Polymarket 10亿美元的胜利——“特朗普vs哈里斯”是唯一的责任吗?

币界网报道:
    Polymarket的累计交易量超过10亿美元,每周活跃用户也增长了14倍以上

对于加密货币领域及其社区来说,这是忙碌而富有成效的一年。不仅比特币和以太坊现货ETF获得批准,两党政治领导人也在排队支持加密货币。不用说,一些项目从中受益匪浅。流行的去中心化预测平台Polymarket就是其中之一。

Polymarket的用户使用加密货币买卖股票,以押注现实世界的事件。在过去的6个月里,随着美国选举周期的加速,越来越多的人开始使用Polymarket进行此类押注。

事实上,就在最近,它在图表上的累计交易量超过了10亿美元,仅7月份就记录了超过3.87亿美元的数字。

但这还不是全部。月活跃交易者从6月的2940万增至7月的4450万,未平仓合约也飙升至9000万美元。每周活跃用户从约1400人增长到20000多人,增长了约14倍。

现在,大多数分析人士认为,美国正在进行的选举周期与这种兴趣激增有关。而且,值得称赞的是,我们也有充分的理由相信这一点,尤其是在人们押注“谁将成为下一任美国总统”的情况下占Polymarket总交易量的45%以上。

然而,根据Polymarket最大的单一投资者ParaFi Capital的说法,这并不能告诉我们全部情况。在X上的一条病毒式传播的帖子中,这家资产管理公司声称,

“在使用Polymarket的近7万个地址中,只有42%是在与选举相关的市场进行首次交易的。另外58%,即约4万名用户,最初是在非选举市场进行交易的,包括文化、商业、科学和宏观市场。”

也,

“在28000多名在选举相关市场首次下注的用户中,56%的用户随后在不同的市场进行了交易。”

过去几个月,与选举相关的市场交易量飙升,与其他现实世界事件相关的交易量也飙升。美国证券交易委员会对现货以太坊ETF的批准时间表就是一个很好的例子,这一事件刺激了累计交易量增加了1300万美元。

在这里,其他市场包括对奥运会奖牌数的投注、泰勒·斯威夫特的参与统计数据,以及对GPT-5可能推出日期的投注。

简单地说,虽然Polymarket的实用性和受欢迎程度在这个选举周期中飙升,但仅凭这些政治事件并没有决定该平台在过去几个月的交易量。

在这里,值得一提的是,在该平台最近取得成功的基础上,该平台的高管们正在考虑不同的策略,特别是那些以盈利为目标的策略。向平台增加费用是目前正在探索的一个想法。

Foundation Steps Back, Ethlabs Steps Forward: Ethereum Undergoes Its Largest Restructuring in History

On June 23rd, the Ethereum ecosystem witnessed two major shifts, signaling a significant governance realignment. First, former Ethereum Foundation researchers established Ethlabs, a new independent non-profit. Backed by major ETH holders like Bitmine and SharpLink, Ethlabs aims to address practical needs for institutional adoption, including faster settlement, native asset issuance, cross-chain transactions, and mainnet scaling. Secondly, the Ethereum Foundation announced a major restructuring, laying off 54 employees (20% of its staff) to become a leaner entity focused on protocol governance and maintenance rather than being the primary builder. This move represents a pivotal correction. Criticisms had mounted over the Foundation's perceived slowness, lack of clear strategy, and over-reliance on Vitalik Buterin's influence. Ethlabs emerges as a more execution-oriented, "industrialized" layer focused on market adoption—bridging the gap between research and real-world use. Notably, Vitalik Buterin is absent from its list of supporters, interpreted as an intentional step to avoid excessive personal endorsement and allow the organization to build independent credibility. The Ethereum Foundation's downsizing and redefinition mark a retreat from its former central coordinating role. It now aims to share the "privilege of stewarding Ethereum" with other emerging groups like Ethlabs, the Ethereum Applications Guild, and The Ethereum Economic Zone. Analysts frame this dual shift as the Foundation ensuring Ethereum remains "correct" (credibly neutral), while Ethlabs must prove it remains "effective" (competitive and attractive for capital and adoption). This addresses community "shareholder-like anxiety" about ETH's market performance. While risks exist—such as concerns over shifting from Foundation centrality to large-holder influence—the consensus is that the greater risk for Ethereum was inaction, caught between technical idealism and organizational inertia. These steps aim to create a more multi-stakeholder, execution-driven future for the network.

Second Half of U.S. Crypto Policy: The Clarity Act Aims for 60 Votes, CFTC's "One-Person Commission" Becomes Biggest Variable

In a pivotal year for US crypto policy, the "CLARITY Act" is advancing in the Senate but faces a high hurdle, needing 60 votes to pass. Key challenges include bridging partisan divides on ethics and swaying undecided Republican senators within a tight legislative calendar of only about 40 working days. The policy "second half" involves intense negotiations on a broader framework for Web3 and DeFi, including crypto tax reforms and the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. A significant uncertainty is the understaffed CFTC, operating with four commissioner vacancies, which complicates regulatory clarity. Meanwhile, the departure of key "crypto champions"—SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and Senator Cynthia Lummis—will impact ongoing policy efforts. Industry experts are cautiously optimistic but realistic. Sara K. Weed notes that while progress is being made, CLARITY is unlikely to pass this Congress, pushing agencies like the SEC and CFTC to provide more guidance. Sulolit Mukherjee suggests meaningful crypto tax legislation is more likely to be attached to larger must-pass bills. Rashan Colbert discusses the jurisdictional debate over prediction markets, emphasizing the need for a regulatory framework that fosters their development as financial tools rather than treating them broadly as gambling. The clock is ticking, but opportunities remain for substantive progress through continued bipartisan dialogue and pragmatic efforts.

Research Report Analysis: Morgan Stanley Details SanDisk SNDK, The Truth About Cloud Data Center Pricing Power and AI Inference Benefits

Morgan Stanley raised its price target for SanDisk (SNDK) from $1100 to $1750 on June 22, maintaining an Overweight rating. The upgrade is driven by AI inference demand reshaping the NAND market, particularly for KV Cache and context window storage in cloud data centers. These cloud clients exhibit price inelasticity and sign long-term contracts, granting SanDisk significant pricing power. SanDisk's New Business Model (NBM) agreements, covering over one-third of FY27 bit shipments with 3-5 year terms and fixed price/price collar structures, are crucial. They are projected to sustain gross margins around 80% even at floor prices, providing a buffer against cyclical downturns. Morgan Stanley forecasts gross margins to surge from 30.3% in FY25 to 86.7% in FY27e. With NAND supply expected to remain tight into 2026/2027 and cloud/data centers becoming the largest end-market, SanDisk holds supply-side pricing power. The company targets 15-19% bit growth via technology transitions, not capacity expansion. Revenue is projected to grow ~6.6x from FY25 to FY27, with EPS rising from $2.74 to $14.73, driven by high-margin cloud business. Key upside catalysts include faster enterprise SSD adoption and edge AI growth. Downside risks involve slower industry growth, competitor capex increases, market share loss, and competition from Chinese players like YMTC. The investment thesis rests on AI-driven structural demand, NBM's margin protection, and sustained supply tightness. The $1750 target implies ~28x FY27e P/E.
