杜罗夫被捕 投资TON超1亿美元的Pantera还能撑得住吗

Telegram 创始人 Pavel Durov 被拘留的消息在加密风险投资领域引起了不小的反响,该领域一些最大的参与者已经投资了与该消息应用程序密切相关的数字代币。

Pantera Capital Management、Animoca Brands 和 Mirana Ventures 是十多家投资 Toncoin 的公司之一,Telegram 使用其区块链来处理即时支付等事务。知情人士表示,最大的加密风险投资基金之一 Pantera 今年早些时候向 Toncoin 投资了超过 1 亿美元。

这些资金被一种迷惑加密货币的想法所吸引:Telegram 将变成类似于中国微信的数字资产“超级应用”,其 9 亿用户依赖 Toncoin 进行从支付到玩基于区块链的游戏等所有事情。从 2 月到 7 月初,该代币飙升了四倍,其区块链 TON 上锁定的资产短暂超过 10 亿美元。

但杜罗夫因被指控在 Telegram 上打击犯罪力度不够而被拘留,这暴露了其风险。杜罗夫周三被指控参与传播儿童色情图片以及在该应用上贩毒等其他犯罪行为。Telegram 在周日的一份声明中表示,它遵守欧洲法律。

8 月 24 日杜罗夫在巴黎郊外被捕后,Toncoin 暴跌约 20%,随后收复了部分跌幅。数据提供商 DefiLlama 称,TON 锁定的总价值已降至 5.73 亿美元。

今年 TON 网络上锁定的资产总价值大幅下降

“大多数投资者认为,该应用本身显然会促进和推动 Toncoin 网络的采用,或者至少是播下种子,”加密风险投资公司 1kx 的创始合伙人 Lasse Clausen 表示。“现在我们遇到了黑天鹅事件,该公司本身及其创始人可能会对未来产生一些疑问。”

总锁定价值 (TVL) 是区块链用于其既定目的的指标,无论是游戏还是去中心化金融应用。

向 Toncoin 投入资金的风险投资投资者(通常签订了至少一年内不出售的协议)现在正试图评估法国针对 Durov 的举动是否会导致用户逃离 Telegram。该应用在加密圈流行起来,很大程度上是因为监管方式过于松懈,这让他陷入了法律麻烦。

Pantera 称 Toncoin 是其最大的一笔投资,但并未透露具体金额。这家总部位于加州门洛帕克、管理着近 50 亿美元的公司发言人没有回复寻求评论的电子邮件和电话。负责管理区块链的 TON 基金会在一封电子邮件中表示,该基金会从未筹集过资金。Animoca Brands 没有就其投资发表评论,Mirana Ventures 也没有立即回应询问。

一些 Toncoin 支持者看到了机会。联合创始人 Eugene Ng 表示,投资该代币的加密货币做市商 DWF Labs 在周末价格暴跌后在公开市场上花费了“数百万美元”购买 Toncoin。

代币交易、流动资金

风险投资公司和其他加密基金对 TON 等项目进行的场外投资被称为“代币交易”,因为投资者获得的是代币而不是传统股权,而且这是加密货币领域独有的。为了实施这些交易,风险投资家通常会设立单独的工具,称为流动资金,旨在在较短的时间内持有资产。由于许多代币交易都是双边进行的,因此没有可靠的估计来衡量其流行程度。

对于风险投资公司及其投资者来说,代币有几个优势,最明显的是代币往往涉及更快的退出。一种常见的结构是代币在 12 个月后开始解锁,之后投资者可以逐渐出售它们。Clausen说,代币的波动也让支持者能够更及时地了解项目的进展情况。

“如果你是一个拥有股权的传统风险投资者,成熟期大约需要 8 到 10 年,所以你真的有很多年的时间,公司只是在做他们的事情,”他说。

代币交易也可能涉及大幅折扣。知情人士表示,Pantera 当时以低于市场价格 40% 的价格收购了 Toncoin,由于条款是保密的,这位知情人士要求不具名。以 5 月份宣布交易时 6.32 美元的平均价格计算,这笔投资仍将轻松盈利。

Toncoin 已扭转今年的部分涨势

这位知情人士表示,Pantera 的锁定期为一年,之后它可以在几年内分批出售 Toncoin。

代币投资的另一面是资产极不稳定——当投资变坏时,它会立即显现出来。基金通常会定期按市价计价其持有的资产,这意味着大幅下跌会立即出现在给有限合伙人的报告中。

很少有例子比 2022 年 5 月 Do Kwon 的 TerraUSD 稳定币项目的崩溃更能说明这种风险。就在几个月前,包括 Three Arrows Capital 和 Jump Crypto 在内的投资者购买了超过 10 亿美元的 Luna,这是一种用于稳定 TerraUSD 的代币。当 TerraUSD 崩溃时,Luna 变得一文不值。Three Arrows 不久后破产,引发了整个加密行业的一系列失败。

Warsh's First Conundrum: Rate Cuts, Inflation, and a Fractured Fed

Walsh's First Dilemma: Rate Cuts, Inflation, and a Divided Fed Kevin Warsh officially assumed the Fed Chairmanship on May 15th, inheriting a central bank deeply divided over inflation. Contrary to market expectations of a dovish stance due to his appointment by President Trump, Warsh's historical record shows early and consistent hawkish concerns about inflation. The Fed he leads is fractured, with three FOMC members recently dissenting against even hinting at future rate cuts. The immediate challenge is surging inflation. While the Iran-related oil shock is a temporary factor, core CPI and services inflation are accelerating, showing signs of becoming entrenched—echoing the Fed's 2022 "transitory" misstep. Warsh faces the task of building consensus within a committee where several members believe policy may not be restrictive enough, especially if the neutral interest rate (r-star) is higher than currently estimated. Politically, Warsh is caught between Trump's desire for rate cuts and the economic reality of persistent price pressures. Any move perceived as bowing to political pressure could undermine Fed independence. Market implications are significant. Long-term Treasury yields (e.g., 30-year at 5.19%) could rise further, especially if the June FOMC statement hints at possible tightening. Tech stocks face continued valuation pressure from higher rates. The key variable is progress in Iran negotiations; a breakthrough before the June meeting could temporarily ease oil-driven inflation, but stubborn services inflation would remain. All eyes are on Warsh's first post-FOMC press conference on June 17th. His wording on inflation and policy will reveal how much the market has mispriced his stance and the Fed's likely path forward.

Harvard and Others Exit, Six Core Talents Depart in a Month: What's Happening to Ethereum?

Ethereum faces significant internal and external pressures, marked by a wave of high-profile departures from its core development team and a loss of confidence from major institutional investors. Within four months, at least seven key figures—including researchers, protocol leads, and a former executive director—have left the Ethereum Foundation. This exodus, partly triggered by controversy over a new "mission statement" requiring employee sign-off, risks derailing critical roadmap upgrades like PeerDAS and Verkle trees, and has already contributed to delays in the planned Glamsterdam upgrade. Compounding the internal instability, major institutions are reducing their exposure. Goldman Sachs slashed its iShares Ethereum Trust holdings by approximately 70%, and Harvard's endowment fund completely exited its $87 million Ethereum ETF position. Concurrently, the Ethereum Foundation itself has been unstaking and selling ETH for "treasury rebalancing," further unsettling the market. These challenges emerge as Ethereum's competitive dominance erodes. Its share of the total DeFi market has fallen to around 54%, with rivals like Solana and Base gaining ground. In fee revenue, it was recently outpaced by newer chains like Hyperliquid. Furthermore, a trend of institutions exploring proprietary or hybrid blockchains (exemplified by Circle's Arc) threatens Ethereum's position as the premier settlement layer for institutional assets. While founder Vitalik Buterin's vision for Ethereum as a secure, decentralized "technical sanctuary" and "world computer" remains clear, its realization is threatened by the concurrent loss of execution capability, institutional patience, and market share during a critical competitive phase.

IOSG | After the Halving of Developer Count: Crypto Isn't Dead, It's Just Handing Over Talent to AI

IOSG Report: Crypto's Developer Exodus Masks a "Talent Deleveraging" and Migration to AI The number of monthly active crypto developers on GitHub has roughly halved from its 2022 peak to around 23,000. This decline is not a sign of industry collapse but a "talent deleveraging." The exodus consists largely of newcomers who entered during the bull market, while the cohort of established developers (2+ years of experience) has grown to a record high, now contributing about 70% of the code. These core builders are consolidating in ecosystems with real users and activity, like Bitcoin and Solana. The crypto industry has forged a unique skill set: building operational, trusted systems from scratch in environments with no external authority, near-zero tolerance for error, and missing rules. This involves creating trust through pure code/mechanisms and making judgments under profound technical and economic uncertainty. This capability is finding new, high-value applications in the AI era, which faces structurally similar problems: trust in opaque autonomous systems, a lack of governance frameworks, and coordination among self-interested AI agents. Key migration patterns include: 1. **Direct Hardware/Infrastructure Translation:** Projects like CoreWeave pivoted from GPU mining to AI compute supply. 2. **Mechanism Design & Trust Engineering:** Crypto's experience in decentralized coordination and incentive design (e.g., via tokenomics, staking/slashing) is being applied to critical AI challenges: * **Compute Aggregation & Verification:** Solving trust and efficiency problems in decentralized GPU networks (e.g., Hyperbolic). * **AI Agent Governance:** Using cryptoeconomic mechanisms to align the behavior of multiple autonomous AI agents (e.g., EigenLayer's approach). * **Autonomous Agent Payments:** Leveraging stablecoins and programmable money for fast, permissionless micro-transactions between AI agents (e.g., x402 protocol). The builder's role is evolving from "writing smart contracts" to "designing trust mechanisms for autonomous AI systems." This convergence is reflected in hiring trends at major firms and significant capital allocation from top venture funds like Paradigm and a16z into the crypto-AI intersection. While regional approaches differ—with the US focusing more on foundational protocol innovation and Asia on application-layer integration—the core thesis remains: the systemic skills honed in crypto's trustless environments are becoming a scarce and critical asset for scaling AI.
