深潮导读: 曾经在全美便利店遍地开花的加密 ATM,正在监管压力下集体退场。全球最大加密 ATM 运营商 Bitcoin Depot 于 5 月 18 日申请破产保护,旗下约 9700 台机器全部停运。直接原因是各州密集出台的交易限额、牌照暂停和反欺诈诉讼——FBI 数据显示,2025 年消费者通过加密 ATM 被骗走 3.89 亿美元。这篇来自 ICIJ(国际调查记者联盟)的报道,复盘了这家上市公司从扩张到崩塌的全过程。

Bitcoin Depot 曾是全球最大的加密货币 ATM 运营商,5 月 18 日正式申请破产保护。这家长期被指控为诈骗提供便利的公司,给这个行业又添了一记重击。

CEO Alex Holmes 在公司网站上发表声明称,公司旗下约 9700 台加密 ATM 已全部下线,将停止运营。

Holmes 把原因归结为「日益严格的合规要求,包括新的交易限额,以及部分司法管辖区对加密 ATM 的直接限制或禁令」,这些让公司的商业模式变得不可持续。

过去一年,美国各地的地方和州政府大幅收紧了对加密 ATM 的监管。这类机器的功能类似银行 ATM,但用途是将现金兑换为加密货币。由于担心这些机器沦为诈骗工具,监管部门纷纷对运营商展开调查。

FBI 数据显示,2025 年消费者通过加密 ATM 遭遇诈骗损失达 3.89 亿美元。骗子利用这些机器将受害者的资金迅速转移到海外,脱离美国执法部门的追查范围。

半年内遭多州围剿,季度营收暴跌近 50%

作为最大的加密 ATM 运营商,Bitcoin Depot 成了监管的靶心。过去六个月里,打击密集到了什么程度?

康涅狄格州以反洗钱控制不力为由,吊销了 Bitcoin Depot 的银行牌照;密苏里州总检察长对该公司及其他加密 ATM 企业启动调查;内华达州和缅因州与该公司达成执法和解,要求其缴纳罚款并遵守州规则。马萨诸塞州总检察长则直接起诉了 Bitcoin Depot,指控其大部分收入来源于加密诈骗。爱荷华州总检察长办公室也提起了诉讼。

反映到财报上,数字触目惊心。Bitcoin Depot 本月早些时候提交给 SEC 的文件显示,截至 3 月的季度营收同比暴跌近 50%,主要原因就是「各州和市政法规禁止或限制加密 ATM、封顶手续费、限制交易额度」,以及公司自身不得不采取的「更严格的」合规和反欺诈措施,比如加强 KYC(了解你的客户)流程。

今年 2 月,公司宣布所有交易都将要求客户验证身份,这让骗子更难利用这些机器,但也同时劝退了大量用户。

官司缠身,法律费用堆积如山

营收暴跌的同时,Bitcoin Depot 还在背负巨额法律费用。破产文件显示,公司面临多起诉讼,都指向同一个问题:没有采取足够的措施阻止诈骗交易通过其机器发生。除此之外,2025 年底一项与加拿大子公司业务纠纷相关的仲裁裁决,还让公司背上了近 1900 万美元的赔偿。

ICIJ 与 CNN 在 2025 年的联合调查发现,至少 150 万美元的诈骗交易通过安装在 Circle K 便利店内的数百台 Bitcoin Depot 机器完成。Bitcoin Depot 向 Circle K 支付了数百万美元的租赁费用,同时从每笔交易中抽成。

调查发现,Circle K 管理层知道这个问题,但仍然继续与 Bitcoin Depot 合作。

OpenAI's Hyperliquid Pre-IPO Pricing Venture: Why Did It Last Only Half a Year?

The article discusses the rise and fall of Pre-IPO pricing markets on the Hyperliquid blockchain. Trade.xyz, an anonymous team, successfully built the largest pre-market for SpaceX (SPCX) by launching a contract with a clear anchor: the eventual Nasdaq listing price. This provided inherent price stability and validation. In contrast, Ventuals, a team backed by Paradigm, failed despite holding exclusive contracts for highly sought-after companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. Its key mistake was its pricing mechanism. For companies with no near-term IPO date, Ventuals' oracle relied partly on opaque private market transactions and, critically, partly on its own contract's moving average price. This created a self-referential feedback loop where prices were artificially propped up and detached from genuine supply and demand, leading to illiquid markets. Ventuals shut down after nine months, settling positions at final prices of $1,341.80 for OpenAI and $1,618.90 for Anthropic. Ironically, some employees and late-stage investors of these very companies reportedly used these flawed Ventuals prices for valuation reference, highlighting the acute demand for any price signal in illiquid private markets. The article concludes that while demand for pre-IPO trading is real and growing, with players like Coinbase now entering the space, the fundamental challenge remains: without a public listing to provide a definitive price anchor, these markets struggle to establish truly accurate and liquid pricing. The need for a transparent, self-correcting market is the critical lesson from Ventuals' failure.

With Daily Active Users Reaching 3-4 Times That of the Industry's Second Place, Which Crack in the Office Agent Market Has Tencent's WorkBuddy Torn Open?

Tencent's AI office assistant, WorkBuddy, has achieved daily active users (DAU) 3-4 times that of the industry's second-place product, primarily driven by non-technical users like HR, operations, and administrative staff. Its rapid growth, starting with a public beta in March 2026, highlights a key strategic divergence from competitors like OpenAI's Codex and Anthropic's Claude Code. Unlike those tools, which originated as developer-focused assistants (in command lines or IDEs) and are now expanding towards office scenarios, WorkBuddy was built from the ground up for non-technical office workers. Its development was user-driven, initiated after腾讯云's team observed non-technical employees using their CodeBuddy coding tool for general tasks. WorkBuddy's design is defined by three core decisions aimed at lowering barriers: 1) Using natural language instead of technical concepts, so users describe their goal without needing to understand prompts or agents. 2) Providing pre-packaged "Skill" templates for common office tasks like data processing, content creation, and research. 3) Natively integrating into existing腾讯 ecosystems like腾讯 Docs and WeChat, making the agent a seamless part of the user's workflow rather than a separate tool. This "scenario encapsulation" approach, prioritizing the shortest path for users to get work done, contrasts with the "underlying capability" focus of Codex and Claude, which offer more flexibility but require more technical setup. Analysts confirm WorkBuddy's leading market position in China by mid-2026, with massive user and request growth following its launch. Recognizing the same trend of surging non-technical adoption, OpenAI and Anthropic are now pivoting their products with features like role-based plugins (Codex) and a simplified desktop interface (Claude Cowork). However, adapting tools built for developers requires significant changes to interaction models and integrations. WorkBuddy currently holds an estimated six-month lead in delivering a complete solution for non-technical office users. Its recently launched enterprise version aims to solidify this advantage. The competition underscores two valid paths: embedding agent capabilities directly into familiar work environments versus building powerful, general-purpose agents that users must learn to access. WorkBuddy's early success demonstrates the effectiveness of the former strategy for mainstream office adoption.

Bitcoin Mining Farm Transforms into AI Data Center: Sangha's 'Sell-Out' Decision

"Sangha, a cryptocurrency mining company, is considering selling its recently operational Genesis bitcoin mining facility in Texas. Despite being profitable due to low-cost power (approximately $32/MWh), the company is exploring a sale, joint venture, or strategic partnership, advised by Marathon Capital. The core value of the 19.9MW site lies not in the mining hardware but in its established, scalable power infrastructure—a direct connection to a 180MW solar farm with plans to expand to 110.4MW. This makes it an attractive, ready-to-use asset for AI or high-performance computing (HPC) companies seeking to avoid lengthy permitting and grid connection processes. Sangha's move reflects a broader industry trend where mining operators are pivoting towards higher-value AI compute opportunities. The decision represents a strategic shift from building a long-term 'win-win-win' mining model to capitalizing on the current premium demand for AI-ready power and data center infrastructure."

Dalio's Latest Warning: Don't Get Carried Away by AI, Real Returns on US Stocks in the Next 5-10 Years Could Be -5% to -10%

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, warns investors against excessive concentration in AI stocks. He argues the current market, dominated by a few AI giants, mirrors historical patterns where revolutionary new technologies lead to high risk, volatility, and uncertainty. While acknowledging AI's transformative potential, Dalio emphasizes that most investors fail at this stage of the cycle by over-concentrating in a handful of leading companies. He cites inherent risks: companies cannot accurately forecast investment needs or external shocks (e.g., monetary policy, geopolitics, taxes), face potential disruption from future technologies and international competition (notably from China), and experience significant price swings. Dalio's core advice is diversification, calling it his "Holy Grail of Investing." He presents a mathematical case that a well-diversified portfolio of 15-20 uncorrelated, good bets offers a superior risk-adjusted return compared to a concentrated position. Dalio also offers a cautious outlook, suggesting U.S. stocks may deliver real returns of -5% to -10% over the next 5-10 years based on valuation and bubble indicators. He concludes that in the face of high uncertainty, the prudent strategy is not to avoid betting entirely, but to avoid large, concentrated bets where one lacks sufficient informational edge. Instead, investors should build a strategically balanced, diversified portfolio.
