BitGo 宣布将在 60 天内将 WBTC 管理权转交给与 BiT Global 的新合资企业以来,已经过去一周。此后,发生了许多事情:

→ BitGo 宣布了初步的 WBTC 保管方案,并在行业广泛表达担忧后进行了澄清。

MakerDAO 决定暂停对 WBTC 的新借贷。

Coinbase 宣布推出 cbBTC,一个竞争性的 WBTC 产品。

让我们深入探讨正在发生的事情、其重要性以及潜在的风险。

首先,提供一些背景信息:WBTC 是比特币和 DeFi 生态系统之间的重要桥梁。

自 2019 年以来,BitGo 一直是 WBTC 的主要保管人和代币发行方。

供应量:154.4K BTC

价值:92 亿美元

WBTC 被广泛用作主要 DeFi 协议中的抵押品。

WBTC 约占总 aaveaave 资本的 15%

Aave V3(以太坊):

供应量:22 亿美元,借贷量:9 亿美元 - Aave V3(Arbitrum):

供应量:2.13 亿美元,借贷量:9000 万美元

→ 对 WBTC 的任何更改都可能对 DeFi 的稳定性产生重大影响。

诱因:BitGo 宣布计划将 WBTC 的法律保管权转移至与 BiT Global 的合资企业,合作伙伴包括 JustinSunTronTronDAO 生态系统。

这一公告在加密社区引发了立即的警示。为什么呢?

让我们来分析一下原始提案及其引发的担忧。

BitGo 的原始保管提案(2024 年 8 月 9 日):

  • 3 个司法管辖区:美国、香港、新加坡

  • 2 个机构:BitGo Inc. 和 BiT Global

  • 2-of-3 冷存储多重签名

  • BitGo Inc.:1 把钥匙,BiT Global:2 把钥匙

BitGo 将 WBTC 移至多司法管辖区保管,以加速全球扩张计划

主要担忧是什么?

TronDAO 生态系统相关的 BiT Global 将在多重签名设置中控制两把钥匙。这引入了几个风险。

风险 #1:中心化

将一实体(BiT Global)控制两把钥匙,实际上使 WBTC 的权力集中化。

这违背了支撑 DeFi 的去中心化原则。

风险 #2:监管不确定性

Justin Sun 在加密世界的地位以及潜在的监管问题可能会使 WBTC 面临风险。

如果 BiT Global 遇到监管行动,可能会危及整个 WBTC 生态系统。

风险 #3:信任问题

加密社区对 WBTC 的信任对其在 DeFi 中的持续使用至关重要。

与有争议的人物相关联可能会侵蚀这种信任,可能导致 WBTC 大规模流失。

这些担忧并不仅限于理论。我们已经看到了现实世界的影响:

chaos_labs 已提出适度的建议以减少风险敞口,同时我们获取更多信息。

  • Aave

  • 很快还会向 Jupiter、GMX、Radiant、Venus、Seamless、Zerolend 等合作协议提出额外建议。

请注意,对一个具有如此广泛分布的资产进行退市的次级影响不容小觑,因此我们采取了适度的方法:多测量一次,意图只切一次。

MakerDAO 投票决定停止对 WBTC 的新借贷。

在一周内销毁了价值超过 3000 万美元的 WBTC。

对竞争产品如 tBTC 和 Coinbase 的新产品 cbBTC 的兴趣增加。

针对社区的强烈反响,BitGo 修订了其提案(2024 年 8 月 14 日)。

让我们看看新模型的细节。

BitGo 修订的保管模型(2024 年 8 月 14 日):

  • 仍然是 3 个司法管辖区:美国、香港、新加坡

  • 现在有 3 个机构:(1)BitGo Inc.,(2)BiT Global,(3)BitGo Singapore Ltd.

  • 2-of-3 冷存储多重签名

  • 每个机构在不同地点各自保管一把钥匙。

关键改进:引入 BitGo Singapore Ltd. 作为第三个密钥持有者。

这消除了一个机构持有多把钥匙的情况,解决了立即的中心化担忧。

但这能解决所有问题吗?并不完全。

仍然存在几个未解的问题和潜在风险。

未解问题 #1:BiT Global 的角色

尽管他们不再持有两把钥匙,但 BiT Global 在 WBTC 的保管中仍然扮演着重要角色。

我们对他们的运营和意图有什么保证?

未解问题 #2:监管合规性

每个实体(特别是 BiT Global 和 BitGo Singapore)在监管合规性方面的状况如何?

他们在各自的司法管辖区是否受到严格的监督?

未解问题 #3:审计和透明度

社区和 DeFi 项目将如何审计这一新设置?

有哪些措施确保对保管安排的持续透明?

未解问题 #4:应急程序

如果发生安全漏洞或针对某个密钥持有者的监管行动,确保包裹 BTC 安全的程序是什么?

WBTC 的情况突显了 DeFi 的一个关键方面:集中保管与去中心化金融之间的微妙平衡。

这提醒我们,即使在 DeFi 中,我们往往也依赖集中实体作为信任的支点。

BitGo 的提案对 DeFi 生态系统有更广泛的影响:

→ 可能加速更多去中心化 BTC 包装解决方案的发展。

→ 可能导致对所有包装资产的保管安排进行更严格的社区审查。

→ 可能促使 DeFi 协议多样化其基于 BTC 的抵押品选项。

展望未来,加密社区将密切关注:

  • BitGo 将如何实施并证明这一新保管模型的有效性?

  • 对 WBTC 的信心是否会完全恢复,还是我们会看到向替代解决方案的转变?

  • 主要 DeFi 协议将如何调整其风险模型以应对这一事件?

总之,虽然 BitGo 对社区反馈的反应值得赞扬,但 WBTC 的情况提醒我们:在加密和 DeFi 的世界中,保管至关重要。

资产保管的安全性、透明度和去中心化可以成就或毁灭整个生态系统。

作为 DeFi 领域的用户、开发者和投资者,我们有责任保持警惕,提出尖锐的问题,并追究项目的责任。金融的未来正在这些基础上构建。

你对 WBTC 的情况有什么看法?你认为这将如何影响 BTC 在 DeFi 中的未来?

A Group of Suzhou Engineers Unexpectedly Attain Financial Freedom

In Suzhou, a group of engineers from Lianxun Instruments, a leader in optical communication testing equipment, have achieved remarkable wealth after the company's IPO. Listed just two months ago on the STAR Market, the company's stock price surged approximately 30 times, making it the only A-share stock priced above 2,000 yuan. This surge created substantial fortunes for nearly 100 technical employees who held a collective 15.91% stake through employee stock ownership platforms, valued at over 36 billion yuan at the current market cap. Among them, nearly 40 became billionaires, while even the smallest holdings exceeded 5 million yuan in value. Founded in 2017 by Hu Haiyang, Yang Jian, and Huang Jianjun, Lianxun Instruments was established to address China's reliance on foreign high-end testing instruments. The company grew rapidly with a strong focus on R&D, where technical staff make up nearly 80% of its workforce. Early implementation of employee stock plans helped retain this core talent. The company's explosive growth is fueled by booming AI computing demand, with clients including major global optical module leaders. Its revenue skyrocketed from 276 million yuan in 2023 to 1.194 billion yuan in 2025, turning a profit in 2024. The IPO has also generated massive returns for early investors, including Suzhou's state-owned capital, which saw a hundredfold return. This story reflects a broader trend in China's markets, where technology firms in AI, semiconductors, and optics are creating new wealth, rewarding engineers and technical teams who are now central to modern capital-driven success stories, marking a shift from previous eras dominated by internet and real estate tycoons.

NVIDIA's Annual 'Most Dangerous' Paper: AI Self-Replicating Code, Unlimited Leveling and Evolution

NVIDIA's "Red Queen Gödel Machine" (RQGM) paper proposes a potentially groundbreaking AI self-evolution framework. It breaks from the long-stalled concept of the "Gödel Machine," which required mathematically proven beneficial self-modifications, by adopting an evolutionary approach. The core, and most striking, innovation is that the AI does not just evolve its own code in a static environment. Instead, it co-evolves both the "student" (the task-performing agent) and the "examiner" (the evaluation system that judges it). This creates a dynamic, recursive self-improvement loop inspired by the biological "Red Queen Hypothesis"—where continuous adaptation is needed just to maintain relative fitness. The mechanism operates in epochs. Within an epoch, a fixed examiner evaluates all candidate code variants. At epoch boundaries, a new, potentially more rigorous examiner can replace the old one, but only if it proves statistically superior on a held-out "ground truth" dataset. This "controlled utility evolution" aims to ensure progress is measurable and grounded. The paper demonstrates RQGM's effectiveness across three domains: 1. **Code Generation:** It achieved a 71.7% test-set pass rate (improving over a 69.9% SOTA) while using 1.35-1.72x fewer computational tokens. 2. **Paper Writing:** In a subjective task, the co-evolved writer and reviewer achieved a 40.5% acceptance rate by a fixed human panel, up from 21.8%. 3. **Math Proofs:** It evolved more accurate graders (at 3x lower cost) and higher-scoring provers. Notably, RQGM also mitigated a known LLM bias where AI reviewers favor AI-generated content. By specifically rewarding reviewers that correctly rejected AI-written papers from a historical pool, the evolved system achieved impartiality while maintaining 80% accuracy. The research has sparked significant discussion about the acceleration of Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI). Some, like Anthropic's Jack Clark, have predicted a high probability of highly autonomous, self-evolving AI emerging by 2028. The paper suggests that when an AI begins to design its own evaluators and push itself toward ever-higher standards in a recursive loop, it may be taking a fundamental step toward redefining intelligence and autonomy.

Apple and the Power Rebalancing with 'The Microns': Dissecting the Profit Ledger Behind the iPhone

The article analyzes the shifting profit dynamics and power balance between Apple and memory suppliers like Micron within the iPhone supply chain. It highlights a social media post criticizing Apple for raising iPhone prices while blaming memory chip cost increases, despite historically paying suppliers like Micron very little. An estimated iPhone 18 cost breakdown is referenced. Historically, memory was a minor cost component. In 2017's iPhone X, memory accounted for only about 1.6-2.3% of the price, with Apple capturing nearly 50% net profit. Over time, memory's share of the Bill-of-Materials (BOM) cost has grown significantly, reaching an estimated 12-15% for the iPhone 17 series. The core driver of this change is soaring demand for memory from the AI industry, particularly for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and AI servers, which is diverting production capacity and squeezing supply for consumer electronics. Memory manufacturers, after enduring periods of low profits, now hold greater pricing power. This is reflected in their recent strong financials, like Micron's 84.6% gross margin. Apple CEO Tim Cook initially described the memory price pressure as unprecedented in his 40-year career, later calling it a "once-in-a-century flood," before Apple announced price hikes across several product lines, causing a significant stock drop. Elon Musk echoed Cook's sentiment about the dramatic cost surge. The article concludes that the era of memory suppliers being at the mercy of Apple's pricing power has temporarily reversed, thanks to AI-driven demand. It notes Apple is reportedly seeking to diversify its supply chain, including exploring chips from China's CXMT.

Conversation with the Founder of 42 Macro: The Fed's 'Boiling the Frog Slowly' and the K-Shaped Economy

In a conversation with Anthony Pompliano, Darius Dale, founder of 42 Macro, discusses the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and the K-shaped U.S. economy. Dale characterizes new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh as a "dove in hawk's clothing," expecting the Fed to signal or enact policy tightening in the coming quarters to create room for later easing. He argues current economic signals, including high deficit spending, debt monetization, and credit growth, strongly indicate inflation is not on a credible path back to 2%, forcing the Fed to act. The discussion highlights the stark "K-shaped" economic reality. While top earners, buoyed by massive cash savings (up ~$8 trillion since pre-pandemic), continue robust spending, those at the bottom face severe financial strain, with delinquency rates on consumer loans reaching crisis-era highs. Dale attributes much of the current social and political anxiety to this divergence, driven by the "Cantillon effects" of monetary expansion, which disproportionately benefits asset owners. He emphasizes that in this environment of "financial repression," individuals must participate in asset markets to avoid being left behind. On equities, Dale notes a rotation from the "Magnificent Seven" tech giants into broader AI-exposed companies, while warning that the tech giants' massive capital expenditure cycles could eventually puncture over-optimistic cash flow projections. Dale concludes by stressing that the core desire across all economic strata is simply the dignity to provide for one's family, a goal currently undermined by systemic policies that act as a "wealth siphon" from the bottom to the top.
