Abstract

在2026年6月的VIP活动中，前贝莱德数字资产负责人、现Sharplink CEO Joseph Chalom发表了题为“金融市场的未来转型”的演讲，将其核心思想概括为“信任的工业化”。 Chalom指出，当前社会正处于“信任破裂”的Web2.5阶段，信息与身份的真实性难以保障。在传统金融体系中，建立和维护信任的成本极高，仅美国每年就耗费超过9.3万亿美元，且交易结算缓慢、系统碎片化。 他预测，未来将转向一个基于区块链和AI的新体系。以太坊凭借其超过100万个验证节点、十余年零宕机的记录以及巨大的链上资产规模，正在成为全球金融的“信任结算层”，为交易提供不可逆的最终确认。 这场转型由三大支柱加速驱动： 1. **稳定币**：将从进入加密市场的桥梁，演变为企业跨境支付和个人薪酬发放的高效轨道。 2. **代币化资产**：全球主要交易所和结算机构（如DTCC）正推动资产全天候交易，将引发自上世纪70年代以来的最大规模金融数字化变革。 3. **DeFi（去中心化金融）**：提供自动化、全天候的链上金融服务。 Chalom特别提出了可能改变游戏规则的**第四支柱——智能体金融（Agentic Finance）**。AI智能体将利用可编程的稳定币和智能合约，自主执行支付、投资等操作。他预计，到2027年底，每个人都可能拥有一个如“装在口袋里的CFO”般的AI数字分身，它能智能管理闲置资金、优化资产配置，实现“智能体对智能体”的高效交易。波士顿咨询集团估算，此类链上交易量可能在一年内增长千倍。 总之，金融业正迈向一个由以太坊结算层提供底层信任、由稳定币、代币化资产、DeFi及AI智能体共同重塑的全天候、可编程、高效率的未来。

一、我的机构与加密之旅:从 BlackRock 到 Sharplink

今天的主题是"金融市场的未来转型",但如果让我换一个标题,我会叫它"信任的工业化"。我想先给大家一些背景信息——简单讲一讲我的职业经历——再聊聊我对未来的展望。

我大概是在座年纪最大的人了。我是 Sharplink 的 CEO,这是一家上市公司。但在那之前,我在纽约一家叫贝莱德(BlackRock)的大型金融服务公司做了 20 年高管——贝莱德是全球最大的资产管理公司。

头 12 年,我参与打造了 Aladdin 平台——这个技术平台如今为买方机构(养老基金、资产管理公司等)大约 50 万亿美元的资产提供风险管理服务。最近这六年左右,大概从 2018 年到 2025 年,我带领一个团队,花了好几年时间去研究:资产管理公司在加密领域可以扮演什么角色——也就是成为传统金融与加密行业之间的桥梁。

一开始得到的答案是"不行"——这个行业当时还达不到我们客户所期望的标准。但最终我们还是启动了这个战略,做了一些非常有意思的事情:

  • 我们在 2024 年推出了比特币 ETF 和以太坊 ETF——这是美国首批此类产品。我们与监管机构沟通、对监管机构进行普及教育,这些产品后来成为全球规模最大的加密 ETF,募资规模约 1000 亿美元,让机构投资者能够更平等地参与数字资产投资。
  • 我们还推出了贝莱德首个代币化基金——BUIDL,这个名字挺傻的,不是我起的。我们也不是第一家做这件事的,富兰克林邓普顿(Franklin Templeton)在我们之前就推出过代币化货币市场基金。但我们这只基金是原生部署在以太坊上推出的(后来又扩展到了其他几条链)。我们让客户想持有稳定币时可以持有稳定币,但又能——即便在半夜——瞬间转入这只代币化国债基金。这只基金募集了约 26 亿美元,是目前全球最大的代币化基金。规模第二大的将是贝莱德正在推出的另一只基金,背后将有约 80 亿美元的现有货币市场资产作为支撑。
  • 我们还对 Circle 进行了大额投资,并成为 USDC 稳定币储备资产的管理方——为这个全球领先的、受监管的稳定币管理约 750 亿美元的储备资产。

我的从业经验比较丰富,年纪也大一些了,所以让我跟大家分享一下我对未来的一些看法。

先说一下背景:Sharplink 是第一家围绕"非比特币代币"建立数字资产资金库(treasury)的公司。我们是第一家以以太坊为核心的公司,目前持有第二大的公开 ETH 仓位——略高于 20 亿美元。我的朋友 Tom Lee 在 BitMine 持有的仓位比我们更大,我们和他在"让生态系统更强大"这一点上利益是一致的。我们对资金库进行主动管理,从第一天起就参与 DeFi。到今年年底,我们将把约 3.25 亿美元的 ETH 配置到 DeFi 协议中,以支持这个生态系统。我们正经历一场真正的转变。

二、信任正在崩溃:从 Web1 到"Web2.5"

在谈未来之前,我想先谈谈过去。我们正处在一个"信任正在破裂"的时刻——这种破裂部分是由 AI 造成的——而它最终也将由 AI 和区块链共同来修复。

让我们回到 Web1 的时代:它基本上把全世界的信息统一了起来——你可以找到信息,它把全人类连接在了一起。Web3 的承诺是:信息可验证、真实可信,身份清晰明确,并且能够安全地、有经济保障地转移资金。但我们还没有到那一步。我们现在还不在 Web3——我们今天处在所谓的"Web2.5"阶段。在大多数社会中——我就拿美国来说——你没办法相信呈现在你面前的信息。社交媒体把信息当作武器在使用。我不会相信任何在网上联系我的人的身份是真实的,我也不会相信世界上任何一家软件公司——包括 Anthropic——的代码能够保证完全没有漏洞。

这听起来很糟糕,对吧?但不是的——我们正处在通往未来的临界点上。只是我们现在还无法完全信任信息而已。

三、传统金融的"信任成本":每年 9.3 万亿美元

那么,即将到来的变革是什么呢?我们先从金融服务行业说起。仅在美国——因为人们在经济交易中互相不信任——这个行业每年要在"人为建立的信任"上花费超过 9.3 万亿美元:合同、保险、交易对手风险管理等等。这些都是被浪费掉的资本。

为什么呢?因为交易结算需要 1 到 3 天——美国差不多是当天,香港是两天,东南亚大部分地区则需要长达三天。你必须相信你的交易对手到那时候真的会履约交割——而且那时候它依然存在。正因如此,全世界出现了超过 100 万个相互独立、彼此割裂的数据库,每个都要单独维护,每天都需要进行无穷无尽的对账:我的现金在哪里?我的股票在哪里?我的持仓在哪里?这个体系既慢又分散,并不是一个良好的经济系统。美国交易体系背后的技术,大部分都是过去 40 年里建立起来的。

四、基础设施重写:从"早九晚四"到 24/7 代币化资产

我们正在脱离这样一个碎片化的体系——人们只能在早上 9 点半到下午 4 点之间交易,而如果美国总统在某个周五晚上宣布开战,你想卖出你的股票,却只能等到周一上午 9 点才能操作。大家听清楚我刚才说的话了吗?如果总统在那时候宣布开战,那个周末你唯一能卖出的资产就是加密资产——代币化的股票、代币化的贵金属、代币化的资产以及期货。

这就是未来的方向。我们将拥有全天候、全年无休(24x7)的代币化资产。你将能够和别人之间交易"可编程货币"。资产将在去中心化的区块链上即时转移和结算——不存在信任问题。这就是我所说的:AI 负责验证身份和事实,而区块链负责提供最终的结算确认。

五、以太坊:全球金融的"信任结算层"

但这需要时间。在资本市场上,以太坊正在引领这一变革,成为金融交易的结算层——你可以把它称为"信任软件(trustware)",或者说"证明层",它能确认交易是真实的、身份是真实的,因为在 Web3 中,一旦交易完成,就是不可逆的。如今,以太坊拥有超过 100 万个验证节点,分布在 84 个国家,10 多年来零宕机——它是迄今为止经过最严苛考验的金融基础设施。以太坊及其 Layer 2 网络所保障的流动性资产规模,也超过其最接近的竞争者的 10 倍以上,目前以太坊保障着超过 3000 亿美元的链上资产,全球超过 65%的稳定币和代币化资产都安全保存并在以太坊上完成交易。

当你在金融服务行业干了 20 年,你会犯很多错误——但如果运气好,你也会在这个过程中积累一些经验和智慧。我可以告诉大家:大多数传统金融人士都希望在被信任的平台上工作,这些平台不会宕机、并且足够安全。市场上确实有其他更快、更便宜的公链,但它们会宕机,缺乏经济安全性,也没有全球最大机构所需要的那种流动性 profile。

这就是像以太币(ether)这样的资产发挥作用的地方——它是这条网络的原生代币,你可以通过质押它来帮助保障网络的安全。这一点有点难解释:一方面,它是一种价值存储手段;另一方面,你可以质押它来保障交易安全、验证区块,并因此获得收益——这一点不同于比特币,比特币本身是不产生收益的(像 Michael Saylor 这样的人,必须通过给 MicroStrategy 加杠杆,才能在比特币上获得回报)。质押的 ETH 能产生接近 10%的收益,质押的 ETH 越多,网络的经济安全性就越强。我们把自己持有的 ETH100%都拿去做了质押,以增强这种安全性。

六、加速到来的三大支柱:稳定币、代币化资产与 DeFi

用一个棒球的比喻来说:在美国,一场棒球比赛打九局。我认为我们现在大概处在第二局。尽管加密行业已经是一个有 16、17 年历史的行业了,但我们正处在一种我称之为"阶跃式(step-function)"变化的前夜。比尔·盖茨有一句很经典的话——人们往往会高估一年内能发生的变化,却严重低估十年内会发生的变化。而这正是这个十年剩下的时间里将要发生的事情。

稳定币(Stablecoins): 目前市面上的稳定币总量大约为 3300 亿美元,其中约 99.75%是美元计价的。欧洲也有一小部分;香港刚刚批准了相关监管框架,韩国也即将跟进。最初,稳定币基本上只有一种用途——"我想参与加密市场,但我的美元资金没法直接进去,所以我需要一个稳定币作为桥梁。"但这种情况正在改变。稳定币将会成为一条跨境支付的轨道。企业将用它在成千上万个子公司之间转移资金;个人也将能够即时、几乎免费地实现跨境资金转移。你一两年内拿到的工资,可能就会以稳定币的形式发放——高效、快速、几乎不收费。

代币化资产(Tokenized Assets): 资产代币化大约始于八年前,但八年过去了,目前的代币化资产总规模也才大约 350 亿美元——这有点令人难以置信。我认为全球最大的那些机构正准备彻底改变这一局面。今年已经有四项公告,是放在几年前根本无法想象的。纽约证券交易所和纳斯达克——全球两大交易所——都正朝着每天 23 小时、每周 7 天交易的方向迈进,这样代币化资产就可以全天候自由交易。还有 DTCC——大家可能都没听过这家机构,但它是全球最大的证券结算与清算机构——每年处理的交易金额规模大约达到15 千万亿美元(quadrillion)这个级别。他们目前正在监管机构许可下,针对 DeFi 式的模式开展试点——也就是借贷、互换这类操作,大多基于以太坊——这将改变中心化交易场所的运作方式,以及资金运作的方式,因为稳定币的用途会更多、代币化资产会更多、可交易的东西也会更多。

我认为,在未来几年内,这将不再是一场关于"加密"的对话——我们甚至都不会再用"crypto"这个词了。金融行业将经历一次数字化变革,其规模将达到自上世纪 70 年代股票从纸质转向电子化以来从未有过的程度。

DeFi(第三支柱): 一年前,我会说推动这场变革的三大支柱分别是:稳定币、代币化资产,以及 DeFi——这些去中心化协议如今已经在链上提供自动化的交易、借贷和流动性服务,全天候开放、随时可访问,目前流经 DeFi 协议的资金规模已超过 2000 亿美元。

七、第四支柱:Agentic Finance(智能体金融)

我认为,真正可能永久改变游戏规则的力量是"智能体金融(Agentic Finance)"。AI 智能体如今已经在自主进行交易了——执行支付、进行投资、自主完成投资组合操作。它们真正需要的是"可编程结算":稳定币加上智能合约,让资金能够在条件满足时自动执行——不需要银行账户、不需要电汇、不需要中间商。相关标准已经在涌现——比如 X402,它定义了机器可读的支付协议;以及 ERC-8004,它让智能体能够进行可编程、有权限控制的金融操作。

在座有多少人拥有"智能钱包(smart wallet)"?应该很少吧?目前全球大概有 8 亿个这样的钱包存在。我设想,很快每一个有证券账户的人,都会同时拥有一个数字"分身"钱包——由受监管的智能体、在受监管的公司内运营——也就是你自己的数字分身,一个理解你的目标、风险承受能力和资产状况的 AI 智能体,能够帮你完成今天散户投资者很难自己做到的事情。

我想说的是,大概到 2027 年底,在座的每一个人,实质上都会拥有一个"装在口袋里的 CFO"。它会扫描你所有账户中那些没有获得应有利息的闲置资金,并把它们转移到收益更高的账户中。如果你以代币化的形式持有像 SpaceX 或特斯拉这样的资产,它会像大型机构那样操作:把这些持仓放到链上、借出去,把产生的收益返还给你,并据此重新调整你的投资组合配置。你的 AI 智能体会成为你自己的一个映射,帮助你获得更好的投资结果。

波士顿咨询集团(BCG)有一项估算认为,大约一年之内,链上交易的数量可能会达到目前水平的约 1000 倍——这些将是"智能体对智能体"之间遵循规则和准则进行的交易,以一种今天几乎不可能实现的方式来转移资金、管理财富。如果有机会的话,大家稍后可以和 Canopy 的团队聊一聊,他们正在做的一些东西,能让你感受到未来的发展方向。

Cardano’s ‘ghost chain’ label debunked? Why ADA’s 34 dApps don’t tell the full story

The article examines and refutes the "ghost chain" label sometimes applied to Cardano (ADA). While Cardano has significantly fewer dApps and lower transaction/user counts compared to leading Layer 1 chains like Ethereum and Solana, this is partly due to its unique Extended Unspent Transaction Output (EUTXO) model. This model batches transactions, improving security and determinism but potentially underrepresenting true on-chain activity. The piece acknowledges recent ecosystem challenges but highlights Cardano's strong development activity and its distinct focus on peer-reviewed research, security, and sustainability for institutional use. It concludes that while various chains occupy different niches, low activity metrics alone are insufficient to deem Cardano a "ghost chain."

Bitmine’s Ethereum stash rises to $9.8B: ‘The best years for crypto remain ahead’

Bitmine Immersion Technologies significantly increased its Ethereum holdings, adding 27,084 ETH last week to reach a total of 5,700,040 ETH, valued at approximately $9.01 billion. This accumulation occurred despite a decline in ETH's price and net outflows from Ethereum ETFs. The article draws parallels between Bitmine and Michael Saylor's company, MicroStrategy, noting similar scrutiny over large crypto holdings and market volatility. However, Bitmine's Chairman Tom Lee remains optimistic, citing the company's strong financial position with substantial staking revenue, cash reserves, and recent inclusion in the Russell 1000 Index. He asserts that the best years for crypto are ahead, driven by tokenization and AI advancements.

UK FCA unveils crypto rulebook: Risk-based approach starts October 2027

UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has unveiled a new, risk-based regulatory framework for cryptoasset companies, set to take effect in October 2027. This approach moves away from rigid, uniform rules to a system where capital requirements and disclosure obligations will vary based on a firm's individual risk profile. Companies will conduct their own annual risk assessments and stress tests, subject to FCA review. The rules aim to lower compliance costs for smaller firms, boost market confidence, and attract millions of new UK crypto users. The framework also establishes baseline rules for stablecoin issuers, including consumer protections, while allowing for stricter oversight of larger, systemic players. FCA executives state the rules provide needed clarity, though experts caution that regulation reduces but does not eliminate consumer risks.

You Use Claude and Codex Every Day, but Meta Has Restricted Internal Use

In May, Meta imposed internal restrictions on its engineers regarding the use of Claude Code and Codex, two widely used AI programming tools. Despite being a major client, Meta's guidelines, still in effect, prohibit these external models from being used for specific tasks to prevent potential "escalations with partners." The core concern is "distillation"—the risk that outputs from Claude or Codex could inadvertently contaminate the training data and evaluation processes for Meta's in-house AI coding assistant, MetaCode. If MetaCode is trained or evaluated using data generated by these external models, it risks learning their capabilities rather than developing its own, blurring the line of intellectual origin. The restrictions are precise: engineers cannot use the external models to generate test questions, debug source code, or suggest test cases. AI-generated content is also barred from environments accessible to MetaCode. However, AI can still assist with peripheral tasks like workflow setup and code organization, provided all outputs are manually reviewed. This caution reflects a broader industry dilemma. While distillation is a common technique, using a competitor's model output for training raises legal and ethical questions about the ownership of derived capabilities. Contractual terms from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic explicitly forbid using their outputs to build competing products, putting enforcement power in the hands of rivals. The move is also financially motivated, as Meta seeks to reduce its hefty internal AI spending, estimated in the billions this year. Meta's policy illustrates the delicate balance companies must strike: leveraging powerful external AI tools while safeguarding the integrity and independence of their own AI development. As AI systems increasingly help build other AIs, distinguishing the origin of capabilities becomes a fundamental challenge for the entire industry.

Why Do We Need an AI Content Perspective Today?

The article "Why Do We Need an AI Content Perspective Today?" explores the complex and often contentious integration of AI into the cultural and creative industries, particularly film and television. It begins with the cancellation of Amazon's AI-generated animation "Punky Duck," highlighting the ethical debates surrounding AI content. AI's rapid advancement is transforming video production, enabling cost-effective, full-length AI films (e.g., "RAPHAEL," "Dreams of Violets") while sparking industry resistance over issues like "synthetic actors." The core debate has shifted from whether to use AI to how to use it responsibly. The article analyzes why AI's entry into film is uniquely unsettling. It distinguishes between "cultural fast food" (short-form, fast-paced content like micro-dramas) and "cultural main courses" (traditional, long-form film/TV). AI currently excels at the former, matching its fragmented narratives, shallow emotional needs, and free-to-consumer models. However, venturing into the latter challenges the human-centric essence of storytelling—creativity, emotional depth, and the unique value of human labor and experience. While AI can generate massive volumes of content and lower costs, it risks devaluing human creativity, leading to homogenized output, and creating unfair competition through potential intellectual property infringement. Its efficiency also amplifies content safety risks, making preemptive governance crucial. To counter these risks, the article proposes establishing clear boundaries guided by a human-centered AI content perspective. It outlines four principles: 1) Amplify, rather than displace, human creative space; 2) Respect and protect human creative output; 3) Ensure human creative control and responsibility remain paramount; and 4) Guarantee transparency and traceability in AI creation. The conclusion emphasizes that humans must act as the "helmsmen" of technology, steering AI development to enhance, not replace, the core human values at the heart of cultural expression.

What is CRMON

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions. The Technology and Innovation Framework Behind CRMON The technological infrastructure supporting CRMON integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial mechanisms, delivering institutional-grade security and compliance while maintaining the operational advantages of decentralised systems. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, CRMON utilises robust smart contract capabilities to ensure transparent, secure operations. The smart contract architecture incorporates layered security and compliance mechanisms, enabling automated compliance checks and real-time asset backing verification. Integration with oracle services maintains accurate pricing and dividend information, ensuring CRMON reflects the underlying Salesforce stock's accurate performance. This architecture delivers automated dividend reinvestments and other corporate actions, eliminating manual processing requirements and directly enhancing tokenholder benefits. Ondo Finance ensures CRMON's security structure includes daily third-party verification of holdings, independent collateral agents, and a multiple-layer custody system through partnerships with established financial institutions. This framework safeguards tokenholder interests against operational risks while providing robust asset backing. The user interface enhances integration capabilities, allowing seamless interaction between CRMON and various decentralised finance protocols, as well as cryptocurrency exchanges. This interoperability enables users to leverage their tokenised equity across multiple platforms, creating sophisticated investment strategies that marry traditional equity characteristics with blockchain-native innovation. Leadership and Corporate Structure of Ondo Finance The leadership team behind CRMON and Ondo Finance blends expertise from traditional finance and blockchain technology, presenting a robust combination of skills essential for successfully bridging conventional markets with decentralised finance. Nathan Allman, the founder and CEO, emerged from a distinguished financial background before establishing Ondo Finance in 2021.

The diverse composition of investors reflects broad market confidence in Ondo Finance's business model, demonstrating support from both traditional and blockchain-native organisations. Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology. The technical implementation introduces multiple layers of security, compliance, and operational efficiency to meet institutional standards while enhancing accessibility. The tokenisation process begins by acquiring actual Salesforce stock through U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring each CRMON token maintains direct correlation with the underlying equity performance. Smart contracts automate operational processes, including dividend reinvestment and corporate action processing, facilitating a streamlined user experience. The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications. Plans for cross-chain compatibility through partnerships signal further ambitions for CRMON's market reach. By expanding to other blockchain networks, Ondo Finance aims to enhance accessibility and user engagement with tokenised equity products.
