「链抽象」短期内也会有 infra application 的叙事为主阶段。

@ParticleNtwrk 获得 Binance labs 投资的消息引发了市场热议。有人说这是 $PARTI 提前锁定币安的市场信号,我反倒想再次强化输出下观点:「链抽象」会成为「模块化」之后的大热门,VC、交易所热捧之外,整个赛道上下游配套已经耕耘许久了。

1)虽然链抽象和模块化同宗同脉,但模块化目标提高开发组合效率,能促进市场基建面的繁荣,链抽象的目标则是增强用户体验为快速扩大增量用户进场铺路。因此,二者本质上都是向 Crypto 注入生产力效能,「链抽象」更接地气一些,是「模块化」的下一站。

2)「链抽象」乍一看也是空泛的叙事,但链抽象走向前台说明市场开发资源已经很充分,竞争环境已然很严峻了。道理很简单,模块化只需选中 DA 层、Execution 层、interoperability 层等任意一个层,打一个差异化的点就可以勾勒出一番宏大盛景,链抽象显然不能够了。

「链抽象」需要在市场运营面、资源触达面、资金累积面、用户体验口碑面等都要出彩才行。Particle Network 就是其中一个佼佼者。

3)「链抽象」背后有很强的 web2「成熟」产品力输入。都在诟病过往 web3 世界的钱包、链、协议等还是「草台班子」,但随着 web 主流资本、人才的卷入,web2 的产品、运营、商业体系也都逐步向 web3 渗透。很长一段时间,这类产品以默默耕耘为主,不过「链抽象」叙事走向焦点叙事舞台,会给它们更多浮出水面的机会。

4)除了 Particle 之外,我随便再例举上下游几个项目:

1)@ProjectZKM 基于 ZK 技术做统一流动性聚合调动中心,抽象了 EVM 和 BTC 等 Non-EVM 的链的流动性;

2)@dappOS_com 推出了 Solver 执行网络,从应用服务端切入带动 intent 交易范式的转移;

3)@ApertureFinance 集成 intent 定制化交易体验,通过应用在 B 端机构和 C 端用户方向已经累积了庞大用户基础;

4)@cyclenetwork_GO 主打 Bridgeless 的全链流动性统一服务协议,也有币安孵化支持;

此外,还有很多诸如 @NEARProtocol ,@bentobatch ,@khalani_network 等做前端体验优化甚至集成 AI Agent 的应用和服务平台等等。

从 ERC4337 等标准上游到做统一流动性调度层的服务协议,再到已经直面消费市场在 B 端和 C 端都有用户受众累积的应用,整个链抽象赛道相较之下偏成熟一些,有更切实际的应用场景和完善的商业预期想象空间。(二级市场的估值标准也会有所不同。

整体而言,「链抽象」短期内也会有 infra > application 的叙事为主阶段,很多担心有 Fomo 出一堆协议和链来,重走模块化的老路,但链抽象需要综合实力的比拼,洗牌和竞争会更快,关键其背后反衬出来的行业演化方向和成熟产品力的推动进步意义不容小觑,值得长期关注挖宝。

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.

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.
