4000 万融资,Vitalik 参投,Etherealize 想做以太坊的「代言人」

用以太坊变革传统金融的目标不一定要通过 DeFi 实现。

撰文:Eric,Foresight News

《财富》杂志于北京时间 9 月 3 日晚间报道称,Etherealize完成了 4000 万美元融资,Electric Capital 和 Paradigm 领投,以太坊联合创始人 Vitalik 与以太坊基金会参投。Electric Capital 与 Paradigm 从不吝惜在 Web3 领域大手笔撒钱,尤其是在以太坊生态,而二者也都是支持以太坊 DAT 上市公司的主力军。但 V 神与以太坊基金会双双下场实为罕见。

Etherealize 对自身的介绍惜字如金,在 X 简介上称自己为「以太坊生态的机构级产品、BD 和市场部门」,而网站上也只有「重塑华尔街」与「通过提供研究、内容与产品来将世界带入以太坊」的愿景。产品方面,Etherealize 瞄准了机构级基础设施,提供代币化资产的发行、管理、结算以及相应的自动化合规基础设施,并计划通过零知识证明引入隐私功能。

据 Etherealize 自述,其拥有足够了解以太坊的工程团队、在金融机构数十年经验的领导层以及可以与 SEC、财政部和国会对话以制定规则的通道。西方投资机构向来对大型的 2B 业务不吝惜下注,但对这样一个初创公司真金白银的投入显然是一次「投人」的举动,笔者也从团队组成中发现了一些蛛丝马迹。

Etherealize 团队中最亮眼的莫过于为 The Merge 和以太坊信标链推出做出了巨大贡献,但于去年 9 月离开以太坊基金会团队的联合创始人 Danny Ryan。在 Github 上的告别信中,Danny Ryan 表示其离开是出于个人原因,或许那一刻他也意识到单纯在技术方面吹毛求疵无法让以太坊再进一步,通过其技术能力协助可以将以太坊推向世界的团队才是正解。

技术方面,Etherealize 的联合创始人兼 CTO Zash Obront 曾是提供图书出版服务的 Scribe Media 的联合创始人,2021 年 8 月加入 Snowcap Technology 任安全研究员,该公司主打安全领域,提供 AI、VPN、WIFI 以及企业系统等领域的安全服务。

同样负责技术方面的另外两名创始工程师则大有来头。其中 Alec Charbonneau 曾在此前成功上市的「稳定币第一股」 Circle 任产品经理,后又在与 Ripple 同样专注于结算的 Stellar 任软件工程师;另一名工程师 Alex Wilton 曾在特斯拉以及在 2021 年就融资超百亿美元的另一家电动车企业 Rivian 任职产品经理。

产品 CEO Jay Katz 的履历与战略息息相关,曾在金融、软件、智能硬件、律师事务所、咨询公司等行业公司任职,LinkedIn 信息显示其实际职位为借贷市场解决方案的 CEO。与其配合的则是信贷运营 Jennifer Laino,此人在金融行业经验颇丰,曾任雷曼兄弟副总裁助理,美银美林副总裁、黑石集团顾问。

同样在金融借贷领域拥有多年经验的联合创始人兼 CEO Vivek Raman,曾在摩根士丹利、瑞银、德意志银行和野村任信贷业务高管,并于 2021 年 9 月加入了在 2022 熊市期间暴雷的 Celsius 任高级 DeFi 研究员。之后 Vivek Raman 加入了于 2023 年初完成 A 轮融资的数字资产投资银行 BitOoda 任总经理。其在 BitOoda 就专注于将机构引入以太坊及 L2 生态。

显然,Etherealize「将华尔街引入以太坊」的计划在早期瞄准了信贷领域,笔者猜测其实现路径会结合稳定币等推出在链上结算的借贷系统。当然这类产品与 DeFi 不同,可能仅是为金融机构提供解决方案。

在市场、运营方面,Etherealize 选择了在 Web3 领域更多经验的人选。营销主管 Valeria Salazar 曾在 Phi Labs 任营销策略主管以及开发者和生态关系主管,业务运营经理选择了曾在 Polyhedra 任战略与运营主管的 Morgan Takach。

Etherealize 对于其团队在 Web3 和金融领域都有丰富经验的描述并非空穴来风,也正巧抓住了机构纷纷尝试资产代币化的风口。用以太坊重塑金融是一个 DeFi Summer 伊始就被讲烂的故事,即使在传统机构纷纷试水资产上链的当下,我们仍然无法确定这个生意的市场规模究竟能有多大,但在以太坊和华尔街之间搭起桥梁这件事本身对以太坊来说是一个值得探索的方向。

除了具体的业务,Etherealize 也在官网上明确表达了想以以太坊「代言人」的角色推动世界对以太坊以及 L2 生态的采用。整体上,Etherealize 将原本以太坊基金会做的不好的「go to market」部分通过商业公司接手,具体的效果值得期待。

The AI Industrial Revolution: Where Are We Now?

This article explores the current stage of the AI industrial revolution, arguing we are still merely attaching new tools to old workflows rather than fundamentally redesigning production. The author compares this to the early Industrial Revolution, where factories simply replaced waterwheels with steam engines without changing their core structure. Similarly, today we embed AI chat windows into existing software but leave organizational processes unchanged. While massive investment floods into AI infrastructure (data centers, chips), akin to railway manias of the past, the real transformation lies in "dismantling the old workshop"—reorganizing companies around AI. Examples include Notion's use of hundreds of AI Agents and Y Combinator's experiments with self-improving AI systems that operate autonomously. The author notes a critical gap: while China has vast AI user growth, few companies have rebuilt core workflows. AI is beginning to impact entry-level jobs, and early adopters are gaining a compounding advantage. The conclusion is that the pivotal moment will not be the invention of better models, but when organizations decide to tear down old structures and rebuild around AI, shifting the bottleneck from human coordination to computing power. The future workplace and job titles are yet to be defined, but the imperative is to move away from legacy processes and position oneself where the new "railway" is being built.

Morning Post | Hyperliquid Launches Off-chain Event Prediction Market Contract; Strategy Completes $1.5 Billion Debt Buyback; Kelp DAO Announces rsETH Fully Restored

Crypto Market Digest (May 27, 2026) Ondo Finance's founder Nathan Allman has passed away, with President Ian De Bode taking over as CEO. In regulatory news, Hong Kong authorities concluded a consultation on virtual asset service provider licensing, aiming to align rules with traditional finance. Kelp DAO announced its rsETH token has fully recovered five weeks after a $293 million hack by Lazarus Group, though the incident caused significant damage to DeFi lending protocols like Aave. Key industry developments include Hyperliquid launching off-chain event prediction market contracts, and the CME introducing futures for Avalanche and Sui. A report highlights the rise of AI Agent payments, with over $73 million settled on-chain in a year, predominantly using USDC. Meanwhile, blockchain detective ZachXBT exposed market manipulation involving several BSC tokens. In investment news, a firm referred to as "Strategy" completed a $1.5 billion debt buyback. Political contributions from the crypto sector for the 2026 U.S. elections have surpassed $500 million, heavily favoring Republican candidates. BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes revealed Zcash is his second-largest holding, citing the growing necessity for monetary privacy. The digest concludes with trending memecoins on Ethereum, Solana, and Base networks, and highlights in-depth articles covering the impending SpaceX IPO, Polymarket's regulatory challenges, and an analysis of the on-chain treasury landscape.

Just Now, Chinese AI Enters Top 2 in Global Programming, Only Claude Remains Ahead

**China's AI Ranks Second Globally in Programming, Trailing Only Claude** Today, Alibaba's Qwen3.7-Max achieved a score of 1541 on the Code Arena benchmark, securing fourth place globally and surpassing top models like GPT-5.5 and Gemini 3.5 Flash. Among the top positions, it is now the only non-Claude model, placing second overall after Anthropic's Opus models. Before this official ranking, Qwen3.7-Max had already gained recognition overseas. In practical tests, it outperformed rivals on tasks like creating a self-training Tetris AI and generating complex 3D models, often at a significantly lower cost. Developers praised its ability, especially when integrated with tools like Hermes Agent and OpenCode, to effectively replace models such as GPT-5.5. In a hands-on challenge to create a 3D racing game from a detailed prompt, Qwen3.7-Max delivered a fully playable HTML file in the first attempt, requiring only minor bug fixes. It uniquely included a start menu and sound effects—details missed by other models. While competitors like Gemini 3.5 Flash and Claude Opus 4.6 produced less polished or functional versions, and GPT-5.5 had its own quirks, Qwen3.7-Max stood out for its initial completeness and playability. This performance stems from its design as an "Agent Base Model," built for long-duration, autonomous task execution. Internal tests show it can run continuously for 35 hours, making over 1158 tool calls without context degradation or instruction drift. Key technical advancements include "environment expansion" training, which improves adaptability across different frameworks, and "long-horizon autonomous execution" training, enabling sustained strategic decision-making. By entering the top tier of the programming arena, Qwen3.7-Max demonstrates that Chinese AI models are not just catching up but are becoming defining competitors, challenging the long-standing dominance of Silicon Valley in this field.

From a Lunch Table to an Infinite Universe: Fei-Fei Li Bets on AI's Next Dimension

From a Lunch Table Conversation to an Infinite Universe: Fei-Fei Li Bets on AI's Next Frontier - Spatial Intelligence In an era dominated by large language models, AI pioneer Fei-Fei Li argues that true understanding requires spatial intelligence — the ability to perceive, reason, and interact within the physical 3D/4D world. She points to evolutionary history: spatial perception drove the Cambrian explosion 540 million years ago, while language is a far more recent, inherently "lossy" way to encode reality. Current models struggle with basic spatial tasks a child can do, like counting chairs in a video. Her company, World Labs, is pioneering this shift with "Marble," a model that generates navigable, consistent 3D worlds from text, images, or simple 3D inputs—distinct from video generators like Sora. Though smaller than models like GPT-5, due to scarce 3D data and early-stage scaling laws, Marble is already used in gaming, robot training (by NVIDIA), architectural design, and personalized therapy for conditions like OCD and acrophobia. Li envisions this technology enabling "infinite universes" for creativity, social interaction, and more. However, she cautions against utopian or dystopian extremes, advocating for a measured vision where AI enhances human dignity and prosperity, akin to how electricity transformed civilization. The journey is long — as evidenced by the 20-year path to viable autonomous vehicles — but the direction is clear: for AI to move from merely talking about the world to truly understanding and acting within it.
