关于稳定币,目前有一个相当普遍的说法:它是新兴市场个人对冲货币波动的工具。这确实是事实,也很重要,但这并不是全貌。

今天在 BVNK,我们处理着 360亿美元 的年化稳定币交易量。我们只是这个庞大生态系统中的一员,但我们从交易量数据中发现了一些有意思的规律,它们指向一个三阶段的演变过程。

这一切始于2022年,当时券商平台及其散户用户开始用稳定币给账户充值。一路发展到今天,企业级平台正在把稳定币钱包嵌入自己的产品中。

360 亿数据里的三阶演进

第一阶段(2022-2024年):券商破局与模式验证

BVNK 最早的交易量来自券商平台,核心用例是账户充值。散户用户存入稳定币为账户充值,随时随地进行股票、加密货币和其他资产的交易,我们自动兑换为法币,与平台完成结算。

这种用例有时会被轻视,觉得不算"真实世界"的应用。但想想它意味着什么:跨境、全天候、即时结算。一个巴西用户可以在周日凌晨2点给券商账户充值。这就是资金流转的未来,只是发生在一个没有因此得到足够认可的行业里。

2023-2024年,这一用例大约占我们总交易量的50%。业内已有公开信息显示,Bridge 和 Zerohash 等公司在 Bitso、tastytrade 等客户身上看到了同样的趋势。

第二阶段(2024-2025年):机构接力与生态扩容

这是真正有意思的阶段。大型支付服务商开始为客户接入稳定币支付通道:dLocal、Worldpay、Thunes、Visa 以及其他公司。应用场景不断拓展:商户结算、B2B 应付账款、资金库运营。

BVNK 按用例划分的年化交易量

2025年,B2B支付占我们总交易量的44%,成为最大类别,超过了账户充值。

值得注意的是,很多在交易平台上找到 PMF(产品市场契合)的稳定币支付服务商,并没有成功跨越到 B2B 支付这个赛道。

在此期间,我们还看到了几个高增长用例的起飞。

第一个是 B2C 薪资和零工支出。像 Deel 和 Ontop 这样的公司正在用 BVNK 的基础设施,实时向全球各地的员工、卖家和创作者发放薪酬。

第二个是嵌入式稳定币钱包的需求激增。我们的交易量在一年内从接近于零增长到34亿美元,增幅达263倍。

金融科技公司和全球性平台意识到,稳定币不只是用来收付款的,它可以作为钱包层直接嵌入产品中。我们已经从简单的"发送/接收",进入了把稳定币当作基础设施来用的阶段。

对这些企业来说,拥有钱包就意味着拥有客户关系和价值流动的控制权。

按稳定币用例划分的增长率

第三阶段(2026年及以后):企业押注与基建重构

去年,我们接入的企业客户比过去所有年份加起来还多,而2026年的客户储备显示出用例正在发生明显转变。

几乎每4个新客户中就有1个(23%)要求嵌入数字美元钱包,几乎追上了 B2B 支付(占新客户的32%)。这些钱包就是嵌在平台里的全球支付基础设施,背后是数百万终端用户。

2025年与2026年按用例划分的 BVNK 客户数量对比

平台嵌入稳定币钱包,不只是多了一种支付方式,而是在搭建基础设施。当一个市场平台嵌入钱包,或者一家科技巨头把稳定币支出能力内置到平台中,你看到的是:企业正在押注稳定币,把它作为未来资金流转和价值存储的基石。

2026年,我们还看到另外两个新兴用例的需求在增长:

B2C 稳定币结账已经成为一个独立的应用场景(占新客户的7%),主要是奢侈品、旅游和大型科技公司在传统支付方式之外增加稳定币结账选项。

B2C 薪资和市场平台支出继续增长(占新客户的8%)。

演进背后的必然性

券商平台最先证明了稳定币支付的价值:用户往往是加密原住民(不需要市场教育),从第一天起就需要全球覆盖,而且和国际电汇相比,稳定币的优势立竿见影。

但同样的优势(速度快、全球可达、全天候可用)同样适用于 B2B 支付、B2C 支出,以及如今企业平台内部的嵌入式钱包体验。

另外一点,像 BVNK 这样早在2022年就大规模跑通了早期用例的稳定币支付基础设施提供商,已经积累了过硬的运营能力和合规框架,而这正是今天的支付公司和企业所需要的。这份实战记录,成了后续一切发展的基础。

飞轮才刚刚转动

整个市场的增长势头很明显,但要记住,我们仍处于早期。

通过让支付变得更快、更便宜、全球互通,稳定币打开了新市场的大门,而这个市场有多大,今天很难估算。

Uber 的类比很有参考意义:它的市场不只是出租车,而是在出行变得便捷、随叫随到之后才涌现出的大量出行需求。

稳定币也是一样,它的独特优势在优化现有用例的同时,也会创造出全新的应用场景。

The "Impossible Triad" Is Fundamentally a Pseudo-Problem

The article argues that blockchain's fundamental limitation is not the scalability trilemma (decentralization, scalability, security), which has been largely solved, but the lack of **privacy** and, until recently, clear **legitimacy**. Blockchain is described as a slow, expensive, globally shared computer whose core value is censorship resistance and verifiability. While ideal for native digital assets like money (e.g., stablecoins), its default transparency acts as a **tax**, exposing all transactions and enabling MEV extraction, which deters serious institutional capital. Simultaneously, its permissionless nature created regulatory ambiguity. The piece contends that **privacy** is the missing critical feature. It rejects the false choice between total transparency and complete anonymity. Modern cryptography (like zero-knowledge proofs) enables **compliant privacy**: users can prove facts (solvency, KYC status, compliance) without revealing the underlying sensitive data (specific holdings, identities). This preserves auditability for regulators and eliminates the leak of financial information. With recent regulatory progress (e.g., the GENIUS Act) addressing legitimacy, adding default, provably compliant privacy becomes a pure upgrade. It transforms blockchain from a costly, public ledger into a confidential settlement layer, finally bridging the gap to mainstream institutional and individual adoption of on-chain finance.

Optical Chips: Collective Capacity Expansion

The global optical chip industry is experiencing a massive wave of expansion driven by surging AI data center demand. Major players across the US, Japan, Europe, and China are aggressively investing to ramp up production capacity. In the US, Coherent is expanding its 6-inch Indium Phosphide (InP) semiconductor fab in Texas, supported by CHIPS Act funding and a $2 billion strategic investment from NVIDIA. Lumentum is building a new factory for InP optical devices, and Nokia is scaling its advanced photonic chip packaging and testing capabilities. NVIDIA's investments aim to secure future supply of critical lasers and optical interconnect products for AI infrastructure. Japan's JX Advanced Metals, a leading InP substrate supplier, plans a multi-billion yen investment to increase its capacity 7-10 times, strengthening its grip on the crucial upstream materials market. In Europe, IQE and Tower Semiconductor settled a patent dispute and signed a multi-year InP epitaxial wafer supply agreement, highlighting that next-generation silicon photonics platforms will integrate high-performance InP components. STMicroelectronics and Sivers Semiconductors are also expanding silicon photonics production and partnerships. China is rapidly building out its domestic supply chain. Dongshan Precision's subsidiary, Source Photonics, announced a $12 billion project to expand optical chip and module production. Companies like Sanan Optoelectronics and Yunnan Germanium are scaling up InP chip manufacturing and substrate production, moving towards vertical integration from materials to modules. While debate continues around the exact future architecture—whether CPO (Co-Packaged Optics), NPO, or pluggables will dominate—analysts like Morgan Stanley argue the underlying driver is unchangeable: the explosive growth in bandwidth demand. This will inevitably increase the volume of optical engines, lasers, and related content per GPU, regardless of the final technical path. The competition for "more light" in the AI era has intensified into a global, full-chain capacity race.

Stablecoins Finally Find Real Yield: An In-Depth Look at On-Chain Reinsurance Re | A Conversation with Re Founder Karan Saroya

Stablecoin Real Yield Found: A Deep Dive into On-Chain Reinsurance with Re's Karan Saroya As stablecoin supply exceeds $170 billion, the search for sustainable, non-speculative yield intensifies. Re, an on-chain reinsurance platform, provides an answer: connecting stablecoin capital to the trillion-dollar traditional reinsurance market. Re operates as a regulated reinsurer, accepting stablecoin deposits as collateral to back US insurance companies. These insurers pay premiums, generating yield that flows back to on-chain depositors. Currently supporting 35 insurers and underwriting $500 million, Re projects scaling to over $1 billion soon. Key insights from a Bankless podcast with founder Karan Saroya and investor Avichal of Electric Capital: 1. **Uncorrelated, Real-World Yield:** Re offers stablecoin holders access to reinsurance returns (targeting 12-14%+), an asset class entirely separate from crypto or equity markets. 2. **Operational Efficiency via Smart Contracts:** Re replaces traditional, labor-intensive capital fundraising with smart contracts, allowing a ~12-person team to compete with industry giants. 3. **Regulatory Leverage:** For every $1 of collateral, regulations allow backing $5-7 in written premiums. This leverage amplifies returns from the underlying risk-free rate. 4. **DeFi Integration:** Depositors receive receipt tokens, which can be used in protocols like Morpho for "looping," potentially pushing yields to 18-20%+. 5. **The "DeFi Mullet" Model:** A compliant front-end (regulated reinsurer) paired with a decentralized back-end (smart contracts, DeFi capital markets). 6. **RE Governance Token:** Modeled on Lloyd's of London, the token governs the central capital pool's allocation, counterparty acceptance, and parameters. 7. **Real Economic Impact:** Capital funds real-world productivity (factories, clinics, businesses) via insurance, moving beyond crypto's internal loops. The discussion highlights a pivotal moment: DeFi's supply-side infrastructure is now met by real demand for productive yield, potentially kickstarting a flywheel where vast on-chain stablecoin capital seeks these real-world returns.

1996 or 1999? Walsh's First Test is 'How to View AI'

"1996 or 1999? Wall's First Big Test Is 'How to View AI'" Federal Reserve Chairman Wall's initial challenge is not whether to raise or cut rates, but a more fundamental judgment: what kind of boom is the current AI boom? This will determine the Fed's policy path and define his legacy. Economics is split between two opposing views, according to reporter Nick Timiraos. One sees imminent productivity gains that will increase supply and cool inflation, allowing the Fed to hold steady. The other argues that while productivity benefits are distant, demand shocks are here now, and waiting for data confirmation risks missing the intervention window, forcing sharper rate hikes later. Wall has signaled a leaning toward the first view, echoing 1996-era Alan Greenspan, who embraced strong, productivity-driven growth without fear of inflation. However, Wall faces a different macro environment than Greenspan did, with tariff pressures, expanding fiscal deficits, and diminishing globalization benefits, which could force more significant inflation pressures even if AI benefits materialize. Wall's logic, expressed before taking office, is that AI-driven productivity gains won't show in official data for years. If the Fed waits for confirmation, it might mistakenly tighten policy and choke off the very growth that could suppress inflation. This argues for using forward-looking narratives over lagging data. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee presents a key counter-argument. He distinguishes between expected and unexpected productivity booms. A widely anticipated boom, like the current AI wave, can cause people to spend future wealth gains in advance, overheating the economy before productivity actually rises, thus requiring preemptive rate hikes. He cites rising costs for AI data centers as evidence of such overheating. Fed Governor Christopher Waller offers a rebuttal to Goolsbee, noting the "expected spending" mechanism only works if people can borrow against future income, which many households cannot do due to borrowing constraints. Wall also faces a paradox related to his desire to reduce the Fed's use of "forward guidance" (pre-announcing policy moves). This practice was established in 1999 when Greenspan began signaling hikes to avoid market shocks. If the economy follows a less optimistic path, Wall may be forced to choose between using the guidance he wants to abolish or risking market volatility by staying silent. The ultimate question defining Wall's first major test remains: Is this 1996 or 1999?
