根据 Crypto.com 最新的市场规模报告,今年上半年全球加密货币市场持有量大幅增加。

持有者数量从 2023 年底的 5.8 亿增加到 6 月的 6.17 亿,增长了 6.4%。增长主要得益于比特币和以太坊生态系统的关键发展,特别是与这两种数字资产挂钩的现货交易所交易基金的推出。

比特币 (BTC) 仍然是占主导地位的加密货币,持有量增长 5.9%,到年中达到 3.14 亿,占所有加密货币持有者的 51%。

与此同时,以太坊 (ETH) 的采用率大幅增长,增长了 9.7%,使 ETH 持有者总数达到 1.36 亿,占全球市场的 22%。

增长动力

报告称,两大事件推动了 BTC 采用率的上升。美国现货比特币 ETF 的推出和 4 月份比特币第四次减半都发挥了关键作用。

减半事件将矿工的区块奖励从 6.25 BTC 降至 3.125 BTC,增强了比特币作为“数字黄金”的吸引力,并吸引了大量机构投资者的兴趣。报告估计,有 38.8 万至 160 万个人通过美国现货 ETF 投资了 BTC,进一步推动了其采用率。

以太坊的增长主要源于 3 月份的 Dencun 升级,该升级显著降低了以太坊第 2 层 (L2) 网络的交易费用。此次升级增强了以太坊的可扩展性,导致 L2 活动激增,目前占以太坊网络上所有交易的约 90%,高于升级前的 77%。

此外,以太坊 DeFi 生态系统中的流动性再质押计划推动 DeFi 的总锁定价值 (TVL) 在第一季度达到 1000 亿美元,几乎比上一季度高出 2 倍。

机构采用

报告强调了 3 月和 4 月的强劲增长,月度涨幅分别为 1.7% 和 1.6%,恰逢比特币减半和 Dencun 升级。在此期间,机构投资者在比特币的持续增长中发挥了关键作用,截至 6 月底,美国现货比特币 ETF 吸引了超过 140 亿美元的资金流入。

以太坊还受益于机构兴趣的增加,尤其是在美国证券交易委员会放弃对 ETH 的调查以及监管机构批准现货 ETH ETF 之前——这两者都增强了投资者对以太坊和整个市场的信心。最初的兴趣激增导致 ETH 价格在 6 月份上涨至 3,900 美元。

自各自推出以来,现货 ETF 表现不俗,比特币相关基金在 ETF 市场上创下了多项纪录。

然而,尽管上半年市场增长显著,但由于宏观经济压力加大以及中东地缘政治局势恶化,市场近几周仍难以突破历史高点。

截至发稿时,BTC 交易价格为 59,121 美元,ETH 交易价格为 2,612 美元——均较今年的最高价格大幅下跌。

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.
