投机热潮即将落幕?比特币正“闪烁”多个看跌信号!

摩根大通策略师表示,使比特币进一步上涨的最令人期待的催化剂之一,最终可能会压低这一最大加密货币的价格

这一催化剂便是比特币的“减半”事件,指矿工产出新区块后所获得的奖励大约每隔四年减半一次。这意味着减产后,每挖出一个区块,其对应的比特币奖励都只有减半前的奖励的一半。

目前,比特币已经进行了三次“减半”,分别发生在2012年11月、2016年7月和2020年5月。第四次比特币减半时间预计将发生在2024年5月。届时,比特币产量将会由现在的6.25枚减半到3.125枚。

结合1月份批准的比特币现货ETF的需求飙升,倡导者称这将导致供应短缺。比特币今年上涨了约45%,至62000美元左右。

从历史上看,比特币的价格在“减半”之后会上涨,是因为所谓的矿工生产成本是该资产价格的下限。摩根大通的策略师表示,比特币的平均生产成本目前为26500美元,简单来算,“减半”后这一成本将翻番,至53000美元

然而,随着挖矿难度的增加,一些小型矿工被将迫退出,挖矿难度可能比最初估计的低20%,从而降低了生产成本。摩根大通策略师们周四写道,由于比特币的这一下限支撑下降,投资者可能会在4月后看到比特币价格回落至4.2万美元

摩根大通预计比特币的“生产成本”不会随着“减半”而翻倍

摩根大通策略师的预测基于两个关键假设。

首先,“减半”后,矿工的电力成本估计平均为每千瓦时5美分,这可能因地点和规模而异。

其次,随着比特币挖矿在4月份之后变得更加能源密集型,一些挖矿效率低且难以获得资金的生产商将退出市场,因为他们的生产成本超过了盈利能力,这将使哈希率(衡量该行业总挖矿能力的指标)下降约20%。

注:哈希率是挖矿的关键指标,指计算机进行哈希运算的速度。哈希率提高则会增加矿工成功挖掘交易区块并获得区块奖励的机会。

摩根大通策略师们写道:

“这20%的下降将使哈希率更接近历史趋势,将有效地将我们估计的生产成本范围的中值削减到4.2万美元。这也是我们设想的,一旦比特币减半引发的乐观情绪在4月后消退,比特币价格会走向的水平。”

不过,摩根大通策略师也指出,如果比特币的价格保持在高位,哈希值的下降可能不会成为现实。在上市矿商在2022年获得了更多的市场份额之后,第二年比特币价格的上涨吸引了较小的矿商重返该行业,因为效率较低的矿商也能有利可图。

随着越来越多的人通过新的比特币现货ETF投资比特币,继续吸引新的投资者,比特币价格的上涨可能会让规模较小的矿商即使在4月份供应减少后仍能保持盈利。

比特币闪烁多重看跌信号

一些交易员已经开始警告,称比特币现在这种惊人的增长速度是不可持续的

Galaxy Digital创始人Michael Novogratz在接受采访时表示,比特币最近的价格上涨已经使价格达到了“非常泡沫的水平”。他预计,在价格恢复攀升之前,会出现一次“回调”。

周四,比特币一度上涨5.12%,至63649美元,之后几乎没有变化。

此前的回调是在前一天动荡的交易时段之后发生的。比特币在周三飙升至63968美元的高位,之后在暴跌中回吐了大部分涨幅,跌至59000美元以下。

市场上的担忧是,比特币现货ETF的大幅资金流入是否导致公开市场上可供购买的比特币供应不足?根据Glassnode的数据,超过一半的流通比特币在两年多的时间里没有变化。

数字资产平台FRNT Financial首席执行官Stephane Ouellette等人表示,这种担忧可能被夸大了因为短期投资者已经开始抛售头寸。他表示,“加密货币从现在到全面牛市还有很长一段路要走,但对市场因流动性危机而崩溃的担忧似乎并不一定是真的。”

但可以肯定的是,比特币的上涨势头确实可能会停滞,甚至回调。根据CryptoQuant的数据,短期比特币持有者(指那些可能经常交易比特币的人,而不是长期投资者)的未实现利润率在最近的大幅拉升后处于极端水平。

这家研究公司在周四发布的消息中说,目前短期投资者的利润率在45%左右,任何高于40%的利润率都表明价格可能出现回调。

与此同时,在比特币永续期货中开设新的多头头寸的成本已十分高昂,这是比特币可能即将放缓的另一个迹象。

根据CryptoQuant的数据,比特币永续期货的融资利率处于2021年4月以来的最高水平。“从历史上看,当开设新多头头寸的成本过高时,比特币价格往往会暂停或经历一次调整,”该研究公司表示。

AC Exits Sonic Board, 'DeFi Godfather' Pulls Off Another Strategic Retreat

Andre Cronje, known as the "DeFi Godfather," and two other founding directors have stepped down from the Sonic Labs board. The S token, once valued at $1.03, has plummeted 97% to $0.028, and the chain's TVL has evaporated 98% from its peak. In his exit statement, Cronje clarified he was a technical architect, not a founder, and distanced himself from token economics and migration decisions behind the token's crash. Cronje revealed his focus for the past 18 months has been his new project, Flying Tulip. This project raised $200 million privately last year at a $10 billion valuation. Its token design includes a perpetual put option (ftPUT NFT) for early investors, allowing them to redeem their initial investment at any time—a protection not extended to public market buyers. This pattern mirrors Cronje's past exits from projects like Yearn Finance and Fantom, where he departed near peak hype, leaving later holders to bear significant losses. Sonic itself has seen a complete management overhaul in recent months. The article frames this as a microcosm of the broader crypto bear market, where Layer-1 chains are bleeding value. It highlights a harsh reality: a project's valuation is often tied to a founder's reputation rather than fundamentals. Ironically, Flying Tulip is set to launch first on the Sonic chain Cronje just left, underscoring a disconnect between the person and the platform.

Dialogue with KK, Founder of Hash Global: Do VCs Still Invest in Blockchain Games Now? What Kind of Projects Can Still Get Funding?

**Title: Dialogue with KK, Founder of Hash Global: Do VCs Still Invest in Blockchain Games? What Kind of Projects Can Still Get Funding?** **Summary:** KK, partner at Hash Global, discussed the evolving landscape of Web3 investment and blockchain games in a recent interview. He noted that the industry has moved past its initial hype phase into a more sober "second half," where VCs now prioritize core questions: Is the game actually fun? Does it have real users? Can it generate revenue? Key insights include: * **Web3 Investment Evolution:** The sector is increasingly adopting traditional investment logic, focusing on business models, value capture, and tangible worth over pure narrative. * **Blockchain Game Fundamentals:** The paramount criterion for any game is being genuinely fun and engaging. Web3 elements (like asset issuance and value distribution) should enhance an already solid product, not be a substitute for poor gameplay. Play-to-Earn is seen as a potential final stage, not a starting point. * **Current Investment Thesis:** Hash Global remains active in gaming, favoring projects with low barriers to entry, strong social/competitive elements, and the ability to generate real revenue (e.g., through ads, skins) like traditional Web2 games before scaling. Essential criteria are: 1) A fun core loop understandable without Web3 knowledge, 2) Web3 mechanisms that genuinely improve asset distribution and community participation, and 3) A capable, long-term-focused team with proven product-building experience. * **Team Focus:** The firm concentrates on investing in Chinese teams, leveraging cultural familiarity and judgment. * **Web3 Application Outlook:** Large-scale adoption may be accelerated by AI in areas with significant pain points in distribution (e.g., creator economy) or in "Non-Financial RWA" sectors like entertainment/culture. * **BNB Ecosystem:** Hash Global is bullish on BNB, viewing its ecosystem as significantly undervalued, with real users and global capital access. * **Investor Advice:** In the current bear market, KK expresses respect for new institutional investors entering Web3, as it indicates deep research rather than hype-chasing. A key lesson is managing pace—maintaining optimism tempered with realism to ensure longevity.

A New Player Enters at Third Place, Rothera Disrupts the Prediction Market Landscape

"Rothera Skyrockets to Third in Prediction Market Rankings, Disrupting Industry Landscape" Rothera, Robinhood's newly launched prediction market platform, has rapidly climbed to become the third-largest player in the sector by trading volume, trailing only giants Kalshi and Polymarket. Its growth is attributed not to attracting new users, but to migrating existing Robinhood user orders away from partner Kalshi. Previously, Robinhood served as a major distribution channel for Kalshi, accounting for an estimated 25%-35% of its volume. With the launch of Rothera, Robinhood now internally executes events like World Cup contracts, capturing revenue that was previously shared with Kalshi. Data shows Rothera's weekly trading volume surged from $21.9 million to $559 million within weeks, reaching nearly one-fifth of Polymarket's volume. Analysts estimate Robinhood's prediction market business could generate around $10 billion in annual revenue at this pace, potentially surpassing its historical crypto revenue peak. In response, Kalshi is reportedly exploring new distribution channels by engaging with investment banks for a potential IPO, requiring them to integrate their systems with Kalshi to access institutional clients. This shift highlights a new competitive focus in prediction markets: controlling user access and distribution channels rather than just product offerings.
