推动加密货币发展的“未知因素”

币界网Pubblicato 2024-08-12Pubblicato ultima volta 2024-08-12

币界网报道:

加密货币正在上下波动,没有明确的触发因素或方向,尽管股票和债券从上周一的市场混乱中显著复苏。

虽然加密代币从上周初自2022年FTX崩溃以来最严重的抛售中恢复过来,但周一数字资产普遍下跌。

此前,比特币周四创下16个多月来最大单日涨幅。

上周的那一天,最大的数字货币增长了8.6%,超过了59800美元。但此后,该代币再次回落,交易价格约为58.600美元。

第二大代币以太坊上周晚些时候也经历了近10%的上涨,但周一下跌了3%以上,至2500美元多一点。

它是传统市场和加密市场崩溃后果的混合体。那些被迫出售的人还没有完全消失。

周四最新的美国劳动力市场数据缓解了人们对世界最大经济体更严重衰退的担忧,导致股市大幅复苏和债券下跌。

但这还不足以推动加密货币市场的广泛发展。

加密货币价格最初弥补了部分损失;然而,目前这种复苏似乎是短暂的。

比特币当天下跌了4%,过去两周下跌了近15%。但在过去的一周里,比特币上涨了7%,今年到目前为止,该代币上涨了近100%。

所有人的目光都将集中在周三公布的美国通胀数据上,以寻找美联储利率路径的线索,预计9月份将降息。

随着美联储降息,越来越清楚的是,现在的问题不是是否降息,而是降息幅度有多大。

美联储转向宽松政策被广泛认为是继比特币ETF和今年上半年大型机构投资者更广泛采用代币之后,加密货币走高的下一个重大触发因素。


套利交易激增与加密货币

上周一的全球市场崩盘似乎不仅仅是一场小地震。这是日本央行政策转变和对美国经济衰退的再次担忧造成的暂时恐慌。

好吧,至少对更广泛的全球市场来说是这样。

然而,它发展并迅速消亡的事实表明,市场对对冲基金过去在全球问题上押注数千亿美元的策略是多么敏感。

所谓的“日元套利交易”保证了快速资金:在日本获得贷款,日本的利率是世界上最低的,并将资金投资于收益率为10%或更高的墨西哥债券、Nvidia飙升的股价,甚至比特币。

日元贬值使贷款更容易负担,回报也更大。

突然间,投资者开始从这笔交易中撤资,这加速了日元的复苏,并导致交易员迅速出售股票、加密货币和其他货币来弥补他们的追加保证金。

担心货币飙升会对出口商造成严重打击,这也动摇了日本股市,引发了该国自1987年以来最严重的单日抛售,抹去了6万亿美元股市中的1.1万亿美元。

更重要的是,加密货币的大幅抛售让投资者想起了FTX崩溃期间的混乱。

套利交易热点的市场连续数周陷入低迷,加密货币从高点下跌,人们越来越担心美联储在很长一段时间内保持了过度紧缩的货币政策,所有这些都增加了越来越大的压力。

然后,火花被点燃了:日本的利率上升了。

尽管日本央行的基准利率仍处于工业世界的最低水平,为0.25%,但上月底的大幅加息促使投资者重新考虑他们长期以来的观点,即日本的借贷成本将始终保持在零左右。

至少由于这个原因,市场现在已经趋于平稳。

然而,这一经历引发了人们对日本杠杆水平的担忧,尽管疫情后通货膨胀加剧,但日本央行仍决定继续印钞。

正因为如此,紧张的交易员正试图预测平仓是否已经基本结束,或者在未来几周内是否会对市场产生进一步影响。


比特币储备跌至3年低点

在4月份名为“减半”的软件代码调整之后,通过验证区块链上的交易来产生收入的公司所持有的比特币储备量暴跌至三年来的最低水平。

根据加密货币研究人员Kaiko的一份报告,截至8月3日,矿工持有的比特币总量已降至约1510300个代币。

这比2020年12月的创纪录数量减少了约2.4%。

该数量的当前价值约为860亿美元,约占流通中比特币总量的8%。

数据显示,自2023年底比特币价格开始上涨以来,矿工们一直在出售代币,这远远早于4月份的最近一次“减半”。

这些公司经常利用销售收入来支付运营费用。

因此,自最新的软件升级以来,他们获得的新代币奖励减少了。

Kaiko报道称,在减半后,网络费用的增加暂时缓解了矿工的收入损失。

然而,这种影响是短暂的,此后平均费用从减半后的143美元降至2美元。


美国政治中的“未知因素”在推动加密货币的发展?

彭博社援引消息人士的话说,上周周四,加密货币高管在Zoom虚拟电话会议上向白宫顾问表达了他们对当前数字资产政策的担忧。

然而,该消息人士表示,拜登政府的顾问没有对加密货币行业的领导者做出任何承诺。

代表团包括Ripple Lab、Kraken、Coinbase Global和Kraken的代表,他们与白宫顾问一起批评了加密货币政策。

此前,7月份举行了一次会议,但没有取得更广泛的进展。

Ripple和Coinbase公开批评美国证券交易委员会(SEC)的数字资产监管和活动。

他们也是本次选举周期中Fairshake政治行动组织的最大贡献者。

然而,这场讨论并没有导致乔·拜登政府对数字资产行业的打击发生任何明显变化。

另一方面,共和党候选人、前总统唐纳德·特朗普的竞选团队公开支持加密货币业务。

特朗普承诺支持美国的比特币挖矿,反对央行发行的数字货币。

到目前为止,哈里斯的团队对候选人在加密货币行业的立场一直保持沉默。

在虚拟通话后,Coinbase首席法务官Paul Grewal表示:“重点是未来。”

格雷瓦尔说,在过去的两周里,他与哈里斯竞选团队进行了许多直接对话。

他补充说,周四的电话“与我在哈里斯竞选期间的经历形成了鲜明对比”

尽管如此,在美国总统选举前夕,数字资产背后的驱动力仍然是“未知”。

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.
