在过去的一年里,加密行业经历了重大转变。

在监管方面,国会在《GENIUS法案》/稳定币的明确规则方面取得了重大进展。白宫成立了数字资产市场工作组,该工作组与众多行业参与者会面,并努力为他们提供清晰的指引。美国证券交易委员会宣布了“加密计划”,旨在通过探索如何在金融市场中将更广泛的资产代币化等举措,将美国打造为加密货币之都。

加密货币建设者也取得了显著进步。目前已有多个大型且流动性强的预测市场(以及一些即将推出的新市场)。稳定币的供应量和使用量都达到了历史最高水平,持有这些资产的人数(遍布更多地区)比以往任何时候都多。许多链上协议的收入达到了八到九位数。其中一些协议还充当着开发者平台的角色,拥有强大的初创企业生态系统(这些初创企业也在盈利)。可以说,现在是加密货币建设者的最佳时机。

数字资产的可服务总市场(TAM)如今是史上最大,也将是此后最小的一次。现在尤其如此。以下是原作者整理的一些最期待的创业方向。

一、稳定币支持的市场

目前关于稳定币的讨论大多集中在其支付领域。但从历史上看,对稳定币有需求的新兴市场实际上在推动稳定币的采用和增长方面发挥了更大的作用。亚洲加密货币交易所的增长是 Tether 崛起的主要推动力:交易者不再将加密货币利润兑换成当地法币,而是将 USDT 存放在交易所作为价值储存手段。同样,2020 年 DeFi 的繁荣也帮助 USDC 找到了立足点,因为它提供了对数字美元有需求的新场所。

目前,流通中的稳定币价值近3000亿美元。人们对使用它们进行支付有着浓厚的兴趣。但不可否认的是,支付领域很大程度上是现有企业的制胜之道,现有的分销渠道和基础设施让现有的金融科技公司相对于新兴初创企业更具优势。

我正在寻找由稳定币赋能或创造的全新市场。我们有两项符合这一主题的隐形投资。一项是致力于打造基础设施,让所有稳定币对最终用户而言都具有可互换性。另一项是构建本地流动性市场。

稳定币市场有哪些具体的例子?以下是三个例子:

1. 需要即时资金的新型杠杆工具。稳定币可以全天候流通,这意味着用户可以立即向其账户存入更多抵押品(而在传统模式下,交易所可能需要在等待电汇时预先向保证金账户注资)。

2. 公司对公司借贷。我认为,未来许多公司会将部分现金(及现金等价物)以稳定币的形式持有。稳定币可以全天候(24/7)流动,而通过传统渠道转移资金可能需要数天时间,并且会产生材料成本。将现金持有在稳定币中,可以让公司以更广泛、更具创意的方式从这些资产中赚取收益——例如参与短期资本市场(例如隔夜回购市场)或链上流动性供应。

3. 全球彩票。加密货币为全球各地接受、汇总和分配资金提供了通道。稳定币不仅有助于扩大彩票规模,其可编程性也意味着彩票存款和收益可以以更有趣、更刺激的方式使用。

稳定币支持的市场可以出现在 a) 任何使用稳定币作为至少一种交易手段的地方;b) 围绕稳定币持有的大量(闲置)资本池构建的产品;c) 使用稳定币从全球规模中获益的市场。

二、二阶预测市场机会

目前已有多个大型且不断发展的预测市场平台,另有一系列平台将于今年秋季上线。市场交易量全年保持强劲,驳斥了那些声称预测市场仅在选举季才存在预测市场波动的批评者。

这种模式为创始人在预测市场内部或周边创建了更多新机会——这些机会可以利用新的市场流动性、更广阔的用户分布、市场平台的碎片化等等。以下是我特别希望看到的产品。

1. 条件投注。过关投注在体育博彩中很常见。它们在预测市场中很难构建,因为参与者是与其他对手而不是庄家对赌。区别在于,投注者是与多个不同的对手方而不是单个对手方(庄家)对赌。因此,如果过关投注失败,不仅更难平仓,而且定价/控制总体风险也更具挑战性。

一种解决方案可能是让用户实际上只与一方对赌。例如,可以设想一个第三方服务在开放预测市场之上出现/建立,其运作方式类似于庄家。该服务将利用预测市场的流动性来构建赔率并提供联赢投注。它可以跨平台运行,并接受第三方流动性来支持其策略(类似于 Hyperliquid 的 HLP)。如果联赢投注关注的是比特币的价格走势等因素,那么该服务还可以使用其他机制来对冲整体风险。

2. 押注用户的能力。Polymarket等平台的一大特色是排行榜。它根据盈亏和交易量对交易员进行排名,并允许第三方探索这些超级用户持有的仓位。假设我相信某位交易员会做得很好——我的赌注是这位交易员的投注表现会很好。目前,我主要通过手动跟单该用户来增加对该投注的曝光度。不过,未来的产品形式可以让像我这样的用户将资金存入一个资金池,供专业交易员进行投注。当人们开始思考人工智能代理在市场中投注时,这个设计空间会变得更加令人兴奋——以及人类可以以不同的方式汇集资金并为这些代理提供信息/反馈。

流动性、兴趣以及支持预测市场的平台的增长,还带来了许多其他类型的二阶机会。杠杆、市场规模的敞口以及市场受欢迎程度的敞口(就参与用户而言)都是值得关注的领域。

三、代币化股权协调者

我们正处于股权代币化的早期阶段。一系列架构正在涌现,这一点正变得越来越清晰。

有些产品,例如 Robinhood 的股票代币,其设计的唯一目的是提供对现实世界股票的价格敞口。这些工具完全是合成的:它们通过一系列结构化衍生品追踪价格走势,而无需托管实际股票。

其他产品,例如 BackedFi 的 xStocks,会托管目标股票并创建其数字表示(类似于稳定币发行者托管法定美元并创建这些资产的代币化包装)。这些产品既提供了与资产价格更直接/更安全的挂钩,也提供了赎回标的股票的能力。

最后,还有更多原生的链上股票。上周,Superstate 宣布已在链上直接发行 Galaxy Digital 普通股——这是一种与传统股票享有同等权利和收益的代币化资产。

这些都是代币化股票的各种构造。目前尚不清楚哪种结构会成为幂律赢家。消费者可能会在不了解完整构造的情况下使用其中许多工具。因此,平台将负责选择/列出不同的代币。我猜测,流动性和合规性将成为上市的主要因素,但只要多种代币化股票构造符合界面的标准,就可以在底层集成多种构造。我们很容易最终陷入这样一个世界:一个界面提供 BackedFi 的 xAPPL,但提供 Superstate 发行的 GLXY,因为每个过户代理都为各自的股票提供了流动性最高的链上市场。而对消费者来说,它们应该看起来都像股票一样。

类似的模式也出现在稳定币领域。市面上有许多不同的稳定币,旨在替代美元,但它们并非都具有互换性。因此,出现了一些网络来协调不同的稳定币,让最终用户感觉就像在用美元进行交易。现在有机会为代币化股票构建类似类型的基础设施,尤其是在该类别持续增长和演变的情况下。

四、下一个大类别:在线赚钱的新方式

今年夏天,我听到的最令人震惊、反复出现的主题之一,就是有多少大学毕业生在苦苦挣扎找工作。我原本以为,再过几年,人工智能就会蚕食一些更复杂的入门级工作。结果,我错了。

因此,我认为未来几年人们的时间分配方式将发生巨大变化。其次,人们将拥有更多空闲时间,并更渴望通过创造性手段赚钱。这可能体现在很多方面:更多人参与金融市场,娱乐业金融化,人们可以在线创作和赚钱的内容类型不断扩展,等等。

加密货币为构建此类产品和服务提供了一些最实用的轨道。它提供了廉价的全球货币轨道,这意味着潜在客户群几乎是无限的。任何年龄的任何人,只要有钱包和网络连接,就可以构建并赚取收益。

Variant 投资组合中有许多符合这些主题的公司。Zora 为创作者提供了新的工具来实现媒体变现。Remix 帮助各年龄段的玩家创作、发行游戏并实现变现。The Clearing Co 正在致力于构建和扩展可供交易的市场。

帮助人们在线赚钱的新型产品和服务的设计空间十分广阔。赚钱——无论是通过内容、创意、投资、娱乐还是其他方式——一直是一个杀手级的用例,而加密货币提供了一些帮助人们实现这一目标的最佳途径。
