AI 与区块链行业的结合,或将是下一个重要突破点。

撰文:比推 Asher Zhang

本轮牛市以来,除了比特币以及几个主流代币表现强势外,市场整体表现平平。加密市场中,并非没有涌现出新赛道,但最终都很难形成一股热潮,很多人甚至怀疑加密市场是否有进入到牛市阶段。不过伴随美联储即将进入降息周期,市场中乐观情绪不断上升,对于大牛市即将到来的预期也开始上升。那么,本轮牛市与以往有何不同?又有哪些真正值得关注的赛道呢?

Meme 破圈而出,DeFi 再铸高楼

本轮牛市以来,出现不少热点,比如 AI、全链游戏、连抽象、DePIN、以及 Layer2、再质押、比特币二层等等。这些赛道都具有一定技术能力,但热度和持续时间都非常有限。反而是 MEME,从最初比特币生态上的铭文、符文,然后到 Solana 上的 WIF、BONK 等,以及近期持续热火的 Pump.fun 和 SunPump 等,MEME 赛道持续许久,而且破圈而出。值得注意的是,本轮的 MEME 爆火,不同以往,并非单纯的 MEME 概念。

自 Pump.fun 诞生,MEME 热潮正在不断破圈,吸引众多 Web2 用户和名人加入到 Web3。根据加密风险投资公司 Hashed 的数据分析师 Subin Alon 整理的数据,自 1 月份推出以来,基于 Solana 和 Blast 区块链的加密项目 Pump.fun 上已创建了超过 100 万个 Meme 币项目。Pump.fun 作为散户投资者创建和交易 Meme 币首选场所,人气日益高涨,在短短六个月内就带来了超过 5000 万美元的估计收入。今年,Pump.fun 还吸引了包括说唱歌手 Iggy Azalea 在内的名人的关注,她在 Pump.fun 上推出了名为 MOTHER 的代币。

近期,SunPump 上线后,市场引发一定热议;其与 Pump.fun 在机制上类似,同时借助孙宇晨的波场生态,进一步打通 DEX 和 CEX,实质上是 DeFi 的更进一步,而非简单的 MEME 炒作。以 SunPump 为例,其核心功能包括:一键发币、绑定曲线机制、即时市场接入、流动性注入与代币销毁等功能。这些功能的实现,本质上都是 DeFi 进一步走向成熟的标志。虽然看似只是一个 MEME 代币,但其中涉及代币发行,代币流通、以及代币供求机制设计等诸多发面。所以,SunPump 与 Pump.fun 这类平台实质上是 DeFi 的再次升级,并且是 DeFi+Meme 的一次应用突破。

应用为王,DePIN 有望搭上 AI 顺风车

加密市场最近疲弱,除了 Meme 赛道偶有爆火项目,其他主流赛道表现平平。笔者认为,此时或是寻找优秀筹码的绝好时机。从整体上看,DePIN(去中心化基础设施)赛道,特别是和 AI 赛道有紧密联系的颇为值得关注。

之所以与 AI 赛道相关 DePIN 值得关注,其原因主要来自两方面:1)AI 作为未来全球发展的主要赛道,也是资本的主要投资方向,也是未来相当长一段时间内的发展趋势;2)DePIN 与 AI 赛道有互补的地方,加密市场中不少加密项目本身就拥有庞大算力,有些加密项目则致力于为 AI 和 ML 公司提供从模型训练到推理的 GPU 资源整合,提供低成本、高效率的云计算服务,比如 io.net 等。在今年的 WWDC 大会上,Apple 发布了 Apple Intelligence,这是其新推出的 AI 功能套件,适用于所有设备。其中,在最新的 iPad Pro 上展示了 OctaneX,这是一款由 Render Network 支持的 3D 设计软件。

AI 作为长久发展趋势,加密巨头也纷纷提前布局。Grayscale 去中心化 AI 基金是首个仅投资于去中心化 AI 协议原生代币的基金。目前该基金包括 Filecoin、Near、Render、Livepeer 和 Bittensor。Grayscale 指出,人们担忧未来将由中心化的 AI 主导,而加密技术有望创建一个更公平透明的生态系统。尽管加密与 AI 的结合仍处于早期阶段,但前景广阔。通过利用加密的力量,可以构建一个更公平、透明且值得信赖的 AI 生态系统。

Meme 与 DePIN 平分秋色,加密市场发展新模式

从区块链发展阶段看,区块链技术目前已经初步成熟,其迫切需要一个突破口冲击 Web2 的护城河,目前其实已经进入到应用为王的阶段。现在很多项目从技术角度看,虽然看起来很厉害,但如果不能真正吸引来用户,投资者也越来越不买单。虽然炒作 Meme 为很多技术极客和 VC 不齿,但这并不妨碍 Pump.fun 和 SunPump 这样的项目成为盈利能力最强的加密项目之一。除了 MEME,正如上文提及的灰度,加密巨头实质上正在积极布局 DePIN 赛道。

本轮的 MEME 不同于以往,其实质上是在原有的 DeFi 上进一步整合创新,其大大降低了 DeFi 的进入门槛。从长远来看,伴随未来越来越多赛道和应用进入到加密市场,其会更加离不开 Pump.fun 和 SunPump 这类平台,未来一些更加定制化的平台或也将不断涌现。MEME 平台的发展如果说是在原有基础上更进一步,那么 DePIN 与 AI 的结合则属于趋势性的结合。区块链行业的去中心化、算力挖矿、去中心化存储等都有与 AI 相结合潜在优势。

本质上讲,DePIN 更代表未来区块链行业发展的一个重要方向,在此基础之上,区块链上需要有更多的应用,从而繁荣链上经济,在这样的情况下,DeFi 才有可能创造更大的价值。

总结

虽然之前区块链行业从不同维度都进行了应用实验,比如社交、链游等需要方面,但从体量上看其实都很难撼动传统的 Web2 巨头。本轮牛市以来,MEME 热潮持续受到市场追捧,并因此吸引众多 Web2 用户,这也渐渐成为 Web2 用户进入 Web3 的第一站。虽然 MEME 炒作受到诟病,但确实为行业带来新增用户。目前,行业中尚还缺真正具有创新和破圈的应用,仅依靠 DeFi 仍然规模有限。目前看,AI 与区块链行业的结合,无疑将是下一个重要突破点。目前 AI 行业也处于落地应用初期,结合区块链的技术优势,有望迎来一片新天地。

**Weekly Spicy Review: Tech Lead's Bitcoin Bust, Reddit Meme, and Trump's Crypto Cash** This week's "Spicy Review" covers three notable incidents from the crypto world. **1. A Tech Lead Learns the Hard Way:** A former Google and Meta technical lead, Patrick Shyu, went viral after revealing he was forced to liquidate all his Bitcoin holdings. He suffered massive losses due to excessive leverage during Bitcoin's sharp decline from $120k to $60k. He shared critical observations: crypto trading often hinges on attention, not fundamentals; Bitcoin lacks a stable source of public focus; the AI boom is diverting capital; and Bitcoin faces structural risks like centralization of code maintenance and quantum computing threats. Despite his short-term exit, he remains a long-term believer. **2. Reddit Roasts the "Investment Whiz":** A popular meme on Reddit's CryptoCurrency subreddit depicted MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor looking down from a balcony. The caption joked about his relentless focus on buying Bitcoin with corporate funds, contrasting with average investors' mundane concerns. The post sparked humorous commentary on his high-risk, high-conviction strategy. **3. Trump's $1.4 Billion Crypto Haul:** The White House's financial disclosure revealed former President Donald Trump earned at least $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency activities in a year, contributing to a total income of over $2.2 billion. This windfall stands in stark contrast to the performance of "TrumpCoin" (officially DJT), which plummeted over 97% from its peak, reportedly causing investor losses exceeding $2 billion. Critics, like California Governor Gavin Newsom, accused Trump of profiting while his supporters suffered losses. The week highlighted a mix of painful lessons learned from leverage, community humor at industry figures, and the stark realities of political figures capitalizing on the crypto market.

How Far Are We from the End of the Crypto Bear Market?

How Much Longer Until the Crypto Bear Market Ends? A persistent negative Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index, reaching a record 46 consecutive days of negative values, underscores the ongoing crypto bear market. The downturn accelerated in late May/early June when MicroStrategy (referred to as "Strategy" in the text), a major BTC holder, sold a small amount of Bitcoin (32 BTC), shattering market confidence and triggering sharp declines in BTC, ETH, and SOL. This was compounded by sustained net outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs. June saw Bitcoin briefly fall below $60,000, its worst weekly performance since 2022, breaking below the critical 200-week moving average—a signal some analysts consider confirmation of a bear market. While some institutional analyses in mid-June suggested the bottom might be near (e.g., around $53,600 based on realized price, or a potential end during the 2026 World Cup summer), further price drops quickly disproved these optimistic forecasts. Key bear market indicators include: the severe de-pegging of MicroStrategy's preferred shares (STRC) from their $100 NAV, which later recovered partly due to company stabilization plans; a record number of BTC (over 10.83 million) and a significant portion of long-term ETH holders now in unrealized loss; and Bitcoin's price trading below its 200-week moving average. Predictions for the bear market's end vary. Some, like investor Yilihua, suggest July-August 2026 could present a final buying opportunity. Others, like miner Jiang Zhu'o'er, predict a bottom between $42,000-$44,000 in October-December 2026, based on the historical lag between MicroStrategy's mNAV ratio bottom and Bitcoin's price bottom. Technical indicators like the BTC 4-year average price index dipped briefly below 1, and the Coinbase Premium Index remains negative, suggesting a need for a price rebound to around $77,000 for a return to positive territory. In the absence of major external catalysts, the consensus leans toward the bear market persisting for another 2-3 months, with late September to early October 2026 being a potential turning point window.
