TL;DR

  • Messari 在报告中表现出了对 Solana、DePIN、AI + Crypto 以及 Perps 赛道的强烈看好。

  • 从分析师的持仓分布来看,Messari 内部最为看好的依旧是 Solana 以及 AI + DePIN 概念。

重点投资主题

Solana:

Solana 上新产品的快速发布、链上流动性的飙升以及开发⼈员⼯具可⽤性的不断扩⼤一直都令人期待。

从技术层面上看,Local Fee Markets、QUIC、和 Stake-Weighted QOS 等升级显著地减少了 Solana 宕机情况的发生,使得 Solana 的运行更加稳健。cNFT 等技术的出现大幅削减了 Solana 上的 NFT 铸造与管理成本,从而使得 Helium 和 Render 等协议可以利用 cNFT 大幅减少成本开支,促进了 Solana DePIN 生态的繁荣。

2024 年市场对于 Solana 的预期聚焦在如下几个方面:

  • 通过 Firedancer 和 Sig 客户端实现 10 倍以上的吞吐量与性能提升。Firedancer 使 Solana 每秒能处理 100 万笔交易。用户体验的改进能够吸引更多的开发者参与使用和基于 Solana 进行开发,丰富 Solana 繁荣的生态。

  • 通过 Tinydancer 开发轻客户端,允许验证者以更低的成本完成验证工作,实现更高程度的去中心化。

  • 部署 token - 22 标准,扩展 Solana 的代币功能。例如 token - 22 将支持计息代币,允许代币转账时触发复杂的合约逻辑等等。

Solana 的 Local Fee Markets 与状态压缩技术使得下列应用“只有在 Solana 上才有可能”。

  • DePIN:Helium、Hivemapper、Render 等项目都已迁移至 Solana。Render 为了可压缩的 cNFT、更快的交易速度以及可组合的链上订单薄,放弃了自己的区块链,转向了 Solana。

  • Payments:Solana 已与 Visa 达成合作,使得用户可以以更低的成本和更快的速度,通过 Solana Pay 插件使用 Solana USDC 在 Shopify 上交易。

  • Consumer apps:成本极低的 cNFT 能够助推以 NFT 为核心的新兴消费者用力。以 DRiP 为例,DRiP 与艺术家合作,向订阅者免费分发 NFT。 自 3 月底以来,它已向 160 万个钱包铸造了超过 7800 万个 cNFT,而每个 NFT 的成本仅约为 0.00036 美元。

  • DeFi:极低的交易费用、更快的最终状态确认使得 Solana 上的 DeFi 协议能够创建全链上订单薄模型,为用户提供其他区块链网络无法支持的更加丝滑的用户体验。

DePIN, DeSoc, DeSci

在非金融领域,Messari 更加关注 DePIN、DeSoc 以及 DeSci 在未来的发展。上述三个赛道拥有巨大的潜在市场规模,并且能够针对现实世界业务流程的弊端作出更加实际的改变。

Messari 特别关注以下四个细分的 DePIN 子赛道:

  • Decentralized Storage:目前的云存储市场拥有 800 亿美元的市场规模,并以每年 25% 的增速持续增长。而尽管去中心化存储服务的成本比 Amazon S 3 等云服务提供商低 70% ,目前去中心化存储的市场占比仍不足 1% ,去中心化存储仍有巨大的市场机会。

MT Capital研报:Messari Crypto Theses 2024解读,重点押注Solana与AI + DePIN赛道

  • Decentralized Databases:去中心化数据库此前一直饱受性能和延迟的困扰,这些问题有望在 2024 年得到解决。DeSoc、游戏、动态 NFT、ML、AL 等应用的出现都会极大地增加对去中心化数据库的需求。

MT Capital研报:Messari Crypto Theses 2024解读,重点押注Solana与AI + DePIN赛道

  • Decentralized Wireless Network:以 Helium Mobile 为代表的 DePIN 项目逐渐找到了自己的 PMF,使得用户采用率不断增长。以 Helium Mobile 为例,早期通过提供低价服务和代币吸引用户,用户的增长又会进一步带动代币价格的增长,从而吸引更多的用户以及付费,转动增长飞轮。

MT Capital研报:Messari Crypto Theses 2024解读,重点押注Solana与AI + DePIN赛道

  • Decentralized AI Machine:人工智能的发展目前面临着计算瓶颈以及缺乏协作的限制。而聚焦 AI 领域的 DePIN 项目能够很好地解决这两个问题。Gensyn 可以为 AI 模型的训练提供充足的去中心化的算力支持,Bittensor 能够使个人参与到开源的 AI 模型训练。DePIN 与 AI 拥有天然的结合场景。

MT Capital研报:Messari Crypto Theses 2024解读,重点押注Solana与AI + DePIN赛道

除了 DePIN 外,Messari 也额外关注 DeSoc 和 DeSci 赛道。类似的,创作者在社交媒体领域贡献了 2300 亿美元的收入,但仅有小部分创作者能够获得对应的收入分成。而 <a href="http://friend.tech/">Friend.tech 仅上线数月便与其创作者分享了 5000 万美元的收入。Messari 认为 DeSoc 有望复刻 2020 年 DeFi Summer 的浪潮。

DeSci 方面,区块链能够有效地优化科学研究的同行评审、资金资助等关键流程,并能通过 DAO 和代币销售的方式推动关键科学领域的研究发展。

虽然目前 DeSoc 和 DeSci 尚未达到诸如 DePIN 般的出圈能力,不过 Messari 依旧对其保持看好,并期待 DeSoc 和 DeSci 领域也能够产生带来 Mass Adoption 的应用。

AI & Crypto:

Messari 认为,AI 的进步会增加对加密货币解决方案的需求,以比特币为代表的加密货币也天然地适合作为 AI 的支付货币。

AI 与 Crypto 有着如下的结合场景:

  • AI Agent 可以利用加密基础设施进行支付和自主地进行数字资源访问。

  • zkML 等创新使得智能合约能够安全地调度 AI Model,从而支持更加复杂的应用逻辑。

  • Token 提供了一种奖励个人微调模型和收集有价值的现实世界数据的途径,天然地适合与 DePIN 结合。

Perps

Messari 在其报告中明确地表示,如果你今年要关注 DeFi 的⼀个子赛道,那应该就是 Perp DEX。

随着 dYdX 迁移到定制化的 Cosmos 应用链,dYdX 的中央限价订单薄能够更好地提供与 CEX 相近的交易体验。并且考虑到 CEX 所面临的监管压力,dYdX 与 CEX 的距离可能会进一步缩小。

除了 Solana 生态的 Perp DEX (Drift 和 Jupiter) 外,Synthetix 也值得额外注意。随着 Synthetix Andromeda 版本的推出,Synthetix 将引入全仓保证⾦功能,⽀持多种新的抵押品类型,以及⼀系列交易、清算等方面的改进。Synthetix 也取消了长达数年的代币通胀,并有可能转入代币通缩。从币价上看,Synthetix 也是年初至今表现第四好的 DEX。

ETH

ETH 目前处于两难的境地。对机构的吸引力不如 BTC 数字黄金的叙事,其他的 L0、L1、L2 竞品也在逐渐蚕食以太坊上的交易量。尽管目前来看,ETH 的投资性价比较低,但 ETH 的坎昆升级仍然值得关注。以太坊的坎昆升级能够降低 90% -99% 的 Rollup 的交易成本,使得 Rollup 与其他 Alt L1s 一样便宜。坎昆升级的交付日是最值得关注的日期之一。

分析师持仓

最有意思的莫过于 Messari 公开的分析师持仓。下图为 2023 年 Messari 分析师最大涨幅的持仓币种分布图。可以看到,分析师们的主要盈利来自于 Solana 生态以及 AI + DePIN 概念。这也反映了分析师们很好地抓住了本轮上涨行情的头部叙事。

下图为 Messari 分析师目前的持仓代币分布图(已去除出现次数仅 1 次的币种)。分析师们的主要持仓币种和 2023 年涨幅最大的持仓币种类似,仍然集中分布在 Solana 与 AI + DePIN 概念中。有意思的是,对于分析师们强烈看好的其他赛道,例如 DeSoc、DeSci、Perps 等,分析师们并未持有任何相关的代币。

MT Capital研报:Messari Crypto Theses 2024解读,重点押注Solana与AI + DePIN赛道

下图为 Messari 分析师喜欢的赛道(已去除出现次数仅 1 次的赛道)。和此前的情况类似,依然是 Solana 与 DePIN 概念占据主导。但是去中心化衍生品超越了 AI 成为了分析师们最喜爱的赛道之一,ZK 概念也也来到了与 AI 平起平坐的重要等级。

Focus: Five Leading AI Stocks on Nasdaq

The report analyzes five Nasdaq-listed AI infrastructure stocks—Micron (MU), MaxLinear (MXL), AMD, Lumentum (LITE), and Vicor (VICR)—as distinct plays within the AI capital expenditure chain, rather than a single "AI trade." While all benefit from AI data center spending, they differ in their specific roles (e.g., memory, computing, optics, power, connectivity), financial resilience, and risk profiles. The author argues that the key question is not whether the AI narrative remains intact, but whether capital expenditure translates into real orders, earnings justify valuations, and portfolios can withstand high volatility. Historical data shows these stocks have significantly outperformed benchmarks but also experienced deeper drawdowns (~28% to -32%), highlighting their high-beta, high-volatility nature. An investment framework is proposed: core positions (e.g., MU, AMD) for stocks with stronger fundamental evidence; satellite positions (e.g., LITE, VICR) for high-potential, high-volatility names; and cautious observation (e.g., MXL) for smaller-cap ideas with unproven financials. The emphasis is on disciplined, phased buying during pullbacks—only when price corrections align with intact fundamentals and available risk budget—rather than emotional "buy-the-dip" strategies. Overall, AI infrastructure offers long-term potential, but success requires strict position sizing, role definition for each holding, and preparedness for significant volatility.

Will UNI Reach $100 in Four Years? Will Standard Chartered's Prediction Come True?

TL;DR: - According to reports, Standard Chartered Bank has published a research report on Uniswap, setting a 2030 price target of $100 for the UNI token. - The bank's core logic is that the tokenization of assets will drive demand for open DeFi liquidity, and Uniswap could capture significant trading volume and fee revenue. - However, most institutional-grade tokenized products are permissioned, and the example of BlackRock's BUIDL shows that DeFi still faces significant access barriers. Standard Chartered's $100 target for UNI by 2030 is based on the hypothesis that tokenized assets will grow massively and a significant portion will flow into open DeFi markets, requiring decentralized exchange platforms like Uniswap for liquidity. The bank forecasts tokenized assets could reach $4 trillion by 2028, with up to 30% in DeFi by 2030. The key question is whether tokenized assets like treasuries and funds will trade in open, decentralized markets or remain within closed, permissioned institutional systems. This directly impacts Uniswap's potential growth. A real-world example is BlackRock's BUIDL fund, which, while using UniswapX for trading, is strictly limited to pre-approved, whitelisted institutional participants. This highlights the current trend: institutions may leverage DeFi infrastructure but maintain strict control over access and transfers. Furthermore, for UNI's value to rise significantly, Uniswap must establish a clear value-capture mechanism, such as the approved fee switch and token burn proposal. Regulatory and interoperability hurdles also persist, as noted by bodies like the Financial Stability Board. In summary, Standard Chartered's bold prediction hinges on the future flow of tokenized asset liquidity. While it signals institutional recognition of DeFi's potential, the path to $100 depends on overcoming current permissioned models and enabling truly open, cross-asset liquidity pools on platforms like Uniswap.

Odaily Editorial Team Tea Talk (June 17)

Odaily Editorial Team Casual Chat (June 17) This is an informal column sharing real-time thoughts from Odaily's editorial team on industry news, data, and events. The content is based on actual investment and observations, does not constitute investment advice, and aims to expand perspectives. Azuma shared recent operations: small-scale buys in crypto (mainly BTC) at relatively high levels, a small addition to HOOD stock, and participation in World Cup prediction markets. He also discussed Hyperliquid, noting that while its token HYPE has performed well, its high price may hinder the expansion of its HIP-3 ecosystem by making market creation cost-prohibitive, potentially limiting the platform to just one major market (trade.xyz). Suzz emphasized the importance of a calm mindset in investing, stating that markets offer perpetual opportunities. He warned against "hindsight bias," where past opportunities seem obvious, and stressed that the present always holds new chances for those with the right knowledge and temperament. Golem analyzed SpaceX's acquisition of AI tool Cursor's parent company, Anysphere, for $60 billion paid entirely in SpaceX stock. He speculated whether Musk's interests might work to keep SpaceX's trading volume and market cap high in the short term to reduce the actual equity cost of the deal, noting current high retail investor enthusiasm. Wenser shared a market outlook: cautiously bullish on BTC, monitoring SpaceX stock post-IPO for a potential rise, observing World Cup trends favoring strong teams, and noting the continued strength of Japanese and Korean stocks. He highlighted Anthropic's potential for a massive future IPO and the defensive investment logic in "picks and shovels" AI infrastructure. Qin Xiaofeng discussed trading HYPE around $56-$70, viewing the $50-$60 range as long-term support due to Hyperliquid's dominance in on-chain traditional asset trading and its substantial fee revenue used to buy back HYPE. On ETH, he noted a divide between disappointed crypto natives and bullish traditional investors like Tom Lee, personally viewing current ETH prices as undervalued.
