质疑 biT global 的资质

Wrapped BTC 的业务模型

Wrapped BTC 的业务模型其实非常简单,如下图:

观点:WBTC该升级技术方案了

wrap:

表示从 BTC 转换成 W-BTC。

wrap-house:

表示 wrap 的运作机制, 确保用户存入的 BTC 都有对应的 w-btc 在某一个账本(通常是一个区块链,例如 ETH)得到铸造,不多不少。

unwrap:

表示从 W-BTC 转换成 BTC。

unwrap-house:

表示 unwrap 的运作机制,确保用户在销毁 w-btc 之后,会有机制让他获得 Bitcoin 上的 BTC,不多不少。

对比 Trustless 程度

对比上述业务和技术模型的维度特别多,下面作者将从 wrap/unwrap 2 个方向的免信任水平来进行对比。

Non-Trustless

典型的就是 BitGO 的当前 WBTC,wrap-house 和 unwrap-house 的运作,都是由 bitgo custody 控制。

观点:WBTC该升级技术方案了

很明显,用户需要信任 BitGO custody 服务商始终能够正常工作。

Single Way Trustless

接下来再来看在 2020 年前后出现的两个有代表性的项目:tBTC/renBTC。

观点:WBTC该升级技术方案了

我们可以看到,在 x-chain(例如有完整验证能力的情况下,例如具备 evm),wrap-house 比较容易做较高水平的 trustless。

但 unwrap-house 由于受到当时技术条件的局限,只能通过阈值签名的方式来提高安全性,无论这个预支签名的做到哪种程度。

Dual Way Trustless

时间来到了 2024 年,得益于包括 BitVM/Starkware 的团队在比特币原生验证能力(包含 fraud proof 和 validity proof)的开创性尝试,随着 BitlayerLabs 等社区团队的实践落地,unwrap-house 将有望实现 trustless。

观点:WBTC该升级技术方案了

其中 fraud proof 的代表是 BitVM 及其衍生项目,指的是没有 OP_CAT 的情况下实现乐观验证,主流的实现方案是承诺和挑战 ZK 验证的过程。

Validity proof 则是在假设具备 OP_CAT 操作码的情况下,实现 ZK 的直接验证;有了 OP_CAT,锁定的 BTC 将由所谓的 covenant(类合约)来控制。

方案总结对比

横向对比上述提到的各种技术方案,可以发现基于比特币验证能力(validation)的技术方案,将会在 2 个方向上 trustless 水平有更好的表现。

观点:WBTC该升级技术方案了

总结

WBTC 在 2018 年的横空出世,拉开了将 BTC 流动性带入 DeFi 世界的序幕。后续 2020 年的 tBTC 等项目做了一部分的优化和改进,以比特币原生的验证能力为代表的 validation 技术方案,将会在双向免信任上有更好的表现。WBTC,是时候升级你的技术方案了!

Critical Game Week: BTC Retracement Confirmation vs. HYPE Support Battle | Guest Analysis

This weekly analysis outlines a critical juncture for BTC and HYPE markets, focusing on key price level confirmations. **BTC Analysis:** BTC is at a pivotal point after a five-wave rally from the June 5th low of $59,100. The price has broken below a short-term rising channel's lower boundary, with the current move seen as a pullback to test this breakdown. Failure to reclaim this level could lead to a retest of the $59,000-$60,000 support zone. The core scenario hinges on this channel retest outcome. * **Key Levels:** Resistance at $64,500-$65,000 (channel boundary) and $69,500-$70,500. Support at $59,000-$60,000 and $55,000. * **Strategy:** A core bearish stance is maintained (20% short from last week), with short-term plans for tactical trades. Three detailed contingency plans (A/B/C) are provided for short positions on resistance tests or breakdowns, emphasizing strict stop-loss discipline. **HYPE Analysis:** HYPE shows strong momentum but is currently in a corrective phase after hitting a new high of $76.94. The price is retesting the crucial $64-$66 support area. * **Key Levels:** Resistance near $77 and $80-$82. Support at $64-$66 and $52-$54. * **Strategy:** The short-term approach is "buy on dips, avoid chasing rallies." A long position is considered only if clear stabilization signals appear at the $64-$66 or deeper $52-$54 support zones, with tight risk controls. **General Risk Management:** A standardized trailing stop-loss protocol is emphasized: set initial stop, breakeven at +1% profit, then trail stops upward to lock in gains. *Disclaimer: All analysis is presented as a personal trading framework, not investment advice. Market conditions are complex and require dynamic adjustment.*

Research Report Interpretation: Citi Attends AWS Summit, Bullish on Cloud Business Acceleration but Data Governance Remains Key Variable

Citi analyst Tyler Radke's team attended the AWS New York Summit (June 17-18), engaging with over 10 clients and partners. In a June 19 report, they highlighted the summit's focus on scaling agent AI for enterprise deployment. Citi maintains a "Buy" rating on Amazon, forecasting AWS revenue growth to accelerate to 37% in FY27 from 30% in FY26, noting this estimate may be conservative. Key takeaways: 1. **AWS Strategy Shift:** AWS is moving from proof-of-concepts to scalable deployment. New offerings like AWS Context (building enterprise knowledge graphs), Amazon Quick (cross-application AI assistant), and security tool Continuum address core enterprise pain points for AI adoption. 2. **Data Infrastructure Beneficiaries:** Data infrastructure companies like Snowflake, Elastic, Oracle, and ClickHouse are seen as direct beneficiaries of scaling AI workloads, as evidenced by strong growth and use cases presented. 3. **Critical Role of Data Governance:** As AI agents scale from hundreds to thousands, effective data governance becomes the key variable for deploying AI in core business processes. AWS Context represents AWS's strategic extension from providing compute/models to offering a data governance infrastructure layer. The report emphasizes that without solving data governance, AI will remain confined to pilot projects. The investment thesis focuses on AWS revenue acceleration and data infrastructure vendors' growth, while monitoring signals like AWS's quarterly revenue growth, Bedrock AgentCore task volume, and pricing impacts on companies like Elastic.

Crucial Week of Contention: BTC Tests Support and HYPE's Key Level Battle | Special Analysis

**Market Enters Critical Week: Bitcoin Pullback Test and HYPE Support Battle** The market enters a crucial phase of contention this week. The marginal shifts in Federal Reserve policy expectations continue to dictate the pricing rhythm for risk assets. Meanwhile, in the crypto market, following a period of sideways consolidation, the divergence between bulls and bears is becoming concentrated at key price levels. **Bitcoin (BTC) Analysis & Strategy** * **Technical View:** The 4-hour chart suggests BTC is in a five-wave structure since the June 5th low near $59,100. Price action shows a short-term rising channel. The recent drop below this channel's lower boundary is now being followed by a pullback attempt (wave 40-41). The outcome of this retest is critical. * **This Week's Outlook:** The core focus is whether BTC can reclaim and hold above the channel's lower boundary. * **Bullish Scenario:** A successful hold could lead to a continued rebound, potentially challenging the $69,500 - $70,500 resistance zone. * **Bearish Scenario:** Failure to hold may trigger a renewed test of the $59,000 - $60,000 core support area, with $55,000 as a deeper support level. * **Operational Strategy:** The author maintains a 20% mid-term short position initiated last week near $64,500, based on a model signaling a shift to a bearish structure. Short-term tactics involve using 30% capital for potential "spread" trades, with three contingency plans (A, B, C) outlined for reacting to resistance tests, breakouts, or support breakdowns. **HYPE Analysis & Strategy** * **Technical View:** On the 4-hour chart, HYPE shows strong momentum, having recently broken to a new high since January. The current pullback presents a clear three-wave correction structure, bringing the price back to the critical $64 - $66 support zone. * **This Week's Outlook:** The focus is on the battle for the $64 - $66 support area. * **Bullish Scenario:** Holding this support could signal a continuation of the uptrend from the June 10th low, leading to new highs. * **Bearish Scenario:** A breakdown could extend the correction, potentially testing the deeper $52 - $54 support band. * **Operational Strategy:** The recommended short-term approach is "buy on dips, avoid chasing rallies." A light long position (under 30% capital) could be considered if HYPE shows stabilization signals at the $64-$66 or $52-$54 support zones, confirmed by model signals. Strict stop-loss discipline is emphasized. **General Risk Management:** A strict trailing stop-loss protocol is advised: set an initial stop; move to breakeven at +1% profit; lock in profits progressively thereafter. *Disclaimer: All analysis is presented as the author's personal technical perspective and trading log, not as investment advice. Markets are complex and dynamic; risk control is paramount.*

AI Agents Also Need 'Credit Checks': ERC-8126 is Filling the Gap in On-chain Trust

The article discusses ERC-8126, a proposed standard designed to address the lack of trust and verification for AI Agents operating on-chain. While ERC-8004 provides AI Agents with a basic on-chain identity (answering "Who are you?"), it does not guarantee trustworthiness. ERC-8126 aims to fill this gap by establishing a verification layer (answering "Are you reliable?"). It standardizes how independent verification providers can assess an agent's associated risks across five key areas: Token/Contract Verification (ETV), Media Content Verification (MCV), Solidity Code Verification (SCV), Web Application Verification (WAV), and Wallet Verification (WV). These providers generate a standardized risk score (0-100) and proofs based on their checks, without acting as a single authoritative certifier. This allows wallets, marketplaces, dApps, and other agents to consume these risk signals—for example, to display warnings, filter listings, or make interaction decisions. The standard also incorporates concepts like Private Data Verification (PDV) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) to allow verification without exposing sensitive underlying data. Positioned alongside ERC-8004 (Identity) and ERC-8183 (Commerce for agents), ERC-8126 represents a step toward building a verifiable and accountable infrastructure for the emerging on-chain AI Agent economy, shifting trust assessment from purely user-based judgment to standardized, consumable signals.

Rented Conviction: How Much Real Money Is Behind the Bitcoin ETF Flows

Borrowed Belief: How much of Bitcoin ETF flows are real money? Weekly Bitcoin ETF flows, often interpreted as a measure of institutional conviction, are heavily influenced by a hidden arbitrage trade rather than genuine directional buying. A cash-and-carry arbitrage, where traders buy the ETF while simultaneously shorting Bitcoin futures on the CME to lock in a basis spread (the price difference between futures and spot), drives roughly half of the week-to-week flow volatility. This delta-neutral activity appears as ETF inflows but is unrelated to price views. Data shows a strong correlation (0.70) between weekly ETF inflows and increases in hedge fund short positions on CME futures, while Bitcoin’s weekly price returns have almost no explanatory power. However, this arbitrage activity dominates short-term *fluctuations*, not the cumulative *stock* of investments. Of the total ~$55 billion in net ETF inflows since launch, only about $1 billion currently represents net arbitrage exposure. The vast majority consists of steady, directional buying averaging around $400 million per week. The arbitrage trade has been unwinding for two years, with hedge fund short positions peaking near $14 billion in late 2024 and declining to ~$4.5 billion. Recent ETF outflows partly reflect this ongoing unwind as the basis compresses, not a loss of faith in Bitcoin. Thus, ETF flows overstate the *volatility* of belief, not its *level*. The headline number is more a gauge of arbitrage desk activity than conviction. For accurate interpretation, monitor the CME basis relative to Treasury yields and hedge fund net shorts—these reveal how much of the reported “demand” is truly directional.
