当前加密货币领域最关键的问题是:机构和专业投资者是否会大规模配置加密货币?这个问题比总统选举结果、国会加密立法前景、区块链技术发展更加重要。

为什么呢?数据说明一切。当前世界上大多数投资资产主要由专业人士持有。研究表明,机构控制着美国证券市场约 80% 的份额。相比之下,机构持有的加密货币非常之少。我见过的最激进的估计是:机构可能拥有比特币总供应量的 10%。

设想一下,如果机构要持有 50% 的市场份额,他们需要购买约 5000 亿美元的比特币。毋庸置疑,这将对比特币价格产生巨大影响。

那么问题是,他们会购买吗?

比特币 ETF 上市后,美国证券交易委员会(SEC)要求机构使用 13F 表格按季度披露其 ETF 持仓情况。根据机构的披露的数据,我们现在可以回答这个问题了。最新一批涵盖 2024 年第二季度的 13F 文件于上周公布,透露了一些有趣的信息。以下是我总结出的三个关键要点:

发现 1:机构在持续购买比特币 ETF

这是最重要的发现:机构在第二季度继续购买比特币 ETF。

比特币的价格在 2024 年第二季度下跌了 12%,许多人想知道机构投资者是否会被吓跑?答案是没有。

持有比特币 ETF 的机构投资者总数环比增长 14%,从 965 家增至 1,100 家。他们在比特币 ETF 管理的总资产 (AUM) 中所占的份额也从 18.74% 增至 21.15%(散户持有 79%)。总体而言,机构投资者在本季度末持有的比特币 ETF 总额为 110 亿美元。

具体的资金流动表现健康。在第二季度,112 名在第一季度持有比特币 ETF 的投资者选择了卖出,而 247 家新公司进行了首次投资。最终,比特币 ETF 增加了 135 家新公司。

在我看来,这是一个很好的迹象。如果机构在价格波动时还在购买比特币,那么牛市时的情况难以预想。

发现 2:比特币 ETF 的机构采用速度极快

批评者常说,比特币 ETF 主要由散户投资者持有,他们持有比特币 ETF 资产管理规模的约 79%,表明机构需求疲软。

这完全是错误的。比特币 ETF 被机构采用的速度是 ETF 历史上最快的。

根据彭博社 Eric Balchunas 的一份名单,我研究了有史以来增长最快的 10 只新 ETF 的机构持仓,这些 ETF 按上市一个月后的 AUM 排名。具体来说,我研究了这些 ETF 在上市两个季度后的机构持有人数量和机构 AUM 总额,并与当前的比特币 ETF 持仓状况进行比较。

Bitwise:机构逆市加仓,比特币ETF规模正飞速壮大

增长最快的非比特币 ETF 上市两个季度后机构采用情况;数据来自 WhaleWisdom 和 Eric Balchunas;数据截至 2024 年 6 月 30 日。

这 10 只 ETF 的机构采用速度与比特币 ETF 比较差距巨大。最接近的是 Invesco 的 QQQ,它于 1999 年 3 月推出,但我找不到该基金直到 2001 年第一季度的任何历史 13F 数据。换句话说,QQQ 图表中的数字代表该基金上市九个季度后机构采用的情况。即便如此,比特币 ETF 的买家数量也是 QQQ 的 3 倍。

有些人可能会认为,将比特币 ETF 总体与单个 ETF 进行比较是不公平的。但即使你只看单个比特币 ETF,它们也会占据榜首。例如,Bitwise 的比特币 ETF(按 AUM 计算,第二季度末在比特币 ETF 中排名第四)在目前拥有的机构持有者(139 人)比 SPDR 的巨头 GLD(118 人)还多。

ETF 是一种独特的投资产品,机构投资者和散户投资者都可以持有。我们不应该让散户投资者对比特币 ETF 的历史性采用掩盖另外一个事实:比特币 ETF 也比历史上任何其他 ETF 都更受机构投资者青睐。

发现 3:大多数机构还处于试水阶段

还有一个需要注意的事实:文件显示,第二季度持有比特币 ETF 的中位投资者仅有 0.47% 的投资组合用于配置比特币。

这是一个鼓舞人心的数字。在为专业投资者管理加密货币风险 6 年之后,我们注意到一个趋势,机构倾向于随着时间的推移建立自己的头寸。许多机构从投资组合的 1% 或更少开始,但随着时间的推移,这个数字会上升到 2.5% 甚至 5%。

我预计机构投资者的比特币 ETF 投资组合一年内将超过 1%,然后持续上升。

结论:机构比特币 ETF 持仓会逐年增长

总而言之,我发现 2024 年第二季度的 13F 文件令人鼓舞。尽管比特币价格下跌,但机构在第二季度继续购买比特币 ETF。数百家新的机构投资者进行了首次购买。而且,比特币 ETF 被机构采用的速度比历史上任何 ETF 都要快。

作为 ETF.com 的前首席执行官,我见证了各种 ETF 的推出已有二十年。根据我的经验,大多数 ETF 持仓都是随着时间的推移而建立的:第一年可能是试水,但势头往往会在第二年、第三年、第四年和第五年逐渐增强。同样的事情也会发生在比特币 ETF 身上。毕竟,主要机构现在才刚刚开始开放比特币 ETF 的访问权限(摩根士丹利本月早些时候批准了它们)。我预计 2025 年比特币 ETF 的流入量将大于 2024 年,而 2026 年又将大于 2025 年。机构正在不断涌现,而且规模越来越大。

AI Sweeps the Globe, So Why Is Crypto + AI Facing Gloom?

The article "AI Sweeps the Globe, But Why Is Crypto + AI So Bleak?" analyzes the disconnect between the booming AI industry and the struggling crypto+AI sector. It argues the issue is not flawed logic but severe demand-supply mismatch across four key sub-sectors. Decentralized compute and storage projects offer theoretical benefits like cost savings and data sovereignty but lack a decisive technical edge over entrenched cloud providers (AWS, GCP). Enterprises are unwilling to risk migration for unproven infrastructure that can't guarantee the performance and reliability needed for critical AI workloads. ZKML and privacy solutions address important issues like model verification but solve non-urgent, long-term concerns for most businesses currently focused on core performance and ROI. Demand here is likely to be regulation-driven (e.g., EU AI Act) rather than organic. AI agent infrastructure is developing foundational tech for a future multi-agent economy. However, the current market phase is dominated by internal process automation within single companies, making this technology premature. AI agent payments is highlighted as the only sub-sector where blockchain competes on a level playing field with traditional finance, as neither has adequately solved the challenges of machine-to-machine micropayments and real-time settlement. Overall, crypto+AI projects are building for future needs (data ownership, decentralization, transparency) that don't align with the industry's immediate priorities (performance, cost, stability). The absence of a flagship, large-scale use case further hinders mainstream adoption and capital inflow. The path forward requires either adapting to current market demands or patiently building the foundational infrastructure for the next phase of AI.

"King of Pump Calls" Arthur Hayes Strikes Again, This Time Targeting Deribit

On June 29, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes purchased approximately 6.16 million SYN tokens via OTC platform Flowdesk for around $2.2 million. Hayes subsequently declared on X that SYN represents one of the most asymmetric investments he has seen since HYPE, stating it's time for an options DEX to challenge the dominant platform Deribit, and identifying Hypercall as that challenger. SYN's price surged over 40% following his comments, with a tenfold increase in June 2026 alone, bringing its FDV to roughly $110 million. The article details Synapse Protocol's evolution from a cross-chain messaging and liquidity network into the chain-based options trading protocol Hypercall. Hypercall, built on the Hyperliquid ecosystem's HyperEVM, aims to be a universal options exchange supporting any asset size with capped loss (limited to premium paid) and no forced liquidations. Deribit, established in 2016, remains the centralized leader in crypto options with an estimated 85% market share in BTC and ETH options and $3.588 billion in assets. Its strengths include deep liquidity and professional tools, but it faces criticisms over custody risk, KYC requirements, and regulatory uncertainty. The analysis positions Hypercall not as an immediate replacement for Deribit's entrenched network effects, but as a potential complementary and differentiated competitor, particularly for DeFi-native assets and new asset classes like RWA. The article concludes by noting Hayes's recent mixed "call" record, including fully exiting and later re-buying HYPE, and the controversial price target for CARDS from his family office Maelstrom, which was followed by a significant price drop.

AI is Sweeping the Globe, So Why is Crypto + AI in a Slump?

AI Booms, But Crypto + AI Remains Sluggish: A Demand-Side Analysis Despite the AI industry's explosive growth and massive investment, the convergence of blockchain and AI (Crypto + AI) has seen limited traction. The core issue is a severe supply-demand mismatch, not a flawed premise. Analyzing four key sub-sectors reveals specific gaps: 1. **Decentralized Compute/Storage:** Offer logical benefits like data sovereignty and cost savings but lack a decisive technical advantage over entrenched cloud giants (AWS, GCP). Enterprises prioritize performance and stability and are unwilling to bear the switching risk and uncertainty of decentralized networks. 2. **Model Verification/Privacy (e.g., ZKML):** Address important long-term issues like auditability and data privacy, but these are not urgent operational pain points for most businesses today. Widespread demand will likely follow regulatory mandates (like the EU AI Act), not precede them. 3. **AI Agent Infrastructure:** Projects are building infrastructure for a future of autonomous, interacting agents. However, the current market focus is on internal process automation within corporate firewalls. The technology is ahead of market readiness. 4. **AI Agent Payments:** This is the only sub-sector where blockchain is on a level playing field with traditional finance. Both are trying to solve the unsolved problem of real-time, micro-transactions for machines, making it the most immediately competitive area. The overarching problem is that the AI industry invests heavily in solutions that solve immediate bottlenecks (e.g., faster memory, more power). Most Crypto + AI solutions target secondary, longer-term concerns (decentralization, transparency) and often come with performance trade-offs. The lack of a flagship, large-scale commercial success case further hinders mainstream capital inflow. The path forward requires either aligning more closely with the current industry's performance demands or patiently building the foundational infrastructure for the next phase of AI.

Continuous Net Outflows from ETFs, Are Institutions Exiting?

US spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced approximately $6 billion in net outflows over the past six weeks, marking the longest consecutive weekly withdrawal streak since their launch in 2024. The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) from BlackRock has been particularly affected, accounting for over 70% of recent outflows. On-chain analysis indicates that long-term Bitcoin holders (holding for over 155 days), who control about 83% of the circulating supply, remain steadfast. The selling pressure is primarily coming from allocators who entered through ETF brokerage accounts. This represents the first major collective capitulation since Bitcoin gained mainstream Wall Street recognition, driven more by risk-off portfolio adjustments than a fundamental rejection of the asset. Factors such as rising inflation, a hawkish shift in Federal Reserve policy, massive capital inflows into AI infrastructure, and attractive IPO opportunities have redirected speculative funds. Bitcoin, treated as a high-beta risk asset, was among the first to be sold. While the pace of outflows has slowed significantly—from $1.72 billion in early June to $226.8 million mid-month—the structural issue remains. IBIT's large size means its outflows alone exert substantial market pressure. With spot market volume thin, new capital inflows absent, and ETF buying muted, the market lacks sufficient buying support to absorb this selling. The coming sessions are critical. If IBIT outflows decelerate and Bitcoin reclaims $60,000, this phase could be seen as a healthy reset. However, if heavy IBIT redemptions resume and the price falls below $58,000, it would signal a more sustained institutional exit, requiring non-ETF buyers to shoulder the entire selling pressure alone. The ETF, while lowering entry barriers, has not removed Bitcoin's inherent volatility.

Introduction to the Concept of World Models: A Story from Psychology to the Main Battlefield of AI

**World Models: From Psychology to AI's Core Concept** "World model" is a trending but often confusing term in AI, describing a system that allows machines to internally simulate, predict, and rehearse potential outcomes before taking real-world action—like a mental "sandbox." While definitions vary—Yann LeCun emphasizes physical understanding, OpenAI's Sora is a video-based "world simulator," Google DeepMind's Genie 3 creates interactive 3D environments, and companies like Alibaba and Tesla focus on practical applications—the core goal is consistent: reduce reliance on vast real-world data by creating an internal, predictive model for safer and more efficient AI. The concept has deep roots, tracing back to psychologist Kenneth Craik (1943). In AI, it was revitalized by researchers like David Ha and Jürgen Schmidhuber (2018). Major technical approaches include: 1) generative video models (e.g., Sora) for visual realism; 2) abstract predictive models (e.g., LeCun's JEPA) for efficiency and physical reasoning; and 3) explicit 3D simulators (e.g., NVIDIA Omniverse) for precision. Fei-Fei Li proposes a classification based on the AI action loop: renderers (output observations), simulators (output world states), and planners (output actions). The emerging "World Action Model" (WAM) paradigm aims to unify future prediction and action generation. An industry framework is forming: upstream (data, compute, sensors), midstream (general and vertical platforms), and downstream applications (autonomous driving, robotics, gaming, etc.). Autonomous driving is currently the most mature use case. The current lack of a unified definition reflects the field's early, dynamic stage, similar to past tech revolutions. Different approaches—focusing on pixels, physics, or behavior—represent parallel explorations of how best to compress and understand the world. This diversity, while seemingly chaotic, signals that world models have moved from an academic idea to a critical industrial battleground, ultimately aiming to give machines the ability to understand, imagine, and reason about the world.

DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): A Comprehensive Analysis Introduction to DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a blockchain-based project operating on the Solana network, which aims to combine the characteristics of traditional precious metals with the innovation of decentralized technologies. While it shares a name with Bitcoin, often referred to as “digital gold” due to its perception as a store of value, DIGITAL GOLD is a separate token designed to create a unique ecosystem within the Web3 landscape. Its goal is to position itself as a viable alternative digital asset, although specifics regarding its applications and functionalities are still developing. What is DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a cryptocurrency token explicitly designed for use on the Solana blockchain. In contrast to Bitcoin, which provides a widely recognized value storage role, this token appears to focus on broader applications and characteristics. Notable aspects include: Blockchain Infrastructure: The token is built on the Solana blockchain, known for its capacity to handle high-speed and low-cost transactions. Supply Dynamics: DIGITAL GOLD has a maximum supply capped at 100 quadrillion tokens (100P $BITCOIN), although details regarding its circulating supply are currently undisclosed. Utility: While precise functionalities are not explicitly outlined, there are indications that the token could be utilized for various applications, potentially involving decentralized applications (dApps) or asset tokenization strategies. Who is the Creator of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? At present, the identity of the creators and development team behind DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) remains unknown. This situation is typical among many innovative projects within the blockchain space, particularly those aligning with decentralized finance and meme coin phenomena. While such anonymity may foster a community-driven culture, it intensifies concerns about governance and accountability. Who are the Investors of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? The available information indicates that DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) does not have any known institutional backers or prominent venture capital investments. The project seems to operate on a peer-to-peer model focused on community support and adoption rather than traditional funding routes. Its activity and liquidity are primarily situated on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as PumpSwap, rather than established centralized trading platforms, further highlighting its grassroots approach. How DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) Works The operational mechanics of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) can be elaborated on based on its blockchain design and network attributes: Consensus Mechanism: By leveraging Solana’s unique proof-of-history (PoH) combined with a proof-of-stake (PoS) model, the project ensures efficient transaction validation contributing to the network's high performance. Tokenomics: While specific deflationary mechanisms have not been extensively detailed, the vast maximum token supply implies that it may cater to microtransactions or niche use cases that are still to be defined. Interoperability: There exists the potential for integration with Solana’s broader ecosystem, including various decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. However, the details regarding specific integrations remain unspecified. Timeline of Key Events Here is a timeline that highlights significant milestones concerning DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): 2023: The initial deployment of the token occurs on the Solana blockchain, marked by its contract address. 2024: DIGITAL GOLD gains visibility as it becomes available for trading on decentralized exchanges like PumpSwap, allowing users to trade it against SOL. 2025: The project witnesses sporadic trading activity and potential interest in community-led engagements, although no noteworthy partnerships or technical advancements have been documented as of yet. Critical Analysis Strengths Scalability: The underlying Solana infrastructure supports high transaction volumes, which could enhance the utility of $BITCOIN in various transaction scenarios. Accessibility: The potential low trading price per token could attract retail investors, facilitating wider participation due to fractional ownership opportunities. Risks Lack of Transparency: The absence of publicly known backers, developers, or an audit process may yield skepticism regarding the project's sustainability and trustworthiness. Market Volatility: The trading activity is heavily reliant on speculative behavior, which can result in significant price volatility and uncertainty for investors. Conclusion DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) emerges as an intriguing yet ambiguous project within the rapidly evolving Solana ecosystem. While it attempts to leverage the “digital gold” narrative, its departure from Bitcoin's established role as a store of value underscores the need for a clearer differentiation of its intended utility and governance structure. Future acceptance and adoption will likely depend on addressing the current opacity and defining its operational and economic strategies more explicitly. Note: This report encompasses synthesised information available as of October 2023, and developments may have transpired beyond the research period.
