对行业的未来持乐观态度,但不期待会再次出现像四年前那样的泡沫。优秀的资产在未来几年会表现良好,并且我将所有的资本押注在这种预期上。

然而,行业中存在一个奇怪的想法:即使是毫无价值的资产也应该每四年以天文数字的估值进行交易。这种现象在2017年和2021年都发生过,所以有人认为2025年应该再次发生。我认为这种想法是错误的,并且阻碍了我们行业的发展。

我们可以将行业分为两种范式——基本面范式和周期性狂热范式。

基本面范式意味着你相信行业的长期愿景,但不期望代币的交易价格超过其内在价值。在这种范式下,投资者有动力与优秀的团队合作,在大市场中建立盈利的业务,而建设者则有动力专注于产品、客户和业务的基本经济学。另一方面,周期性狂热范式意味着投资者相信每四年会出现一次泡沫,忽略基本面。这种范式下的自然激励是把握市场时机,并在狂热开始时投资于具有叙事价值的代币。基本面和团队的长期努力不再重要,因为泡沫时期每种资产的价格都远超其内在价值。

许多投资者仍然在周期性狂热范式下运作,他们在未来几年会感到失望,因为基本面的策略表现良好,而叙事代币表现不佳。卖家太多,买家太少,2020年至2021年的情况不会再现。

2021年的泡沫是因为多个缺乏弹性的买家群体在一个几乎没有供应的市场上相遇。跨界基金在2020年至2021年间筹集了6300亿美元,积极投入加密货币市场。散户对这个行业充满信心。BTC、ETH和SOL价格的迅速上涨,以及其他试图复制这些涨势的一级代币,使得超级大户们也拥有1.5万亿美元的新资本。这些群体中的人们相信行业将在短期内兑现其承诺;他们认为链上金融将在未来几年内颠覆高盛,并且一切将在本世纪中叶之前建立在区块链的生态上。

由于只有少数创始人和早期风险投资者持有大量代币,而这些人无法卖出(部分原因是锁定期,部分原因是他们相信这个故事并有新资本可供投入),没有卖家来满足这种需求。市值逻辑表明,如果90%的代币被锁定,只有10%的代币以翻倍价格交易,总市值也会随之翻倍。因此,上一个泡沫期间市值的增长,主要是因为有太多买家从少数卖家手中购买了很少量的代币。

今天市场的结构完全不同。对于本地基金来说,筹集新资本变得更加困难。2023年的筹资减少了85%,2024年几乎没有恢复。跨界基金将缓慢回归,而随着消费者储蓄从2021年的超过2万亿美元降至2024年的负数,散户基本上已经消失。剩下的散户参与者宁愿投资于模因币(Meme Coin或垃圾),而不是嵌入了风险投资解锁的复杂基础设施叙事。大户们表现出对核心资产(如BTC、ETH和SOL)收益的偏好转变,而不是叙事代币。虽然有一群方向性的流动资金愿意购买代币,但与整体市场相比,他们规模较小,并且我们不想以高估值购买低质量资产。

在2023年底和2024年初,许多投资者试图抢在另一场狂热之前入场,导致叙事型代币价格上涨。问题是,大多数人购买的是他们并不真正相信的资产,希望能有人以更高的价格从他们手中买走这些资产。这批愚蠢的资金并未出现,市场拒绝了叙事型代币的真正牛市尝试。这些买家将不会出现,叙事型代币在未来几年将继续表现不佳。

我们正处于向基础观念转变的前夕,那些相信互联网金融体系愿景的人明白,我们仍处于资本主义历史上最大现金流机会之一的初期阶段。要从中受益,你只需努力工作,专注于基本面。

希望我们的行业能像2001年之后的硅谷那样发展。整个行业在接下来的几十年里蓬勃发展,但这仅仅通过努力工作、产品与市场的契合以及正确的风险评估来实现。像“点击率估值”和“眼球估值”这样的巫术估值技术在市场转向基于第一原则和基本经济学的估值时逐渐消失。在此期间,亚马逊、苹果和谷歌等公司建立了世界上最盈利的业务,几乎所有努力工作并专注于基本面的人都取得了成功。

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.
