编者按:DeFi 储蓄协议 Sky(原 MakerDAO) 在 2025 年第一季度亏损 500 万美元,与上一季度 3100 万美元盈利形成鲜明对比。亏损主要因激励使用新稳定币 USDS 而非 DAI,导致利息支付激增 102%。尽管 USDS 旨在吸引资深投资者,但其用户基础增长不明,协议盈利受高利率拖累。

以下为原文内容(为便于阅读理解,原内容有所整编):

TL;DR

· DeFi 储蓄协议 Sky(原 MakerDAO) 第一季度亏损 500 万美元,较上一季度 3100 万美元的盈利大幅下滑。

· 为激励用户使用新稳定币 USDS 而非 DAI,该协议对储户的利息支付增加了 102%。

· 尽管推出了 USDS 以吸引 sophisticated 投资者,但尚不清楚是否显著扩大了 Sky 的用户基础。

据 Sky 贡献者 Steakhouse Financial 的报告,DeFi 储蓄协议 Sky 在第一季度亏损 500 万美元,原因是向代币持有者的利息支付翻倍有余。

这一亏损与上一季度形成鲜明对比,当时 Sky 录得 3100 万美元的盈利。利息支付增加 102% 的原因是协议决定激励用户使用较新的 Sky 美元稳定币(USDS)而非现有 DAI。

「Sky 储蓄利率保持在 12.5%,相对于市场其他部分非常高,吸引了大量资金流入,」Sky 联合创始人 Rune Christensen 通过 Telegram 对 CoinDesk 表示。当 Sky 在 2 月将利率降低至 4.5% 时,许多投资者仍选择留下,他说。

这种情况对该协议来说是一把双刃剑,该协议是 2017 年在以太坊上涌现的首批去中心化金融应用之一。

Sky 的运作类似于传统银行。它需要以高于支付给储户的利率向他人放贷。

然而,在没有相应增加 USDS 需求的情况下提供更高的利率正在损害协议的盈利能力,区块链研究与开发公司 GFX Labs 的治理联络人 PaperImperium 通过 Telegram 对 CoinDesk 表示。

「USDS 对收益构成重大拖累,」他说。「DAI 赚钱,USDS 则不然。」

推动 USDS 是 Sky 所谓「终局计划」的一部分,该计划由 Christensen 领导,旨在将协议转变为更去中心化和韧性的系统。

没有新需求?

当 Sky 从 MakerDAO 更名并在 8 月推出 USDS 作为终局计划的一部分时,计划是新稳定币将吸引与 DAI 不同的用户群体。

USDS 设计上更符合法规和财务报告要求,目标是吸引对冲基金、家族办公室和其他希望涉足去中心化金融的 sophisticated 机构投资者。

但尚不清楚 USDS 是否吸引了大量新用户。

投资者在 USDS 和 DAI 上可获得的回报不同:USDS 支付 4.5% 的收益率,而 DAI 为 2.75%。

许多投资者将 DAI 换成了 USDS,这意味着 Sky 需要向那些之前满足于较低收益率甚至无收益率的用户支付更多,PaperImperium 表示。

报告称,自本季度初以来,USDS 和 DAI 的总量增加了 57%。但这一增长的很大一部分来自合成美元协议 Ethena,该协议向质押的 USDS 投入了超过 4.5 亿美元,并将收益传递给质押其自身稳定币 USDe 的用户。

在过去一周,Ethena 将其部分储备从 USDS 转向 USDtb——一种由 BlackRock 的美元机构数字流动性基金(BUIDL)支持的稳定币。

此举意味着流通中的 USDS 减少。但这也可能通过减少协议必须支付的利息金额而惠及 Sky。

Opinion: AI Bubble Bursts, Bitcoin and Other Risky Assets Are the First to Be Impacted

BIS Warns AI Investment Boom Could Trigger Market Stress, Impacting Bitcoin First The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) warns that a potential bursting of the "AI bubble" could tighten liquidity and severely impact risk assets like Bitcoin in the near term. Major tech firms are projected to spend over $1 trillion on AI infrastructure in 2025-2026. The BIS cautions that if returns fail to meet expectations, a sudden withdrawal of financing could turn this investment boom into a prolonged bust, creating ripple effects across financial markets. While AI holds long-term economic promise, the current scale and speed of investment, coupled with intense competition and physical bottlenecks (e.g., semiconductors, power grids), mirror historical bubbles. The report highlights that the AI funding web—spanning corporate debt, private credit, and complex vendor agreements—makes systemic risks harder to see. A disappointment in AI adoption could transmit stress through this chain, widening credit spreads and pressuring weaker borrowers. For Bitcoin, the initial reaction to such a market shock would likely be defensive. As liquidity tightens, investors typically sell liquid assets first, and Bitcoin often trades in line with other risk assets during portfolio de-risking. Recent correlations, like Bitcoin's drop following a sharp decline in South Korea's stock market, support this view. However, the longer-term outcome for Bitcoin depends on the policy response. If an AI-driven credit crunch forces central banks to inject liquidity and ease policy eventually, it could reignite Bitcoin's narrative as a hedge against monetary debasement. Yet, traders betting on this outcome may first have to endure significant market volatility and potential price declines.

South Korea Reaps Riches, America Turns Hostile

The US has filed a collective antitrust lawsuit in California against Samsung, SK Hynix, and US-based Micron, alleging they colluded to create a "RAMpocalypse" by slashing traditional DRAM production and raising prices 700% over four years amid the AI boom. This lawsuit targets the heart of the AI supply chain: High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), critical for Nvidia's GPUs. Currently, SK Hynix (57%), Samsung (22%), and Micron (21%) dominate global HBM production. The case highlights a deeper US concern: in the AI era, South Korea, through its HBM dominance, is capturing an estimated 35% of global AI profits, second only to the US (49%). SK Hynix's operating profit margin recently hit a record 72%. In response to the lawsuit, South Korea announced a massive $800 trillion won investment to build four new chip plants, doubling down on its strategic position. Analysts see the lawsuit not merely as a consumer price issue but as strategic pressure. It aims to support Micron's US manufacturing expansion (subsidized by the CHIPS Act) and secure America's share of AI profits by bringing more HBM production onshore. However, South Korea's rapid execution and massive cash flow from current HBM sales give it a significant speed advantage over US build-out timelines. The conflict underscores a fundamental shift: AI infrastructure like GPUs and HBM is becoming a new form of strategic national resource, akin to oil. While Nvidia and Korean memory giants are interdependent, the struggle over profit distribution and industrial sovereignty in this new landscape is just beginning. This lawsuit may be the first major skirmish in the AI resource wars.
