Abstract

Menurut Bloomberg, Erebor Bank, bank digital yang didukung oleh pendiri Anduril Palmer Luckey dan miliarder Peter Thiel, sedang bernegosiasi untuk putaran pendanaan baru dengan valuasi target minimal $80 miliar. Ini merupakan peningkatan dua kali lipat dari valuasi $43,5 miliar pada Desember lalu. Lonjakan valuasi ini didorong oleh pertumbuhan yang cepat. Deposito bank melonjak dari $1,1 miliar pada akhir Maret menjadi sekitar $4,05 miliar dalam tiga bulan, dengan tambahan hampir 400 klien baru. Namun, bank masih mencatatkan kerugian bersih $6,01 juta pada kuartal pertama. Didirikan setelah runtuhnya Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), Erebor bertujuan melayani perusahaan rintisan teknologi dan pertahanan dengan aset non-tradisional. Bank ini berencana menghubungkan layanan perbankan tradisional dengan aset digital, termasuk mendukung stablecoin dan penyelesaian on-chain 24/7. Pada April, Erebor mengumumkan dukungan untuk jaringan Sui. Erebor mendapatkan lisensi bank nasional baru dari OCC pada Februari 2026, mencerminkan sikap regulasi yang lebih terbuka terhadap aset digital. Namun, model bisnisnya menghadapi banyak risiko yang mirip dengan SVB, seperti konsentrasi klien, volatilitas kripto, dan ketergantungan pada kebijakan regulasi yang mendukung.

Menurut laporan Bloomberg, bank digital Erebor yang digagas oleh pendiri Anduril, Palmer Luckey, dan didukung oleh investor miliarder Peter Thiel, sedang bernegosiasi dengan investor untuk putaran pendanaan baru dengan target valuasi minimal 8 miliar dolar AS. Nilai ini sekitar dua kali lipat dari putaran Desember lalu (penggalangan dana 350 juta dolar AS dengan valuasi 4,35 miliar dolar AS). Pembicaraan pendanaan masih dalam tahap awal, valuasi belum final. Juru bicara Erebor menolak berkomentar mengenai isi negosiasi.

Valuasi sebuah bank yang baru berdiri beberapa bulan melonjak dua kali lipat, menjadi salah satu kasus peningkatan valuasi tertinggi di antara bank-bank Amerika Serikat baru yang baru saja memperoleh izin dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Yang benar-benar membuat investor bersedia menaikkan harga tawar mungkin adalah kecepatan ekspansi yang terlihat dari laporan keuangannya.

Potensi Apa yang Dilihat Investor dari Laporan Keuangan?

Menurut sumber yang mengetahui, jumlah simpanan Erebor melonjak dari 1,1 miliar dolar AS yang diungkapkan kepada regulator pada akhir Maret menjadi sekitar 4,05 miliar dolar AS dalam tiga bulan, hampir empat kali lipat dalam satu kuartal. Bank tersebut juga menambahkan hampir 400 klien baru dan memperkirakan akan mencapai profitabilitas pada akhir tahun 2026.
Kecepatan pertumbuhan ini juga memicu keraguan dari pihak luar, apakah hubungan Erebor dengan lingkaran teknologi Silicon Valley dan lingkaran pertahanan pemerintah terlalu dekat? Ada kecurigaan ini hanyalah permainan "orang dalam".

Luckey menanggapi langsung hal ini, menekankan bahwa tidak ada bagian dari pertumbuhan kuartalan tersebut yang berasal dari perusahaannya sendiri, dan klien baru semuanya secara independen memilih Erebor. Dia juga menambahkan, sebagian besar ekspansi baru-baru ini berfokus pada perusahaan-perusahaan yang membangun kembali kapasitas manufaktur AS. Bank juga telah memperluas pembiayaan peralatan, kredit modal ventura, serta bisnis kredit yang mendukung perusahaan industri dan pertahanan.

Melihat laporan keuangan kuartal pertama, total aset Erebor adalah 1,703 miliar dolar AS, simpanan 1,098 miliar dolar AS, dan ekuitas bank 600,6 juta dolar AS. Tidak ada pinjaman atau bisnis sewa di neraca, dan juga tidak ada pinjaman lain selain simpanan (pos seperti dana federal yang dipinjam, perjanjian pembelian kembali, pinjaman lainnya, utang subordinasi, semuanya nol). Struktur aset sangat condong pada likuiditas: sekitar 1,411 miliar dolar AS adalah kas dan penyimpanan antar bank, dan sekitar 275 juta dolar AS lainnya adalah surat berharga dan sekuritas ekuitas yang tersedia untuk dijual (termasuk 116 juta dolar AS obligasi dan 159 juta dolar AS sekuritas ekuitas).

Selain itu, pendapatan bunga bersih kuartalan hanya 3,36 juta dolar AS, pengeluaran non-bunga 10,56 juta dolar AS, mencatat kerugian bersih 6,01 juta dolar AS. Namun, bagi bank baru yang baru diluncurkan dan masih menyerap biaya teknologi, kepatuhan, dan operasional, kerugian seperti ini adalah pengeluaran yang diperlukan.

Dengan kata lain, investor bersedia membayar valuasi 8 miliar dolar AS bukan karena potensi monetisasi Erebor saat ini, melainkan melihat kecepatan pertumbuhan simpanannya dari 1,1 miliar menjadi 4,05 miliar dolar AS, serta harapan bahwa di masa depan mereka dapat menggunakan simpanan ini untuk memberikan pinjaman dan mengembangkan bisnis stablecoin.

Pendiri Tidak Akrab dengan Wall Street, Namun Latar Belakangnya Luar Biasa

Untuk memahami Erebor, kita harus memahami pola konstruksi produk yang berulang kali muncul di baliknya.

Jejak pendiri Palmer Luckey mencakup Oculus VR dan Anduril, selalu berfokus pada industri padat modal di persimpangan perangkat keras, hambatan regulasi, dan ekosistem yang berdekatan dengan pemerintah. Pada 2012, dia memasuki pasar VR yang belum terbentuk, memecahkan masalah latensi dan pelacakan spasial yang telah mengganggu industri selama bertahun-tahun, dan pada 2014 menjual Oculus ke Facebook senilai 2 miliar dolar AS. Usaha kedua, Anduril, menerapkan pendekatan yang sama ke industri pertahanan: menggunakan uang modal ventura swasta untuk membuat sistem pertahanan terlebih dahulu, lalu menjualnya ke pemerintah sebagai "produk" daripada dengan cara tradisional "cost-plus", sehingga membangun hubungan yang erat dengan Departemen Pertahanan dan badan intelijen. Luckey menyatakan, Erebor akan "bekerja sama dengan badan intelijen sejak hari pertama" untuk mencegah penipuan, mengadopsi postur kepatuhan yang bersifat preventif.

Namun, Luckey sendiri adalah pendatang di dunia perbankan. Merek Erebor sebagian bergantung pada reputasinya dan Thiel, tetapi reputasi pada akhirnya tidak dapat menggantikan kinerja regulasi dan operasional. Begitu melangkah ke Wall Street, bank ini pada akhirnya akan diperiksa sesuai dengan standar lembaga yang diawasi.

Oleh karena itu, yang benar-benar mengendalikan operasional adalah tim dengan landasan keuangan yang kuat: Presiden Michael Hagedorn berasal dari bisnis perbankan regional Wells Fargo; CEO Owen Rapaport memiliki latar belakang pengalaman kepatuhan kripto yang dikumpulkan melalui Aer Compliance; Kepala Strategi Jacob Hirshman pernah terlibat dalam bisnis stablecoin Circle dan berpraktik di Sullivan & Cromwell; Wakil Presiden Pertumbuhan Noah Pompan memiliki pengalaman di MoonPay. Jajaran investor termasuk 8VC milik Joe Lonsdale, Founders Fund milik Thiel, Lux Capital, serta dana terkait a16z.

Selain itu, pilihan strategis kunci Erebor adalah: bersikeras mendapatkan izin sendiri dan bertanggung jawab atas laporan keuangannya, tidak seperti Mercury atau Brex yang bergantung pada bank mitra. Argumen Luckey adalah, mengandalkan infrastruktur pihak ketiga berarti membuka diri terhadap risiko "deplatforming", tekanan kebijakan, dan pembatasan produk; hanya dengan memiliki izin dan buku besar sendiri, mereka dapat mewujudkan penyelesaian on-chain, pencetakan, dan penebusan stablecoin yang dijanjikan.

Melihat kembali titik awal Erebor, hampir sepenuhnya terkait dengan runtuhnya Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) pada 2023. Kebangkrutan itu membuat banyak startup dan modal ventura kehilangan mitra bank dan jaminan simpanan mereka dalam semalam. Luckey dan investor percaya, ini meninggalkan "kevakuman struktural", yaitu hilangnya bank yang khusus melayani startup, sementara bank-bank tradisional terlalu konservatif atau lambat bagi startup yang memiliki aset non-standar (kontrak pertahanan, perangkat keras AI, token digital).

Erebor mengklaim akan memecahkan empat titik sakit utama: pertama, menyediakan kredit untuk aset fisik; bank tradisional pandai memberikan pinjaman berdasarkan real estat atau piutang, tetapi tidak pandai menilai "GPU" atau "penelitian luar angkasa". Kedua, menghubungkan pemisahan on-chain dan off-chain, membawa bank mata uang fiat dan penyelesaian stablecoin ke dalam neraca yang sama yang diawasi. Ketiga, memenuhi kebutuhan penyelesaian 24/7, menggantikan SWIFT dan ACH yang masih berjalan dengan jadwal puluhan tahun lalu. Keempat, menyediakan akses dolar AS untuk perusahaan internasional yang tumbuh pesat, melawan gesekan "debanking" yang sering mereka hadapi.

Tentu saja, seberapa nyata potensi operasional ini dan seberapa banyak yang merupakan pemasaran masih dapat diperdebatkan. Perusahaan yang didukung modal ventura kini sebenarnya memiliki pilihan alternatif seperti pinjaman non-bank, pinjaman DeFi. Beberapa bank yang ada juga telah mulai mengejar ceruk teknologi sebelum kebangkrutan SVB. Pendiri Erebor jelas percaya bahwa lembaga yang ada tidak cukup, dan fakta bahwa mereka dapat memperoleh izin bank penuh menunjukkan bahwa regulator mungkin juga menganggap penilaian ini memiliki beberapa kebenaran.

Selain itu, aset digital adalah inti dari strategi jangka panjang Erebor. Mereka berencana menangani simpanan dan pembayaran stablecoin dolar AS, menyediakan konversi instan antara mata uang fiat dan stablecoin, jalur penyelesaian sepanjang waktu, dan secara bertahap mendukung pencetakan dan penebusan stablecoin dalam kerangka yang diawasi. Izin OCC mereka bahkan secara eksplisit mengizinkan mereka untuk memegang sejumlah kecil aset kripto di buku mereka sendiri untuk membayar biaya transaksi on-chain. Surat regulasi mendefinisikan kepemilikan semacam ini sebagai tindakan "insidental" untuk bisnis perbankan, yang merupakan preseden yang patut diperhatikan dalam hal kepatuhan.

Pada 2 April, Sui Foundation mengumumkan bahwa Erebor telah mendukung jaringan Sui, memungkinkan klien melakukan penyetoran dan penarikan stablecoin. Ini adalah salah satu bukti publik pertama mereka menghubungkan infrastruktur bank yang diawasi dengan pembayaran on-chain.

Namun, kenyataannya juga terdapat kesenjangan. Menurut sumber yang mengetahui, permintaan untuk pinjaman dengan jaminan kripto lebih rendah dari yang diharapkan bank pada awalnya. Ini selaras dengan laporan keuangan yang disebutkan sebelumnya: yang benar-benar mendorong pertumbuhan baru-baru ini justru adalah perusahaan-perusahaan yang membangun kembali kapasitas manufaktur AS, serta pembiayaan peralatan dan pinjaman modal ventura untuk mereka. Dengan kata lain, saat ini Erebor lebih mirip campuran "Pertahanan + Manufaktur Canggih + Kripto", daripada bank kripto asli murni.

Waktu dan Tempat yang Tepat, Erebor Bahkan Mengajukan Izin pada Saat yang Tepat?

Menguraikan bagian izin, Erebor memperoleh persetujuan awal bersyarat dari OCC pada 15 Oktober 2025, persetujuan asuransi simpanan FDIC pada 16 Desember, izin akhir pada awal Februari 2026, dan secara resmi diluncurkan pada 8 Februari dengan modal awal sekitar 625 juta dolar AS (peningkatan signifikan dari sekitar 275 juta dolar AS pada tahap persetujuan awal). Ini adalah izin bank nasional baru (de novo) pertama yang dikeluarkan di bawah pemerintahan AS saat ini.

Semua ini terjadi di tengah latar belakang perubahan kebijakan perbankan AS yang jelas: di OCC yang dipimpin oleh Acting Comptroller Jonathan Gould, sikap regulasi secara terbuka menyatakan keterbukaan terhadap bank aset digital, Gould sendiri juga memuji izin ini sebagai contoh "sistem keuangan yang dinamis dan beragam"; ditambah dengan kemajuan kerangka kerja stablecoin tingkat federal (GENIUS Act), wilayah hukum yang sebelumnya kabur telah menjadi lebih jelas.

Perlu dicatat, regulator juga tidak sepenuhnya memberikan lampu hijau. Sebagai imbalan untuk persetujuan, OCC dan FDIC menambahkan persyaratan ketat: selama tiga tahun pertama harus mempertahankan rasio leverage Tier 1 minimal 12% (sekitar dua kali lipat dari ambang batas "kecukupan modal"), dan disertai dengan komitmen penambahan modal. Dapat dikatakan, kelayakan Erebor sebagian terikat pada siklus politik saat ini. Jika sikap regulasi berubah di masa depan, atau aturan stablecoin dan anti-pencucian uang menjadi lebih ketat, seluruh narasi yang dibangun di atas "aturan yang ramah token" ini dapat menghadapi tekanan balik.

Terakhir, menurut penilaian media asing, model Erebor hampir meniru setiap risiko dari pelajaran SVB dulu.

Mereka menangani perusahaan teknologi tahap awal, dengan agunan adalah aset non-tradisional; mereka melayani sejumlah kecil akun besar (startup, pendiri, dana investasi), bukan ribuan nasabah eceran; kegagalan atau penarikan dari satu klien pun (gejolak pasar kripto, penarikan besar-besaran modal ventura) dapat secara signifikan mempengaruhi likuiditas. Regulator telah lama menunjukkan bahwa struktur basis klien "tanaman tunggal" seperti di SVB adalah salah satu pendorong rush.

Keterkaitan dengan kripto membuat masalah ini lebih rumit. Jika stablecoin yang mereka dukung kehilangan patokan, atau harga kripto jatuh, basis simpanan dan agunan pinjaman dapat menyusut secara bersamaan. Lebih jauh, ada risiko pembalikan kebijakan (seluruh narasi mereka bertaruh pada aturan token yang longgar), risiko eksekusi membangun sistem inti dan penyelesaian on-chain dari nol, serta premis yang belum terbukti "apakah stablecoin benar-benar diadopsi secara luas oleh klien". Terakhir adalah risiko reputasi dan politik, hubungan politik Luckey yang sangat kontroversial, ditambah dengan keunikan "bank kripto" itu sendiri, dapat memperbesar kehilangan kepercayaan pasar jika bank mengalami masalah.

Dapat dikatakan Erebor adalah eksperimen tinggi yang terjadi di persimpangan kebijakan perbankan, kripto, dan industri.

Kebutuhan yang mereka advokasikan ke pasar adalah celah pembiayaan setelah keruntuhan SVB, serta gesekan pembayaran kripto. Sekarang, regulator telah memberikan dukungan di atas kertas, tim juga memiliki reputasi teknologi dan latar belakang Wall Street. Pelaksanaan model baru ini, keberlanjutan sikap regulasi, dan kebutuhan pasar yang sesungguhnya terhadap layanan terintegrasi mereka adalah poin-poin yang ditinjau dengan cermat oleh pasar.

Goldman Sachs Research Report Analysis: Circle and USDC Are Moving Beyond the Crypto World, Cross-Border Payments and AI Agents Become New Battlegrounds

Goldman Sachs published a summary of its meeting with Circle Internet Group (issuer of USDC) on July 5th. The core takeaway is that stablecoins, led by USDC, are evolving from a crypto-native tool into foundational infrastructure for traditional finance and the AI economy. USDC's use cases are rapidly expanding beyond crypto trading into cross-border payments, e-commerce, capital market settlements, and notably, payments for AI agents. Circle's management emphasized that stablecoin growth is now decoupled from crypto market cycles, driven by this diversification. They outlined five key application layers and highlighted USDC's network effects, global liquidity depth, and regulatory compliance as competitive moats. Circle distinguishes USDC from bank-issued tokenized deposits, arguing the former is an open, internet-native system without bank credit risk. Strategically, Circle is building a broader fintech platform with its Arc Layer 1 blockchain, the Circle Payments Network for cross-border transfers, and an "Agentic Stack" to serve AI agent economies, where USDC already dominates. Regarding regulation, Circle views potential U.S. legislation like the CLARITY Act as a catalyst for growth rather than a constraint, expecting it to encourage broader institutional adoption and active usage. Goldman Sachs maintains a Neutral rating on Circle with a $96 price target, noting the company's shift from a pure stablecoin issuer to a financial infrastructure provider. Key risks include competition from USDT and potential earnings pressure from declining interest rates on its reserve assets.

The Robinhood Stock Tokens You Bought Are Just Debts from Jersey Island

The Robinhood stock tokens you buy are essentially debt securities issued by a shell company in Jersey, not real equity. These tokens merely track stock prices like NVIDIA or Apple but grant no shareholder rights like voting or dividends. If the underlying company fails, you have no claim on its assets. Instead, you hold a debt instrument from Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited, which promises returns based on stock performance. If this Jersey entity goes bankrupt, you become an unsecured creditor. This complex structure stems from Robinhood's past crisis during the 2021 GameStop short squeeze, where T+2 settlement caused liquidity issues. The blockchain-based tokens enable instant settlement, theoretically preventing such trading halts. The product is classified by the SEC as a "linked security" or structured note, carrying counterparty risk not borne by actual shareholders. It is available globally but excluded from the US, UK, and other major markets, while Robinhood offers a fully compliant, asset-backed token model in Europe under MiFID II. The system relies on oracles for pricing, which poses risks like manipulation and faulty liquidations seen in DeFi exploits. Robinhood profits from spreads and aims to become a full-chain settlement layer. Meanwhile, competitors like Ondo have launched SEC-registered, fully compliant equity tokens in the US with actual voting rights and dividends. Robinhood’s Jersey debt model appears as a transitional, regulatory-arbitrage product, aiming to capture market share ahead of future regulatory clarity.
