从牛市神话到锒铛入狱,SafeMoon做了什么?

近日,DeFi 协议 SafeMoon 被美国监管机构起诉的新闻成为加密社区的热议话题。

11 月 1 日,美国 SEC 向纽约东区地方法院提起诉讼,指控加密公司 SafeMoon LLC 及其创始人 Kyle Nagy、SafeMoon US LLC、公司首席执行官 John Karony 和首席技术官 Thomas Smith,通过未注册的加密资产安全 SafeMoon 进行大规模的欺诈性计划,控罪包括证券欺诈、电信欺诈和洗钱共谋。纽约东区美国检察官办公室宣布,目前 John Karony 和 Thomas Smith 已经被逮捕。

SafeMoon 代币价格曾在 2021 年 3 月至 4 月期间飙升超过 55, 000% ,一度被冠以「牛市神话」的称号;但随着各种负面消息传出,其代币价格暴跌。

Coingecko 数据显示,在昨日 SEC 起诉后,SafeMoon 代币价格再次下跌超过 50 % ,目前仍未出现明显反弹,如下所示:

从牛市神话到锒铛入狱,SafeMoon做了什么?


SafeMoon 做了什么?

SafeMoon 为何涉嫌欺诈?SEC 递交的刑事起诉书向我们揭示了其违法的原因。

起诉书指出,被告及其企业 SafeMoon US LLC 向投资者错误的解释“锁定流动性意味着什么”,然后他们用投资者的钱购买了保时捷 911、房地产及其他名贵物品。

SafeMoon 在宣传中强调,它无法制造一个“Rug-pull”骗局,因为它“锁定”了自己的流动性。然而,这其实是一个谎言,项目方一直保持着对流动性池的控制。

此外,团队声称,他们没有将任何的 SafeMoon 代币提供给自己个人使用,但 Karony 和 Smith 亲自讨论了交易策略以获得暴利。Karony 一度向 Smith 建议,将团队钱包中的代币出售;但 Smith 警告道,他们需要更谨慎的使用资金,他还表示已经厌倦了向美国国税局报告银行存款。“如果我们不谨慎、定期进行税务申报,美国国税局将会对我们进行大量审计。”

当他们的 SafeMoon 代币被成功转换为另一种加密货币后(即代币抛售成功),他们庆祝道,“IT'S FUCKING GO TIME”(是时候撤了!)

另外,SafeMoon 的计划还涉及到某家加密货币交易所,该交易所同意帮助向 SafeMoon 持有者分发奖励。Karony 曾从交易所获得了 800 万美元的稳定币,这些稳定币本应被存入流动性池。然而,他却将 150 万美元转入交易所,然后将 140 万美元的法币提取到他的个人银行账户。

SEC 指出,被告承认对价格进行操控,并从项目中撤出价值超过 2 亿美元的加密资产,将投资者资金挪用为个人使用。

SEC 认为 SafeMoon 违反了 1933 年和 1934 年证券法的规定。“未注册的产品缺少法律规定的披露和责任需要,并且它们吸引了像 Kyle Nagy 这样的骗子,他们利用这些漏洞来为自己从他人处赚取费用。”SEC 执法官员 David Hirsch 表示。

SafeMoon 是什么?

不少加密新人可能对 SafeMoon 项目并不熟悉,回想 2021 年牛市之时,其曾一度创下了涨幅神话。

SafeMoon 于 3 月 8 号上线 BSC,价格在 2021 年 3 月 12 日至 4 月 20 日期间飙升超过 55, 000% ,市值达到 57 亿美元,也曾一度取代「狗狗币」(Dogecoin)成为了搜索引擎上搜索量最大的加密货币。此后,SafeMoon 被曝出的流动性池并未如所称被锁定时,其代币价格暴跌近 50% 。

SafeMoon 的独到之处在于其分红机制,并也导致了 Safemoon 模式的流行,一时间市场上出现上百个仿盘。

简单来说,SafeMoon 拥有独特的奖惩机制:合约会惩罚进行交易的人、奖励持币的人;抽取交易税并自动将其添加进流动性;用户持币即可“坐等”抽税,用户无需任何操作、仅需持币余额即可增加。

安全隐患早已暴露

2023 年 3 月,SafeMoon 曾出现安全事故,并因智能合约漏洞损失了 890 万美元。由于无法追踪到攻击者,加密社区曾猜测该漏洞是由创始团队故意留下的暗门。

2022 年 2 月,众多名人也因曾参与推广 SafeMoon 遭遇集体起诉,包括音乐人 Nick Carter、Soulja Boy、Lil Yachty 以及 YouTube 博主 Jake Paul 和 Ben Phillips 在内的。

根据诉讼,SafeMoon 及其子公司模仿了现实生活中的庞氏骗局,以不现实的利润为借口误导投资者购买 SafeMoon 代币;上述涉案名人说服他们的粉丝投资该代币,成功地炒作了该代币,人为拉盘。

Anthropic's IPO Launch: Commercial Miracle or Valuation Bubble?

Anthropic has confidentially filed for an IPO, led by Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, potentially going public by October. Following its latest $650 billion funding round, its pre-IPO valuation stands at $965 billion, with projections reaching up to $2 trillion at listing, which would make it the highest-valued private company ever. The article, written by Fu Sheng, addresses skepticism that this represents an AI bubble akin to the 2000 dot-com crash. It argues the current situation differs fundamentally. Unlike the internet bubble era, which relied on speculative narratives with little revenue, Anthropic's valuation is backed by unprecedented, measurable financial performance. Key data points include: * **Revenue Growth:** ARR skyrocketed from $10 billion in early 2025 to $470 billion by May 2026, targeting $100 billion by year-end—a growth curve unmatched in business history. * **Profitability:** It achieved operating profitability in Q2 2026 with an estimated $5.6 billion profit. * **Efficiency:** With ~3,000 employees and ~$470 billion ARR, its revenue per employee exceeds $10 million. Products like Claude Code, launched less than a year ago, already generate $25 billion in annualized revenue. * **Enterprise Adoption:** It boasts a strong enterprise client base, with 8 of the Fortune 10 and over 1,000 large firms spending over $1 million annually on Claude. The valuation is framed using a traditional SaaS model (e.g., a 10x Price-to-Sales multiple on $100 billion revenue). The author contends the core question for analysts has shifted from "How big could this be?" to "How much is it earning and will earn next quarter?" The discussion extends beyond Anthropic to a broader paradigm shift: the transition from a "carbon-based" to a "silicon-based" economy. Companies are increasingly prioritizing investment in compute and AI capabilities over human resources, as these directly scale productivity and competitive advantage. Anthropic's IPO is thus positioned not just as a corporate milestone, but as a price anchor for this new economic era.

Near Returns to the AI Stage: Transformation into a Public Chain Due to 'Payroll Difficulties,' Agent and Privacy Emerge as New Growth Narratives

NEAR Returns to AI Origins: From Payroll Struggles to Blockchain, Now Focusing on AI Agents and Privacy NEAR Protocol's journey began not with grand blockchain ambitions, but from a practical hurdle: its AI startup founders, including Transformer paper co-author Illia Polosukhin, couldn't efficiently pay international developers in 2017. This led them to pivot and build a high-performance, scalable blockchain. After years navigating various crypto narratives like sharding and cross-chain interoperability, NEAR is now leveraging its AI roots to re-enter the AI arena. A key driver is its "NEAR Intents" layer, which abstracts complex cross-chain transactions. Users simply state their goal (e.g., swap BTC for ETH), and a solver network finds the optimal route. This system has processed over $20B in cross-chain volume, generating significant fee revenue. A major growth area is private transactions via "Confidential Intents/Swaps," which hide trade details until settlement to protect against MEV and front-running. Remarkably, private swaps recently accounted for over 40% of NEAR's transaction volume, highlighting strong demand but also potential regulatory scrutiny. With its AI-founder pedigree, NEAR is positioning itself at the intersection of blockchain, AI agents, and privacy, aiming to become infrastructure for the emerging agent economy while navigating the challenges of its rapid adoption.
