本轮战略融资的投资方包括 a16z、Coinbase Ventures、Variant、Pantera 和 Brevan Howard。

  • Morpho 并未透露基于这笔资金的估值，该笔资金是通过私人代币销售筹集的。

  • Morpho 此前曾于 2022 年筹集了 1800 万美元，当时这家 DeFi 公司的首席执行官 Paul Frambot 还在读大学三年级。

Morpho 是一种去中心化的加密货币借贷协议，在由 Ribbit Capital 领投的一轮战略融资中筹集了 5000 万美元，Ribbit Capital 是 Robinhood、Revolut 和 Coinbase 等金融科技公司的早期投资者。

参与私募代币销售的还有 a16z crypto、Coinbase Ventures、Variant、Pantera、Brevan Howard、BlockTower 和 Kraken Ventures 等重量级人物。Morpho 基于融资的估值尚未披露。该公司早在 2022 年就筹集了 1800 万美元的资金，当时该公司的首席执行官 Paul Frambot 还在读大学三年级。

这里的目标是将相对稀缺和内向的去中心化金融 ( DeFi ) 世界与互联网的基础协议层融合。Morpho 于两年前推出，从优化层的角色发展成为 Morpho Blue，后者是 Aave 和 Compound 用户提高利率的平台（在此过程中引起了一些争议），而 Morpho Blue 是一个基础设施，其他人可以在其上构建加密借贷应用程序并制定自己的风险管理策略。

“我们的目标一直是：如何摆脱 DeFi？” Frambot 在接受 CoinDesk 采访时表示。“我们如何确保最终——也许不是在短期内——能够将私人金融基础设施转变为公共产品？”

这就是Ribbit 等金融科技支持者的战略参与发挥作用的地方，因为 Robinhood 和 Revolut 等投资组合公司拥有庞大的分销渠道，可以使用 Morpho 灵活地设计借贷用例，而不会分散流动性，Frambot 表示。

“我们需要弥合 DeFi 的差距，并将其真正融入金融科技世界，而 Ribbit 显然是我们的合作伙伴，”Frambot 说道。“我们已经在现实世界中实现了潜在的整合，而不仅仅是像加密杠杆用例那样，坦率地说，这是目前 DeFi 借贷的大多数用例。”

本轮融资的其他投资者包括：Hack VC、IOSG、Rockaway、L1D、Mirana、Cherry、Semantic、Fenbushi、Leadblock Bitpanda 和 Robot Ventures。

Stablecoin Salaries: Why Are They Becoming the First Choice for Cross-Border Workers?

Stablecoin Salaries: Why They're Becoming the Top Choice for Global Remote Workers The traditional global salary system carries hidden exchange rate risks for freelancers in countries like India, Argentina, and Turkey who earn in USD but spend in local currencies. When salaries are instantly converted to local currency, workers lose purchasing power if that currency depreciates against the dollar. For instance, an Indian designer converting a $2000 monthly salary to rupees lost over 10% in purchasing power last year due to the rupee's decline. Holding even a portion of income in USD or USD-pegged stablecoins can preserve value. Stablecoins offer a solution by breaking down barriers to holding dollars. Opening foreign USD bank accounts is difficult, and international wire transfers incur high fees (averaging 6.5%) and delays. In contrast, stablecoin transfers are fast and low-cost. Furthermore, many countries with high inflation and depreciating currencies restrict citizens' access to foreign currency. Self-custody stablecoin wallets enable workers to hold dollar-equivalent assets without needing bank approval, bypassing these limits. These wallets integrate multiple functions: they allow users to convert only what's needed for daily expenses into local currency, keep the remainder in stablecoins, connect to on-chain lending or yield products, and even link to payment cards for direct spending. While challenges remain—such as the lack of deposit insurance and evolving regulatory frameworks—the trend is clear. Reports indicate a growing preference for USD or stablecoin payments among freelancers in high-inflation countries. This shift represents a fundamental restructuring of salary functions: payment currency, asset storage, yield generation, spending, and cross-border flow. It offers the freedom and flexibility that are core to money's purpose, signaling a profound change in the global financial landscape.

Don't Just Focus on Layoffs, The New Structure of the Ethereum Foundation is More Worthy of Appreciation

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has undergone a significant organizational restructuring, with the most notable change being a strategic refocusing of its priorities rather than just a 20% staff reduction (approximately 54 people). The new structure clearly prioritizes the Protocol and Access layers, which now comprise the largest teams (57 and 34 people, respectively). This signals EF's intent to concentrate its core resources on fundamental, hard-to-outsource aspects of Ethereum: protocol evolution, security, privacy, client development, and the foundational access layer. Key areas within the Protocol layer, led by an architecture group including Vitalik Buterin and Justin Drake, receive heightened emphasis. These include post-quantum security, zkEVM, formal verification, and long-term roadmap development ("Strawmap"). This reflects a shift towards tackling complex, interdependent challenges like scalability, privacy, and future-proofing the protocol, potentially moving from a pure "redundant security" multi-client model towards more specialized clients aided by AI-assisted formal verification. Financially, EF's budget is being reduced by approximately 40%. The goal is to transition from spending about 15% of its remaining funds annually to a more sustainable 5% rate, akin to a long-term endowment, ensuring its longevity. Concurrently, the restructuring involves pushing certain responsibilities—such as application development, adoption, and ecosystem coordination—to external organizations like EthLabs, the Ethereum Apps Guild, and others. This "multi-node" model aims to increase ecosystem resilience by decentralizing functions beyond the EF, though it introduces new coordination challenges. In essence, the reorganization represents EF consciously narrowing its scope to focus on the hardest, most critical protocol-level problems while fostering a more distributed and sustainable ecosystem structure for Ethereum's future growth.

Report Analysis: What Is Coherent Planning as CPO Booms?

Title: Report Interpretation: What Moves Is Coherent Making Amid the CPO Boom? Summary: JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee reiterates an Overweight rating on Coherent (COHR), citing undervalued growth potential across three core areas: data center optical transceivers, co-packaged optics (CPO) chips, and industrial lasers/thermal management. COHR's 1.6T data center transceivers are in high demand, with pricing remaining firm. The rise of CPO is seen not as a threat but as a catalyst, creating higher demand for sophisticated optical components, an area where COHR holds a competitive edge with its comprehensive portfolio (lasers, isolators, VCSELs, thermoelectric coolers). Each CPO chip offers significantly greater revenue potential than traditional transceivers. Furthermore, its Optical Circuit Switch (OCS) technology targets a potential $4B market with reliability and power advantages. The company is expanding its InP (Indium Phosphide) device capacity fourfold within two years, securing substrate supply and transitioning to more cost-effective 6-inch wafers. As one of only two major suppliers of high-quality pump lasers—currently in severe shortage—COHR can now move up the value chain from components to complete line cards/systems, boosting ASP over tenfold. Gross margin targets (>42%) may be revised upward due to high-end product premiums, cost improvements from the wafer transition, and contributions from new high-margin products like CPO and OCS. Its efficient thermadite thermal material also offers long-term growth. Industrial segment revenue grows at a steady 5-10%, supported by semiconductor equipment orders. Changes in Apple's Face ID protocol present a re-competition opportunity for 3D sensing. Overall, Coherent is positioned as a key infrastructure provider, with AI-driven compute demand fueling the need for high-speed optical interconnectivity. Growth from CPO/OCS, stable industrial performance, and margin improvement support the bullish thesis. *Disclaimer: This summary interprets a third-party analyst report from JP Morgan.

Dan Koe's New Article: Escape the Fate of the Wage Slave, How to Survive in the Tide of AI Replacement?

Dan Koe's article argues that the real threat in the AI era is not technology itself, but financial dependency on employers. He critiques the "wage slavery" of unfulfilling work and identifies five core skills for resilience: agency, taste, persuasion, persistence, and iteration. These are developed not by consuming content, but by starting your own venture. The key to escaping the "employee mindset" is a radical identity shift. This requires: 1) Drastically changing your environment and daily inputs, 2) Choosing a creative medium (like content or code) that provides real-world feedback through trial and error, and 3) Using that feedback to learn and adapt. Koe strongly advocates for content creation over coding for beginners, as it builds irreplaceable subjective taste and audience connection. The practical starting point is a 15-minute self-inquiry to define your "life's work." Answer: What do you know deeply? What innate abilities do you have? What childhood interests were suppressed? Then, identify your contrarian beliefs—what does the mainstream get wrong in your area? The overlap is your unique direction. The final, non-negotiable step is to publish your first piece of content tomorrow. Embrace that it will be bad; the goal is to enter the feedback loop of creation, learning, and iteration, which is the true path to independence.

After Laying Off 20% of Staff, What Are the Key Points of EF's New Structure?

Following the completion of a months-long organizational restructuring, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) announced a 20% workforce reduction (approximately 54 employees) on June 23rd. It reorganized its teams into five new core clusters: Protocol, Access, User, Community, and Institutional (plus Operations/Management support units). Officially, this move implements the EF's 2026 Mandate and 2025 Treasury Management Policy, aiming to create a more focused and "self-sovereign" organization. The restructuring prioritizes the CROPS principles—Censorship Resistance, Openness & Freedom, Privacy, and Security—as foundational organizational tenets. The Protocol cluster will focus on core protocol R&D, including MEV reduction and zkEVM. The Access cluster emphasizes preserving user "zero option" for non-custodial, permissionless interaction. The User, Community, and Institutional clusters will manage external engagement, with the latter handling institutional and regulatory matters. While offering enhanced severance and transition support for affected employees, the EF did not disclose budget allocations or specific KPIs for the new clusters. This has led to market uncertainty about the impact on project funding and development priorities. Analysts note the announcement's positive tone of mission focus contrasts with a backdrop of recent EF leadership changes and broader ecosystem pressures. The true impact—whether this signifies strategic realignment or reactive contraction—will become clearer as the new structure's resource allocation and project prioritization are revealed in the coming months.
