从历史上看,每当我们看到这种全球经济恐慌时,加密货币最初都会下跌,但在接下来的一年里会上涨。

本周末,加密货币市场出现大幅抛售。从上周五下午 4 点到周一早上 7 点,比特币下跌了近 20%,从 63,356 美元跌至 51,026 美元。以太坊表现更差,从 3,307 美元跌至 2,234 美元,跌幅超过 30%(注:作者所在美国时区比北京时间晚 12 小时)。截止目前,加密货币市场出现一定程度的反弹。

当然,加密货币并不是唯一暴跌的市场。

全球资本市场因经济衰退和地缘政治担忧加剧而动荡不安。在日本,日经指数刚刚经历了自 1987 年以来最糟糕的一天,跌幅超过 12%。在美国,纳斯达克期货下跌超过 4%,VIX 波动率指数自上周五以来上涨了 100%。

如果你和大多数加密货币投资者一样,你会经历剧烈的情绪波动,恐惧或绝望。对许多人来说,最令人震惊的情绪是愤怒。

「加密货币不是能够对冲全球不确定性吗?到底怎么回事?」

我也有同样的感受。但根据我六年多全职管理加密货币资金的经历,有一件事我感受更深,那就是机会。

新冠疫情引发抛售带来的教训

上一次市场类似的崩溃是在 2020 年 3 月 12 日。那一天,全世界都意识到了新冠疫情将产生重大影响。

以防万一你忘记了,让我提醒你一下:那是一片混乱。

3 月 12 日,道琼斯工业指数下跌 2,353 点,创下 1987 年以来的最大单日跌幅。科技股和大宗商品均大幅下跌。我们都以为全球经济即将终结。第二天早上,总统宣布全国进入紧急状态。

在所有资产中,比特币跌幅最大,从 7,911 美元跌至 4,971 美元,跌幅达 37%。这是一次惊心动魄跳水,24 小时内抹去了一年的收益。

当时的感觉是,我们可能就此完蛋了。媒体声称比特币作为对冲资产的考验失败了。

然后发生了一件了不起的事情。随着全球领导人采取措施稳定经济(降低利率、印钞),比特币开始上涨。一年后,比特币交易价格达到 57,332 美元,涨幅超过 1,000%。

回想起来,2020 年 3 月 12 日并不是一个值得恐慌的日子。这是十年来购买比特币的最佳时机。

事后看来,原因很容易理解。比特币并没有因为新冠疫情而发生根本性变化。3 月 11 日和 3 月 12 日,比特币的最大数量(2100 万)相同。3 月 11 日,你不需要依赖任何银行、政府或公司将财富存储在比特币中,3 月 12 日也是如此。

与此同时,新冠疫情也为比特币的长期上涨增添了更多理由。它表明,各国央行一有麻烦就会出手拯救经济。它证明了中心化机构的局限性。它提醒我们,未来将更加网络化和数字化。

这些变化都表明比特币的重要性将不断提升,而不是降低。从长远来看,事实也确实如此。

今天我看到了同样的情景。

此次市场崩溃的原因

我不想花太多时间回顾导致当前市场回调的原因。简而言之:周五美国公布的疲软经济数据引发了人们对全球经济放缓的担忧。这在亚洲引发了恐慌,日元套利交易(一种旨在利用货币间利差的策略)的迅速平仓导致日本股市大幅下跌。另外,对中东地缘政治风险的担忧也在加剧,伊朗威胁要袭击以色列。

这些事件恰好与加密货币市场特殊的负面进展重叠,一家大型做市商(Jump Trading)陷入困境,大量仓位被强制清算。

所有这一切都发生在一个流动性较低的夏季周末,进一步加剧了下跌。

但请注意接下来会发生什么:我们将要看到新冠疫情剧本的重演。

联邦基金期货市场已经将激进的应对措施纳入定价。一周前,美联储主席 Jerome Powell 还在淡化今年降息的必要性,市场预计美联储 9 月会议降息 50 个基点的可能性仅为 11%。如今,市场将这一可能性提高到了 98%。一些人甚至呼吁在 9 月会议前「紧急降息」。

那么,印钞机真的会来吗?如果历史可以借鉴的话,答案是肯定的。新冠疫情期间就发生过,2010 年欧元危机后也发生过,2008 年也发生过。如果本周末发生的事件导致真正的经济动荡,那么这种情况还会再次发生。

未来需要关注什么

从短期来看,关键问题是加密货币市场是否已经触底。加密货币市场的大幅回调可能会自我循环,形成一个下行周期。这是因为,随着价格下跌,杠杆交易者面临追加保证金的要求,并被迫抛售。我们已经看到超过 10 亿美元的期货清算,目前还不清楚我们是否已经触底。

另外,需要关注加密生态系统中公司的健康状况。正如我们在 2021 年危机中所看到的那样,非常剧烈的波动可能会击垮资产负债表杠杆过高的公司。已经有传言称至少有一家做市商(Jump Trading)面临挑战,如果出现传播,可能会延长下跌趋势。

我还会关注 ETF 的资金流情况,看看 ETF 投资者是否会趁此回调抛售或买入更多。这三个因素将在很大程度上决定我们短期内的走向。

但我真正的建议是忽略短期因素,将目光投向远方。比特币是一种波动性资产,涨跌幅度大。一直以来都是如此,而且这种情况还会持续。当前的时刻再次证明,把握市场时机是愚蠢的。

将交易台心态带入加密货币领域是错的。你投资的是全球货币运作方式的一次千载难逢的变革。抵制关注日内价格的冲动,而是关注比特币明年、五年和十年后可能达到的水平。

当你在华尔街找到第一份工作时,他们会告诉你,金融业最昂贵的四个字是「这次不一样」。

从历史上看,每当我们看到这种全球经济恐慌时,加密货币最初都会下跌,但在接下来的一年里会上涨。也许这一次真的不一样,但我不敢打赌。事实上,我打赌剧本还会重演。

Soaring Export Data for Memory Chips, Market Is Redefining the Valuation Anchor for Memory Stocks

Korean storage export data for the first 20 days of June shows substantial year-on-year increases in both value and price-per-kilogram for categories like DRAM, NAND, and SSDs. This signals a potential shift beyond simple demand recovery, indicating rising prices and a product mix shift towards higher-value items, possibly influenced by AI infrastructure needs. A key point is that the surge in price-per-kilogram is not simply a uniform chip price hike. It reflects a combination of actual price increases and, more importantly, an export structure increasingly dominated by high-value-density products like HBM (High-Bandwidth Memory) and advanced DRAM, which are critical for AI servers. This suggests AI-driven demand may be spilling over from just HBM into broader memory markets. SK Hynix stands to benefit directly due to its leading HBM position. For Samsung and Micron, the implication is potential for greater margin elasticity if the tightness in high-end memory spreads to enterprise SSD and NAND prices. However, the storage sector remains cyclical. Risks include supply expansion, inventory changes, and potential slowdowns in broader AI capital expenditure. Ultimately, while the strong export data supports upward revisions for storage company earnings and fuels discussion of an "AI infrastructure bottleneck premium," a definitive valuation shift from a cyclical to a structural story depends on upcoming quarterly reports. Investors need confirmation from SK Hynix, Samsung, and Micron that improvements in average selling prices, product mix, and, crucially,毛利率 are sustained over multiple quarters.

Why Does SpaceX Have Such a High Valuation Ceiling? The Answer Lies in Musk's Business Blueprint

SpaceX achieved a record-breaking IPO on June 12, 2026, with its market cap surging past $2.1 trillion. This valuation reflects its central role within Elon Musk's expansive, interconnected technological ecosystem. The article details how four core components form a synergistic closed-loop system: 1) **The "Brain" (xAI & Orbital Compute):** xAI provides AI models and massive ground/space-based supercomputing for simulation and decision-making across the system. 2) **The "Neural Logistics Core" (Starlink & Starship):** Starlink's low-latency satellite network enables global data transmission, while Starship's low-cost, reusable launch capacity aims to make large-scale space deployment economically viable. 3) **The "Physical Body" (Tesla & Optimus):** Tesla's manufacturing prowess and energy products support hardware production and power, pivoting toward mass-producing the Optimus humanoid robot for terrestrial and potential space-based labor. 4) **The "Human Interface" (Neuralink & X):** Neuralink seeks direct brain-computer communication, and the X platform provides real-time societal data. Together, these elements create three reinforcing "flywheels": manufacturing/logistics, data-driven iteration, and energy/compute/network synergy. This integrated approach promises lower costs, faster innovation cycles, and potential infrastructure-as-a-service offerings. However, it also concentrates technical, regulatory, and corporate governance risks. Ultimately, SpaceX's high valuation stems from its position as the indispensable infrastructural backbone—handling space transport, global communications, and future orbital computing—tying together Musk's entire vision for a self-reinforcing technological empire.

Snap, Unprofitable for Nine Years, and a Decade-Long AR Obsession Without Return

Snap's AR Obsession: A Decade of Betting Against the Odds On June 16, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel unveiled the new AR glasses, Specs, priced at $2,195, causing the company's stock (SNAP) to plummet nearly 10%. The launch was met with intense criticism online, with investors questioning why a consistently unprofitable company would stake its future on an expensive product its core young user base can't afford. Snapchat, known for pioneering features like ephemeral Stories and popular AR lenses (like the iconic dog filter), has a history of innovation often copied by rivals like Instagram and Meta. Despite this, it has struggled to translate first-mover advantage into commercial success. Since its 2017 IPO, Snap has reported annual net losses, with a Q1 2026 loss of $89 million. Its stock is down 94% from its 2021 peak, hampered by iOS privacy changes, competition, and a young demographic less attractive to major advertisers. In this challenging context, Spiegel is doubling down on AR. He calls 2026 a "crucible moment," having recently laid off 16% of staff while reportedly investing over $3.5 billion cumulatively in its AR glasses line over nearly a decade. The new Specs represent a significant leap from the 2016 camera-focused Spectacles, offering true AR overlays, gesture control, and standalone operation. However, at $2,195, it faces tough comparisons. While more advanced than Meta's $799 Ray-Ban smart glasses, critics point to its heavier weight, short battery life, and features largely replicable by a smartphone. Facing pressure from investors to cut losses on the Specs project, Spiegel has refused, framing it as essential to Snap's long-term vision. The company finds itself in a paradoxical position: cutting costs while heavily funding a decade-long, unproven bet. Some see Specs as an awkward but necessary step in AR's evolution, akin to early mobile phones. Whether Spiegel is a visionary outlier or a gambler destined to fail remains an open question, highlighting the tension between long-term ambition and short-term market demands.

Annualized Revenue Exceeds $20 Billion, Kalshi Aims to Become the First Prediction Platform IPO?

Kalshi, a leading U.S. prediction markets platform, is reportedly in early, informal discussions for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). The company's annualized revenue now exceeds $2 billion, fueled by its dominance of over 90% of the domestic prediction market activity. This growth stems from a surge in trading volume—reaching a total of $52.7 billion—and an increase in fee rates, largely driven by sports event contracts like the NBA playoffs and the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Monthly active users are approximately 2 million. Kalshi recently raised $1 billion in a funding round led by Coatue Management, valuing the company at $22 billion. It has also expanded its offerings to include Bitcoin perpetual contracts and plans to launch a dedicated trading platform, Kalshi Pro. However, Kalshi's path to an IPO faces significant regulatory hurdles. The core risk involves jurisdictional conflicts, as multiple U.S. states are challenging its operations under local gambling laws. For instance, Arizona has filed criminal charges against the platform, while states like Kentucky have filed lawsuits. Kalshi and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) argue that its event contracts fall under exclusive federal jurisdiction as "swaps." The outcomes of these ongoing legal battles could critically impact Kalshi's core revenue and its IPO timeline. Analysts suggest that while an IPO could theoretically occur by late 2026, a more likely timeframe is late 2027 or 2028, contingent on resolving legal issues and favorable market conditions. If successful, its fundraising could significantly exceed $1 billion, given its current valuation and revenue multiple.
