Deconstructing the Capital Game of Public Chain Pharos: A $950 Million Valuation Propped Up by Photovoltaic and Other Assets, A Shell Transaction Under Layers of Betting?

The article investigates the recent $247.3 million investment by Hong Kong-listed GCL New Energy into the Layer 1 blockchain project Pharos at a $950 million valuation. It reveals the deal is not a straightforward investment but a complex, multi-stage transaction bound by stringent performance milestones. The core of the agreement is a set of mutual, conditional investments. Pharos must first purchase up to $1.5 billion HKD worth of GCL shares. However, GCL's reciprocal investment in Pharos tokens is contingent upon a series of strict, performance-based vesting conditions. The entire deal is split into five tranches, each unlocking only if the Pharos token lists on an exchange without falling below its issue price and maintains a high fully diluted valuation (FDV) over successive three-month periods. If any condition fails, the entire agreement can be terminated. The article questions the legitimacy of the $950 million valuation, which was calculated based on a purported $250 million in Total Value Locked (TVL). Notably, over half of this TVL is claimed to be from real-world assets (RWA), specifically photovoltaic and power station assets linked to GCL—a highly unconventional method for valuing a Layer 1 blockchain. Furthermore, the mainnet is not yet live, and the TVL figure is unverified by independent data platforms. The author suggests the deal is a "capital game" designed to boost GCL's stock price, which saw suspicious pre-announcement surges, and to create hype for the upcoming Pharos token launch, ultimately passing the risk onto the market and future investors.

Circle Doubles in a Month: What Is the Market Betting On?

Circle's stock (CRCL) has experienced significant volatility, doubling in February 2025 after a sharp post-IPO decline. This surge occurred while Bitcoin fell 40%, indicating a decoupling from the broader crypto market. The key driver is a fundamental shift in how the market values Circle and its USDC stablecoin. Previously viewed as a cyclical crypto play, USDC's growth accelerated during the bear market, with its circulating supply rising 72% to a record $753 billion. This growth is increasingly driven by traditional finance and global payments, not speculative crypto trading. Major partnerships with Visa, Mastercard, JPMorgan, and Intuit are embedding USDC into mainstream payment infrastructure. The passage of the GENIUS Act in July 2025 provided a federal regulatory framework, creating a moat for compliant issuers like Circle and helping USDC gain market share against USDT. USDC also surpassed Tether in on-chain transaction volume. A major future growth narrative centers on AI Agent payments. Circle and others are developing infrastructure for machine-to-machine transactions, offering 24/7 settlement at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems. While current non-interest revenue from these new use cases remains under 5% of total revenue, the potential market is vast, with predictions of a multi-trillion-dollar stablecoin and AI Agent economy by 2030. Circle's $23 billion valuation largely bets on this future narrative becoming reality.
