Pantera Capital:黑天鹅的缺席,就是本轮牛市最大的利好

编者按:昨夜至今晨,加密市场再次迎来行情突变,BTC 一度突破 57000 美元,单日大涨 10% 。值此关键时刻,许多投资者都在努力寻找各类利多信号,试图为 BTC 的突然上涨寻找答案,但 Odaily星球日报却发现 Pantera Capital 在近期发布的一篇报告《The Absence of Bad Things》中提供了一种很别致的思路 —— 当前市场最大的特点在于找不到任何利空事件,这本身就是最大的利好。

以下为 Pantera Capital 报告总述部分内容,由 Odaily 星球日报编译。

Pantera Capital:黑天鹅的缺席,就是本轮牛市最大的利好

去年六月,我在彭博投资大会(Bloomberg Invest Conference)与美国证券交易委员会(SEC)前主席 Jay Clayton 一起就银行危机、宏观市场以及区块链进行了讨论。

在讨论结束之际,主持人问了我一个问题:“我们应该留意哪些潜在的黑天鹅事件?”

我当时的回答是:“在黑天鹅发生之前,每个人都会选择忽视,一旦发生了,大家又会想着讨论‘下一个(黑天鹅)会是什么’。在我看来,目前最好的消息就是我们在过去一年间已见证了所有潜在黑天鹅的落地,不会再有什么更疯狂的事情发生了……如果你非要让我说些什么,我只能说监管态度是没人预料到的,这可能导致好几种不同的结果。”

关于当前的市场状况,一个非常重要的主题就是坏消息的缺席。

在 2022 年和 2023 年的大部分时间里,各种罕见到疯狂的坏消息不停地在出现。

全球宏观市场经历了史无前例的波动。专门从事历史投资回报相关研究的圣塔克拉拉大学名誉教授 Edward McQuarrie 曾表示, 2022 年是美国债券投资者经历过的最差年份 —— “即使你回溯 250 年,也找不到比 2022 年更糟糕的一年。”

2022 年也是“经典 60/40 股债组合”自大萧条以来表现最糟糕的一年。

私募市场所遭受的影响更大,这直接影响了我们的风投业务。与上一年相比,IPO 募资总额减少了 95% ,交易量则减少了 85% 。

加密货币市场同样无法幸免,FTX 的暴雷以及六家借贷机构荒谬的杠杆操作导致加密货币总市值缩水了逾 70% 。

在我看来,这些本都应该是一代人才会遇见一次的疯狂事件。在接下来的 10 年或 15 年里,不会再有人给加密货币对冲基金借款,尤其是那些没有抵押物、业务不透明的机构,但凭借我超过 25 年的周期性观察经验,再往下一代肯定会有人再次这么做。

下面是区块链历史上灾难性事件的直观视觉展现。

这些黑天鹅并没有杀死加密货币,而它们的缺席,反过来则成为新一轮周期的巨大利好。

还有另一项巨大的利好,加密货币行业之前面临的一些监管障碍已经消除,特别是对于那些希望基于该新兴资产类别进行构建的金融机构而言。

过去一年间,Ripple、Grayscale 的胜诉以及 ETF 的获批都预示着区块链领域的监管环境可能正在趋于明朗。

自一月份比特币现货 ETF 获批上线之后,机构端的采用速度看起来似乎已在加速。

鉴于比特币还将在 2024 年 4 月底迎来减半,我们相信这些利好的相互作用将推动 BTC 走向下一轮牛市。

此外,区块链行业可能正在经历从“拨号上网”向“宽带”时代的跃迁。我们可以通过以太坊 Layer 2 和其他高性能 Layer 1 的增长上见证这一跃迁,这将是我们三月投资者沟通的主要内容,且将成为我们下一次主题研讨会的焦点。

Pantera Capital 聚焦于加密货币行业的时间可能比任何公司都长 —— 超过十年,见证了多次牛熊轮回。我们已经经历了三个完整的周期,见证了多次暴涨与暴跌。我们认为,市场现在正处在第四个大周期的开端。

2022 年的股市崩盘对机构投资者造成了巨大的冲击,许多机构已撤出私募市场。现在,随着股市重回历史高点,它们将会再次杀回私募市场,因此我认为,在接下来的 18 到 24 个月,加密货币市场很可能会迎来一波强劲的牛市。

当前正是一个转折性时刻,过去几年金融市场和区块链领域的创伤已经成为过去,同时减半和监管趋缓等积极因素也都在同时发生,这一切都预示了未来的发展方向。

Soaring Export Data for Memory Chips, Market Is Redefining the Valuation Anchor for Memory Stocks

Korean storage export data for the first 20 days of June shows substantial year-on-year increases in both value and price-per-kilogram for categories like DRAM, NAND, and SSDs. This signals a potential shift beyond simple demand recovery, indicating rising prices and a product mix shift towards higher-value items, possibly influenced by AI infrastructure needs. A key point is that the surge in price-per-kilogram is not simply a uniform chip price hike. It reflects a combination of actual price increases and, more importantly, an export structure increasingly dominated by high-value-density products like HBM (High-Bandwidth Memory) and advanced DRAM, which are critical for AI servers. This suggests AI-driven demand may be spilling over from just HBM into broader memory markets. SK Hynix stands to benefit directly due to its leading HBM position. For Samsung and Micron, the implication is potential for greater margin elasticity if the tightness in high-end memory spreads to enterprise SSD and NAND prices. However, the storage sector remains cyclical. Risks include supply expansion, inventory changes, and potential slowdowns in broader AI capital expenditure. Ultimately, while the strong export data supports upward revisions for storage company earnings and fuels discussion of an "AI infrastructure bottleneck premium," a definitive valuation shift from a cyclical to a structural story depends on upcoming quarterly reports. Investors need confirmation from SK Hynix, Samsung, and Micron that improvements in average selling prices, product mix, and, crucially,毛利率 are sustained over multiple quarters.

Why Does SpaceX Have Such a High Valuation Ceiling? The Answer Lies in Musk's Business Blueprint

SpaceX achieved a record-breaking IPO on June 12, 2026, with its market cap surging past $2.1 trillion. This valuation reflects its central role within Elon Musk's expansive, interconnected technological ecosystem. The article details how four core components form a synergistic closed-loop system: 1) **The "Brain" (xAI & Orbital Compute):** xAI provides AI models and massive ground/space-based supercomputing for simulation and decision-making across the system. 2) **The "Neural Logistics Core" (Starlink & Starship):** Starlink's low-latency satellite network enables global data transmission, while Starship's low-cost, reusable launch capacity aims to make large-scale space deployment economically viable. 3) **The "Physical Body" (Tesla & Optimus):** Tesla's manufacturing prowess and energy products support hardware production and power, pivoting toward mass-producing the Optimus humanoid robot for terrestrial and potential space-based labor. 4) **The "Human Interface" (Neuralink & X):** Neuralink seeks direct brain-computer communication, and the X platform provides real-time societal data. Together, these elements create three reinforcing "flywheels": manufacturing/logistics, data-driven iteration, and energy/compute/network synergy. This integrated approach promises lower costs, faster innovation cycles, and potential infrastructure-as-a-service offerings. However, it also concentrates technical, regulatory, and corporate governance risks. Ultimately, SpaceX's high valuation stems from its position as the indispensable infrastructural backbone—handling space transport, global communications, and future orbital computing—tying together Musk's entire vision for a self-reinforcing technological empire.

Snap, Unprofitable for Nine Years, and a Decade-Long AR Obsession Without Return

Snap's AR Obsession: A Decade of Betting Against the Odds On June 16, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel unveiled the new AR glasses, Specs, priced at $2,195, causing the company's stock (SNAP) to plummet nearly 10%. The launch was met with intense criticism online, with investors questioning why a consistently unprofitable company would stake its future on an expensive product its core young user base can't afford. Snapchat, known for pioneering features like ephemeral Stories and popular AR lenses (like the iconic dog filter), has a history of innovation often copied by rivals like Instagram and Meta. Despite this, it has struggled to translate first-mover advantage into commercial success. Since its 2017 IPO, Snap has reported annual net losses, with a Q1 2026 loss of $89 million. Its stock is down 94% from its 2021 peak, hampered by iOS privacy changes, competition, and a young demographic less attractive to major advertisers. In this challenging context, Spiegel is doubling down on AR. He calls 2026 a "crucible moment," having recently laid off 16% of staff while reportedly investing over $3.5 billion cumulatively in its AR glasses line over nearly a decade. The new Specs represent a significant leap from the 2016 camera-focused Spectacles, offering true AR overlays, gesture control, and standalone operation. However, at $2,195, it faces tough comparisons. While more advanced than Meta's $799 Ray-Ban smart glasses, critics point to its heavier weight, short battery life, and features largely replicable by a smartphone. Facing pressure from investors to cut losses on the Specs project, Spiegel has refused, framing it as essential to Snap's long-term vision. The company finds itself in a paradoxical position: cutting costs while heavily funding a decade-long, unproven bet. Some see Specs as an awkward but necessary step in AR's evolution, akin to early mobile phones. Whether Spiegel is a visionary outlier or a gambler destined to fail remains an open question, highlighting the tension between long-term ambition and short-term market demands.

Annualized Revenue Exceeds $20 Billion, Kalshi Aims to Become the First Prediction Platform IPO?

Kalshi, a leading U.S. prediction markets platform, is reportedly in early, informal discussions for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). The company's annualized revenue now exceeds $2 billion, fueled by its dominance of over 90% of the domestic prediction market activity. This growth stems from a surge in trading volume—reaching a total of $52.7 billion—and an increase in fee rates, largely driven by sports event contracts like the NBA playoffs and the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Monthly active users are approximately 2 million. Kalshi recently raised $1 billion in a funding round led by Coatue Management, valuing the company at $22 billion. It has also expanded its offerings to include Bitcoin perpetual contracts and plans to launch a dedicated trading platform, Kalshi Pro. However, Kalshi's path to an IPO faces significant regulatory hurdles. The core risk involves jurisdictional conflicts, as multiple U.S. states are challenging its operations under local gambling laws. For instance, Arizona has filed criminal charges against the platform, while states like Kentucky have filed lawsuits. Kalshi and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) argue that its event contracts fall under exclusive federal jurisdiction as "swaps." The outcomes of these ongoing legal battles could critically impact Kalshi's core revenue and its IPO timeline. Analysts suggest that while an IPO could theoretically occur by late 2026, a more likely timeframe is late 2027 or 2028, contingent on resolving legal issues and favorable market conditions. If successful, its fundraising could significantly exceed $1 billion, given its current valuation and revenue multiple.
