现货比特币ETF开局劲爆,上市首日交易量达46亿美元

金十Publicado em 2024-01-12Última atualização em 2024-01-12

首批直接持有比特币的美国交易所交易基金(ETF)在首个交易日取得了强劲的开局,数十亿美元在这一历史性的交易日中流转。

周四,近十家美国现货比特币ETF交易了价值超过46亿美元的股票。根据外媒编制的数据,已经转变为ETF的灰度比特币信托基金(Grayscale Bitcoin Trust)的交易量约为23亿美元。与此同时,贝莱德集团的iShares比特币信托(IBIT)的交易额超过了10亿美元,富达的FBTC超过6.8亿美元,这三只ETF主导了交易量

“这绝对是开创性的,”彭博智库的ETF分析师Athanasios Psarofagis说道。“毫无疑问,对于这些ETF的需求会很强劲,但是从各个方面来看,数字都令人印象深刻。”

行业支持者认为,ETF是普通投资者更广泛采用的终极跳板,也是进一步获利的催化剂。比特币周四一度飙升至49000美元以上,达到2021年以来的水平,随后回落至46075美元附近。

然而,很难将周四的活动与ETF历史上的任何其他日子进行比较,因为通常只有一个跟踪新资产类别的基金会在一天内开始交易,像周四那样同时看到超过10个几乎相同的基金同时开始交易是前所未有的。但即使只关注一个ETF,也能看出交易的规模之大。灰度比特币信托基金创下了有记录以来交易最活跃的ETF首次亮相。

交易量并不能完全反映买卖或投资者流入的本质。由于资金结算交易的方式,产品的净流入或净流出可能要到至少周五才能知道

Psarofagis补充说,很大一部分需求可能来自所谓的“种子”资金,这些资金是基金发行商事先安排好的。更多有效需求的迹象,比如来自散户或金融顾问,可能会在更多券商将这些基金列入其平台后出现。

分析师说,交易的最初几天和几周将是最终决定这些基金输赢的关键。令人垂涎的机构投资者可能青睐成交额最大且流动性最好的基金。大多数基金只向投资者收取较低的费率,需要增长到数百亿美元的资产规模才能产生可观的利润。

“比特币ETF的第一炮打得响亮,但这只是个开始”,Tidal Financial Group交易主管Charles Ragauss说。“尽职调查和平台审批还需要时间,然后投资者才能在不同的机构购买这些ETF产品。”

对于加密货币看涨者来说,这些基金的存在本身就是一种胜利,但最终,除非投资者能够轻松获取ETF,否则它们在长期内将无法取得成功,而这仍然是一个问题。与任何ETF一样,尚不清楚主要分销平台何时选择提供现货比特币产品。

例如,资产管理巨头Vanguard拒绝了加入这场狂欢。它周四表示,不会在自己的经纪平台上提供新的现货比特币ETF。此举凸显出Vanguard对比特币是否适合许多散户的担忧。Vanguard在声明中说:“这类产品不符合我们的侧重点,也就是股票、债券和现金等资产。” 在Vanguard看来,后者才是奠定均衡的长线投资组合的基础。

Vanguard并不是唯一限制投资者接触此类基金的平台。散户投资者在社交媒体平台X上表示,他们在花旗集团、美国银行、Edward Jones和瑞银的交易平台上也无法购买这类产品。

Vanguard一向限制投资者购买其认为不安全的产品。例如2019年,Vanguard就曾以存在风险为由终止了杠杆和反向ETF的购买。一些加密货币的拥趸对Vanguard的举动表示愤慨。

华尔街下一个阶段的目标之一将是让那些与ETF相关的期权获得批准。这种衍生工具受到投资专业人士的青睐。芝加哥期权交易所全球市场公司目前预计,美国证券交易委员会(SEC)将在2024年晚些时候批准期权交易。

NVIDIA CPU Advances, China's RISC-V Responds: Semiconductor Deep Dive - Part Four

NVIDIA is set to launch its new Vera AI data center CPU in China as early as August, with high pricing. While this move offers a new option, it highlights China's continued dependence on foreign-controlled Arm architecture. In response, the Chinese semiconductor industry is increasingly turning to RISC-V as a strategic alternative for achieving high-performance computing autonomy. The article explores the concept of the "impossible triangle" in CPU development—balancing prosperity, control, and autonomy—and posits that RISC-V's open-source, modular nature offers a unique path to achieving all three. While RISC-V is already dominant in embedded systems, the focus is now shifting to data centers and AI workloads. China has become a global hotspot for RISC-V development, driven by AI-driven compute demand, supply chain concerns from export controls, cost benefits of open-source, and strong policy support. Multiple Chinese companies have reportedly crossed the key performance threshold of 15 SPECint per GHz, a benchmark for entering the high-performance CPU club. Progress extends beyond single-core benchmarks. Companies are developing complete computing subsystems, including commercial-grade coherent network-on-chip (NoC) technology and server processors with up to 40 cores that strictly adhere to the RVA23 standard to ensure software compatibility. Real-world applications are emerging in areas like video transcoding and edge AI. However, significant challenges remain. The RISC-V ecosystem faces fragmentation, immature toolchains and verification processes, and gaps in single-core performance and energy efficiency compared to mature x86 and Arm architectures. The formidable software moat, epitomized by NVIDIA's CUDA, is a long-term hurdle. In conclusion, while RISC-V cannot immediately replace offerings like NVIDIA's Vera, it represents a viable long-term path for China to develop a self-sufficient, high-performance CPU ecosystem. The journey is acknowledged to be long and arduous, requiring sustained effort to overcome technical and ecosystem challenges.

My Coding Betting Dashboard is Profiting, but Polymarket is Truly Not a Good Place for 'Arbitrage'

The author built a custom monitoring dashboard for Polymarket, a prediction market platform, and tested it with $1,600, achieving over 30% returns. However, the core argument is that Polymarket is not a good venue for traditional arbitrage. The dashboard has two main sections: a "Portfolio Dashboard" for tracking active positions with key metrics like total capital, P&L, and a risk-control module using a tier system (T1, T2, T3), and an "Opportunity Watchlist" for monitoring markets. The article details a critical structural trap in binary markets: a bet with a high perceived probability of success still carries a 100% loss risk if wrong. The author's T1/T2/T3 system is designed to manage this by limiting position sizes based on conviction and time horizon, emphasizing that high confidence should not equal high concentration. A key insight is the danger of "pseudo-diversification"—betting on different markets driven by the same underlying variable. The author concludes that Polymarket offers few true low-risk, arbitrage opportunities. It is instead a high-risk environment where wins can create a false sense of mastery, leading to large losses. The platform is better viewed as a training ground for honing judgment through disciplined, framework-driven betting rather than a reliable income source. The tools help transform intuition into structured, rule-based decisions to mitigate the risk of catastrophic errors.

WeChat AI Card Hands-On Guide: Has the AI Shopping Era Arrived?

**"WeChat AI Card" Practical Test Guide: Has the Era of AI Shopping Arrived?** WeChat has officially launched the "AI Exclusive Card," a feature integrated into its Workbuddy AI assistant. This card is designed to handle payments for AI-initiated purchases. Our hands-on test reveals it's not yet a tool for fully autonomous AI shopping, but rather a controlled payment layer for AI agents. The AI Card functions as an isolated sub-wallet within WeChat Pay. Users must bind the card and transfer funds into it from their main wallet. Crucially, every transaction requires explicit user confirmation via smartphone scan; AI cannot spend autonomously. Currently accessible through the Workbuddy agent, the card targets specific digital consumption scenarios: purchasing paid content (reports, data), calling paid APIs/tools, and subscribing to services. Its design prioritizes security and control by separating funds and mandating approval for each payment. We tested a real-world scenario: ordering bubble tea via Workbuddy using a "Meituan Life Assistant" skill. The process encountered multiple hurdles: high "skill" usage costs (exceeding daily free credits), and most importantly, while a payment was successfully initiated, the AI purchased an incorrect product (a mismatched group-buy coupon instead of the desired drink). This highlights the current limitation: the **AI Card only solves the payment step**. The broader challenge lies in the **AI agent's execution chain**—accurately understanding intent, navigating third-party platforms, selecting the right product, and ensuring proper fulfillment. The payment succeeded, but the purchase failed to meet the user's need. In conclusion, the WeChat AI Exclusive Card is a cautious, early-step experiment in AI commerce. It provides a secure, user-controlled payment method for agent interactions but is not yet capable of reliable, end-to-end complex purchases. For now, it's best used for low-value, low-risk digital services with careful user verification at each step. The vision of AI handling complete shopping tasks remains a work in progress.
