Криптовалютный миллионер потерял $43 млн

Популярный криптомиллионер Джеймс Фикель с начала января этого года потерял на рынке более $43 млн. Это произошло на фоне того, что его непогашенный кредит на площадке Aave превысил отметку $132 млн. Сам Фикель считается одним из первых инвесторов Ethereum. Также он основал сервис Amaranth Foundation.

Согласно данным Lookonchain, инвестор ожидал, что в этом году эфир существенно укрепит свои позиции по отношению к биткоину. Однако ожидания Фикеля не оправдались. Дело в том, что с начала 2024 года котировки Ethereum упали относительно Bitcoin почти на 24%. Пока инвестор не стремится избавляться от убыточной сделки. Это указывает на то, что он продолжает верить в устойчивый рост эфира по отношению к биткоину. Следует отметить, что Фикель инвестировал порядка $400 тыс. в Ethereum еще в тот момент, когда его рыночная стоимость не превышала $0,8.

Между тем спотовые эфир-ETF продолжают испытывать активный отток средств. С момента своего появления они потеряли более $581 млн. Львиная доля совокупного оттока пришлась на фонд, эмитентом которого стала компания Grayscale. По сути оправдались прогнозы многих экспертов. Немало специалистов предполагали, что Ethereum-ETF не смогут повторить успех аналогичных инвестиционных продуктов на биткоин.

Между тем сам флагман крипторынка продолжает укреплять свои позиции с 7 сентября. Недавно его котировки уверенно достигли круглой отметки $60 000. По словам ряда исследователей рынка, если цене удастся закрепиться выше данного уровня, то с большой долей вероятности устойчивый рост продолжится. За минувшие 7 дней биткоин прибавил порядка 9,5%. Ethereum в этом плане отстает, поскольку актив подорожал чуть более, чем на 5%.

Airwallex's Pivot: From Dismissing Stablecoins a Year Ago to Making High-Profile Investments Today

Airwallex, a major cross-border payments fintech, has made a notable strategic shift by leading a seed round investment in Metal, a tokenized financial settlement network. This move is significant given that Airwallex founder Jack Zhang was a prominent critic of stablecoins just a year prior, arguing they failed to reduce costs for mainstream currency corridors and lacked clear utility. The investment targets Metal, a Layer-1 blockchain designed for the tokenization and settlement of assets like stocks, bonds, and stablecoins, aiming for the institutional market. Metal's team includes veterans from Ren Protocol and Meta's Diem project. For Airwallex, this partnership integrates tokenized finance into its global payments network, providing a new settlement layer. Despite his company's investment, Zhang maintains a distinction, stating his skepticism toward "cryptocurrencies" remains, while classifying regulated, asset-backed stablecoins as a separate category. This stance reflects a broader trend of traditional finance (TradFi) cautiously engaging with crypto infrastructure. Companies like Stripe, Mastercard, and major banks are similarly exploring stablecoin payments and tokenization networks, recognizing their potential in emerging markets and 24/7 settlement. The article concludes that Airwallex's investment is less a change of belief and more a strategic necessity to secure a position in the evolving landscape of digital asset settlement, where stablecoins are becoming a key interface for global finance.

Spicy Review|Is the "Most Emotionally Valuable" Post Here? Could STRC Be the Next LUNA?

Here is an English summary of the article (under 1500 characters): This article from the spicy commentary series "LaPing" covers three key stories in the crypto world for the week. First, during a sharp market downturn in June where BTC fell over 20%, a Reddit post on r/Cryptocurrency rallying against "Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD)" went viral. The comment section became a hub for retail traders to share memes and encouragement, with many advocating holding (HODLing) through the volatility, embodying the "be fearful when others are greedy" mantra. Second, it examines the situation with STRG (Strategy's perpetual preferred stock), which has "de-pegged," trading around $76 vs. its $100 face value, a ~25% discount. The concern is whether Michael Saylor's company, MicroStrategy, can sustain the $1.2 billion annual dividend payment, given its ~$1.4 billion cash reserve. While analysts note STRG is fundamentally different from the catastrophic LUNA collapse—as Saylor isn't obligated to pay the dividend—risks remain. If MicroStrategy's (MSTR) common stock investors feel their capital is being prioritized for STRG dividends, it could hurt MSTR demand. Third, the article analyzes the online persona of "Chuan Mu," a trader famous for turning $500 into $1 million during the 2023 ORDI inscription boom and again with short positions in 2025. An analysis of his 1,828 tweets reveals his success stems from a top-down analytical framework, asking systemic questions like "Where will the bottleneck be in the AI supply chain?" rather than chasing individual pumps. His investments migrated from crypto-linked stocks to AI infrastructure plays like SK Hynix and Samsung. However, the piece also notes criticism that he has occasionally "pumped" assets and sold positions without notifying followers, creating a contradictory public image. The weekly recap highlights themes of community sentiment during bear markets, financial instrument risks, and the complex realities of following influential online traders.
