Introduzione

这对于加密货币短期内来说并不是一件好事,但我坚信加密货币的长期未来,并预计未来十年会有数十亿的钱包出现。

本月早些时候,a16z 发推声称链上「活跃地址」已创下历史新高。加密分析师Chris 利用Dune 上的Celo 资料,对这篇推文进行了更深层次的挖掘。

通过观察主要的以太坊虚拟机器(EVM)和Solana 的总活跃钱包数,我们可以发现下图与a16z 在过去两年中的资料相匹配。我们观察到活跃钱包的增长,并在2023 年5 月出现了强劲的增长。

五月份出现的大幅上涨主要是由Solana 活跃钱包驱动的,这似乎是在一个下降趋势中的异常值。Solana 使用量在五月达到了顶峰,但六月份的资料目前来看大幅下降,这表明五月份的上涨可能是不可持续的。

当我们将目光仅局限于EVM 链时,总活跃钱包的峰值就会减少。

但是,在统计EVM 链上的活跃钱包时,大多数分析并没有排除在多个链上使用同一钱包的情况。如果我使用同一个钱包在各种EVM 链上进行交易,如果资料没有去重,我会被计算为2、3、4 或更多。

当我们考虑到这一点时,我们发现过去两年EVM 区块链的增长显著降低;自2022 年10 月以来的增长相对平稳,到2023 年5 月仅为1%。与第一个未重复资料删除的图表相比,这描绘了一幅截然不同的图景。

另外,在观察交易数量时,情况则完全不同。过去一年半里,交易趋势一直在下降,其中Solana 占据了大部分交易量。

如果我们将Solana 从图表中移除,只观察EVM 链的趋势,我们会发现所有主要链的总交易次数保持平稳或略有下降。

总体而言,当我们分析原始增长图的指标时,发现还有更多内容需要深入了解。从2021 年6 月到2023 年5 月,未经去重的资料显示活跃钱包增长了146%,但如果进行去重,同期增长率仅为65%。

结合最近的活跃钱包资料和交易指标,表明我们真正处于一轮熊市,使用者和使用量增长停滞不前。

虽然最初的多链图可能在特定情况下很有用,但我认为这种去重后的钱包指标是我们评估生态系统内的真实使用者数量和衡量新参与者未来增长的最佳方式。

这对于加密货币短期内来说并不是一件好事,但我坚信加密货币的长期未来,并预计未来十年会有数十亿的钱包出现。

'Backstabbing' or 'Win-Win'? How Likely Is TradeXYZ to Break Away from Hyperliquid and Go Solo?

The article discusses the growing debate over whether TradeXYZ, which dominates Hyperliquid's HIP-3 market with over 90% of its volume, might break away to build its own independent trading platform. This possibility is fueled by TradeXYZ's immense market influence and the common industry trend of successful projects seeking more control and profit capture. Key arguments for a potential split include TradeXYZ's overwhelming contribution to Hyperliquid's metrics and the financial incentive to retain all transaction fees, as it currently splits them 50/50 with Hyperliquid. The piece draws parallels to other cases, like Anthropic's "Claude Code" competing with its former partner Cursor, suggesting "betrayal" can occur when business leverage shifts. However, strong counterarguments suggest a split is unlikely or would be detrimental. TradeXYZ relies on Hyperliquid's high-performance infrastructure and its platform as a primary user acquisition channel. Building a comparable system would be challenging. Furthermore, the founders of both projects share a history of trust and mutual admiration. The analysis concludes that a separation would likely be a lose-lose scenario: Hyperliquid would lose a major growth narrative and trading volume, while TradeXYZ would face technical hurdles, user migration issues, and reputational damage, potentially allowing competitors to seize market share. The most rational path is seen as continued collaboration, with TradeXYZ potentially negotiating better terms while leveraging Hyperliquid's established strengths.

The Artificial Intelligence Economy Could Accelerate the Establishment of Dominance for Dollar-Pegged Stablecoins

Economists from the ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) suggest that the winner in the artificial intelligence (AI) race may not be the country developing the most powerful AI model, but the one whose currency underpins these models and their infrastructure. Their thesis outlines a potential cycle where AI-related costs—such as energy for data centers, infrastructure, and usage fees—are denominated in U.S. dollars. As AI grows into a massive industry, this could significantly increase global demand for U.S. dollar liquidity (first channel of dollar dominance). A second channel involves the currency used for payments between AI agents, expected to become widespread in logistics, inventory, and treasury management. Dollar-pegged stablecoins could provide the programmable settlements required for such agent commerce. These two channels may converge, creating a self-reinforcing "dollar loop" where AI computational payments are settled in stablecoins. Stablecoins could gain an early advantage over alternatives like CBDCs due to existing network effects, further entrenching dollar dominance. This would also boost demand for U.S. Treasury bonds used as collateral for stablecoin reserves. The report warns ASEAN+3 nations of over-reliance on this dollar loop and suggests developing regional data centers and tokenized money based on local currencies to participate in the AI economy without reinforcing dollar dependency.

Base Claims Its Distribution Advantage Can Outlast Robinhood Chain's Initial Surge

Base, a layer-2 blockchain, argues that its established distribution network will outlast Robinhood Chain's initial popularity surge. While Robinhood Chain quickly attracted 230,000 daily active users and over $9 billion in DEX volume (primarily from meme coins) shortly after launch, its core feature of tokenized stocks saw minimal use. Base acknowledged shortcomings in focusing on social blockchain products and lagging in areas like perpetual contracts, predictions markets, and on-chain tokenized stocks—a move Robinhood got right. In response, Base highlights its nearly three-year head start in building infrastructure. It emphasizes its x402 payment protocol, which has processed 187.8 million agent payments, its $3.9 billion in stablecoin deposits (mostly USDC), and its integration with partners like Visa, Shopify, and JPMorgan for institutional and merchant settlements. Base contends these capabilities for corporate payments and stablecoin liquidity represent a more durable and defensible ecosystem than Robinhood's retail trading metrics. Coinbase plans to launch its own on-chain, share-backed tokenized stocks on Base, which would directly challenge Robinhood's key differentiating feature. Base's strategy bets that its deep-rooted distribution and institutional partnerships will prove harder to overcome than Robinhood's early, meme-driven volume, which may fade after the initial launch hype.
