2024 年上半年,二次收益的概念掀起市场沸腾,「再质押」一度成为席卷加密生态的核心话题。EigenLayer 崛起,Ether.fi、Renzo 等项目接连涌现,再质押代币(LRT)遍地开花。

然而,如今赛道的两大龙头项目均选择了转型:

Ether.fi 宣布转型为加密新型银行(neobank),计划推出现金卡及面向美国用户的质押服务;

Eigen Labs 宣布裁员约 25%,将资源重组,全面聚焦新产品 EigenCloud。

曾经火热的「再质押」,如今迎来转折点。两大龙头的战略调整,是否预示着这条赛道正在走向失效?

涌现、热潮与出清

过去几年,再质押赛道经历了从概念试水到资本密集涌入的周期。

据 RootData 数据,目前再质押赛道已累计诞生 70 余个项目。以太坊生态的 EigenLayer 是首个将 ReStaking 模型推向市场的项目,并催生出 Ether.fi、Renzo、Kelp DAO 等流动性再质押协议的集体爆发。随后,Symbiotic、Karak 等新架构项目也接连登场。

2024 年,融资事件激增至 27 起,全年吸金近 2.3 亿美元,成为加密市场最炙手可热的赛道之一。进入 2025 年,融资节奏开始放缓,赛道整体热度逐步降温。

与此同时,赛道洗牌加速推进。现已有包括 Moebius Finance、goTAO、FortLayer 在内的 11 个项目相继停运,早期泡沫逐渐被清理。

目前,EigenLayer 仍是赛道的主导者,TVL 约为 142 亿美元,占据全行业超 63% 的市场份额。在其生态中,Ether.fi 占据约 75% 份额,Kelp DAO 和 Renzo 分别为 12% 和 8.5%。

叙事失重:数据背后的冷却信号

截至当前,再质押协议的总 TVL 约为 224 亿美元,相较 2024 年 12 月的历史峰值(约 290 亿美元)已下降 22.7%。尽管整体锁仓体量仍高,再质押增长动能已出现放缓迹象。

用户活跃度的下滑更加显著。根据 The Block 数据,以太坊流动性再质押的日活跃存款用户数已从 2024 年 7 月的高峰(上千人)骤降至当前仅三十余人,而 EigenLayer 的每日独立存款地址数量甚至跌至个位数。

从验证者角度看,再质押的吸引力也在减弱。当前以太坊每日活跃的再质押验证者,与常规质押验证者相比已不足 3%。

此外,Ether.fi、EigenLayer、Puffer 等项目的代币价格均较高点回调超过 70%。整体来看,尽管再质押赛道仍保有一定体量,但用户活跃度与参与热情已显著下滑,生态正陷入「失重」状态。叙事驱动效应减弱,赛道增长进入瓶颈期。

头部项目转型:再质押生意做不下去了?

当「空投期红利」褪去、赛道热度消退,可预期收益曲线趋于平滑,再质押项目开始不得不面对拷问:平台如何才能实现长期增长?

以 Ether.fi 为例,其在 2024 年底连续两月实现超 350 万美元的收入,到了 2025 年 4 月,收入回落至 240 万美元。在增长动能放缓的现实下,单一的再质押功能,或许很难撑起一个完整的商业故事了。

也正是在 4 月,Ether.fi 开始扩展产品边界,转型为「加密新型银行」,通过「账单支付、工资发放、储蓄与消费」这些真实世界场景,构建金融操作的闭环。「现金卡 + 再质押」的双轨组合,成为其试图激活用户粘性与留存的新引擎。

与 Ether.fi 的「应用层突围」不同,EigenLayer 选择的是更偏向基础设施战略层面的重构。

7 月 9 日,Eigen Labs 宣布裁员约 25%,并将资源集中投入新产品开发者平台 EigenCloud,其也因此吸引了 a16z 新一轮 7000 万美元的投资。EigenCloud 集成了 EigenDA、EigenVerify、EigenCompute,试图为链上与链下的应用提供通用信任基础设施。

Ether.fi 和 EigenLayer 的转型,虽路径各异,却本质上指向同一逻辑的两种解法:让「再质押」从终点叙事变为「起始模块」,从目的本身变成构建更复杂应用系统的手段。

再质押未死,但其「单线程增长模式」或难再续。只有当它被嵌入更具规模效应的应用叙事中,才具备持续吸引用户与资本的能力。

再质押赛道以「二次收益」点燃市场热情的机制设计,如今正在更复杂的应用图谱中,寻找新的落点与生命力。

U.S. Stocks Trend (June 24): Korean Stock Plunge Ripples Global Chip Sector, Micron Tumbles Over 10%, Long-Term Supply Certainty Faces a 'Hard Test'

US Stock Market Trend (June 24): South Korean Market Plunge Disrupts Global Chips, Micron Drops Over 10%, Long-Term Supply Certainty Faces Hard Test On Monday, the South Korean KOSPI index plunged 10%, with SK Hynix and Samsung dropping over 12%, triggered by rumors that SK Hynix might slow its HBM4 production expansion. This shock quickly spread to the U.S. semiconductor sector. Micron plummeted 13.18% to $1,051.77, SanDisk fell 13.64%, and Marvell declined 8%. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index closed down 7.87%, while the Nasdaq fell 2.21% to 25,587.04 points. The sell-off particularly hit memory chip stocks. Defensive sectors showed relative resilience, with gains in stocks like IBM and Johnson & Johnson. Market volatility spiked, with the VIX index jumping 12.79%. Commodities weakened, with WTI crude oil hitting a near three-month low and gold falling below $4,100. The core issue is not a challenge to AI demand itself, but a market reassessment of overly optimistic capacity expectations for memory chips, especially HBM. The rumor about SK Hynix undermined perceived certainty in the AI infrastructure cycle. Key upcoming events include Thursday's PCE inflation data, which will influence Fed rate expectations, and Micron's earnings report. The market will focus on Micron's HBM gross margins and its long-term capacity guidance. The shift indicates the AI investment cycle is moving from euphoria to rational pricing. Large institutions are questioning the sustainability of AI-related capital expenditure growth. Micron's repricing from an "AI infrastructure staple" to a more cyclical stock highlights this change. Thursday's data and earnings represent a critical juncture for assessing long-term supply certainty, which has now significantly decreased.

Preferred Stock Is Not the Trigger for Corporate Bankruptcy, MicroStrategy's Dollar Reserves Can Cover Dividend and Interest Payments Until February 2027

Preferred Shares Are Not the Catalyst for Corporate Bankruptcy; MicroStrategy's Dollar Reserves Can Cover Dividend and Interest Payments Until February 2027. This article analyzes the nature of preferred shares used by MicroStrategy (MSTR). Legally equity but economically similar to debt, these shares, including its Bitcoin-linked STR convertible preferred notes (STRC), offer fixed or floating dividends. Crucially, MicroStrategy's preferred shares lack rigid redemption clauses, meaning they are not classified as traditional debt. This eliminates principal repayment pressure and means missed dividends do not constitute default or trigger bankruptcy, creating a "self-contradictory virtuous cycle." The article clarifies that if funds are short, MicroStrategy can defer or suspend preferred share dividends (except for non-cumulative types like STRD) without immediate risk. The real potential crisis point lies with its convertible bonds. If a prolonged bear market prevents conversion, MicroStrategy might need to sell Bitcoin to repay these bonds starting from the earliest maturity in September 2027, potentially creating a downward spiral. Preferred dividend suspensions would only exacerbate market panic in such a scenario. Recent financial activity shows MicroStrategy strengthened its position through four weeks of common stock (MSTR) issuances, raising over $851 million without issuing new preferred shares. It increased its dollar reserves to approximately $1.4 billion, which is sufficient to cover all preferred share dividends and interest until around March 2027. While Bitcoin purchases slowed recently, this prioritization of cash reserves enhances the company's near-term financial safety. The analysis concludes that if the Bitcoin bear market ends by early 2025 as anticipated, MicroStrategy can resume issuing MSTR stock in a rising market to replenish reserves and manage future dividend obligations, thereby reducing the long-term pressure from its preferred share structure.

Giants Wage the Context War, Reconstructing AI Moats

The article "Giants Launch the Context War, Reconstructing AI's Moat" discusses how leading AI companies—OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google—are shifting their competitive focus from model size to acquiring, managing, and utilizing user context (Context). Initially, Context referred to the length of text a model could process, leading to a "arms race" for longer context windows. However, the competition has evolved through three key phases: expanding text capacity (long context windows), enabling memory across sessions, and finally, integrating AI into real user environments like browsers and desktops to capture dynamic task states. Each company is pursuing a distinct strategy. OpenAI is building Context around the ChatGPT account, turning it into a central hub that accumulates user understanding across various integrated applications and tools. Anthropic, lacking a major user base, focuses on high-value verticals like coding, empowering its Claude model to actively gather Context through GUI interaction (Computer Use) and system connections (MCP protocol). Google, with vast existing user data from products like Search and Gmail, faces the challenge of restructuring this data into actionable, AI-understandable Context for its Gemini model within its ecosystem. The core argument is that the nature of competitive advantage in AI is changing. The internet era prized network effects—connecting more users. The AI era values "individual depth": the ability to build deep, task-specific understanding of a user. This creates a new moat through 1) the compounding value of accumulated Context, 2) deep integration with user tools and permissions, and 3) the establishment of trust for complex tasks. Therefore, the battle for Context is fundamentally about capturing "task entry points" and converting existing digital ecosystems into environments where AI can effectively understand and act, rather than merely scaling user numbers.

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.
