币界网报道:

Web3项目在第一季度筹集了19亿美元,资金流入了300多家企业的金库,其中包括DeFi和GameFi应用程序、发射台、基础设施项目和RWA协议。

虽然A16z、Pantera Capital和Galaxy Ventures等财力雄厚的风险投资公司负责大部分投资,但成功的项目本身就是在写支票,以推动各个领域的创新。

Web3玩家投资创新

无论是赠款计划、黑客马拉松还是传统的股权交易,Web3协议都采取了积极主动的方法,将一定比例的资源分配给有前途的概念和有才华的创始人。

以加密银行Xend Finance为例,该银行由币安和谷歌Launchpad共同支持。该平台的存在理由是真实世界资产,于7月31日推出了RWA黑客马拉松,旨在奖励在其原生资产链上构建的项目。虽然价值300万美元的投资已经摆在桌面上,但Xend还为开发者提供了各种现金奖励。黑客马拉松将持续到10月3日。

然后是Uniswap基金会,这是领先的去中心化交易所(DEX)Uniswap背后的非营利组织。第一季度,基金会承诺提供434万美元的新赠款,并从4141万美元的庞大国库中支付了279万美元的先前承诺赠款。

根据基金会的说法,其资助计划旨在“创建一个由开发人员、研究人员和治理贡献者组成的持久生态系统”,最终目标是定义“DeFi最重要协议的未来”

第三层区块链项目Orbs是另一个本身既是平台又是连续投资者的项目。Orbs将CeFi级别的执行引入DeFi平台,以提供卓越的链上交易体验,并进行了大量投资,特别是在利用其四种核心产品之一的项目上。

其中包括Liquidity Hub,一个用于DEX的去中心化优化层,Perpetual Hub,一套用于基于意图的链上永久期货交易的服务,以及dTWAP和dLIMIT,它们是允许DEX执行高级CeFi级别订单的协议。

多个整合上述一项或多项的项目已获得Orbs的战略投资,其中包括Fenix Finance,一家基于Blast网络的DEX,以及基于BNB Chain的交易所Thena,这两家公司都集成了Liquidity Hub,以获得更深层次的跨链流动性。

L3项目还向SYMMIO投资了100万美元,SYMMIO是一个衍生品结算层,帮助Orbs与IntentX一起开发了Perpetual Hub。有趣的是,IntentX——一个去中心化的链上场外衍生品交易所——去年也从Orbs获得了资金。

很容易看出为什么Orbs正在对有助于推广其技术的项目进行战略投资,而这一活动在Web3中有很多先例。我们只需要看看大型区块链,其中许多区块链都有自己的专用基金会和金库,专门用来说服开发人员在他们的网络上进行构建。

举个例子,以太坊支持计划为以太坊社区内的项目和实体(特别是开源项目)提供财务和非财务支持,目标是加速生态系统的增长。去年,它启动了不到500个项目,总价值超过6100万美元!

随着比特币现货ETF等监管突破,Web3空间吸引了机构投资者越来越多的关注,看看12个月后的筹资曲线会是什么样子,这将是一件有趣的事情。无论发生什么,一部分健康的投资肯定会继续来自内部。

Ethereum Is Retracing the Path of the Internet and Linux: No One Yields, and the Neutral Party Ultimately Prevails

This article argues that Ethereum is following the historical path of open, neutral systems like the Internet and Linux, which eventually triumphed over proprietary, centrally-controlled alternatives. Major financial institutions like JPMorgan, Stripe, and Circle are building their own proprietary blockchains or networks (e.g., Tempo, Arc), but will never agree to build on a competitor's controlled infrastructure. This creates the perfect opportunity for Ethereum as the only neutral, credibly neutral settlement layer that no single entity controls. The piece draws parallels to the 1990s, when experts like Bill Gates predicted proprietary networks (from Microsoft, Oracle) would win over the open Internet, and when Sun Microsystems' Unix lost to the open-source "bazaar" development model of Linux. This model, described in Eric Raymond's "The Cathedral and the Bazaar," thrives on permissionless innovation where countless contributors improve the system, outpacing any centralized competitor. Ethereum embodies this through its decentralized development, broad validator distribution, and credible neutrality—rules that are transparent, equally applied, hard to change, and open to all. This has attracted over a million developers and major institutions like Coinbase, BlackRock, and JPMorgan, who choose Ethereum for its security, ecosystem, and sovereignty (the inability of any single party to change the rules). While proprietary chains offer initial speed and control, they inherit the downsides of both centralization and decentralization without the long-term innovation benefits. The article concludes that, just as open systems historically win, Ethereum is poised to become the foundational, neutral settlement layer for global finance.

Kalshi's Biggest Rival is Not Polymarket

Kalshi's CEO Tarek Mansour has identified the company's primary competitors not as the crypto-based prediction market Polymarket, but as established financial and gaming giants: CME Group, Robinhood, and DraftKings. This reflects a shift in the prediction market landscape, where the 2026 FIFA World Cup is expected to bring massive new trading volume. Traditional platforms are increasingly integrating prediction markets as a feature within their existing ecosystems. Robinhood has seen rapid growth with its prediction markets, contributing significantly to its "other transaction revenue." Similarly, Interactive Brokers (IBKR) integrates contracts from Kalshi and CME Group, while DraftKings and FanDuel (via CME) have launched their own prediction products. This allows these firms to leverage their vast user bases and infrastructure at low marginal cost, turning prediction markets from standalone apps into embedded functionalities. In response, prediction market platforms are evolving along two paths. First, they are expanding into new event categories like sports (e.g., the World Cup) and financial data to reduce reliance on election cycles. Second, they are moving towards becoming infrastructure and liquidity providers for distribution platforms. Kalshi's lead over Polymarket in trading volume is partly attributed to this channel strategy, integrating with brokers like Robinhood, Coinbase, and Webull. However, this strategy faces a challenge as distributors like Robinhood begin building their own in-house prediction market capabilities (e.g., Rothera), potentially threatening the value of pure infrastructure providers. The situation parallels historical tech battles, such as Zoom competing with Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, where embedded features in larger platforms reshape market dynamics. The future of standalone prediction market leaders like Kalshi and Polymarket will depend on their ability to navigate this new competitive landscape dominated by integrated financial and gaming titans.

Trends in US Stocks (June 22): Strait of Hormuz Agreement Changes Course, Thursday's PCE and Micron to Determine Chip Sector Direction

U.S. Stock Market Outlook (June 22): Strait of Hormuz Deal Falters, Thursday's PCE & Micron to Set Chip Sector Direction. Geopolitical tensions resurged over the weekend as Iran's IRGC announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and its negotiation team walked out after threats from Trump, pausing U.S.-Iran talks. This renewed risk premium is weighing on U.S. equity futures ahead of the open. Last week's market was driven by chip stocks, with the Philly Semiconductor Index hitting a record high. While the Fed's hawkish tone was overshadowed by initial deal optimism, the S&P 500 gained 0.9% for the week. SpaceX debuted strongly but ended with two down days. Key events this week: The status of U.S.-Iran negotiations remains the immediate variable for oil and energy stocks. Monday sees Marvell and Flex added to the S&P 500. Tuesday's MSCI reclassification could benefit South Korean semiconductors and memory stocks. **Thursday, June 25th, is the critical day**, featuring the May Core PCE report and Micron's earnings. Hotter PCE data could solidify expectations for two 2024 rate hikes, while softer data would rapidly reprice rate cut bets. Micron's report is a key test for the AI narrative; the market will scrutinize its 2027 HBM supply visibility, HBM4 progress, and its position in Nvidia's Vera Rubin supply chain. Nvidia's AGM and a potential OpenAI GPT-5.6 release will make Thursday a pivotal 24 hours for AI. Friday concludes with the Russell reconstitution, elevating small-cap volatility. In summary, last week's gains face a true test. The path hinges on two concurrent threads: geopolitical developments with Iran and the AI narrative defined by Micron's guidance and Nvidia's updates. The chip sector's record highs are vulnerable if Thursday brings hot PCE data and conservative guidance from Micron. Conversely, positive outcomes could reaffirm the AI bull case, making this week's volatility a potential entry window.
