Blockstream получает $210 млн инвестиций

После шумихи вокруг Blockstream и появления его соучредителя и генерального директора Адама Бэка в документальном фильме HBO на прошлой неделе, разработчик инфраструктуры биткоина объявил, что привлек $210 млн в рамках раунда финансирования конвертируемыми облигациями под руководством Fulgur Ventures.

Новый капитал будет использован для ускорения принятия и развития Bitcoin от Blockstream.

Компания заявила в своем заявлении, что планирует расширить свои операции по майнингу «в рамках подготовки к следующему циклу рынка биткоина» и увеличить свою казну биткоинов.

«Этот последний сбор средств представляет собой решающий момент для Blockstream, поскольку мы вступаем в новую важную фазу роста, чтобы еще больше сократить разрыв между Bitcoin и более широким миром финансов», — сказал Бэк.

Решения уровня 2 компании Blockstream включают Liquid Network — федеративный сайдчейн Bitcoin, который может развертывать несколько типов токенизированных активов, и Core Lightning — реализацию Lightning Network, предназначенную для обеспечения более быстрых и дешевых транзакций Bitcoin.

Blockstream стремится извлечь выгоду из растущего интереса к биткоину как классу активов и более широкого потенциала токенизации в целом, чтобы позиционировать Liquid как «фактическую инфраструктуру» для токенизации реальных активов в экосистеме биткоина.

Компания утверждает, что на сегодняшний день на Liquid было выпущено более $1,8 млрд активов, включая стейблкоины, токенизированные облигации и ценные бумаги, при этом более 3844 BTC (около $250 млн) заблокированы в блокчейне. Предложения токенизированных ценных бумаг криптовалютной биржи Bitfinex являются примером продуктов, использующих платформу. Другим примером является выпуск STOKR MicroStrategy Note, CMSTR, полностью обеспеченных акциями MicroStrategy, которые можно торговать в одноранговой сети против биткоинов на Liquid DEX SideSwap.

В прошлом месяце Blockstream также запустила третью серию собственного токена безопасности BMN2, который обеспечивает прямой доступ к хэшрейту биткоинов компании.

Майкл Минкевич присоединяется в качестве главного операционного директора в рамках расширения руководства

Тем временем во вторник компания Blockstream также объявила о присоединении Майкла Минкевича к своей руководящей команде: бывший руководитель отдела разработки продуктов в глобальном поставщике ИТ-услуг Luxoft займет должность главного операционного директора.

«Blockstream обладает уникальным продуктовым портфелем и одной из лучших команд инженеров, создающих надежные решения для Bitcoin, что делает ее идеально подходящей для руководства продолжающейся трансформацией финтех-индустрии», — заявил Минкевич после своего назначения.

«Мы особенно рады приветствовать Майкла Минкевича на посту главного операционного директора и благодарны за поддержку Fulgur Ventures, чей совокупный опыт будет иметь решающее значение, поскольку мы стремимся извлечь выгоду из новых возможностей в финансовой отрасли и других ключевых секторах», — добавил Бэк.

Gate Research Institute: ETF Outflows Suppress Risk Appetite, Two-Way System Navigates Weak Market

Gate Institute Research Report: May 2026 Crypto Market Review & Strategy Analysis In May 2026, the crypto market shifted from an early-month rally to a mid-month correction, concluding with low-volatility consolidation. BTC, ETH, and SOL peaked in early May before declining. The primary market dynamic was a divergence between weakening spot ETF inflows and persistently high leverage-driven perpetual trading volume. A dual-direction moving average cluster breakout strategy outperformed, returning +2.11% for an equally-weighted BTC/ETH/SOL portfolio. This contrasted with a -6.09% return for buy-and-hold and -3.65% for a long-only version of the strategy. Profits were primarily generated from short positions on ETH and SOL during the mid-to-late May downtrend, demonstrating the month's suitability for two-way trend trading. Market structure evolved in three phases: an initial surge (May 1-6), a failure and reversal (starting May 7), and low-volatility compression (May 22 onward). While stablecoin supply remained stable, significant outflows from mainstream BTC and ETH ETFs created selling pressure. Concurrently, high correlation with the S&P 500 (~0.6) and stronger performance from AI equities like Nvidia highlighted crypto's position as a high-beta risk asset within a broader risk-budget framework, lacking independent momentum. The successful strategy employed a 4-hour chart system using a cluster of six moving averages (EMA6,12,24 & SMA6,12,24). A breakout signal was triggered after the cluster width compressed below 2.2%. Trades were managed with a 2.5% fixed stop-loss, a 3:1 Risk/Reward (7.5%) take-profit, and an EMA12-based exit rule to control losses from false breakouts. The strategy's low win rate but high payoff from a few large trend moves was effective in May's conditions. The report concludes that for June, a disciplined, bidirectional approach remains superior to subjective directional bets. The framework should adapt signal weighting based on BTC's position relative to key EMAs, ETF flow trends, and the relative strength of the Nasdaq, prioritizing risk management and trend preservation.

Anthropic CEO's Latest Interview: On Technological Explosion, Safety Red Lines, and the Civilization Contract

Interview with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei covers the intense pressures and ethical dilemmas of leading AI development. He describes the experience as "exponential growth," feeling constant acceleration akin to relativistic time dilation. The discussion delves into his departure from OpenAI, rooted in a fundamental loss of trust and divergent values rather than mere technical disagreements. Amodei emphasizes Anthropic's enterprise-focused business model, arguing it aligns better with safety and responsible deployment than consumer-facing, ad-driven models. He addresses critical issues like AI's impact on employment, advocating for proactive macroeconomic policies and a shift towards "doing more with the same resources" to avoid widespread job displacement. On safety and governance, he details Anthropic's cautious approach, including delaying the release of the powerful "Mythos" model due to its advanced cyber capabilities. He stresses the need for "human-in-the-loop" principles in military applications, setting red lines against autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. Amodei calls for industry collaboration among trustworthy actors to establish standards and advocates for a balanced regulatory framework with checks and balances, such as Anthropic's Long-term Benefit Trust, rather than corporate or government monopoly over the technology. He expresses geopolitical concerns, particularly regarding China, and a belief that AI should bolster liberal democracies. While acknowledging a non-zero risk of civilizational catastrophe from advanced AI, he asserts Anthropic's actions are aimed at significantly reducing that probability. The interview concludes with Amodei arguing that trust must be earned through concrete actions, like sacrificing commercial gain for safety, to distinguish Anthropic in a Silicon Valley landscape he criticizes for eroded public trust.

The Brutal Truth Behind CARDS' $535M FDV: Only $43M in Net Revenue and Halved Profit Margins

The article titled "The Brutal Truth Behind CARDS' $535 Million FDV: Only $43 Million Net Revenue, Profit Margins Halved" provides a critical analysis of Collector Crypt (CC), a platform combining physical collectible cards with NFTs in a gacha-style system. Key findings include: * CC has generated $635 million in total user deposits. However, 90.6% ($576 million) is instantly returned to users via automatic card buybacks, resulting in only $43 million in net platform revenue (6.7% retention). * Activity is highly concentrated among dozens of high-frequency wallets, with an average of only ~420 daily active players. * There is minimal secondary market activity for the cards (under $5 million total), indicating the platform functions more as a gambling casino than a collector's marketplace. eBay sales as a percentage of gacha volume have declined for six consecutive quarters. * Despite a tripling in transaction volume, net profit margins have been halved from 11.2% to 5.8% as activity shifts to higher-priced card packs with lower margins. * Value captured by the CARDS token is minimal: only $140,000 (from burns and recent buybacks), representing just 3.4% of CC's cumulative net revenue. In contrast, wallets linked to operational infrastructure have off-ramped $45.7 million in USDC. * The token's ~$535 million Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) represents a 7.3x multiple of annualized net revenue. Only 20.5% of the token supply is floating, with 72% allocated to insiders and locked until November 2027. The conclusion is that CC has found product-market fit as a high-speed gambling platform for a niche user base, not as a growing collector economy. The token currently captures a negligible share of the platform's revenue.
