摘要

  • Mt. Gox的赔偿计划在2024年7月1日至10月31日期间将向Mt. Gox债权人分发价值数十亿美元的BTC和BCH。在这4个月期间,这可能会导致BTC和BCH的供需动态发生变化,从而可能开启配对交易机会。

  • 我们的分析表明,BCH 的抛售压力将是 BTC 的四倍。假设是:1)对于 BTC,只有一小部分会被出售,因为债权人大多是“手握钻石”的富有的比特币持有者; 2) 对于 BCH,鉴于其投资者基础要弱得多,短期内将出售 100%。

  • 多头 BTC 永续合约与空头 BCH 永续合约配对是表达这一观点的最有效的市场中性方式,除非存在资金利率风险。那些希望锁定融资利率的人可以探索其他方法,例如短期期货或在现货市场借入 BCH。

前言

Mt.Gox 发布的《关于开始使用比特币和比特币现金还款的通知》于 6 月 24 日明确表示,Mt.Gox选择所谓“早期一次性付款(如下所述)”的还款将于 2024 年 7 月 1 日至 10 月 31 日之间进行。这将导致 BTC 和 BCH 在这 4 个月期间的供需动态发生变化,可能会开启配对交易机会。本报告将详细探讨这一点。

Mt. Gox的偿还计划

Mt.Gox 曾经是全球最大的比特币交易所,直到 2014 年初因损失了客户持有的近 100 万比特币而关闭。其中一些资产后来被找到。受托人正在努力根据计划偿还债权人。

根据该计划,Mt. Gox 债权人可以选择根据迄今为止收回的资产进行小幅削减,“提前”获得补偿,而不是等待“完全收回”。这种选择通常被称为“提前一次性付款(ELSP)”对于想要确定预付款的债权人来说,这将是首选。另一种选择是坚持下去,希望资产追回取得进一步进展,同时承担可能影响还款金额的各种风险,例如目前正在进行的 CoinLab 诉讼。由于这两个问题的结果都不确定,也没有明确的时间表,因此大多数债权人更愿意提前退出。 ELSP的亮点如下(图2)。

目前的主流说法是,数十亿美元的还款将淹没供应并导致抛售,因为还款的接受者会成群结队地套现。虽然这样的前景肯定会令市场感到不安,但评估它是否真的会产生重大影响需要更仔细的分析。一般来说,只有当 1) 卖方面临时间压力,或 2) 持有资产的机会成本被认为很高时,任何市场中所谓的“悬而未决”风险才会出现。评估所讨论的两种资产(即 BTC 和 BCH)的这两点,我们可以观察到不同的动态在发挥作用。

分析Mt. Gox的债权人

我们的分析受到 Galaxy Digital 研究主管 Alex Thorn 的“X”主题的启发,该主题为思考该问题提供了一个出色的框架。我们在下面复制了他的表格,并补充了其他数据以确保清晰。

评估债权人在收到还款后可能会如何行事,需要更仔细地了解他们是谁。上表显示,除个人债权人外,最大的两个债权人群体是“索赔基金”和Bitcoinica。索赔基金本质上是机构“秃鹫基金”,其目的是以大幅折扣购买破产索赔。Fortress Investment Group和Off The Chain Capital是Mt. Gox交易中的主要参与者。在过去的几年里,索赔基金已经从陷入困境的卖家那里积累了大量的BTC索赔,根据Alex的估计,现在有20,000个BTC。Bitcoinica是一家已经倒闭的新西兰比特币交易所,在Mt. Gox上有多达1万比特币的存款。

Alex 在他的帖子中指出:

  • 他的分析假设 75% 的债权人接受 ELSP。

  • 索赔基金不太可能立即出售,因为他们的有限合伙人由早期的比特币持有者组成,他们已经很富有,并希望以折扣价积累更多资金。

  • 作为一家正在经历破产程序的不存在的交易所,Bitcoinica 不太可能清算其所持股份。

  • 目前的个人债权人群体可能是“大手笔”,因为他们选择将其债权保留十年,抵制债权基金的积极出价。实力较弱的债权人有很多机会退出,而且他们很可能已经这么做了。

考虑到上述情况,我们通过添加债权人偿还进入市场的部分的假设来扩展Alex的原始分析。具体来说,对于 BTC,我们假设由于上述原因只会出售一小部分。对于 BCH,我们假设 100% 将在短期内出售(图 4)。考虑到比特币现金分叉是在 Mt. Gox 破产事件发生三年后发生的。这里的假设是 Mt. Gox 债权人并没有意识到比特币现金的原因,并且更有可能像任何加密货币狂热交易者处理空投一样对待他们的 BCH 付款 —— 即立即兑现或兑换成 BTC。我们将这些假设应用于图 3 中的数据,以得出可能的 BTC 和 BCH 清算的美元价值。与 BCH 相比,其交易量要小得多。 由于BCH的交易量比BTC小得多,因此BCH的抛售压力要比BTC大得多——即BTC的日交易价值占6%,而BCH的日交易价值占24%。

图 4:BCH 的抛售压力是 BTC 的 4 倍

以市场中性的方式利用这种不对称供应风险的最佳方式是做多 BTC 敞口,同时做空 BCH 敞口。这可以用几种不同的方式来表达,但最有效的是永续期货(perps)市场。永续经营者面临资金利率波动的风险,但与快速建立和解除双边赌注的便利性相比,这种风险很容易相形见绌。

例如,让我们看一下通过币安 USD-M 期货来表达这一交易。 2024 年,做多 BTCUSDT 永续合约和空头 BCHUSDT 永续合约的平均年化净资金利率为 13%(图 5)。如果您进入该交易 3 个月,盈亏平衡门槛将为 3.25%。鉴于 BTC/BCH 比率目前为 161,该比率升至 193 的局部最高点(+20% 的上涨空间)将清除障碍率,并产生扣除融资成本后 17% 的市场中性回报。该比率的历史最高点是 2023 年 5 月的 252。

此外,那些希望锁定融资利率的人可以探索其他方法,例如短期期货或在现货市场借入标的资产。一些交易所提供 BCH/BTC 货币对交易,尽管流动性较低(图 6)。

Vitalik's Algorithmic Stablecoin Vision: Interpreting the Mechanism and Challenges from an Options Perspective

Vitalik Buterin's recent algorithmic stablecoin proposal envisions using an option-like mechanism to create a stablecoin without the liquidation risks inherent in traditional collateralized debt position (CDP) models. The design splits one unit of ETH into two components: a 'stable' leg (P) that maintains value up to a certain strike price, and an 'upside' leg (N) that captures any appreciation above that price. Together, they always sum to one ETH, eliminating the need for debt or liquidation mechanisms. From an options perspective, the stable leg essentially functions as a synthetic, covered call position. However, significant challenges exist. For the stable asset to maintain its peg, it must continuously roll deep in-the-money call options, leading to potential rollover slippage, predictable trading paths vulnerable to front-running, and liquidity issues. Crucially, the system's scalability depends on a constant demand for the upside leg—a form of leveraged ETH long position without funding rates or liquidation risk. It's unclear if such persistent, specific demand will materialize from speculators or market makers who have simpler alternatives like perpetual swaps. The author, drawing from experience with Rysk, argues that DeFi options have struggled as standalone trading products due to complexity and fragmented liquidity. Their potential lies instead as foundational infrastructure underpinning more complex financial primitives like stablecoins, structured yields, or index products—transforming from a direct product into a core pricing and risk distribution engine for the next generation of on-chain finance.

GPT-5.6 Countdown: Abandon the Illusion of a Single API, Computational Iteration Can't Outpace a Single Page of Compliance

In mid-June, three seemingly independent industry events—the compliance-driven throttling of Fable 5, the open-sourcing of GLM-5.2, and the leaked release timeline for GPT-5.6—are pushing the global AI industry toward a watershed moment. These shifts signal a fundamental restructuring of the industry's underlying logic. First, **"usability" has substantially overtaken "advanced capabilities"** as the primary weight, pushing the global large language model (LLM) supply chain into a "dual-track" phase of controlled closed-source and local open-source coexistence. Second, **the competitive moats of closed-source giants are shifting**. Their technical focus is moving from "language intelligence" toward "spatial intelligence (world models)"—a domain heavily reliant on computing power. Third, faced with常态化 transnational compliance risks, **a "model-agnostic" decoupled design has become a survival necessity for application-layer developers to maintain business continuity.** The article details how Anthropic's Fable 5, despite its advanced engineering feats, was restricted for non-U.S. citizens within 72 hours of launch, highlighting how geopolitical compliance can instantly limit even the most advanced models. In response, the open-source camp, exemplified by Zhipu AI's MIT-licensed GLM-5.2, is gaining market share by offering stable performance improvements and significant cost advantages (up to 70% savings for enterprises), while achieving full adaptation with domestic semiconductor platforms. Meanwhile, closed-source leaders like OpenAI are pivoting. The anticipated GPT-5.6 reportedly shifts focus from language to spatial intelligence and world models, aiming to rebuild a generational gap in areas like 3D understanding, simulation, and industrial design that demand immense compute. The core conclusion is that the LLM supply chain's logic has changed. Enterprises must now evaluate infrastructure based on a composite of technical performance and policy compliance. For developers, complete reliance on a single closed-source API poses unacceptable risk. Implementing a truly model-agnostic architecture—enabling swift switches to compliant, locally deployable open-source alternatives—is no longer just good practice but a fundamental baseline for business continuity.

Is the 'Token Subsidy War' Among AI Giants Almost Over?

The article discusses the ongoing "token subsidy war" among AI giants like OpenAI and Anthropic, questioning whether it's nearing its end. It reveals that current AI subscription prices are heavily subsidized, with some plans offering tokens at up to 70 times the actual cost to attract and retain heavy users, especially developers and enterprises. This strategy mirrors past internet-era subsidy battles, but with a key difference: AI tokens lack "lock-in" effects. Unlike ride-hailing or food delivery apps, users can easily switch between AI providers as APIs become standardized, making it difficult for companies to raise prices post-subsidy. The piece highlights a structural asymmetry in the competition. Giants like Google, with massive advertising revenue, can afford to subsidize tokens indefinitely, akin to using "tokens as a weapon." In contrast, venture-backed companies like OpenAI and Anthropic face pressure to become profitable, especially as they approach IPO. The article cites Google Ventures founder Bill Maris, who suggests Google could slash token prices by 80%, putting immense pressure on competitors. Two potential endgames are presented: the "internet service" model (subsidize, monopolize, then raise prices) and the "utility" model (tokens become a standardized, low-margin commodity like electricity). Given the low switching costs, the latter seems more likely. The competition may not have a single winner but could instead accelerate AI's evolution into a foundational, infrastructure-level technology, akin to a public utility. For now, users continue to benefit from heavily subsidized token costs.
