Abstract

纯Web3游戏项目需要降低FDV或构建技术护城河。

我热爱 Web3 游戏,很大一部分资金都投资在游戏 NFT 和代币上。不过,我对单纯的游戏代币非常不看好。 

市场需要正常化。目前,我对那些自 TGE 以来就完全失去增长势头的游戏项目没有任何好感。

如果我是一名交易员,我会认为那些交易 Memecoin 或押注蓬勃发展的人工智能领域的人是聪明人。目前没有理由在游戏代币上押注巨额筹码,市场的实际情况也恰恰如此。造成这种情况的原因有很多,但主要原因是游戏代币缺乏关键因素来支撑被高估的市场估值。

1. 游戏代币被高估

很少有 Web3 游戏能够匹配其市场估值。即使按流通市值而不是 FDV 计算,Web3 游戏也被高估了。例如,CATIZEN 是近期表现最突出的游戏之一,目前市值约为 2 亿美元,假设其年收入为 2000 万美元。

观点:为何不看好单纯的Web3游戏代币?

为了简单理解,你可以拿代币与股票对比,以评估它们的估值。韩国游戏公司 Shift Up 最近上市,市值约为 24 亿美元, 2023 年营收为 1.4 亿美元。市场认为它被高估,因为它具有巨大的未来潜力。

Nexon 的市值为 163 亿美元,年收入为 30 亿美元。Krafton 的市值为 123 亿美元,年收入为 15 亿美元。Take-Two Interactive 的市值为 263 亿美元,年收入为 53 亿美元。对于大多数大型游戏公司来说,年利润通常占其市值的 10-20% 。

代币经济学建立在游戏会无条件增长的前提下

还是以 CATIZEN 为例,从市值来看,这似乎是一个非常健康的项目,但问题在于解锁机制,主流游戏公司需要融资才能扩大规模,但 Web3 游戏项目的代币是自动解锁的。

事实上,单纯的游戏项目如果没有基础设施,是不可能实现增长的。除非有特殊情况,大多数游戏在发布时的用户数量最高,然后呈缓慢下降趋势,这是很常见的情况。换句话说,Web3 游戏自我增值的想法是违背市场规律的。

2. Memecoin 比游戏代币更有吸引力

在交易中发现低市值宝石的能力是一种宝贵的才能,最简单可靠的信号就是交易量。交易量不大意味着市场不太感兴趣,自然会导致上涨势头疲软。谁愿意交易自上市以来一直在下跌的行业?

如果您是一位赌徒,流动性再次进入加密货币时,您会押注哪种代币?

对比币安上 NEIRO、CATI、HMSTR 的走势图,我们可以看出明显的区别。尽管 CATI 在游戏收入方面明显优于传统 Web3 游戏,在外部社交媒体收入方面也明显优于 HMSTR,但市场表现却并不理想。在币安上,NEIRO 和 CATI 的交易量相差约 10 倍。

考虑到当前的市场情绪和交易所上市的意愿,这是典型的游戏代币进行 TGE 的最糟糕时机之一。游戏不可避免地由风险投资驱动,无法在当前市场中竞争的项目会迅速通过 NFT 销售、节点销售和 TGE,然后退出。因此,交易和持有 memecoin 比游戏代币更好。

我认为决定股票价格的三个原则是:对公司未来价值的预期、公司的业绩记录以及市场供需波动。目前,游戏代币没有业绩记录,供应超过需求,除非它们有特殊的营销手段,否则它们作为纯游戏的未来竞争力是不可靠的。

虽然将游戏代币与股票进行比较可能并不完全合适,但也有参考价值。关键在于哪些项目拥有推动市场叙事的关键。如果一家公司的未来价值仅仅取决于其游戏,那么它将无法生存。它需要基础设施,它需要技术推动力。

或者,从一开始就解锁全部代币并让市场决定价格。

最后的想法

观点:为何不看好单纯的Web3游戏代币?

我相信 2025 年第一季度加密货币将迎来显著的上涨。我和很多人一样喜欢 Web3 游戏,但是,我觉得纯 Web3 游戏代币的 FDV 需要降低。当然,如果你有基础设施或技术护城河(比如游戏链),你就可以获得更高的估值。但现在,有很多游戏虽然估值很高,但只服务于游戏本身。

这可能是游戏项目最糟糕的时候,或者可以将其视为一个常态化过程。今年我参加了几轮游戏项目的 KOL 融资,大多数都是亏损。VC 的加入让 FDV 越来越高,代币锁定结构违背了平均法则。

然而,一些游戏项目将在这一过程中生存下来,我们希望押注那些能够根据收入扩展到平台和基础设施的项目。请记住,推动市场的是一两个巨头,而我们处于交易者之前的阵地,可以优先挑选主角。然而,我们的弱点可能是过于痴迷于游戏的未来。即使我们热爱游戏,也需要尝试将其商业化。

End of the 'Gray Era' for Hong Kong and US Stock Trading Accounts: Where Can Your Money Go Now?

Hong Kong and US stock “grey account opening era” ends, where can your money go? In a coordinated regulatory crackdown starting May 22nd, Hong Kong's SFC and China's securities regulator have targeted the previously common but legally ambiguous practice of mainland Chinese investors opening accounts with Hong Kong brokers to trade Hong Kong and US stocks. The SFC issued a stern circular after a review of 12 brokerages, citing major deficiencies including inadequate due diligence, acceptance of suspicious or forged documents, and weak management of cross-border relationships. New requirements mandate mainland clients to submit a written declaration confirming their investment funds originate from *outside* mainland China, the account has never been closed for using suspicious documents, and agreeing to information disclosure. Brokers must immediately close accounts opened with suspicious documents and dormant accounts. Simultaneously, Chinese authorities launched a two-year campaign to rectify illegal cross-border securities activities. Key internet brokers like Futu, Tiger Brokers, and Longbridge are facing penalties, with existing accounts allowed only to sell/withdraw funds, not add new ones. The impact is immediate. Reports from social media and financial news outlets confirm that individuals traveling to Hong Kong to open accounts are now required to sign the new declaration. However, even after signing, applications are frequently rejected. The declaration shifts compliance responsibility to the client and acts as a filter, as most mainland investors' funds do not legally meet the "from outside China" criterion. Major brokers like Futu and Tiger have stopped accepting new mainland clients. A few, such as uSmart Securities, Fosun Wealth, and Cheerful Investment, still offer limited channels, but approvals have tightened significantly. Crucially, funding must now come exclusively from the investor's own bank account in Hong Kong or a qualified jurisdiction, blocking previous workarounds like using money changers or stablecoins. For mainland investors, compliant pathways still exist but are narrower. Individuals with overseas status (students, work visa holders) and verifiable offshore funds may still qualify. Official channels like Stock Connect, QDII, and the Cross-boundary Wealth Management Connect remain fully compliant options, albeit with product and quota limitations. On-chain alternatives exist but carry their own regulatory uncertainties and often exclude mainland users. The crackdown signals the end of the lax expansion period for Hong Kong brokers targeting mainland clients. While investment opportunities persist, the era of easy, low-compliance access is over. Investors must now carefully assess their eligibility and understand that signing the new declaration carries personal legal liability.

SpaceX's $1.75 Trillion IPO: A Quick Guide to 17 Related Stocks

**Title: SpaceX's $1.75 Trillion IPO: Analysis of 17 Related Stocks** SpaceX is set to IPO on Nasdaq with a $1.75 trillion valuation. The real value driver is Starlink, contributing 61% of Q1 revenue with high margins. Its valuation heavily depends on future execution, including user growth despite falling ARPU. Key stocks have already surged pre-IPO. Tesla (TSLA, +10%) is a primary beneficiary due to deep integration with SpaceX in chip design and AI. Rocket Lab (RKLB, +89%) is seen as a "mini-SpaceX," but faces risk from potential Neutron rocket delays. AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) competes in the same satellite-to-phone market as Starlink. Firefly (FLY, +70%) is a strong government contractor in lunar services. Partners like EchoStar (SATS), Planet Labs (PL), and T-Mobile (TMUS) will see revaluation. Suppliers like Qualcomm (QCOM, +57%) are critical ecosystem "picks and shovels." Investment vehicles like DXYZ (+80%) hold significant SpaceX stakes but trade at high premiums, which may collapse post-IPO. Redwire (RDW) is highlighted as an under-the-radar "pick and shovel" play in space components, with growth in defense contracts and microgravity pharmaceuticals. The article warns that much of the positive news is already priced in, and a post-IPO sell-off is possible. Large IPOs often underperform initially. Key risks include Starship delays, ARPU decline, and unforeseen black swan events affecting Elon Musk or space operations. Investors are advised to focus on companies with solid fundamentals and manage overall sector exposure carefully.

Conversation with VanEck CEO: Memory Chip Stocks Are a Bubble, Bitcoin Will Stay but Token Ecosystems Will Disappear

In this podcast, VanEck CEO Jan van Eck discusses his investment outlook centered on three key long-term ("10-year macro") themes: AI-driven compute demand, India's economic rise, and excessive government debt in developed nations. Regarding AI and semiconductors, van Eck believes Nvidia has transformed into a foundational "host" for AI infrastructure, possessing deep moats in software, scale, and power efficiency, making it a core holding. However, he views the recent surge in memory chip stocks as a bubble driven by temporary supply-demand imbalances and pricing power, lacking Nvidia's competitive durability. On asset management, he emphasizes that while ETFs are scale-driven tools, the decisions on which ETFs to own and how to allocate remain highly active. He expresses greatest concern over fixed-income market illiquidity and the risk of a loss of confidence in government debt sustainability. Van Eck is bullish on gold's long-term role as a global monetary alternative and highlights the dramatic policy-driven growth in nuclear energy investment. He is strongly positive on India due to its demographic trends and pro-business reforms. Discussing crypto, he labels 2026 the "year of the corporate-controlled chain," where traditional finance adopts blockchain's best features (like 24/7 operation and programmability) but retains control. He predicts a permanent "crypto winter" for many projects, with only Bitcoin, stablecoins, and the core blockchain concept surviving long-term. He sees the U.S. stablecoin bill as marginally impactful, enabling tech firms to compete with, but not replace, banks. Finally, he views the upcoming SpaceX IPO as a significant, positive liquidity event for markets and advises investors to maintain a long-term, macro perspective when making asset allocation decisions.
