这次富途的入局,意味着香港头部券商已悉数入局 Web3。

撰文:吴天一

8 月 1 日,据明报报道,富途香港今日正式上线受香港证监会规管的虚拟货币交易服务,包括 BTC、ETH 与美元、港币在内的四个现货交易对,可直接使用港币及美元以实时汇率直接买入虚拟货币。

根据官网信息,富途目前持有香港 1、7 号牌照, 而艾德、胜利、老虎等老牌券商则拥有 1 号牌照。而 2023 年 6 月 1 日起,在港从事虚拟资产交易服务,也需获得证监会颁发的「VASP 牌照」。根据香港证监会官网信息,这些券商的 VASP 牌照仍在申请中,富途、老虎等申请目前均为「被视为已获发牌」状态。

DeThings 记者观察到,这些券商主要通过与合规交易所合作拓展其业务。此前,在 6 月首届 HashKey 新视界论坛上,香港持牌虚拟资产交易所 HashKey Exchange CEO Livio Weng 就透露过,目前已与富途就虚拟资产交易开展合作,对接技术系统,一旦富途的 1 号牌升级获批,就可以向客户提供 BTC、ETH 的交易服务。

如今 HashKey Exchange 除了是香港最大的持牌交易所之外,也成为了香港最大的 Omnibus 服务提供商。

凭借香港持牌市场最大的交易量和最好的流动性,目前几乎所有主流香港券商,均通过接入 HashKey Exchange 来面向客户提供交易服务。据 HashKey Exchange 公告,目前 Omnibus 经纪商业务周交易量已突破 1 亿港元。对于刚起步的业务来说,已是相当亮眼的表现。

当券商入场加密交易时,其业务范围将有别于传统券商。根据香港《证券及期货条例》、《中华人民共和国证券法》等法律对于券商的定义,其作为提供投资者证券买卖交易服务的法人组织,拥有接受客户委托,代客下单买卖证券以收取手续费之业务,自营则是证券商以自己名义进行证券买卖之业务。证券商不得收受存款、办理放款、借贷有价证券等。因此,VASP 牌照获批前,这些券商或需以合作形式提供虚拟资产服务。

富途证券是全香港最大的科技券商,注册用户数约占香港成年人口三分之一。用户资产量达 4856 亿港元,2023 年交易总额达 42566 亿港元。此外,还有与富途经历类似的老虎、盈透证券等美资背景的香港券商,胜利证券、富强证券等则是港资背景的香港券商,以及更为低调的中资背景的香港券商。

而这次富途的入局,意味着香港头部券商已悉数入局 Web3。

5 月,胜利证券表示,目前胜利证券正在申请香港虚拟资产交易所牌照,至于其证券型代币发行(STO)业务,最快将于年底推出。6 月,老虎证券(香港)表示,其已正式向香港散户投资者推出虚拟资产交易服务。7 月,香港艾德金融宣布即将通过旗下智能交易应用 Eddid ONE 推出比特币、以太币交易功能。

这些券商的步伐显得有一些着急,其背后可能有诸多原因,首先,自今年 1 月比特币 ETF 通过、4 月比特币第四次减半完成以来,比特币一度到达 74,000 美元,而在过去几个月,比特币价格一度反复震荡,市场时常出现本轮牛市已经过半或者已经见顶的论调。或许是不想错过本轮牛市,各家券商都在积极推进虚拟资产交易服务。

其次,香港股市持续疲软或也造成一定压力。数据显示,恒生指数在三年之间从超过三万点,跌至最低谷的 14,863 点,目前仅恢复到 17000 点。此前港股多个交易日的成交额不足 1000 亿港元,千只港股成交额在 1 万港元以下,700 余港股零成交。此外,今年上半年从香港股市摘牌的上市公司有 19 家,其中 8 家公司是透过私有化退市,涉及金额 38 亿美元。

在港股「寒潮」、上市公司频频摘牌之时,券商选择加密货币作为新的投资选项,或许是香港金融的一剂强心针。入场的背后,代表着大量 Web2 用户获得了连接虚拟资产的入口。

根据香港投资者及理财教育委员会(投委会)最新调查,零售投资者过去一年有 96% 曾投资股票,24% 曾投资基金,18% 有投资债券。当中,投资虚拟资产及相关产品的有 8%,相比 2019 年的 1% 及 2021 年的 6%,有明显上升趋势。

香港目前有约 400 万股民,富途证券表示,根据其行业调查,逾 40% 未曾交易过虚拟资产的投资者表示希望于富途牛牛作交易,而近 75.6% 的经验投资者也支持富途平台推出虚拟资产交易服务。

去年 8 月,HashKey Group 首席运营官翁晓奇也表示,正在与大约 5 家香港本地券商合作,以建立与 HashKey 加密货币交易服务相关的入口。翁晓奇表示希望通过这些券商平台直接向投资者提供加密货币交易服务,「这可能会带来数千万在这些平台上交易港股的用户」。

此外,香港此前一直被批合规成本高昂,服务商恐入不敷出,但据文汇报报道,胜利证券透露其虚拟资产相关收入可以保持占该公司总收入的 4 分之 1,甚至 3 分之 1 水平,得益于入场较早的优势,其虚拟资产业务的投资已大致回本,现在已实现利润。

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.

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.

Top-Tier MEV Bot Loses $7.5 Million: Is 'Approval' the Most Overlooked Fatal Risk On-Chain?

The article discusses a sophisticated attack on a prominent Ethereum MEV (Miner Extractable Value) bot, Jaredfromsubway.eth, resulting in a loss exceeding $7.5 million. Unlike typical exploits involving key leaks or smart contract bugs, this attack was a carefully orchestrated "reverse hunt." The attacker spent weeks deploying fake tokens and liquidity pools that mimicked legitimate assets like WETH and USDC. These pools were designed to appear as profitable arbitrage opportunities, tricking the automated bot's trading logic. During its normal operation, the bot was induced to grant ERC-20 token approvals to the malicious contracts. Once sufficient permissions were accumulated, the attacker drained the bot's funds by calling these pre-approved allowances. This incident highlights the often-underestimated risks associated with token approvals in Web3. The article explains that approvals are a fundamental mechanism, allowing smart contracts (like DEXs) to move a user's tokens on their behalf. However, risks arise from practices like granting infinite approvals, the persistence of approvals even after disconnecting from a dApp, and the potential for a once-trusted contract to become compromised later. The piece concludes with advice for managing approval risks: users should adopt the principle of least privilege (approving only the needed amount), use separate wallets for storage versus interactions, and regularly audit and revoke unnecessary approvals using tools like Revoke.cash. It also emphasizes the role of wallets like imToken in providing proactive defenses, such as risk warnings and clear, readable transaction signing interfaces, to help users make informed decisions. Ultimately, wallet security must extend beyond private key protection to include active management of token approvals.
