SBF 被捕,FTX 事件迎来最终章?

SBF 被捕,FTX 事件迎来最终章?

据媒体报道,FTX 创始人 Sam Bankman-Fried 在巴哈马被捕,巴哈马称美国对 SBF 提起刑事诉讼。巴哈马司法部长表示,美国可能会要求引渡 SBF。

巴哈马政府声明表示:

SBF 的被捕是在收到美国的正式通知,表示已对 SBF 提出刑事指控,并可能要求引渡他之后。

纽约南区检察官对媒体证实,SBF 已被起诉,并表示起诉书将于周二公布。

在回应 SBF 德被捕一事时,巴哈马总理 Philip Davis 表示,巴哈马和美国「有共同利益,要追究所有与 FTX 有关的个人的责任,这些人可能背叛了公众信任并违反了法律」。

这位总理表示,巴哈马当局将继续对 FTX 的倒闭进行监管和刑事调查。

2021 年,SBF 将 FTX 的总部从香港迁至巴哈马首都拿骚,并从那以后一直留在巴哈马。

原定参与听证会

华尔街见闻此前曾介绍,本周二 SBF 原定将通过视频接入参加美国国会众议院的听证会,这也是他首次就 FTX 破产事件与美国官员进行首次公开接触。

SBF 原是拒绝作证的,理由是希望等自己了解和评估 FTX 快速崩溃的原因再作证。但他同时又到处接受媒体采访,这显然是为了解释自己的角色以及对 FTX 破产事件的理解。

因此美国众议院金融服务委员会主席 Maxine Waters 抓住了这一点反击:

根据你作为首席执行官的角色以及过去几周对媒体的采访,我们很清楚,你目前掌握的信息足以作证。

有律师对媒体称,他决定远程出庭可能是因为他希望避免在美国本土被捕,而监管机构正在调查他。洛杉矶刑事辩护和上诉律师 Matthew Barhoma 说,SBF 可能面临欺诈和电汇欺诈的指控:

SBF 选择远程作证而不是亲自作证表明他害怕被捕,如果他来到美国土地上,被捕的可能性很高。他远程作证的精明举动可能会使他受益。

FTX 危机发生后,巴哈马官方首先冻结了 FTX 的资产,SBF 试图「跑路」未果。有消息称,SBF 一行人正在受巴哈马相关机构监视,他们很难离开当地。

另一个消息称,因迪拜与美国之间没有引渡条约,SBF、FTX 联合创始人 Gary Wang、工程总监 Nishad Singh 曾寻找逃往迪拜的方法。

而在此后,SBF 一系列的公开露面彻底点燃了公众的愤怒。

在被捕之前的一次亮相中,SBF 回答媒体问题时「一脸无辜」,声称不知道 Alameda 的杠杆、资金漏洞和抵押贷款,他错就错在没有对 Alameda 多一些关注,并反复强调他现在「只关心那些受到伤害的客户」。

重要的是,他并不认为自己需为这一系列的风暴承担刑事责任。

民主党「金主」

值得注意的是,在 FTX 危机发酵时,有媒体称 SBF 可能也将遭到美国政府调查。但马斯克在推特上表示,SBF 不会被调查,因为他是民主党的大金主。

据统计,此次中期选举,SBF 是民主党的第二大个人捐款人,捐款金额高达 3900 万美元,仅次于索罗斯。

Podcast Notes: Hyperliquid Has Become the Top Interest Point for Traditional Hedge Funds

Empire Podcast hosts Jason Yanowitz and Santiago Santos discuss the surging institutional interest in Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual exchange, marking the highest level of engagement from traditional hedge fund managers since Paul Tudor Jones endorsed Bitcoin in 2020. The primary driver is the demand for weekend trading of commodities like oil, especially during geopolitical tensions such as the Iran conflict, as Hyperliquid provides the only active price discovery venue when traditional markets are closed. Trade XYZ, a front-end on Hyperliquid, has seen significant growth, with weekend oil price predictions having a median error of only 50 basis points. Santos predicts commodity trading volume on Hyperliquid will surpass Bitcoin within the year and that its market cap could rise from $25 billion to $100 billion. Other key points include Kraken raising $200 million at a reduced valuation of $13.3 billion, and the SEC clarifying that self-custodied DeFi frontends like MetaMask are not subject to broker-dealer rules, resolving a major regulatory uncertainty. The hosts also note the strong correlation between crypto and macro markets, with the S&P 500 posting one of its best 10-day rallies since 1950. They highlight MicroStrategy's continued Bitcoin acquisitions and the potential of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization as a key trend. The discussion concludes with skepticism towards many L2 projects, predicting a wave of protocols truly going to zero as capital concentrates in proven assets like Bitcoin and Hyperliquid.

a16z: The Next Frontier of AI, The Triple Flywheel of Robotics, Autonomous Science, and Brain-Computer Interfaces

a16z presents a comprehensive investment thesis for the next frontier of AI: Physical AI, centered on a synergistic flywheel of robotics, autonomous science, and novel human-computer interfaces (HCIs) like brain-computers. While the current AI paradigm scales on language and code, the most disruptive future capabilities will emerge from three adjacent fields leveraging five core technical primitives: 1) learned representations of physical dynamics (via models like VLA, WAM, and native embodied models), 2) embodied action architectures (e.g., dual-system designs, diffusion-based motion generation, and RL fine-tuning like RECAP), 3) simulation and synthetic data as scaling infrastructure, 4) expanded sensory channels (touch, neural signals, silent speech, olfaction), and 5) closed-loop agent systems for long-horizon tasks. These primitives converge to power three key domains: * **Robotics:** The literal embodiment of AI, requiring all primitives for real-world physical interaction and manipulation. * **Autonomous Science:** Self-driving labs that conduct hypothesis-experiment-analysis loops, generating structured, causally-grounded data to improve physical AI models. * **Novel HCIs:** Devices (AR glasses, EMG wearables, BCIs) that expand human-AI bandwidth and act as massive data-collection networks for real-world human experience. These domains form a mutually reinforcing flywheel: Robotics enable autonomous labs, which in turn generate valuable data for robotics and materials science. New interfaces provide rich human-physical interaction data to train better robots and scientists. Together, they represent a new scaling axis for AI, moving beyond the digital realm to interact with and learn from physical reality, promising significant emergent capabilities and value.

Conversation with Bitwise Advisor: From K-Shaped Economy to AI Taking Jobs, How Can Bitcoin Save the Younger Generation?

Jeff Park, a macro strategist and advisor at Bitwise, argues that the traditional financial system is broken, particularly for young generations. He describes a "K-shaped economy" where asset inflation enriches the wealthy while leaving others behind, with unaffordable housing as a key symptom. Park explains that real estate is often a depreciating asset due to maintenance costs and taxes, yet it remains unattainable for many young people due to distorted demand from global capital flows. He proposes Bitcoin as a superior store of value—scarce, portable, and free from maintenance costs or excessive taxation. By diverting capital away from real estate, Bitcoin could help lower housing prices and increase accessibility. Park also discusses the decline of traditional "smart investing" (e.g., value stocks) and the rise of "ideological investing" in non-correlated assets like crypto, luxury goods, and collectibles. On AI, Park warns it could trigger extreme social inequality by eliminating jobs while boosting corporate profits. He believes this will push younger generations toward Bitcoin, not only as a hedge but also as a symbol of decentralization and data sovereignty—offering an alternative to centralized AI systems that use personal data without fair compensation. He advises a diversified portfolio with Bitcoin as a core holding to hedge against currency devaluation and systemic risk.
