Bitwise: Объем транзакций со стейблкоинами впервые обогнал показатели Visa

investing.ruPublished on 2025-04-17Last updated on 2025-04-17

В 2023 году объем транзакций Visa (NYSE:V) вырос примерно до $13 трлн, тогда как этот показатель у стейблкоиной достигал $7 трлн. Однако в 2024 году годовой объем транзакций со стейблкоинами удвоился почти до $14 трлн, обогнав Visa на $1 трлн — объем транзакций фиатной платежной системы составил около $13 трлн. Это означает, что стейблкоины становятся жизнеспособным инструментом для международных переводов, которые могут совершаться круглосуточно, быстро и экономично, без больших затрат на комиссии, сообщили в Bitwise.

Инвестиционный директор компании Мэтт Хоуган (Matt Hougan) сказал, что развитию стейблкоинов способствуют несколько факторов. Дональд Трамп стал первым президентом в США, поддерживающим криптовалюты, — в марте он подписал указ о создании государственного резерва в биткоинах. Комиссия по ценным бумагам и биржам США (SEC) отозвала несколько судебных исков против крупных криптокомпаний.

Прежняя администрация США «отрезала» криптоиндустрию от финансового сектора, поскольку банки опасались обслуживать отраслевые компании и криптотрейдеров из-за неопределенности в регулировании криптовалют. Теперь нормативный климат в США стал более благоприятным, о чем криптоиндустрия мечтала годами, сказал представитель Bitwise.

Несмотря на все хорошие новости, крипторынок резко упал. Индекс Bitwise 10 Large Cap Crypto снизился на 18%, а эфир — второй по рыночной капитализации криптоактив — упал на ошеломляющие 45%, обратил внимание Хоуган.

Откат крипторынка не должен плохо отразиться на стейблкоинах, совсем наоборот, прогнозирует Хоуган. Общий объем активов (AUM), вложенных в стабильные монеты, вырос до исторического максимума в $218 млрд. Это на 13,5% больше, чем в предыдущем квартале. Объем транзакций также вырос на 30,14%.

Ранее Хоуган заявил, что альткоины переживают сложные времена. По его мнению, сейчас нет ни одного крупного нового приложения, вызывающего огромный интерес к этому рынку, и спасти ситуацию может лишь бум мемтокенов.

A Threefold Performance Leap! NEAR Achieves 200ms Physical Block Time Limit with SPICE

NEAR's core development team, Near One, has announced its next major protocol evolution: SPICE (Separation of Consensus and Execution). Currently in development, SPICE represents the most significant upgrade before the full implementation of Nightshade 3.0. Its core innovation is decoupling the consensus layer, responsible for ordering transactions, from the execution layer, which processes them. This allows the consensus layer to run at full speed without waiting for transaction execution to complete. Once deployed, SPICE is projected to triple NEAR's block production speed, achieving a 200ms block time, which is considered the physical limit due to the speed of light and network latency. This leap will dramatically reduce transaction latency and finality, with transactions confirming in roughly 0.4 seconds—faster than a typical card payment. The upgrade also enables more complex, long-running transactions and significantly improves user experience for applications like NEAR Intents and near.com. Beyond raw speed, SPICE enhances network scalability and security. It enables deeper parallelism, efficiently distributing workload across shards and improving resource utilization. The simpler block structure and lighter contracts also facilitate formal verification and security auditing. Furthermore, SPICE lays the critical groundwork for future Nightshade 3.0 features, most notably atomic cross-shard transactions, which would simplify complex contract logic and eliminate development hurdles caused by asynchronous execution. The Near One team is actively developing SPICE, targeting deployment in the coming months.

TechFlow Intelligence Agency: AMD Restores Consumer CPU Memory Encryption Function, South Korean Chip Stocks Plunge 10% Triggering Market Turmoil

The technology sector experienced significant volatility, with a sharp decline in chip stocks. South Korea's KOSPI index plummeted nearly 10%, led by major players like Samsung and SK Hynix, indicating a potential sentiment shift in the AI hardware frenzy. AMD reversed a prior decision by reinstating memory encryption features in its consumer CPUs following user privacy concerns. In the AI software realm, user dissatisfaction is growing. Cursor IDE users are canceling subscriptions, citing declining code completion quality and slower responses. OpenAI's new Mac ChatGPT client is reportedly plagued by frequent crashes. Meanwhile, the community eagerly anticipates the release of DeepSeek's V4.1 model. Elsewhere, Huawei pledged to underwrite liability for its intelligent driving system while raising its premium software package price. Apple fixed a critical eavesdropping vulnerability in Beats Studio Buds. In finance, markets saw a broad "Black Tuesday," with gold prices falling and tech stocks like SpaceX and Micron dropping significantly. Analysts warn of a potential AI bubble. The overarching theme suggests the AI narrative is transitioning from initial hype to a phase demanding proven, stable value.

Donald Trump’s 2031 Post-Quantum Security Mandate Sparks Urgent Crypto Upgrade Efforts

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued executive orders mandating federal agencies to upgrade their cryptographic systems to quantum-resistant technologies. Key deadlines include enhancing critical systems by December 2030 and migrating all federal digital signature infrastructure to post-quantum standards by December 2031. The move addresses "harvest now, decrypt later" threats, where encrypted data could be decrypted by future quantum computers. The directive has spurred urgency in the crypto and blockchain industry, which relies heavily on elliptic curve cryptography vulnerable to quantum attacks. Recent advancements, like those from Google Quantum AI, have reduced the resources needed for such attacks. In response, projects like Ethereum, Algorand, and Ripple are developing or implementing quantum-resistant signature schemes and migration plans. The mandate also highlights risks to Bitcoin, where exposed public keys in legacy addresses could be targeted. Overall, the orders accelerate a broader shift toward post-quantum security across both government and private sectors.

Deep Insight: Decentralized Inference is Not Hype, but a Key Track for AI to Break Through Centralized Monopoly

Decentralized Reasoning: Beyond the Hype, a Key to Breaking AI's Centralized Monopoly A future scenario where a powerful AI model is banned by a major government illustrates the core value proposition of decentralized AI: resistance to censorship. The core bet of decentralized inference networks is mitigating this risk, with other benefits like cost being secondary. The path is extremely difficult, involving four key challenges: 1. **Running Massive Models:** Distributing a single model across a decentralized GPU swarm requires sophisticated techniques like pipeline and speculative decoding to overcome crippling network latency, aiming for usable speeds (e.g., 30-40 tokens/second). 2. **Proving Model Integrity:** Verifying that a node runs the correct model is critical. Solutions range from cryptographically secure but slow ZKML to faster, economically-secure methods like statistical fingerprints, deterministic re-execution, or live-weight proofs, each involving trade-offs between integrity, latency, and cost. 3. **Ensuring Prompt Privacy:** Simply sharding a model does not protect user inputs from nodes. Robust solutions currently require trusted hardware (TEEs) or advanced cryptography (FHE), which are not yet widely deployed in consumer swarms. 4. **Building a Real Market:** Identifying the ideal customer is tough. Beyond speculative AI agents, the viable market currently consists of startups embedding AI and projects needing batch processing (e.g., synthetic data generation), where decentralized aggregation can be an advantage over low-latency needs. The article analyzes several projects tackling these problems, such as Dolphin Network (live-weight proofs), Inference.net (statistical verification), Morpheus (TEE-based), and Darkbloom (Apple Secure Enclave). It provides a framework: decentralization is a "tax" for latency-sensitive applications (e.g., chat) but a potential supply-side advantage for throughput-oriented tasks (e.g., batch processing). The long-term vision is a closed data loop where decentralized inference generates valuable data (traces, preferences) to feed decentralized training networks, which in turn produce better open-weight models for the inference networks. A due diligence checklist advises focusing on projects that: are truly decentralized at specific layers; have a credible integrity method; offer real cost benefits; ensure genuine privacy; handle node reliability; have paying users; and are built by teams with deep AI expertise. The ultimate goal should be products that appeal beyond the crypto-native audience, using crypto mechanisms invisibly to deliver better cost, performance, or privacy.

Warsh’s First FOMC Chairmanship: Fed Provides Less Rate Guidance, Will US Bonds Become More Expensive?

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's first FOMC meeting in June 2026 marked a shift in communication policy. The Fed held rates steady at 3.50%-3.75% but removed some forward guidance from its statement, and Warsh did not submit his own "dot plot" interest rate forecast. The move reduces clear signals on future policy paths, which bond markets interpreted as introducing greater uncertainty. Consequently, short-term Treasury yields, like the 2-year, rose to multi-month highs as investors demanded higher yields to compensate for increased policy judgment risk. Warsh aims to break the "echo chamber" where markets overly focus on Fed signals rather than economic fundamentals. While some investors welcome potential reduced market speculation, others worry that less clarity will amplify volatility and raise borrowing costs. The review of Fed communication tools underscores a debate on balancing transparency with policy flexibility in a higher-rate environment.
