“买预期卖事实”情形出现?比特币失守4万美元关口!

金十Pubblicato 2024-01-23Pubblicato ultima volta 2024-01-23

自1月11日首批直接投资于比特币的现货交易所交易基金(ETF)推出以来,比特币价格已经下跌了近20%部分原因是因为投机者对比特币产品的潜在影响变得更加谨慎,同时抛售量依旧很大。

在贝莱德和富达投资等发行方的比特币现货ETF上市当天,比特币价格一度飙升至49021美元。但截至周二,比特币跌破40000美元/枚,为去年12月4日以来首次,较此前高点下跌19%。

9只新的美国比特币现货基金于1月11日开始交易,同时220亿美元的灰度比特币信托基金(Grayscale Bitcoin Trust,简称GBTC)从封闭式结构转变为ETF。外媒的高级ETF分析师Eric Balchunas写道,在刚上市的头六天,这些ETF净流入了12亿美元。

Balchunas说,贝莱德的iShares比特币信托基金和富达智慧起源比特币基金获得了大部分资金流入,而灰度则有28亿美元流出。卖方中包括破产的加密交易所FTX的“遗产”,该交易所出售了其在Grayscale中的大部分股份。据CoinDesk报道,FTX已出售了其持有的2200万股,价值近10亿美元,使FTX的GBTC所有权降至零

摩根大通分析师Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou领导的团队在一篇报告中指出,如果GBTC的投资者继续获利了结,比特币价格在未来几周可能面临进一步下行压力

Fundstrat Global Advisors LLC数字资产策略主管Sean Farrell在一份报告中写道:

“过去两周,比特币受到了更严峻的宏观环境的挑战,利率上升和美元走强就是证据,此外,还有来自交易员平仓比特币套利头寸、FTX破产资产抛售的巨大抛压。”

摩根大通估计,GBTC的资金外流可能高达30亿美元。另外,该行还认为GBTC目前的1.5%费率与其他现货比特币ETF相比过高,这可能也带来了相当大的卖压。

不过,Farrell补充称,FTX的抛售可能消除供应过剩,暗示“来自GBTC的强烈抛售压力可能很快消退

比特币去年飙升近160%,表现优于股票等传统资产,外界猜测现货ETF的获批上市将促使机构和个人投资者更广泛地采用这种加密货币。不过,自今年年初以来,该代币一直在回落,并落后于全球市场。

Options Don't Work in DeFi? Vitalik Might Not Agree

For years, the prevailing view has been that options struggle to gain traction in DeFi due to complexity, fragmented liquidity, and lack of natural demand compared to products like perpetual futures. However, a recent algorithmic stablecoin design proposed by Vitalik Buterin presents a different perspective, using options not as a standalone trading product, but as foundational infrastructure for other financial instruments. In this design, one unit of ETH is split into two components: a "stable" side (P) that retains value up to a specified strike price, and an "upside" side (N) that captures all appreciation above that strike. Combined, they always equal one ETH, eliminating debt, margin, and liquidation risks inherent in typical collateralized debt position (CDP) stablecoins. The stable component essentially mimics the payoff of a covered call option. To function as a stablecoin, this structure requires continuously rolling deep in-the-money calls, which introduces challenges like rollover slippage, predictable transaction flow vulnerable to front-running, and persistent liquidity needs. A core hurdle is finding consistent buyers for the leveraged ETH upside exposure (N). While it offers leverage without funding rates or liquidation, it must compete with simpler alternatives like direct call options or perpetuals. The system's scalability depends on a sustained demand for this specific form of leverage. The author draws parallels to their experience with Rysk, where earlier versions of DeFi options protocols struggled. The breakthrough came with Rysk V12, which aligns incentives: asset holders generate yield by selling covered calls against their holdings, while market makers efficiently acquire the desired option exposure. This demonstrates that options can find product-market fit when embedded as a risk distribution and pricing engine within structured products, stablecoins, or yield-generating assets, rather than marketed as a complex direct trading instrument. Vitalik's proposal reinforces this architectural approach—using fully collateralized, non-custodial, and physically settled options as a fundamental building block. The real opportunity for options in DeFi may lie not in becoming the next perpetual swap, but in powering the next generation of on-chain financial products.

Conversation with Investor Zheng Di: MicroStrategy's Coin Sale Experiment, AI Economy, and Opportunities in US Stocks

Frontier tech investor Zheng "Didier" Di discusses the recent Bitcoin price drop, the financial strategy shift at MicroStrategy, the AI-driven surge in U.S. stocks, and the evolving role of crypto exchanges. Didier posits that the recent BTC decline stems less from macro factors or ETF outflows, and more from market repricing due to MicroStrategy's new financial structure. Following a wave of preferred stock and debt issuance (STRC, STRZ, etc.), MicroStrategy must now manage cash flow to pay dividends, potentially leading to a market expectation of sustained, small-scale BTC sales to maintain its "per-share bitcoin neutral" principle. Didier views this as a financial "experiment" testing market capacity for such recurring sell pressure, which, while creating near-term structural headwinds, likely avoids a true "death spiral" absent major new external shocks. Shifting to AI, Didier argues that tokens are becoming the new form of labor, with AI models and compute (tokenized inputs) increasingly replacing human roles in execution and middle-management. This drives enterprise efficiency and higher margins, fueling the sustained rally in U.S. semiconductor, data center, and infrastructure stocks. He foresees an emerging "machine economy" where automated agents transact and collaborate on-chain. Regarding crypto exchanges offering U.S. equities, Didier sees this as a natural evolution. With few crypto-native assets generating lasting value, exchanges are pivoting towards real-world assets (RWAs) like stocks and bonds. This doesn't necessarily cannibalize crypto but reflects a maturing industry focusing on blockchain's core utilities: decentralized choice and efficient settlement. He notes that trading logic for crypto natives doesn't need to drastically change, as meme-driven and fundamentalist strategies find analogs in U.S. markets. The "1011 event" (likely referring to a major market crash) severely damaged crypto market liquidity, marking a probable end to the altcoin speculative cycle, with capital flowing towards the deeper liquidity of U.S. markets. For the macro outlook, Didier is cautious about near-term market pressure from potential mega-IPOs (e.g., SpaceX) and the U.S. midterm elections, which could bring more regulatory scrutiny. Long-term, he remains bullish on AI's productivity gains and its convergence with blockchain/Web3, predicting a shift from speculative frenzy to a more institutionalized, industrial phase for the crypto sector.

STRC Hits Historic Low, Saylor's Perpetual Motion Machine Grinds to a Halt

STRC, the perpetual preferred stock issued by MicroStrategy to fund its Bitcoin purchases, hit a historic low of $85.32, a 17% discount to its $100 par value. Designed as a "digital credit engine" to trade stably near par and enable continuous share issuance for buying Bitcoin, its plunge signals a breakdown in this model. Three key factors drove the decline: 1. Bitcoin's price fell over 50% from its peak, trading around $63,000 amid hawkish Fed signals. 2. MicroStrategy's cash reserves were depleted after a $1.5 billion convertible note repayment, slashing the dividend coverage for STRC's 11.5% yield to ~7 months. The company then sold 32 BTC to cover dividends—Michael Saylor's first Bitcoin sale since 2022—damaging the "never sell" narrative. 3. A competing Bitcoin-backed preferred stock, Strive's SATA, offers a higher yield (~13%) and daily dividends, drawing investors away from STRC. The drop triggers a negative cycle: STRC below par halts ATM share issuances, cutting off a key funding source for Bitcoin buys and potentially forcing more BTC sales for dividends, further eroding confidence. While Saylor argues the model is mathematically sound—needing only 2.3% annual Bitcoin growth to sustain itself—the market is testing the resilience of the leveraged Bitcoin treasury strategy in a bear market. The STRC price now reflects rising skepticism about this financial machinery's durability during downturns.
