't Miss a Great Era" at the Glonghui "2026—All in Silicon-Based New纪元" Mid-Year Strategy Summit on June 29th. Addressing concerns about an AI bubble, he argued from an industrial cycle perspective that the risk of missing an entire epoch far outweighs the risk of short-term泡沫. He positioned humanity at the dawn of the AI era, which he views as potentially more disruptive than the electronic, internet, and mobile internet eras. Dan Bin suggested the AI wave is unlikely to end in just three to four years. Drawing a parallel to the internet era's decade-long cycle starting from the 1994 Netscape IPO, he indicated that with ChatGPT's late-2022 launch as a marker, a key risk assessment point might not arrive until around 2033. He emphasized that technological progress is the primary driver of long-term capital market growth, with factors like trade wars and interest rates being secondary. Expanding his perspective to a civilizational scale, Dan Bin presented a thought experiment on silicon-based life potentially replacing carbon-based life as a direction for延续 Earth's civilization, especially given cosmic timescales and interstellar travel challenges. He noted AI's必然 weaponization, citing examples from the Russia-Ukraine war, and stated that neither the U.S. nor China can afford to lose the AI race, with each having distinct competitive advantages. Reflecting on investment lessons, he mentioned Warren Buffett's recent moves into tech like Google and查理·芒格's expressed regret about missing Microsoft's massive growth, underscoring the need for continuous认知迭代. Dan Bin concluded by urging investors to maintain a long-term perspective, focus on core technological trends, and rationally embrace the opportunities of this transformative era, so as not to辜负 this "great时代" defined by波澜壮阔 change.
