Криптоблаготворительность в действии: для пострадавших в Калифорнии собрано $2 млн

cryptonews.ruPublicado a 2022-05-12Actualizado a 2025-01-12

Платформа для благотворительных пожертвований The Giving Block запустила экстренный сбор средств для помощи пострадавшим от лесных пожаров в Лос-Анджелесе. Глава Shift4 — материнской компании The Giving Block — Джаред Айзекман (Jared Isaacman) пообещал удвоить собранную сумму.

Операционный директор The Giving Block Бен Пасти (Ben Pousty) отметил особые преимущества криптоблаготворительности: «Пожертвования в криптовалютах позволяют людям избежать налога на прирост капитала. Они могут потенциально вычесть полную рыночную стоимость из налогооблагаемой базы, направляя больше средств на важные для них цели».

Масштабные лесные пожары, охватившие Лос-Анджелес на этой неделе, унесли жизни по меньшей мере 11 человек и уничтожили более 12 000 зданий. Ожидается, что количество жертв возрастет, когда завершится проверка сгоревших домов. В пятницу чиновники открыли центр, где люди могут сообщить о пропавших без вести. Десятки тысяч людей по-прежнему находятся в эвакуации. Пожарами охвачено уже около 145 квадратных километров.

История благотворительных инициатив

В августе 2023 года платформа организовала фонд помощи пострадавшим от пожаров на Гавайях, добавив $500 000 собственных средств к собранным пожертвованиям. В 2024 году The Giving Block привлекла $1 млн для ликвидации последствий ураганов Хелен и Милтон на восточном побережье США.

Компания сотрудничает с тысячами некоммерческих организаций по всему миру, включая Американское онкологическое общество, группу защиты животных PETA и фонд No Kid Hungry. За все время работы платформы через нее было собрано около $200 млн в криптовалюте.

По данным отчета The Giving Block за 2023 год, объем пожертвований в криптовалютах может превысить $10 млрд в течение следующих 10 лет. Большинство пожертвований в 2022 году были сделаны в стейблкоине USDC.

Rented Faith: How Much of the Bitcoin ETF Inflows Is Real Money?

"Rented Conviction: How Much of Bitcoin ETF Flows Is Real Money" The weekly inflows into Bitcoin ETFs are often interpreted as a gauge of institutional belief. However, a significant portion of this activity is driven by a hidden arbitrage trade, not directional conviction. The core mechanism is a cash-and-carry arbitrage: traders buy spot Bitcoin (often via ETFs) while simultaneously shorting CME futures to lock in the price difference, or "basis." This delta-neutral trade is essentially an interest rate play. In weekly data, about half the fluctuation in ETF flows can be explained by new short positions added by leveraged funds (hedge funds), with a correlation of 0.70. Bitcoin's price movement in a given week shows no statistical power in predicting these flows. While this arbitrage trade drives weekly *volatility*, it is not the main component of the cumulative *stock*. Of the total ~$55 billion in net ETF inflows, the current net arbitrage position is only about $1 billion. The remainder is steady, directional buying averaging ~$400 million per week, which constitutes the vast majority of the accumulated "mountain" over two years. Thus, ETF flow data overstates the *volatility* of conviction, not its *level*. This arbitrage trade has been unwinding for nearly two years. Leveraged fund short positions peaked at ~$14 billion in late 2024 and have since declined to ~$4.5 billion. When the basis compresses to unprofitable levels, ETF inflows and short positions retreat together. Recent outflows should not be mistaken for a loss of faith but rather the routine unwinding of this rate trade. For Ethereum ETFs, the pattern is weaker. Accounting for staking yield makes the basis often negative, so neither strong conviction buying nor robust arbitrage supports its flows. To interpret ETF flows correctly, monitor the CME basis versus T-bill rates and leveraged fund net shorts. They reveal how much of the next "demand" headline is real. The real, patient buy-and-hold demand is what constitutes the enduring bulk of ETF assets.

Another $75 Million Raised: Why Are Top VCs Betting on FOMO Again?

FOMO, a social crypto trading app, raises $75M in Series B led by Index Ventures, with participation from USV and follow-on from Benchmark. The round values the company at $550M. Launched in beta in mid-2025, FOMO simplifies on-chain trading by eliminating gas fees for users, supporting multiple blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Base, BNB Chain), and enabling direct crypto purchases via Apple Pay or debit cards. The app features social functions allowing users to follow traders and view their activity. Key metrics show rapid growth: over 625,000 users, $4B+ in cumulative trading volume, and more than 110M social interactions. Notably, over 68,000 users made their first crypto purchase through FOMO using Apple Pay. The platform recently expanded into perpetual contracts trading for stocks, pre-IPO assets, crypto, indices, and commodities. The founding team, with backgrounds from dYdX, Uniswap, and OpenSea, initially raised a $2M pre-seed round from 140+ angel investors across the crypto ecosystem before securing a $17M Series A from Benchmark in late 2025. FOMO's strategy focuses on removing technical friction to drive mainstream adoption, positioning itself as a potential gateway between crypto and traditional finance.

Soaring Over Tenfold Within the Year: The Frenzy Over SK Hynix Leveraged Products

South China Morning Post The leveraged ETF tracking SK Hynix has surged over tenfold year-to-date, fueled by intense market speculation on the memory chip sector. By June 22, the value of the 'South Korea 2x Long SK Hynix ETF' listed in Hong Kong had skyrocketed by more than 1,061% since the start of the year, while its asset size exploded over twenty times from the end of last year. The rally is driven by AI-driven demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), with SK Hynix recently sampling its next-generation HBM4E product. However, industry professionals warn of significant risks. Leveraged ETFs magnify both gains and losses. During a recent market correction, while the underlying SK Hynix stock fell 19.1%, its double-leveraged ETF dropped nearly 38%. Korean regulators noted that such products could theoretically lose 60% in a single day. Additionally, these ETFs face risks like time decay in volatile markets, liquidity spirals during mass redemptions, and extreme price dislocations from market-making failures, as seen in early June when an ETF moved opposite to its underlying stock. The trading is predominantly driven by retail investors, with institutional capital largely absent due to the products' high volatility. Analysts caution that with the semiconductor sector at elevated valuations and facing geopolitical and supply chain uncertainties, leveraged ETFs pose a substantial threat of amplified losses for uninformed investors.

18 Months, Over 50x Surge: KIOXIA's Epic Comeback

KIOXIA, a NAND flash memory giant, staged a dramatic comeback driven by AI demand. After a period of significant losses, a failed merger, and missed HBM opportunities, its 2024 IPO began modestly. However, fueled by explosive demand for AI data storage, its stock price skyrocketed over 50 times within 18 months, making it Japan's most valuable company, surpassing Toyota. Its Q1 FY2026 profit guidance soared 30-fold year-over-year, with 2026 NAND capacity already sold out. Key to its success is its 3D NAND technology, BiCS FLASH. As the inventor of NAND, KIOXIA advanced its technology through generations, reaching over 200 layers by 2023. Key innovations include CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array), which separately manufactures control circuits and memory arrays for better performance, and OPS (On Pitch Select Gate) to increase density. The company is now developing high-capacity packages like an 8TB solution stacking 32 dies. Looking beyond NAND, KIOXIA is exploring 3D DRAM with its OCTRAM technology, using oxide semiconductor transistors for ultra-low leakage to reduce power consumption. This fundamental research differs from HBM and represents a long-term bet to extend its 3D expertise from NAND into future DRAM architectures. KIOXIA's story highlights how technological assets and shifting market cycles can rapidly transform a company's fortunes. While questions remain about sustaining growth beyond the current AI boom, its resurgence demonstrates that in semiconductors, being down does not necessarily mean being out.

Market Trends in U.S. Stocks (June 23): Peak at Listing? SpaceX Loses Over $800 Billion in Three Days, Tech Stocks Experience Severe Internal Divergence

Stock Market Trends (June 23): Did SpaceX Peak at IPO? The company loses over $800 billion in market value in three days as a sharp divergence unfolds within the tech sector. SpaceX's post-IPO decline of over 20%, falling below its first-day close, reflects a swift market repricing. The catalyst is a clear shift in narrative from "AI platform potential" to concerns over rising capital costs, as its $8.57 billion IPO and subsequent $20 billion debt offering are earmarked for acquisitions and refinancing existing bridge loans rather than de-leveraging. While high-valuation tech stocks like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft faced pressure, Micron surged nearly 7% to a record high following a strategic supply deal with Anthropic for HBM and memory, highlighting robust, tangible demand in AI infrastructure. The broader market saw funds rotate into more defensive industrial and financial names. Macro factors included a dip in oil prices to a three-month low on news of a US-Iran framework deal, though logistical hurdles for resuming full Strait of Hormuz shipments remain. Key events ahead include Nvidia's shareholder meeting, Micron's earnings, and the May PCE inflation data. The latter will be crucial in determining whether the sell-off in high-valuation growth stocks, which appears to have just begun, will persist.
