Abstract

AgentFi的时代才刚开始。

原文作者:@xingpt

在我们分析AI Agent赛道之前,不如先跳脱出来,从整体上来看crypto在这个周期究竟经历了些什么:

比特币与币圈解耦(Decouple)

比特币的这轮之前几乎等同于币圈,购买比特币即购买加密资产,即认同crypto和去中心化。

然而在比特币现货ETF通过之后,从美国总统到上市公司,购买比特币,承认比特币的价值已经似乎占据了主流意见;但crypto的存在意义,特别是以太坊和Altcoins似乎并未因此而收到主流社会和资金的认可。原因是复杂的。

最主要原因的是资产定位:比特币的定位被看作与黄金挂钩的另类资产,对冲通胀和超越主权货币的资产保值属性得到广泛认可。

而以太坊和其他山寨币,在华尔街老钱眼里仍然是没有成熟可持续商业模式的科技meme股。但相比于英伟达,微软,Amazon这些有用户有产品有需求的硬派科技公司,以太坊等币圈小弟的估值不低,回报弹性也不够,资产配置角度是属于风险收益比极低的资产。

如下图所示,以太坊的Sharpe Ratio要低于Meta,Google等科技公司。而比特币的Sharpe Ratio则仅次于这个周期超神的英伟达。

另一个重要因素就是整个宏观的利率和货币的宽松程度仍然不能和上一个周期的疫情大放水相提并论,叠加上AI产业的蓬勃发展,导致crypto对场外资金的吸引力不足。道理很好理解,总共就这么多钱,花在了买AI股票和GPU上,就没法买山寨币和以太坊。

美元M2货币供应仍然未恢复到2022年高点(数据来源:CEIC)

币圈内循环生态极大的不平衡(Imbalance)

既然币圈吸引场外资金的能力不足,那么场内的资金是否能够撬动足够的购买力。

我们粗略的用稳定币的总量+ 合约持仓量估算场内资金的话,不难发现当前场内资金的总量已经远超上个牛市。但除了BTC外,大部分山寨都没有新高。究竟问题出在哪里?

问题的根源在于供需不平衡。供给端是大量的极高估值融资的新项目,这些新项目大部分并未找到产品的实际应用场景(PMF),也没有多少真实用户。

这些项目之所以会存在来源于22年牛市,币圈vc的过度融资。由于币圈VC融了太多资金,而这些资金大多数以5年为限,3年左右投资+2年退出期,基金为了完成投资任务而忽略项目质量,疯狂进行投资出手布局。

那么谁来为这些项目提供买盘呢?

此前的退出渠道主要是中心化交易所,但中心化交易所在FTX事件后成为了众矢之的,鹰酱的长臂监管让中心化交易所苦不堪言,不仅担心被罚巨款,还要担心创始人被关监狱的风险。如此一来,中心化交易所的目标会发生转变,从拓展用户,提高交易量,变成了获得利润。

以拓展用户为导向的交易所必然要向用户让利,包括压低新项目估值,分享早期项目参与机会(IEO), 以及一系列线下场外拉新拓圈的活动。

在监管重拳下,交易所一方面收缩了线下和地区性的拓展拉新,另一方面也主动或被动地停止了类似IEO等让利业务。这样也导致场内的需求和买盘增长的动力不足。

AI Agent相比Meme币有独特优势

众所周知,币圈的核心应用场景是资产交易和资产发行;而每个牛市只有让用户参与到资产发行和资产交易的新模式才能产生财富效应,进而引发圈内资金加杠杆和圈外资金入圈的牛市现象。

但是在场内项目高估值,供需严重不平衡的前提下,Meme币成为第一个破局的赛道。

Meme以其无VC融资,公平发射为特征,以低市值快速暴涨的模式产生财富效应,并且带动了资产发行(pump.fun)和资产交易(Gmgn,TG bot)的新赛道。

Meme最重要的特征之一是其没有任何实际用途,这种金融的虚无主义可以解构VC做局,也适合IQ 50和IQ150的少数crypto用户。对于大多数IQ100的从业者和机构来说,参与的难度还是太大了,很难想象你跟基金的LP解释要投资Moodeng的原因是太可爱了,而卖掉Moodeng的原因是它长胖了不可爱了(I still love moodeng)。

但AI Agent可以凝聚大多数人的共识:跟基金LP,可以讲投资AI 基础建设的故事;跟IQ 50和IQ150的Degen可以讲链上meme和金狗的逻辑;跟IQ100的crypto从业者和币圈VC,可以讲投资AI Agent赛道项目的逻辑。

总之,AI Agent是这个周期web3行业的最大公约数。

我是怎么看AI Agent项目的

IQ 100应该怎么看AI Agent - 从Dapp到AgentApp

IQ100是包括我在内的绝大多数币圈从业者和投资机构,所以先来以我熟悉的投资框架来分析AI Agent。

我认为,对于币圈的投资机构俩说,最重要的一点是要理解AI Agent重塑了crypto的上下游产业链和估值逻辑。

通过2017-18和2020-21两波币圈牛市,区块链项目的产业链和估值逻辑逐渐成型:

底层公链; 市值天花板为以太坊,当前市值4000亿美金;龙二 Solana,市值大约是以太坊的1/4,未来可能到1/3甚至1/2;

中间层:如预言机Chainlink,全流通市值200亿美金,约为以太坊的5%;

DeFi等基础协议,Uniswap FDV市值130亿美金;AAVE大约50亿美金市值;分别是以太坊的3%和1.25%;

而DeFi底层的逻辑是基于智能合约(Smart Contract),智能合约的功能限制也限制了币圈其他应用的创新。

而现在将AI纳入区块链底层的技术栈之后,AI层成为与智能合约并行的技术底层,即所谓全链Agent层。(Fully-onchain AI Agent Layer)。

图片来源:(https://x.com/karsenthil/status/1874471383066984706)

这也能解释另外一个问题:为什么AI Agent之前的AI 项目没能引领新的叙事,因为无论是以代币激励共享GPU、Data、数据标注等项目,都仍然是把区块链当作一个激励层,并没有跳出智能合约应用(DAPP)的范畴,而AI Agent的应用则是在区块链底层和链下数据之间作为粘合剂以及更好的UX interface存在。

那么我们基于这个逻辑来看估值,如果DeFi的头部中间件Chainlink能够占5%的以太坊市值;类比AI Agent的Framework的话,我们大胆假设AI Agent的头部Framework也能占5%;目前ai16z的市值大约25亿美金,还有8-10倍空间;这里以ai16z举例,当然也可能有其他更好的Agent 框架出现。

而类似Virtual自带framework的发射平台则相当于Chainlink + Uni,Chainlink+Uni目前市值是330亿美金,Virtual 50亿美金计算则还有6倍空间。

Freysai(FAI)有点像AAVE,低调但deliver的产品质量极高,AI TEE的verifable 应用也会成为未来AgentApp的标配,市值天花板是以太坊的1.25%-3%,对应50到100亿美金。

其他的头部对标类似Spore相当于上个周期的算稳或者Launchapad,aixbt类比DeFi的聚合器1inch等,下限是10亿美金估值,上限看行情发展。

其他的AI项目可以自行对照,这里不在一一赘述。

IQ 100应该怎么看AI Agent - 如何改变币圈内卷生态

本轮周期从Meme开始几乎财富效应都发生在链上,但链上meme对于圈外用户和IQ100的机构来说还是操作门槛太高,大部分用户仍然习惯于在交易所交易。

但Agentapp最大的优势就在于交互

买资产:过去- 从中心化交易所APP和网站,充值挂单买币 ;

Agent时代- Agent应用直接自然语言买币,甚至可以智能辅助交易+投顾决策;

融资:过去 - 想概念,攒团队包装,找VC融种子轮,攒头部VC或者交易所接盘拉估值;

Agent时代 - 直接上github和产品,向社区传播,社区直接打钱;

**发币:**过去- 上测试网,公布半年前的VC融资高估值信息,吸引工作室刷测试网,找交易所谈条款被砍一刀,然后发币dump回血;

Agent时代- AI 自动发币,Agent掌握私钥,Agent加资金池,Agent自己去社区喊单;

整个循环都遵循着几个重要的标准:

项目开源,应用真实可见,代码可查询可验证

资金相对安全,私钥在Agent手中避免Dev撤池

融资和发币透明化,避免交易所上币老鼠仓,不透明的空投规则和VC核心圈抱团等问题

当然Agent发币也存在链上抢跑、KOL信息优势等问题,但相比过去黑箱式的操作手法显然已经有了极大的进步。

而能够赢得用户交易入口的Agentapp极有可能来对标交易所平台币的估值。

IQ150应该怎么看AI Agent

由于我是Mid-Curve,这里引用我的朋友Alen在一个多月前的观点(https://x.com/qiqileyuan/status/1858357959807635854),他认为AI Agent未来会形成一个新的AI社会,在AI社会里的AI人口将会创造超过万亿美元的社会经济,而这个AI经济体里比特币和crypto将成为货币和经济循环的重要资产。

对于 AI 生命体而言,AGI 是大脑,机器人是肉体,crypto赋予自主身份和经济系统。

用一句话总结来说就是:不要想AI能为你做什么,而去想你能为AI做什么

IQ50应该怎么看AI Agent

哪个胸大梭哈哪个。

Agent项目发展到哪个阶段了

根据cookie.fun的数据,AI Agent总市值约为186亿美金;约为DeFi 项目总市值290亿的64%;为GameFi赛道项目总市值246亿美金的75%,以及所有Layer2市值300亿美金的62%。(赛道分类根据Coingecko)

数据来源:cookie.fun

虽然市值统计比较粗略,但根据市场情绪来判断,AI Agent刚过半场,相当于中午12点到1点左右的太阳,正值盛年。

Messari做的这张图大致趋势更加乐观,AI Agent接近中场,但后续的涨幅更加可观。

参考文档:https://x.com/Defi0xJeff/status/1873272066834841699;

那么,后续的炒作可能性又在哪里?

我用IQ 100人士最喜欢的Garnter发展图分析Agent的各类型应用如下,由ChatGPT作图:

除了当前最热门的Launchpad和Framework模式,我个人比较看好的方向包括: Agent powerd crypto exchange : 包括意图交易,链上数据分析和智能投顾的agent驱动交易所;完全实现去中心化listing,去中心化资产存管,去中心化的代币发行,投资和融资全部由Agent驱动。不同类型的Agent exchange在agent对投资决策的参与程度,风险偏好等可能会有区别。

Agent powered Stablecoin:类似算稳的进化版本,通过AI来自动rebase,保持pegging等操作;

应用Agent化,类似tokenisation,让不同类型的应用+agent来运行,比如游戏、NFT、实体资产等;所有的应用最后都会将Agent服务加入到自己的核心功能当中。(过度的Agent化形成的泡沫也可以看作逃顶指标,比如每个链都开始做AIAgent。

最后一句话来总结,AgentFi的时代才刚开始

Warsh's Debut: Will the FED Chair Who Knows Crypto Best Bring Surprises or Shocks to the Market?

Kevin Warsh, the new Federal Reserve Chairman, prepares for his inaugural press conference amidst a challenging macroeconomic landscape: resurgent inflation, a bond market sell-off, and political pressure from President Trump for rate cuts. Uniquely, Warsh holds indirect investments in over 20 crypto and Web3 entities (e.g., Solana, dYdX), making him the first Fed Chair with disclosed crypto exposure. His stance may combine a hawkish, inflation-focused monetary policy with a crypto-friendly regulatory philosophy that shifts from Powell’s “same risk, same rule” approach toward a framework acknowledging blockchain’s productivity value. Warsh’s leadership could impact crypto markets across three dimensions: a paradigm shift in regulation (potentially accelerating pro-innovation legislation and stable币 rules), a re-pricing of risk premiums based on clearer communication and his view of AI as a structural disinflationary force, and a long-term reallocation of global institutional capital driven by increased legitimacy. Two potential scenarios for the press conference are outlined. A “positive surprise” would involve a dovish-leaning tone on rates coupled with signals of regulatory openness, potentially boosting crypto asset valuations. Conversely, a “negative shock” would see a more hawkish-than-expected stance on inflation and rates, triggering a broad risk-asset selloff that crypto markets would not escape. While ethics rules required Warsh to divest his crypto holdings upon confirmation, his deep understanding of the technology may fundamentally lower policy uncertainty and build a more receptive long-term foundation for digital assets’ integration into the mainstream financial system.

What is CRMON

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions. The Technology and Innovation Framework Behind CRMON The technological infrastructure supporting CRMON integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial mechanisms, delivering institutional-grade security and compliance while maintaining the operational advantages of decentralised systems. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, CRMON utilises robust smart contract capabilities to ensure transparent, secure operations. The smart contract architecture incorporates layered security and compliance mechanisms, enabling automated compliance checks and real-time asset backing verification. Integration with oracle services maintains accurate pricing and dividend information, ensuring CRMON reflects the underlying Salesforce stock's accurate performance. This architecture delivers automated dividend reinvestments and other corporate actions, eliminating manual processing requirements and directly enhancing tokenholder benefits. Ondo Finance ensures CRMON's security structure includes daily third-party verification of holdings, independent collateral agents, and a multiple-layer custody system through partnerships with established financial institutions. This framework safeguards tokenholder interests against operational risks while providing robust asset backing. The user interface enhances integration capabilities, allowing seamless interaction between CRMON and various decentralised finance protocols, as well as cryptocurrency exchanges. This interoperability enables users to leverage their tokenised equity across multiple platforms, creating sophisticated investment strategies that marry traditional equity characteristics with blockchain-native innovation. Leadership and Corporate Structure of Ondo Finance The leadership team behind CRMON and Ondo Finance blends expertise from traditional finance and blockchain technology, presenting a robust combination of skills essential for successfully bridging conventional markets with decentralised finance. Nathan Allman, the founder and CEO, emerged from a distinguished financial background before establishing Ondo Finance in 2021. Allman's experience includes notable roles at major financial institutions, including significant contributions to developing cryptocurrency market services. His insights into regulatory compliance were paramount in developing products like CRMON that successfully unify traditional securities with blockchain technology. With a team of professionals boasting substantial experience in both conventional finance and blockchain sectors, Ondo Finance's leadership comprises diverse expertise that covers every aspect of tokenised asset development. Justin Schmidt serves as President and COO, contributing unique operational expertise, while Chris Tyrell brings essential compliance knowledge. Investment Landscape and Funding History The investment landscape surrounding Ondo Finance reflects significant institutional confidence in its mission to tokenise real-world assets. The company has raised substantial funds through various investment rounds, attracting leading venture capital firms and strategic investors that recognise the transformative potential of tokenised securities like CRMON. Notably, Ondo Finance completed a successful Series A funding round in 2022, led by well-known venture capital firms. This funding success validates Ondo Finance's innovative approach to creating compliant, institutional-grade tokenised products. In total, Ondo Finance has successfully secured substantial funding, raising significant capital for product development and market expansion, including a noteworthy token sale that reinforced its governance structure through the establishment of the ONDO token. The diverse composition of investors reflects broad market confidence in Ondo Finance's business model, demonstrating support from both traditional and blockchain-native organisations. Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology. The technical implementation introduces multiple layers of security, compliance, and operational efficiency to meet institutional standards while enhancing accessibility. The tokenisation process begins by acquiring actual Salesforce stock through U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring each CRMON token maintains direct correlation with the underlying equity performance. Smart contracts automate operational processes, including dividend reinvestment and corporate action processing, facilitating a streamlined user experience. The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications. Plans for cross-chain compatibility through partnerships signal further ambitions for CRMON's market reach. By expanding to other blockchain networks, Ondo Finance aims to enhance accessibility and user engagement with tokenised equity products. Timeline and Historical Development of Tokenized Equity Innovation The timeline of CRMON's development and Ondo Finance's broader tokenised capabilities demonstrates a systematic innovation process beginning with the company's founding in 2021. 2021: Ondo Finance is founded by Nathan Allman and co-founders, launching initial products focused on structured vault offerings on the Ethereum blockchain. 2022: The company completes substantial funding rounds—both equity and token sales—totaling significant capital and launching initial tokenised U.S. Treasury products. 2023-2024: Ondo Finance experiences substantial growth, establishing partnerships with major financial institutions while expanding its product offerings beyond fixed-income securities. February 2025: Ondo Global Markets is announced, marking the transition into equity tokenisation with plans for accessing over one hundred U.S. stocks and ETFs. September 2025: The official launch of Ondo Global Markets includes CRMON alongside other tokenised equity offerings, marking a significant evolution in Ondo Finance's product ecosystem. This timeline highlights the organisation's rapid growth and its capability to adapt its technological and compliance frameworks to accommodate different asset classes effectively while maintaining security and regulatory integrity. Regulatory Framework and Compliance Approach Ondo Finance's regulatory framework showcases a sophisticated compliance strategy, essential for achieving institutional adoption in the tokenised securities market. The company's strong partnerships with U.S.-registered broker-dealers promote adherence to Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and apply robust investor protections. Acquisitions, such as Oasis Pro—a registered broker-dealer—significantly enhance Ondo Finance's compliance capabilities, ensuring thorough alignment with existing regulatory structures. The company employs independent verification procedures that foster transparency, aiming for a solid performance standards reputation. Furthermore, Ondo Finance's commitment extends to international regulatory compliance, ensuring token access remains restricted to eligible investors while adhering to pertinent cross-border securities regulations. Comprehensive attention to tax implications and reporting requirements fortifies the security and compliance landscape of CRMON, ensuring that investor obligations remain manageable. Future Prospects and Market Positioning The forward-looking landscape for CRMON and Ondo Finance illustrates substantial growth opportunities driven by institutional adoption of blockchain technology and escalating demand for efficient alternatives to conventional securities ownership. Market projections indicate the tokenised asset sector could value multiple trillion dollars by 2030. With plans to scale CRMON offerings significantly and integrate it with a dedicated blockchain infrastructure—Ondo Chain—Ondo Finance aims to elevate its institutional-grade tokenised asset operations. Additionally, the development of strategic partnerships enhances distribution capabilities while establishing the company's credibility in the financial market. Furthermore, the integration of tokenised equity with decentralised finance protocols offers new potential for innovative financial products and strategies previously impossible with traditional securities. These factors underscore CRMON's positioning to effectively capture increased market share and deliver innovative solutions for international investment exposure. Conclusion Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) symbolises a transformative development within financial markets, successfully bridging traditional equity ownership with blockchain technology to create unprecedented accessibility for global investors. Through Ondo Finance's sophisticated tokenisation framework, CRMON provides complete economic exposure to Salesforce equity performance while enhancing operational advantages that exceed traditional ownership. The launch of CRMON reflects the broader evolution of financial markets towards blockchain infrastructures that maintain regulatory compliance while delivering increased efficiency.
