CZ归来:从企业家化身行业导师 加密守护者完成蜕变

marsbitPublished on 2024-09-28Last updated on 2024-09-29

北京时间9 月 28 日,币安创始人兼前任首席执行官CZ在推特发文“GM”,正式宣告自己的归来。这比原定出狱日期要提前两天。币安官方也第一时间表示,很高兴CZ将能够回家与家人团聚。

自今年5月1日CZ入狱以来,可以说币安乃至整个加密行业暂时缺少了一位布道者、领导者。但四个月后的今天,CZ重新回归,只是此时的他早已完成身份的转换,即将开启新的人生篇章。 

回顾加密行业与币安的发展史,我们会发现CZ的出现为整个区块链行业带来了强大的增长动力,然而加密市场蓬勃生长下也让许多人迷失了自我。但CZ却似乎始终是一位清醒者、勇敢者、理想主义者,在加密熊市中深耕建设,更加在监管审查下勇于承担所有责任,最重要的是不忘初心,一直秉持让加密惠及全球的使命感。

一、再遇CZ—新使命降临 

毫无疑问,CZ是一个传奇,不仅达成了打造成功企业、成为世界首富的目标,而且在监管重压下、舆论误解中昂然走出逆境。他的人生、他的币安,注定会在加密行业历史中留下浓墨重彩的一笔。

CZ是加拿大华人企业家,2013年起开始瞄准加密货币,2014年时出售上海房产套现并全仓投入比特币。2017年离开OKCoin,成立自己的公司币安并担任首席执行官。2017年7月,在首次代币发行中融资1,500万美元。

在不到八个月的时间,CZ将币安打造成为全球最大的加密货币交易所。2018年2月,《福布斯杂志》将他列为“加密货币首富”。同年底,币安宣布启动自己的区块链“币安链(币安Chain)”。 

然而伴随着加密熊市的来临,多个知名加密项目接连暴雷,一时间投资者损失惨重引起监管部门重视。

在2023年6月,美国证券交易委员会对币安及CZ提出13项指控。2023年11月21日,CZ宣布不再担任币安首席执行官,并承认未能在平台投入更多资源来达到美国反洗钱法的要求,币安将向美方支付约43亿美元罚款。

时间来到今年的5月1日,CZ在西雅图联邦法院被判处四个月监禁,同时他个人支付了 5000 万美元罚款。

在庭审期间,CZ 勇敢地承担下了所有责任,并积极采取重大和非常规措施配合执法部门的调查。他曾表示,承担责任的第一步是充分认识到错误,币安已经认识到了拥有强大的 KYC/AML 计划的重要性。

而CZ 案法官也曾表示,在他亲自阅读过 161 封声援信以及了解了CZ的过往后,他相信CZ有能力也有意愿改过自新。事实是,CZ做到了。 

可以说正是CZ冒着损失全部资产的风险让币安取得了成功,然而,外界依然有声音在误解着CZ。

今年7 月,彭博商业周刊中文版发布声明向赵长鹏及其创立的机构币安公开道歉,该道歉针对的文章《CZ的庞氏骗局》。该出版物承认犯了一个“严重错误”,发表了一个“虚假且毫无根据”的标题。这一迟来的道歉也再次让人审视,一直以来对于行业或者说对于CZ,是否带着有色眼镜。 

事实胜于雄辩,LUNA崩盘、FTX暴雷、加密项目跑路等等事件无不在损害着加密行业的声誉,但CZ在监管部门调查下却没有逃避责任,而是为币安以及整个加密行业的长远做着考量。他的贡献、他的牺牲,有目共睹。

CryptoQuant 首席执行官 Ki Young Ju 就在社交媒体发文表示,加密货币行业应以更加客观和前瞻的视角重新审视币安联合创始人CZ的贡献,他认为 CZ 的成就远超其失误。 

Ki Young Ju 指出,新兴行业常常面临内在价值与吸收资本不匹配的挑战,导致社会对行业领袖的批评。他认为,加密货币行业作为一个新兴领域,也不可避免地经历了这种成长阵痛。CZ 四个月的拘留期不仅是对个人行为的惩戒,更代表了整个行业发展过程中的阵痛。 

而CZ也曾多次在惨烈不堪的熊市中既保持币安的良好营运,又激励众人:“牛市来临是迟早的事。”

如今,CZ归来,但这位加密大亨却有着更加宏大、更具意义的人生规划。 

今年5 月,有消息表示CZ 在积极为转型 AI 和生物技术领域做准备。事实上,CZ 也提到曾与 Altman 沟通,“他们都相信 AI 将极大助力技术发展和人类知识进步”。CZ 还表示正寻求投资用于支持 AI 应用的大型数据中心。

与此同时,CZ被释放之后未来不会直接参与运营,但作为币安的最大股东,会在一定程度上影响币安的重要决断,其中也会包括安抚社区用户的FOMO情绪。 

此外,CZ也在社交平台上表示他将服完刑期,结束这一阶段后将专注于人生的下一个篇章 教育,而这无疑可以为加密行业持续带来增量,提高行业采用率。 

二、解绑币安:拥抱合规让加密事业新生

此前CZ的刑事和解协议中提到,他必须辞去币安首席执行官的职务,并远离公司的任何“日常”活动。同时,和解协议还要求币安接受美国政府指定的两名外部监督员,以确保合规性。 

CZ的离开让外界好奇币安的命运将会走向何方,但近四个月来的发展事实告诉我们,币安有着成熟的企业体系,并且在平台新任 CEO Richard Teng与联创He Yi的带领下稳步前进,币安平台用户数更是达到了2.3亿。

Richard Teng曾表示,币安目前已不再是“创始人领导”模式,而是转变为由董事会领导的“一家更加去中心化的公司”。币安已引入 3 名独立董事,并聚集了一支经验丰富的高管团队负责日常运营。这一转变目的是加强公司治理,以应对日益严格的监管环境。 

此外,他还透露目前币安并没有寻求 IPO 的计划,币安财务状况良好,自 2017 年第 5 个月开始即一直保持盈利,不需要通过 IPO 或其他融资方式筹集资金。币安不会急于回归美国市场,而是会谨慎评估监管环境。

去年11 月,CZ 宣布卸任 CEO 职务后,新任 CEO 由公司前全球区域市场负责人 Richard Teng 接替。其有着三十年金融服务和监管经验,致力于引领 币安进入下一个增长阶段,确保公司在安全、透明、合规和增长方面的发展。 

Richard Teng 在成为 币安的新任 CEO后表示,今天的 币安拥有比以往任何时候都更坚实的基础。为确保公司的光明未来,他将重点关注三个方面:1) 向用户保证公司的财务实力、安全性和稳定性;2) 与监管机构合作,全球范围内维护促进创新的高标准,同时提供重要的消费者保护;3) 与合作伙伴共同推动 Web3 的增长和普及。 Teng 表示,币安将坚定不移地继续前进,并呼吁大家的支持,对未来充满期待。

作为与CZ一路走来的战友,币安联创He Yi一直在管理平台团队的核心。He Yi参与了业务的各个方面,并负责 币安的人力资源部门。Richard Teng 曾称He Yi“是一个很有才华,思想高度独立的人。”

He Yi本人也确实亲力亲为,积极运营着币安日常事务,并且回答外界的各种质疑。譬如其曾表示如果有币安员工收贿赂欢迎举报、币安对僵尸币有管理措施,专设部门进行日常监控、币安上币由商务、研究组、委员会、合规审核四个环节构成等等。 

而币安在Richard Teng与He Yi的带领下稳步前进,并取得了新的里程碑。

如在8月15日,币安在印度金融情报单位(FIU-IND)正式注册为申报实体,达成全球第19个监管里程碑;9月6日,币安Kazakhstan获得阿斯塔纳金融服务管理局 (AFSA) 批准的全面监管许可;此前币安旗下的印尼CEX Tokocrypto获得实物加密资产交易商许可证。 

除了合规许可方面外,币安安全团队也成绩斐然,截止2024年7月底团队已成功追回或冻结外部机构盗取的7300多万美元用户资金。 

此外,表示今年计划招聘1000人、支出超2亿美元以加强合规。

可以说,CZ的获释以及币安平台的全面拥抱合规监管,已让这家全球最大交易平台的以往各种不确定因素烟消云散,这点从其有着全行业最多的监管许可牌照数上就可以看出。

结语 

加密行业一向被视作狂野西部、黑暗深林,其中难免隐匿着各种各样的危险。在传统的德道法律准绳约束下,不合规的行为需要有人为之承受。而历经十数年发展的加密行业至今只有CZ能够用最强大的勇气和决心去妥善解决问题,这无论对币安平台自身还是整个加密行业来说都意义非凡。

CZ的当担、币安的坚韧以及加密行业的未来潜力,这些都足以让人相信Web3世界与主流世界间的隔阂将越来越小,加密事业也终将能够为全球用户提供更优质的服务、推动人类社会的进程。

Retail Investors' 'Lead Brother' Serenity vs. Newly Minted Stock God Leopold: How Are the Two Top Hunters Mining AI's 'Physical Limits'?

The article profiles two prominent figures, Serenity and Leopold Aschenbrenner, who are gaining attention for their unconventional investment strategies focused on the physical constraints of the AI boom, moving beyond mainstream software narratives. Serenity, an anonymous online trader, advocates a "shiso leaf" theory. He targets small-cap companies with monopolies on critical, overlooked components in the AI hardware supply chain, such as specific semiconductor materials. His deep, technical analysis of bottlenecks in areas like co-packaged optics (CPO) has reportedly yielded massive returns, though his anonymity and focus on illiquid micro-cap stocks pose significant risks for followers. Leopold Aschenbrenner, a former OpenAI researcher, founded a multi-billion dollar hedge fund. His macro thesis argues that physical infrastructure—power grids, land, data centers—is the true bottleneck for AI growth, lagging far behind chip production. Consequently, his fund employs an infrastructure arbitrage strategy: heavily investing in storage and compute infrastructure companies while placing massive bearish bets (put options) against major semiconductor stocks, betting their valuations will correct as physical constraints become apparent. While their methods differ—Serenity drills into microscopic supply chain details, while Leopold takes a macroscopic, infrastructure-focused view—both share a core belief: the real power and investment alpha in the AI era lie in controlling scarce physical resources, not just software. The article concludes by noting the inherent risks in both approaches, such as liquidity issues for micro-caps and timing risks for macro bets, but suggests they signal a broader market re-evaluation of AI's foundational assets.

Who Will Make Money in the Age of Agents?

In the Agents era of blockchain, traditional value capture theories face challenges. The "Fat Protocol" theory, dominant since 2016, suggested protocols capture most value as their tokens are essential for network use. However, the proliferation of interchangeable L1s, L2s, and modular layers has eroded protocol scarcity and pricing power. Conversely, the "Fat App" theory posits that applications capturing user relationships (like wallets and exchanges) become the primary value layer by controlling distribution and transaction flows. This aligns with the current "Great Repricing" cycle. Agents disrupt this logic. As software users, they lack brand loyalty, prioritize cost and efficiency, and switch between platforms seamlessly. This undermines the front-end UX moats that "Fat Apps" rely on. The article explores several potential futures: 1. **Headless Applications:** Current leading apps could strip their front-ends and become backend API infrastructure for Agents, preserving their role. 2. **Protocol Resurgence:** If integration becomes trivial, Agents might bypass aggregators and interact directly with protocols, reviving "Fat Protocol" dynamics. 3. **Pricing Power Collapse:** Agents' rational, frictionless routing could commoditize the entire stack, compressing margins toward cost and leaving little profit for intermediaries. 4. **Unprecedented Activity:** Agents may enable new, high-frequency, machine-to-machine economic activities, expanding the total value pie even if margins are thin. 5. **A New, Unnamed Model:** Historically, major tech shifts (like the internet's attention economy) create unforeseen business models. The Agents era may spawn entirely new ways to capture value. The most likely outcome is a coexistence where "Fat Apps" continue to serve human users valuing UX, while a separate, Agent-driven economy emerges governed by different rules—where loyalty is based on factors like liquidity, latency, and settlement guarantees rather than brand.
