这大半个月市场逻辑逐渐清晰和显现,目前大盘的主线就是以太坊升级合并驱动的反弹行情,具体的升级合并是在9月19日。

日子也是越来越临近,但是要知道合并升级带来的利好,是以牺牲所有以太坊矿工们来完成的。这里面牵扯了太多的利益,每年以太坊矿工们挖出几百万枚的ETH,将近百亿美金的挖矿市场收到毁灭性的打击。

改革是要流血的,以太坊的升级,牺牲的就是PoW机制下的矿工们。当然,需要流血的地方,必然有反抗。以太坊分叉,就是矿工集体们的最后反抗,在大矿工宝二爷,孙哥,薛蛮子等利益集团的号召下,分叉事件愈演愈烈。

目前各大交易所均已表态,静待以太坊分叉事件落地,同时几个小交易所为了抢占先机已经率先将将分叉之后存在两条链的代币ETHS和ETHW均已提前上线。吸引用户使用ETH直接进行兑换,静待分叉完成后,空气变成真金。

到底什么是分叉?

分叉本质上其实是一个价值观的差异以及共识的分歧造成的,社区内的人对工作量证明机制和权益证明机制的巨大纠纷,矿工投入了那么多的显卡算力,当然还想继续产生价值,不想让其报废。

所以他们有动力,有这个意愿去完成以太坊的PoW分叉,希望可以保护矿工的利益,相当于参照之前的历史:BTC、BCH、BSV的玩法,重新又发出一个空气代币印钞。

算是对于他们的一个利益的一个补救,矿工集体们就是以太坊分叉的这一次的主要受益的人。

分叉可能面临的问题

这一次分叉其实从过程上来看他也是有可能失败的,他有哪些难点?比如说它的技术难度,以及去除PoS的逻辑代码,以及拆除以太坊部署的这个难度炸弹,难度炸弹(让挖矿越来越难)是部署上原链上的。

保留这个PoW公链的话,同时还要更新这个链的ID和技术上的一个生态接口,以及挖矿客户端的软件上的一个对接。这都是面对以太坊分叉,这些矿工要解决的一些问题。

另一个就是这条新分叉出来的公链,它需要面临的一个就是接口钱包供应商和交易所。当然这些都是可以克服的,因为矿工的全部算力,理论上都可以来支持这条POW链来进行分叉。

但是结果上,我认为PoW链,注定会走向衰败,类似现在的ETC生态,只有百万不到的TVL。

首先公链之战在整个区块链版图上是最难做的领域,分叉一开始的PoW没有基础设施支持,预言机和稳定币都不支持,也就这条链上,所有原有ETH链上的东西都会得到保留,但是都是没有价值的,只有ETHW。

由于ETHW相关交易对,没有预言机,喂价机制帮助价格锚定,刚分叉完成的时候,可能会出现区块大战,矿工们会抢先完成将空气币兑换成ETHW,同时项目方的网站和后端不支持交互。

等于这是一条只有公链代币ETHW的新公链,要建设一条被主要开发者和资本抛弃的公链,这些矿工集体算是道阻且艰难。

分叉的机会

但不可否认的,这一次分叉也是势在必行的,矿工们目前的主要诉求就是把ETHW这个币弄出来,然后抛向市场,首先这个ETHW相当于糖果,对于目前持有ETH的用户来说,可以白得一份空投。

交易所们也可以直接给用户发福利。聪明的交易所,Gate和Mexc已经提前把糖果代币ETHW代币发出了,你可以直接在交易所将ETH锁定,兑换1:1的ETHS和ETHW,所以这里面就有几个赚钱的机会了。

1.ETH主网存放ETH,套利等待ETHW空投直接兑换获利卖出。

2.ETHS/ETH汇率小于1,可以购入ETHS,分叉后兑换为ETH。

3.ETHS+ETHW=ETH,根据价格汇率大小进行兑换套利。

4.ETHW短期利益相关方为吸引市场眼球,大概率会炒高。

另一个可能要关注的就是,孙宇晨,宝二爷,awsb准备发起以太坊PoW生态黑客松大赛。如果ETHW变成了一条新公链,那么由于完全适用的以太坊环境,可能存在的新公链头矿的机会。

如果背后的利益集团们,格局大一点的话,ETHW可能会有短期的投机。当然,由于这条链是也同样继承了以太坊臃肿的交易速度,并没有性能提升,交互同样耗费很多的gas,用户体验上很难吸引新用户进场参与。

另外就是筹码结构的变化,对于ETHW来说,其主要持有者也就是以太坊的持有者,他们既然选择了PoS,那自然这个ETHW也就成了没有用的小糖果,自然选择抛出获利。

整体来看,这次分叉,是一场矿工们的合谋,最后尽力的补救自己的利益,但是挣扎的结局并不会改变,PoW终成历史。

以太坊迈向新征程,开启新的升级叙事,对于基本面是极大的改善。长期空间继续打开,未来我们重心依旧要关注的还是,二层扩容以及新的增量流动性市场。

ETH2.0升级合并叙事,下半年的主线,具体会走成何种局面,让我们拭目以待。

Trillion-Dollar Pension Fund Entry? Franklin Bitcoin Dividend Reinvestment ETF Comes with a Built-in Selling Pressure Ceiling

Franklin Templeton has filed to launch two ETFs that embed a "default configuration" logic into Bitcoin investment, aiming to tap into massive pension fund flows. These "Bitcoin Dividend Reinvestment Index ETFs" will initially hold 95% equities and 5% Bitcoin, automatically reinvesting stock dividends to buy Bitcoin. However, a quarterly rebalancing rule forces selling of Bitcoin if its allocation exceeds 5%, capping its maximum holding at 20%. While the product cleverly circumvents advisor reluctance and compliance hurdles by labeling itself as a U.S. equity product, its actual Bitcoin buying power is minimal. Given low dividend yields (e.g., ~1% for broad market indices), annual Bitcoin purchases from a fund the size of Franklin's existing Bitcoin ETF would be a mere $3.6 million—negligible against Bitcoin's daily trading volume. Crucially, during bull markets, the fund becomes a programmed, passive *seller* of Bitcoin, potentially creating sustained sell pressure if many similar funds emerge. The strategy leverages investor inertia and automatic enrollment, similar to the success of target-date funds in 401(k) plans. It also uses an offshore Cayman subsidiary for holding Bitcoin and raises a tax complication where investors must pay taxes on dividends they never receive as cash. Although recent U.S. regulatory changes allow crypto in retirement plans, widespread adoption as a default option faces legal hurdles. The core premise remains: the system doesn't need to convince anyone to buy Bitcoin actively; it simply relies on people doing nothing.

Bitcoin Hits 20-Month Low as Largest Bull Suffers $15 Billion Paper Loss

Bitcoin Hits 20-Month Low as Major Bull Loses $15 Billion On June 25th, Bitcoin fell below $60,000, hitting a low of $58,030—its lowest level since October 2024. The sell-off triggered over $1 billion in leveraged liquidations in 24 hours, with longs accounting for $788 million. This marks a more than 53% decline from the October 2025 all-time high of $126,198. A critical factor in the downturn is the weakening position of MicroStrategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder. With 847,363 BTC at an average cost of $75,651, the company now faces over $14.6 billion in unrealized losses. Its core financing flywheel—raising capital to buy Bitcoin—is stalling. Its variable-rate preferred shares (STRC), a key fundraising tool, have fallen 25% below their $100 target. This raises doubts about its ability to continue providing steady institutional demand for Bitcoin. Simultaneously, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs are experiencing significant outflows, with a single-day net outflow of $469 million on June 24th. This represents the most severe sustained capital flight since their launch. The macroeconomic backdrop remains restrictive, with persistent inflation delaying expected Fed rate cuts. Analysts note a shift in capital allocation, with institutional funds moving away from crypto towards AI infrastructure stocks. Immediate pressure comes from approximately $10 billion worth of Bitcoin options expiring on June 26th, which could increase market volatility. The combined effect of these factors—eroding core demand pillars, macro headwinds, and capital rotation—has decisively broken the $60,000 support level.

STRC Falls Below $80, Can Conservative Investors Still Buy the Dip?

The article analyzes whether the STRC (a perpetual preferred stock issued by MicroStrategy) presents a buying opportunity after its price fell below its $100 par value to around $80, offering a seemingly high yield of 13-15%. The core argument is that STRC's discount reflects market skepticism about the sustainability of MicroStrategy's capital structure model, not just temporary panic. This model relies on issuing securities (like STRC) to raise funds to buy more Bitcoin, a "flywheel" that works in a bull market. The recent small sale of BTC to fund dividends, while minor, broke the psychological "never sell" anchor and signaled potential strain. Key risks identified are not a traditional Ponzi collapse but a potential breakdown in the financing narrative: 1) If Bitcoin enters a deep bear market, crushing MicroStrategy's stock premium (mNAV), its ability to raise cheap capital weakens. 2) If STRC remains deeply discounted, it signifies permanently higher funding costs. 3) The high cash dividend yield represents a significant ongoing expense. 4) If selling BTC to pay dividends becomes routine, the bullish narrative reverses. The conclusion is that STRC is not a risk-free high-yield asset. It is a high-coupon bet on whether MicroStrategy's BTC treasury financing model can withstand a bear market. Buying it is a wager that the market will continue to believe in and fund this structure at acceptable costs. The current price asks if this cycle's "casualty" might be a BTC treasury company's融资 model itself.

Why Do Crypto Projects Keep Changing Their Names?

**Why Do Crypto Projects Keep Changing Names?** In the crypto world, changing a project's name is common—over 16% of projects have done so, including major ones like Polygon (formerly Matic Network). This contrasts sharply with traditional businesses, which fiercely protect brand equity. The core reason is that in crypto, brand loyalty is often weak. Users are frequently investors, airdrop hunters, or yield seekers, not traditional consumers. A name associated with price crashes, hacks, or failed narratives becomes a liability, not an asset. Renaming can be a strategic reset to shed this baggage. Name changes serve as a potent marketing tool. They can signal a genuine pivot in strategy or scope (e.g., EthSign dropping "Eth" as it expanded). However, they are often used to "narrative surf," rebranding to align with hot trends like AI, RWA, or the metaverse (e.g., Elrond → MultiversX). Critically, renaming is also a PR tactic to distance a project from past failures like security breaches (e.g., Anyswap → Multichain). The most significant risk emerges when a name change is coupled with a token migration or swap. This process can allow projects to reset exchange price charts, erase visible historical downtrends, and create an illusion of a fresh start. It often facilitates liquidity resets, where low float can be exploited for pumps. More alarmingly, migrations sometimes mask overhauls to tokenomics, introducing substantial new token supply through "ecosystem funds" or "node rewards," effectively diluting existing holders. The fundamental issue isn't renaming itself, which can be valid for strategic evolution. The problem is when it functions as an escape from history—a way to avoid accountability for past mistakes, failed promises, and poor performance. When a project announces a rebrand, the critical questions are: What tangible new capability or strategy does it represent? Has the tokenomics changed? And what part of its past is it most trying to make users forget?

A Trillion-Dollar Entry Point for Pension Funds? Franklin's Bitcoin Dividend Reinvestment ETFs Come with a Built-In Selling Pressure Ceiling

Franklin Templeton filed for two ETFs on June 18 that embed a "default option" logic into Bitcoin investing. These funds—the Franklin US Equity Bitcoin Dividend Reinvestment Index ETF and the Franklin US Innovative Equity Bitcoin Dividend Reinvestment Index ETF—aim to automatically allocate a portion of investor dividends to Bitcoin, initially with a 95% stock and 5% Bitcoin allocation. The mechanism is designed for financial advisors, not retail investors. By packaging Bitcoin exposure within a standard equity fund label, advisors can bypass internal compliance restrictions against direct cryptocurrency allocation for their clients. Dividends from the stock holdings are automatically used to buy Bitcoin via spot ETFs, futures, or options. However, the structure imposes strict rebalancing rules: if Bitcoin's allocation exceeds 5%, it is trimmed back to 4.5% quarterly, with a hard cap of 20%. This means the fund becomes a systematic seller during Bitcoin price rallies. Realistically, the potential buying pressure is minimal. Based on dividend yields (approximately 1.05% for broad market, 0.52% for innovative equity), the annual inflow into Bitcoin would be a tiny fraction of the fund's assets. For comparison, Franklin's existing Bitcoin ETF ($359 million AUM) would generate only about $3.6 million in annual Bitcoin purchases—negligible against Bitcoin's daily trading volume. The innovative equity fund, heavily weighted in low-dividend stocks like Nvidia, would have even weaker buying power. The product utilizes an offshore Cayman subsidiary to hold Bitcoin, a common compliance tactic for commodity exposure in mutual funds. A key drawback for investors is the tax liability: they must pay taxes on dividends that are automatically converted into Bitcoin, requiring out-of-pocket cash for a gain they never directly receive. For the strategy to scale significantly, such funds would need to become a default or near-default option in retirement plans like 401(k)s. Recent regulatory moves, including a Trump executive order and a Department of Labor proposal offering fiduciary safe harbors for including crypto assets, could pave the way. However, widespread employer adoption likely awaits further legal clarity. Ultimately, the fund's model leverages investor inertia and automated systems, rather than convincing anyone to actively choose Bitcoin. While it creates a new, albeit small, structural buyer, its rebalancing rules also establish a built-in "selling ceiling" that could dampen price upside if similar products proliferate.
