深度解析Etherealize:以太坊的“第二个基金会”如何拿下华尔街?

marsbitPublished on 2025-09-07Last updated on 2025-09-08

近期,有着“第二个以太坊基金会”之称的Etherealize宣布完成了由顶级风投Electric Capital 和 Paradigm 领投领投的4000万美元融资。自2024年成立以来,这家由Vitalik Buterin和以太坊基金会助推成立的初创公司,以强大的团队背景和以太坊生态紧密的关系引发了市场的关注。

这究竟是一家什么样的公司?又将如何完成其自称的“用以太坊重塑华尔街”的使命?


第二个以太坊基金会还是以太坊招商中心

Etherealize成立于2024年,其定位不仅是一家技术初创企业,更是整个以太坊生态的一次战略尝试。Etherealize由以太坊创始人Vitalik Buterin和以太坊基金会共同出资启动,从诞生起就与以太坊生态强绑定。这一点在名字上也有所体现,Etherealize是Ether和Realize的组合,有着实现以太坊目标和梦想的寓意。

Etherealize的官方愿景定位为“用以太坊重塑华尔街”,这种背景与目标也远超一个普通的生态创业公司。因此,Etherealize在诞生之初就被戏称为“第二个以太坊基金会”。

在团队背景方面则更是嫡系部队,今年3月份Danny Ryan以联合创始人兼总裁的身份加入Etherealize,Danny曾任以太坊基金会首席研究员,是以太坊“合并”升级的关键领导者,在社区内享有极高声望 。Vitalik也为其加入点赞欢迎。

在Etherealize之前,以太坊基金会正因过于专注于技术研发而缺乏有效市场营销手段备受争议,而彼时Solana等公链则无论是在生态活跃度还是代币市场表现方面都远超以太坊。然而,受困于基金会中立的角色和以太坊生态奉去中心化精神为圭臬的价值观,以太坊基金会始终未能作出积极调整。

在此背景下,以一个第三方独立企业开展针对以太坊生态的营销和市场推动则成为最优解。Etherealize应运而生。

从角色定位上来看,Etherealize主要的目标就是通过产品开发、机构销售、市场教育和政策游说等手段加速打通以太坊与华尔街等传统金融机构之间的桥梁。更像是整个以太坊生态的“商务拓展部门”。

从成员的配置上,Etherealize也算是体现了这一愿景。除了以太坊生态熟知的 Danny Ryan之外,Etherealize的CEO Vivek Raman 拥有超过十年的华尔街从业经验,曾在摩根士丹利、瑞银、德意志银行等顶级投行担任固定收益交易员 。另一位联合创始人Zach Obront 是一位顶级的安全研究员和零知识技术工程师,曾致力于为华尔街机构构建完全私密的场外交易(OTC)解决方案。

以RWA打开华尔街资本市场

截至目前,Etherealize 尚未公开发布任何已成型的商业产品。其在9月完成的4000万美元融资,主要目的就是为了加速其机构级基础设施的开发。不过,从官方所公布的三大产品路线和过往的运营成果我们或许也能解读出Etherealize接下来的运营思路。

Etherealize在产品上主要有三个主要方向:

1、升级市场 (Upgrading Markets):简单来说,就是资产代币化,通俗地理解为帮助华尔街在以太坊上发行和管理现实世界资产(RWA)。Etherealize 计划将“最低效的机构资产类别上链”,特别是抵押贷款、信贷和其他固定收益产品 。他们正在开发的技术,旨在让金融机构能够将这些现实资产转化为可以在以太坊网络上高效交易的“数字凭证”,并进行可靠的管理和结算 。

2、自动化基础设施 (Automating Infrastructure):构建现代化结算引擎,针对传统金融市场的交易结算通常需要一到两天(T+1或T+2)以及限时交易的弊端。Etherealize 正在构建一个“为机构工作流程而设的结算引擎”,目标是实现“自动化执行和即时结算,同时不影响合规性” 。通过利用以太坊(特别是其第二层网络L2)的技术,这个引擎可以提供7x24小时不间断的、近乎实时的结算服务,从而显著提高机构的资本效率。

3、嵌入隐私 (Embedding Privacy):可定制的零知识环境。隐私是机构采纳公共区块链的最大顾虑。为此,Etherealize表示正在利用尖端的“零知识证明”(ZK)技术,构建一个“可定制的隐私环境” 。这项技术允许在不泄露任何交易细节(如买卖双方、金额等敏感信息)的情况下,在链上验证交易的合规性。这或许是为了解决机构在追求交易效率的同时保护商业机密的核心需求 。

Etherealize

除了上述的三个产品路线之外,Etherealize在产品开发之余也没“闲着”,一方面他们会出品一些关于以太坊生态的深度研究报告,例如6月的报告《以太坊的牛市案例》,将ETH比作驱动数字经济的数字石油。或者发布文章和观点认为ETH将达到8万美元等主导叙事的方式为与华尔街建立合作做铺垫。

另一方面,Etherealize还代表以太坊生态与监管机构进行沟通,CEO Vivek Raman 曾代表以太坊生态,就《CLARITY法案》在美国众议院金融服务委员会作证 。此外,公司还主动向美国证券交易委员会(SEC)的加密任务组提交书面意见,倡导更新监管规则以承认区块链作为主要的记录保存系统 。

总体来看,Etherealize似乎也是以太坊生态对外的大使,一方面拓展与华尔街的合作机会,另一方面在促进生态的种种事项中积极推动。

以太坊生态的造血机?

虽然Etherealize的发挥成果仍未集中体现,不过从其关键的生态位和现有的运营方向上,我们或许能看到一些Etherealize在未来可能对生态带来的影响。

第一个方面,也是最直接的角度就是推动RWA业务在以太坊生态上的继续扩张。虽然目前以太坊已经是RWA领域的第一公链。但从体量和叙事上来看,RWA的发展仍在初期阶段,现阶段仍面临着资产类型单一、链上资产流通性不足、入场门槛较高等多重阻碍。Etherealize作为有着以太坊官方背景的商务代表,有着较强的技术优势和资源统筹能力,有较大可能为以太坊生态引入更多传统金融资产。

一旦这个目标按预期推进,一方面能够为以太坊生态带来更多链上实际资产,另一方面也能推动以太坊生态的原生资产的使用,增强生态的活跃度。

第二个方面,则是与当前火热的DAT叙事(上市公司加密财库策略)相关,与RWA业务一样,主要的客户群体都是上市公司。因此对Etherealize来说,与上市公司推进加密财库策略的业务也算水到渠成。一个明确的案例是,Etherealize正在为 ETHZilla(一家计划转型为以太坊财库储备的上市公司)担任“DeFi委员会”成员,直接为其如何利用ETH财库资产产生收益提供专业建议 。

第三个方面,则是对生态的更深远的潜在影响。一旦Etherealize推进了上述两个业务实际进展。将间接助推以太坊L2的发展,尤其是在传统金融机构对性能需求和隐私需求方面。另外,对以太坊现阶段最重要的业务领域DeFi生态,也将带来更多的机构级玩家。

不过,Etherealize的宏大愿景背后,也存在较多的阻力和竞争压力。

一方面,现有市场上,机构对加密公链的视野已经不再局限在以太坊生态,包括Solana、Sui在内的多个L1都有传统金融机构的青睐,且他们从技术特性上本就具备更好的性能能力。

另一方面,愿景与实现之间的进度推进上,存在很长的实现路径。从创立至今,Etherealize已经发展了多半年的时间。却仍未展示出任何成熟产品雏形或是达成与某个大型传统金融机构的合作。现阶段的运营内容仍局限在报告或观点输出上,这样的进度与日益变化的市场多少有些不匹配。

不过,越大的目标往往要付出更多的精力和时间。对Etherealize来说,现阶段仍处于一个极其初期的阶段,未来是否能够顺利实现愿景并带领以太坊生态成为Web3时代的基建,仍有待时间的考验。

13F Reveals New Signal: AI Has Not Faded, Wall Street Is Just Getting 'Pickier'

Title: 13F New Signal: AI Is Not Receding, Wall Street Just Became "Selective" Analysis of 13F filings from the second quarter of 2026, which disclose institutional holdings, reveals a key trend: the AI investment theme persists, but Wall Street is now scrutinizing opportunities more selectively rather than chasing the sector broadly. While nearly 44% of the 6,371 institutions analyzed reduced holdings in the "Magnificent Seven" tech giants, semiconductors saw net buying from 48% of institutions. This indicates the core AI infrastructure thesis remains intact. However, significant internal shifts are occurring as major funds prioritize "risk-reward" or "betting odds" over simple sector exposure. Four prominent investors exemplify this new selectivity: 1. **Berkshire Hathaway** made a major new bet on Alphabet, valuing its strong cash flow and core businesses despite AI-related uncertainties. 2. **Tiger Global** reduced crowded mega-cap tech positions (e.g., Alphabet, NVIDIA) but increased exposure to other AI-related names like AMD and semiconductor manufacturing, rebalancing within the theme. 3. **Third Point** fully exited several first-wave AI winners (NVIDIA, Broadcom) to lock in gains, reallocating to names like Alphabet and Taiwan Semiconductor, and diversifying into media and industrials. 4. **Duquesne Family Office** (Stanley Druckenmiller) also sold some semiconductor holdings while buying others (e.g., Taiwan Semiconductor), focusing on individual companies' valuation and expectation gaps rather than the sector beta. Key conclusions from the filings: * **Alphabet is becoming a "divisive asset"** with significant institutional disagreement, representing a potential source of alpha. * The **"buy any chip stock" phase is over**. Semiconductor investing is now an alpha game, requiring stock-specific analysis over blanket sector bets. * **Non-AI assets are reappearing** in portfolios (e.g., airlines, homebuilders, media) as diversification and correlation-management tools. In summary, the AI investment cycle has not ended, but the phase of easy, broad-based gains is concluding. The next phase will be defined by selective stock-picking and precise calculation of risk versus reward within the AI ecosystem.

Bitcoin 'Whale Investors' Increase Their Holdings by 43,000 BTC, Ending a Months-Long Selling Wave

Large Bitcoin holders, defined as non-exchange and non-mining pool wallets, have accumulated approximately 43,000 BTC (worth around $2.9 billion) over the past 60 days. This marks a significant reversal from a several-month period where this same group were net sellers, contributing to downward pressure on Bitcoin's price following its October 2025 all-time high. The accumulation began when Bitcoin fell to around $60,000, a level that seemingly attracted large holders who had stayed on the sidelines during the sharper phase of the decline. Bitcoin has since recovered to trade in a narrower range between $62,000 and $65,000. This renewed demand is not limited to the largest "whale" wallets. Balances of so-called "dolphin" holders also increased in the same period, indicating a broader accumulation trend beyond just a handful of mega-wallets. This activity occurs against a backdrop of declining overall market activity, with August spot trading volumes hitting their lowest monthly level since August 2021, meaning the whale purchases represent a disproportionately large share of total market activity. This buying shift contrasts with the dominant selling trend seen for much of 2026 from other major entities. Looking ahead, a key factor to watch is whether this large-investor activity persists as Bitcoin approaches the upper bound of its recent $62k-$65k trading range.

Bitcoin (BTC) Enters a Bear Market, BlackRock Remains Optimistic! Here's Why and the Latest Statements

Bitcoin (BTC) has entered a bear market since October 2025, dropping over 50% from its all-time high of $126,000 to test support at $57,000. It is currently trading sideways around $63,000. In its latest analysis, asset management giant BlackRock stated that this severe correction does not invalidate the long-term investment case for the leading cryptocurrency. BlackRock attributes the decline primarily to market deleveraging, position shifts, capital rotation from Bitcoin into AI investments, weakening capital inflows, and a slowdown in digital asset purchases. It highlighted that open cryptocurrency futures positions exceeding $90 billion, with about 80% being perpetual futures outside the CME, were a significant contributor to the downturn. Additional selling pressure came from digital asset management firms and large Bitcoin holders, alongside net outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs. Despite these challenges, BlackRock maintains its long-term bullish stance on Bitcoin. The firm reiterates that Bitcoin's limited supply and its potential to behave differently from traditional financial assets make it a viable tool for portfolio diversification and a potential hedge against fiat currency depreciation. BlackRock concludes that the sharp correction signals a market rebalancing of leverage and capital flows rather than a breakdown of Bitcoin's fundamental investment thesis.
