为创始人提供有关加密货币融资现状的一些见解,以及我个人对加密货币 VC 未来的一些预测。

话说在前:融资环境艰难,因为上游DPI(深潮注:按市值加权的指数,用于追踪去中心化金融(DeFi)资产在加密货币市场中的表现)和LP的资金挑战,纵观整个 VC 领域,基金在相同时间段内向LP返还的资金与以往相比有所减少。

这反过来导致现有和新创VC获得的净资本减少,最终导致创始人的融资环境更加艰难。

这对加密企业意味着什么?

2025 年交易放缓,但与 2024 年的资本部署步伐相匹配。

- 交易数量放缓可能与许多 VC 接近基金末期,可供部署的资金较少有关。

- 一些大型交易仍由大型基金完成,因此资本部署速度与前两年持平。

过去两年,加密货币并购交易持续改善,这预示着流动性和退出机会的良好发展。近期发生的包括 NinjaTrader、Privy、Bridge、Deribit、HiddenRoaad 等在内的大型并购交易,预示着整合和承销更多加密股权风险投资的好兆头。

过去一年,交易数量相对稳定,2024年第四季度和2025年第一季度有一些规模较大、处于后期阶段的交易完成(或宣布)。

这主要是因为更多交易属于早期的Pre-seed、种子轮和加速器阶段,这些阶段的资金总是比较充裕。

加速器和 Launchpad 引领各阶段交易数量

自 2024 年以来,市场上出现了大量的加速器和 Launchpad 平台,这可能反映了更为严峻的资本环境以及创始人选择更早地推出代币。

早期阶段交易规模中位数回升

Pre-seed融资规模持续同比增长,表明市场在早期阶段仍拥有充足的资金。种子轮、A轮和B轮融资中位数已接近或回升至2022年的水平。

加密VC未来阶段预测

1:代币将成为主要投资机制

从代币和股权的双重结构转向单一资产增值的统一结构。一种资产,一个价值增值的故事。

2:金融科技与加密VC的融合

每一位金融科技投资者都在转型成为加密货币投资者,因为他们希望投资于下一代支付网络、新型银行和代币化平台,而这些都建立在加密货币轨道之上。

加密 VC 的竞争即将到来,许多尚未投资稳定币/支付领域的加密 VC 将难以与经验丰富的金融科技VC竞争。

3:流动性风险投资的兴起

“流动性风险投资” ——流动性代币市场中的风险投资机会。

流动性——公共资产/代币的流动性意味着更快的流动性。

可访问性——在私人风险投资中,获得准入并不容易,而流动性风险投资意味着投资者并不总是需要赢得交易,他们可以直接购买资产。场外交易期权也可用。

仓位调整——由于公司更早发行代币,这意味着小型基金仍然可以建立有意义的仓位,大型基金也可以类似地部署到市值更大的流动性资产中。

资金配置——许多表现最佳的 VC 历史上都将其风险资金持有为 BTC 和 ETH 等代币,这些代币已产生超额回报。我个人认为,在熊市周期中,VC 提前调用更多资金,这种情况将变得更加正常。

加密货币将继续引领 VC 的前沿

公私资本市场的融合是风险投资的发展方向,随着企业推迟上市,更多传统 VC 选择在流动性市场(IPO后持有工具)或二级市场进行投资。加密货币正处于风险投资的前沿。

加密货币持续在新的资本市场形成方面进行创新。而且,随着越来越多的资产转移到链上,更多公司将着眼于链上优先的资本形成。

最后,加密货币的收益往往比传统风险投资更具幂律性(深潮注:在幂律分布中,大部分事件的发生概率很小,而极少数事件的发生概率很大。),顶级加密资产竞相成为主权数字货币和新金融经济的底层。这种分散性将更大,但加密货币的超幂律和波动性将继续推动资本进入加密货币风险投资领域,寻求非对称回报。

Stablecoin Salaries: Why Are They Becoming the First Choice for Cross-Border Workers?

Stablecoin Salaries: Why They're Becoming the Top Choice for Global Remote Workers The traditional global salary system carries hidden exchange rate risks for freelancers in countries like India, Argentina, and Turkey who earn in USD but spend in local currencies. When salaries are instantly converted to local currency, workers lose purchasing power if that currency depreciates against the dollar. For instance, an Indian designer converting a $2000 monthly salary to rupees lost over 10% in purchasing power last year due to the rupee's decline. Holding even a portion of income in USD or USD-pegged stablecoins can preserve value. Stablecoins offer a solution by breaking down barriers to holding dollars. Opening foreign USD bank accounts is difficult, and international wire transfers incur high fees (averaging 6.5%) and delays. In contrast, stablecoin transfers are fast and low-cost. Furthermore, many countries with high inflation and depreciating currencies restrict citizens' access to foreign currency. Self-custody stablecoin wallets enable workers to hold dollar-equivalent assets without needing bank approval, bypassing these limits. These wallets integrate multiple functions: they allow users to convert only what's needed for daily expenses into local currency, keep the remainder in stablecoins, connect to on-chain lending or yield products, and even link to payment cards for direct spending. While challenges remain—such as the lack of deposit insurance and evolving regulatory frameworks—the trend is clear. Reports indicate a growing preference for USD or stablecoin payments among freelancers in high-inflation countries. This shift represents a fundamental restructuring of salary functions: payment currency, asset storage, yield generation, spending, and cross-border flow. It offers the freedom and flexibility that are core to money's purpose, signaling a profound change in the global financial landscape.

Don't Just Focus on Layoffs, The New Structure of the Ethereum Foundation is More Worthy of Appreciation

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has undergone a significant organizational restructuring, with the most notable change being a strategic refocusing of its priorities rather than just a 20% staff reduction (approximately 54 people). The new structure clearly prioritizes the Protocol and Access layers, which now comprise the largest teams (57 and 34 people, respectively). This signals EF's intent to concentrate its core resources on fundamental, hard-to-outsource aspects of Ethereum: protocol evolution, security, privacy, client development, and the foundational access layer. Key areas within the Protocol layer, led by an architecture group including Vitalik Buterin and Justin Drake, receive heightened emphasis. These include post-quantum security, zkEVM, formal verification, and long-term roadmap development ("Strawmap"). This reflects a shift towards tackling complex, interdependent challenges like scalability, privacy, and future-proofing the protocol, potentially moving from a pure "redundant security" multi-client model towards more specialized clients aided by AI-assisted formal verification. Financially, EF's budget is being reduced by approximately 40%. The goal is to transition from spending about 15% of its remaining funds annually to a more sustainable 5% rate, akin to a long-term endowment, ensuring its longevity. Concurrently, the restructuring involves pushing certain responsibilities—such as application development, adoption, and ecosystem coordination—to external organizations like EthLabs, the Ethereum Apps Guild, and others. This "multi-node" model aims to increase ecosystem resilience by decentralizing functions beyond the EF, though it introduces new coordination challenges. In essence, the reorganization represents EF consciously narrowing its scope to focus on the hardest, most critical protocol-level problems while fostering a more distributed and sustainable ecosystem structure for Ethereum's future growth.

Report Analysis: What Is Coherent Planning as CPO Booms?

Title: Report Interpretation: What Moves Is Coherent Making Amid the CPO Boom? Summary: JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee reiterates an Overweight rating on Coherent (COHR), citing undervalued growth potential across three core areas: data center optical transceivers, co-packaged optics (CPO) chips, and industrial lasers/thermal management. COHR's 1.6T data center transceivers are in high demand, with pricing remaining firm. The rise of CPO is seen not as a threat but as a catalyst, creating higher demand for sophisticated optical components, an area where COHR holds a competitive edge with its comprehensive portfolio (lasers, isolators, VCSELs, thermoelectric coolers). Each CPO chip offers significantly greater revenue potential than traditional transceivers. Furthermore, its Optical Circuit Switch (OCS) technology targets a potential $4B market with reliability and power advantages. The company is expanding its InP (Indium Phosphide) device capacity fourfold within two years, securing substrate supply and transitioning to more cost-effective 6-inch wafers. As one of only two major suppliers of high-quality pump lasers—currently in severe shortage—COHR can now move up the value chain from components to complete line cards/systems, boosting ASP over tenfold. Gross margin targets (>42%) may be revised upward due to high-end product premiums, cost improvements from the wafer transition, and contributions from new high-margin products like CPO and OCS. Its efficient thermadite thermal material also offers long-term growth. Industrial segment revenue grows at a steady 5-10%, supported by semiconductor equipment orders. Changes in Apple's Face ID protocol present a re-competition opportunity for 3D sensing. Overall, Coherent is positioned as a key infrastructure provider, with AI-driven compute demand fueling the need for high-speed optical interconnectivity. Growth from CPO/OCS, stable industrial performance, and margin improvement support the bullish thesis. *Disclaimer: This summary interprets a third-party analyst report from JP Morgan.

After Laying Off 20% of Staff, What Are the Key Points of EF's New Structure?

Following the completion of a months-long organizational restructuring, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) announced a 20% workforce reduction (approximately 54 employees) on June 23rd. It reorganized its teams into five new core clusters: Protocol, Access, User, Community, and Institutional (plus Operations/Management support units). Officially, this move implements the EF's 2026 Mandate and 2025 Treasury Management Policy, aiming to create a more focused and "self-sovereign" organization. The restructuring prioritizes the CROPS principles—Censorship Resistance, Openness & Freedom, Privacy, and Security—as foundational organizational tenets. The Protocol cluster will focus on core protocol R&D, including MEV reduction and zkEVM. The Access cluster emphasizes preserving user "zero option" for non-custodial, permissionless interaction. The User, Community, and Institutional clusters will manage external engagement, with the latter handling institutional and regulatory matters. While offering enhanced severance and transition support for affected employees, the EF did not disclose budget allocations or specific KPIs for the new clusters. This has led to market uncertainty about the impact on project funding and development priorities. Analysts note the announcement's positive tone of mission focus contrasts with a backdrop of recent EF leadership changes and broader ecosystem pressures. The true impact—whether this signifies strategic realignment or reactive contraction—will become clearer as the new structure's resource allocation and project prioritization are revealed in the coming months.
