灰度对 SEC 通过杠杆型的比特币期货 ETF 表达不满,认为 SEC 在现货产品与期货产品存在差别待遇。

继上个月华尔街巨头接连申请比特币现货 ETF 后,比特币在月底也迎来美国首次杠杆型的比特币期货 ETF,由 Volatility Shares 所提出,Volatility Shares 表示,此次杠杆型比特币 ETF – BITX 的申请并未受到美国证券交易委员会(SEC)的否决,所以在 6 月 27 日正式上线。

灰度不满差别待遇
多次向 SEC 申请将旗下比特币信托基金(GBTC)转为现货 ETF,但屡次遭到无视、拒绝的资产管理公司灰度(Grayscale Investments),对 SEC 通过杠杆型比特币 ETF 感到相当不满。
灰度律师 Donald Verrilli 在周一递交给哥伦比亚特区上诉法院的一封信中表示,杠杆比特币交易所交易基金明明就是一种「风险更高的投资产品」,痛批 SEC 此举根本就是说不通的。
SEC 允许开放交易杠杆比特币期货交易所交易产品表明,SEC 在处理现货比特币交易所交易产品时仍然是有所偏颇的,与比特币期货交易产品采取差别待遇。
而 SEC 与灰度就「GBTC 转比特币现货 ETF」的诉讼从去年开始至今仍在持续激战中,而 Donald Verrilli 此前就已在法院上提出核心论点,认为灰度已签署了期货 ETF 监督协议,SEC 可以很好地监管 ETF 产品;同时灰度推出比特币现货 ETF 是「更好地保护投资者」。
灰度在推特澄清自己的立场,表示他们并不是说这样的产品不应该存在。相反的是想告诉市场 SEC 的矛盾,SEC 不可能在没有充分的理由下,拒绝现货产品的批准,但同时允许杠杆期货产品进行交易。
如今背靠众多机构
如今随着巨头贝莱德(BlackRock)、富达(Fidelity)在 6 月中开始向 SEC 提交推出比特币现货 ETF,GBTC 日交易量在贝莱德提出申请后仅 5 天,就飙升至近 8000 万美元,增幅高达约 400%。
据 Coinglass 数据显示,当前灰度基金的总持仓量达 190 亿美元,而 GBTC 负溢价已收窄至 27.49%,较 2022 年 12 月时的最高负溢价率(当时负溢价达 48.62%)收回约 21.13%。
据了解,Grayscale 发行的 GBTC 在 2021 年 2 月底就开始出现负溢价,并随着 2022 年进入熊市后比率持续扩大,至到今年(2023)负溢价才逐渐平稳。市场不少知名投资人看好 GBTC 后续发展,并且认为灰度有望赢下与 SEC 的诉讼。包括「女股神」Cathie Wood 就多次称赞 GBTC 的涨幅未来,并期待翻回正溢价,她旗下管理的方舟投资(ARK investment)同时是 GBTC 最大持有人。

Fei-Fei Li's Team Clarifies the Concept of 'World Models', Sora Merely a Renderer

"World Models" has become a widely used yet confusing term in AI. To address this, a team led by Fei-Fei Li and World Labs proposed a functional taxonomy based on the Partially Observable Markov Decision Process framework. This taxonomy categorizes systems called "world models" into three distinct projections: Renderers, Simulators, and Planners. Renderers, like OpenAI's Sora and other video generation models, focus on producing photorealistic visual outputs for human perception. They prioritize visual fidelity over physical accuracy. Simulators, such as NVIDIA Omniverse, aim to compute precise future environmental states for computational tasks like engineering analysis or digital twins. Planners, like Vision-Language-Action models, take in observations and goals to output executable actions for robots or agents. The article clarifies that most current "world models," including Sora, are primarily Renderers. They generate convincing visuals but lack the core ability to simulate state transitions based on actions, a key requirement for a true world model in classic reinforcement learning definitions. This conceptual confusion has practical implications, leading to potential misalignment in technology selection, investment, and public understanding of AI capabilities. Clear categorization is crucial. It helps enterprises avoid costly mistakes (e.g., using a renderer for robot training), allows investors to accurately assess markets, and enables researchers to build comparable benchmarks. While future systems may integrate these functions, recognizing current boundaries is essential for honest assessment and progress.

Bloomberg Uncovered: How Do China's Wealthy Circumvent the Annual $50,000 Limit to Transfer Assets?

**Summary: How Wealthy Chinese Circumvent $50,000 Annual Foreign Exchange Limits** Despite China's strict capital controls, including an annual $50,000 per person foreign exchange quota, an estimated $150 billion in funds still leaves the country annually via various gray and underground channels. This report outlines the evolution of China's "capital wall" and the methods used to bypass it. **The Evolving Capital Controls:** * **Foundation (1994):** The system of "current account convertibility with strict capital account controls" was established. * **Quota Set (2007):** The $50,000 individual annual forex purchase limit was formalized. * **Crackdown Begins (2015-2017):** Following market volatility, enforcement tightened. Banks were required to scrutinize transactions, and channels like using UnionPay cards for Hong Kong insurance premiums or buying overseas property were blocked. * **Digital & Legal Upgrades (2024-2026):** Enhanced algorithms now flag suspicious patterns (e.g., "smurfing"). The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) provides Chinese tax authorities with data on citizens' offshore accounts. Unlicensed cross-border brokers have been targeted. **Five Primary Methods for Moving Capital:** 1. **Underground Banking / "Hawala" (Duiqiao):** The largest-scale method. No money crosses borders. Clients pay RMB to a domestic account; an overseas associate deposits equivalent foreign currency into the client's offshore account. Risks include high fees, account freezes, and legal penalties. 2. **"Smurfing" or "Ant Moving":** Using multiple individuals' $50,000 quotas to pool funds for one offshore recipient. Increasingly detected by anti-money laundering algorithms. 3. **Trade Invoice Manipulation:** Businesses over-invoice imports or under-invoice exports via offshore shell companies, creating a pretext to transfer excess funds abroad under the guise of trade. 4. **Channel Migration:** After a crackdown on internet brokers, funds flow toward more compliant but costly channels like major banks' cross-border wealth management services or Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor (QDII) quotas. 5. **Structural Arrangements:** High-net-worth individuals use complex, high-cost legal structures involving offshore trusts, insurance, and investment migration programs to transfer asset ownership. **Regulatory Response: Focusing on People, Not Just Money** The current strategy extends oversight from enterprises to **individual residents**. Tools like CRS allow retroactive visibility into offshore assets. Cryptocurrencies, once seen as a potential loophole, are now actively monitored and prosecuted as an illegal channel. The underlying driver remains: with significant wealth concentrated among millions of affluent households seeking diversification amid domestic economic shifts, the incentive to move assets offshore persists despite regulatory barriers.
