Исследование: Рынок криптоматов вырастет в десятки раз

investing.ruPubblicato 2024-11-06Pubblicato ultima volta 2024-11-06

Исследователи объяснили происходящее «растущим принятием криптовалют на международном уровне». Все больше регулирующих органов разных стран разрабатывают правила для криптоиндустрии, тем самым создавая благоприятную среду. Аналитики отметили более тесное сотрудничество между операторами криптоматов и финансовыми учреждениями, что позволяет обеспечить соблюдение законов и безопасность криптовалютных транзакций.

В 2023 году объем рынка оценивался в $87,35 млн, напомнила Research and Markets.

Криптоматы все чаще используются в розничной торговле и финансовых услугах, а также туристами. Аппаратов становится все больше в общественных местах: в торговых центрах, магазинах и на заправочных станциях, отметили авторы исследования.

Некоторые страны, в частности, Великобритания, с осторожностью относятся к установке этих устройств. В 2023 года британское Управление финансового надзора (FCA) устроило проверки в нескольких городах на наличие нелегальных криптоматов. Через год FCA обвинило жителя Лондона в незаконном управлении несколькими криптоматами, которые с декабря 2021 года по сентябрь 2023-го обработали транзакции на сумму около $3,4 млн.

Недавно Федеральная торговая комиссия США тоже выразила опасения по поводу использования криптоматов. Ведомство предупредило, что с 2020 года объем мошенничества с этими устройствами вырос в десять раз.

Open USD Stablecoin Puts Circle And Tether On Notice

A new stablecoin challenger, Open USD, has entered the market backed by over 140 businesses across payments, fintech, and crypto. Unlike typical launches that struggle with adoption, it aims to bypass liquidity challenges by embedding distribution through its partners from day one. Its economic model is designed to share value from reserve yields with these participating businesses, directly challenging the established economics of incumbents Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC). However, displacing the dominant players remains a significant hurdle due to their deep liquidity, network effects, and institutional trust. Open USD's potential lies in capturing specific payment flows, exchange integrations, or B2B settlement demand, shifting competition toward distribution and embedded infrastructure rather than just trading volume. Its launch underscores the evolving role of stablecoins from trading tools to core payment infrastructure.

ARK Invest Heavily Buys Crypto-Related Stocks: Lower Risk, or Double Pressure?

During Bitcoin's worst monthly performance in four years, ARK Invest, led by Cathie Wood, purchased $77 million worth of stock in crypto-related public companies in June, including Coinbase, Circle, and Bullish. The investment thesis suggests these stocks offer compliant exposure to the crypto sector without directly holding Bitcoin. However, analysis reveals significant drawbacks: these stocks exhibit nearly double the volatility of Bitcoin itself (68%-90% vs. 37.6% over 30 days) and only moderate correlation with Bitcoin prices (0.55-0.58 for several firms). This indicates investors are exposed to both partial crypto price movements and a full suite of company-specific business risks like earnings, competition, and financing. MicroStrategy (MSTR) is the closest to a pure Bitcoin proxy with high correlation and leverage (beta of 1.59). In contrast, Circle's price is heavily influenced by stablecoin competition, while Robinhood's diversified business buffers crypto downturns but also limits upside. Notably, some mining stocks (RIOT, MARA) have risen sharply in 2024 due to AI-related ventures, decoupling from Bitcoin's decline. The case of MicroStrategy highlights additional equity-specific risks like potential shareholder dilution and the breakdown of its premium valuation model (mNAV), which recently forced it to consider selling Bitcoin for liquidity. While some stocks like Coinbase have outperformed Bitcoin year-to-date, the data suggests investing in crypto equities generally amplifies volatility or layers on independent business risks compared to direct Bitcoin ownership.

DeepMind's Classic Masterpiece Crowned Again, ICML 2026 Awards Announced

ICML 2026 has announced its annual awards, with diffusion models and AI safety ethics taking center stage. The Outstanding Paper Award was shared by two diffusion model studies. One challenges a core assumption of diffusion language models (DLMs), arguing that their touted "arbitrary order generation" is a "flexibility trap" that harms performance. The other provides a high-accuracy sampling method, pushing the technical ceiling for diffusion models and log-concave distributions. A position paper winning the Outstanding Award raises a critical ethical concern: AI alignment research is unintentionally building a "censor's toolkit," where safety tools like RLHF can be repurposed for content control. Several papers received Honorable Mentions, spanning key areas: mapping where honesty emerges in RLHF-trained models, motion attribution in video generation, quantifying how much language models memorize, analyzing diffusion model consistency via random matrix theory, and providing a mathematical proof for the "grokking" phenomenon in a simple model. The Test of Time Award was given to DeepMind's 2016 seminal work "Asynchronous Methods for Deep Reinforcement Learning," recognizing the enduring impact of the A3C algorithm. Overall, the awards signal a shift in AI research from rapid expansion to deeper scrutiny—validating diffusion models as a major architectural contender while prompting serious ethical reflection within the safety community.

ARK's Massive Buying Spree in Crypto-Linked Stocks: Lower Risk, or Double the Pressure?

ARK Invest, led by Cathie Wood, significantly increased its holdings in crypto-related public stocks in June, purchasing $77 million worth of shares in Coinbase, Circle, and Bullish during Bitcoin's worst monthly performance in four years. The investment thesis is that these stocks offer regulated exposure to the crypto cycle without direct Bitcoin ownership. However, data analysis reveals significant downsides: these stocks exhibit nearly double the volatility of Bitcoin (68%-90% vs. 37.6% 30-day annualized volatility) and carry substantial company-specific risks like earnings, competition, and equity dilution, which account for much of their price movement. Only MicroStrategy closely tracks Bitcoin, acting as a leveraged proxy. Coinbase shows moderate correlation, while Circle and Robinhood have low correlation, being more influenced by stablecoin competition and diversified brokerage operations, respectively. Mining companies like RIOT and MARA have surged due to AI-related ventures, decoupling from Bitcoin's price. The case of Strategy highlights additional equity-structure risks, such as potential value erosion when its market value falls below its net asset value. Ultimately, investing in crypto stocks often means accepting amplified Bitcoin volatility or layering on unrelated business risks, rather than obtaining a safer alternative to direct cryptocurrency ownership.
