本文要点:

● 随着GBTC赎回规模(现已达到$48亿)压倒性地超过了挑战者基金的资金流入,BTC现货ETF整体呈现资金净流出状态。

● 据报道,FTX破产资产已完成对其GBTC头寸的出售,但其他一些大型GBTC头寸的命运尚未可知,且因持续的法律纠纷而变得复杂。

● 链上ETF交易数据对资金流向的解读具有误导性,我们敦促投资者不要将其用于投资决策。

● 要更实时地了解潜在的GBTC赎回情况,建议投资者查看具体的交易指标。

由于GBTC的资金流出量超过了挑战者的流入量,净流量陷入停滞

在最初大量资金流入现货BTC ETF之后,趋势在第6至第10个交易日发生逆转,ETF目前总体呈现净流出状态。处于领先地位的是灰度比特币信托基金(GBTC)目前已处理$48亿的赎回。

虽然挑战者基金(除GBTC以外的其他BTC现货ETF,WEEX唯客注)的资金流入一直不错,但每天从GBTC流出的资金现在已经压倒性地超过了流入量。现货ETF的每日累计流入量在第6个交易日达到$12.6亿的峰值后由正转负,截至目前累计只有$733万。

1)截至目前,GBTC持有者已赎回$48亿

鉴于GBTC是现货ETF领域的庞然大物,其资金流出一直备受关注,因为该基金与竞争者基金之间的费率差为1.5%,其中许多挑战者基金还在特定时间范围和/或AUM规模内免除费用。

自现货ETF交易(以及将GBTC转换为ETF)开始以来,投资者已从GBTC中赎回了$48亿。其中大部分可能进入了挑战者基金,但鉴于我们所做的第一个观察,现货ETF整体上呈现为资金净流出状态,这些流出并没有完全落在挑战者基金中。

GBTC流出何时停止?

虽然每日资金流出似乎正在放缓,但目前尚不清楚这个问题的明确答案。人们需要了解成本基础、持有时间范围、税务情况和投资者偏好才能做出准确的评估。

摩根大通最初估计流出额为$27亿(我们不清楚它的评估方法),但鉴于目前的流量量,这个数据似乎严重低估了。

从某种意义上说,灰度掌握着自己的命运,因为它可以通过降低费用来阻止资金外流到挑战者基金。但目前,灰度尚未通过降低费用来应对竞争威胁,也就是说,灰度的客户流失在其可接受范围内。

其实,即使没有费用减免活动,挑战者基金的费率也很低(iShares和Fidelity分别为0.25%和0.30%),灰度可能会继续忍受客户流失,直到数学公式指示它降低费用以实现收入最大化。

2)回顾过去,链上数据对GBTC具有误导性

每个交易日上午10点左右,链上数据分析师都会识别并发布从GBTC移出的比特币数量,作为赎回的衡量标准。不幸的是,由于对ETF底层运作方式的误解,导致人们对这些信息的含义产生了一些误解。

首先,我们对社区和数据提供商识别这些地址以及Bitwise自我报告其托管地址所做的工作表示赞许。然而不幸的是,链上变动几乎没有透露任何相应的信息,依赖它们来获取前瞻性信息将导致错误的结论。

简而言之,与GBTC地址相关的链上变动代表了2天(有时是1天)前已经发生的交易的结算,它们纯粹反映了过去的交易行为,并不代表代币被发送到交易所进行清算。这是因为,与现金赎回订单相关的结算机制使代币以T+2(有时是T+1)的方式转移到比特币流动性提供者。

真实情况是,在交易日(T=0),流动性提供者(JSCT、Virtu、FlowTraders和Flowdesk作为最初指定的LP,但可能还会有更多)在美东时间下午4点执行现货销售,以最接近地复制CoinDesk XBX指数。现在它们是代币空头,并通过抛售成为现金多头。两天后(T+2),结算时,LP将现金发送给流动性管理商(BNY),并从托管人(Coinbase)处获得相应的代币以弥补其空头头寸。

从Coinbase到LP的这种变化是链上分析师所看到的,但纯粹是2天前的交易结算,因此是滞后的。如果您想更加及时地了解GBTC赎回(目前只有赎回)的情况(无法从交易生态系统外部提前了解),我们建议查看下午4点收盘时的交易量。

3)指数差异导致的交易特殊性

主要ETF的资产净值(NAV)指数之间的差异在传统市场的最后一小时(从下午3点到4点)创造了一些特殊的交易模式。在较高层面上,作为资金流入来源(现货买入)的基金指数依赖于一小时内的加权价格(TWAP–时间加权平均价格或VWMP–交易量加权平均价格),而基金(GBTC)一直是资金流出(现货销售)的一个来源,依赖于下午4点的抢购价格。

由于LP总体上试图通过现货市场复制指数价格,因此他们在下午3点至4点窗口的大部分时间内都在市场上买入,但随后在下午4点进行大量抛售。由于这些指数差异,我们观察到了一些有趣的成交量和价格动态。

4)FTX清算GBTC头寸,其他大型头寸的命运未知

上周早些时候,有报道称,FTX破产财产已清算其持有的GBTC股票,这可能是迄今为止资金流出的很大一部分。FTX曾委托Galaxy Asset Management清算其所持股份,截至转换为ETF之前的收盘价,该公司持有2230万股GBTC股票,价值约9亿美元。

还有两个大型GBTC头寸,它们的命运尚未可知。

Gemini可能持有3,090万股GBTC股票(按当前价格计算为11亿美元),这是由于Genesis在Earn项目借款中提供的抵押品被收回导致的。

另外还有3610万股GBTC股票(按当前价格计算为13亿美元)由Grayscale的关联公司持有,例如其母公司DCG集团,其中大部分存放在Genesis。关联公司持有的这3,610万股中,有3,120万股已作为Gemini Earn计划的额外抵押品,但从未被收回,并且目前正面临Genesis和Gemini之间的未决法律纠纷(已被收回的另外3,090万股同样受此官司影响)。

这些股票可能在过去几周内已在市场上出售,但鉴于诉讼进程还没结束,所以还不能确定。

展望未来

随着ETF的推出逐渐成为人们关注的焦点,我们正在关注一些事情。

首先,我们希望看到GBTC的资金流出正常化或放缓。虽然每日资金流出正在放缓,但对于资金流出的时间点或AUM规模还没有达成共识。观察美东时间下午4点收盘时的交易量(Coinbase通常是主要交易所)应该可以实时了解这些资金流出情况。

其次,我们继续关注挑战者基金,它们的资金流入也在放缓。富达和贝莱德(iShares)是值得关注的重点。

最后,我们正在关注期权交易的推出。所有交易所均已向SEC提交期权交易申请。针对这些申请的公众评议期将于2月15日结束。

Two Legends Lost in Three Days: Is Google's AI Talent Dam Cracking?

In three days, Google lost two AI legends. On June 18, Noam Shazeer, co-author of the seminal "Attention is All You Need" paper and Gemini co-lead, left for OpenAI. Just 48 hours later, John Jumper, 2024 Nobel laureate and AlphaFold lead, departed DeepMind for Anthropic. This follows Andrej Karpathy joining Anthropic in May. These moves highlight a structural trend: top AI talent is concentrating at mission-driven, pre-IPO firms like OpenAI and Anthropic, while Google becomes a primary source. The exodus stems from a core mission mismatch. Google's ad-centric model often subordinates AI research to product and revenue goals, creating friction for pioneers like Shazeer, who returned in 2024 only to leave again. In contrast, OpenAI and Anthropic offer singular focus on pushing AI boundaries, whether towards AGI or safety-aligned models, which deeply appeals to top researchers like Jumper. Financial incentives amplify the pull. With both OpenAI and Anthropic nearing IPO, employees stand to gain immensely from equity, an upside Google's mature stock cannot match. Furthermore, the 2023 merger of Google Brain and DeepMind, intended to consolidate strength, has instead created cultural tension and slowed the path from research to product, as evidenced by Gemini's pace. This talent redistribution is reshaping the AI landscape. While Google retains vast data and compute resources, its true crisis is the quiet, continuous loss of the people who define the field's future. The real moat in AI is not infrastructure, but the concentration of brilliant minds—a battle Google is currently losing.

Behind the AI Report Card, Lies a Chinese 'Exam Setter'

Beyond the familiar performance charts like MMLU-Pro and MMMU, which major AI models strive to ace, stands a key "examiner": Chinese-Canadian researcher Wenhu Chen. An assistant professor at the University of Waterloo and founder of TIGERLab, Chen addresses the crucial need for more rigorous AI evaluation. As models like GPT-4 began scoring near-perfect results on older benchmarks like MMLU, it became difficult to distinguish their true capabilities. In response, Chen introduced MMLU-Pro in 2024, featuring harder, more reasoning-focused questions with more answer choices, successfully reintroducing meaningful performance gaps. His work extends to multi-modal evaluation with MMMU and its enhanced version, MMMU-Pro. These benchmarks test a model's ability to understand and reason with complex information from images, charts, and text across diverse academic subjects, exposing the significant challenges even top models face in genuine comprehension. Chen's background in complex QA, table reasoning, and his experience at Google DeepMind on projects like Gemini inform his approach. He understands that effective benchmarks must anticipate how models might "cheat" by memorizing data or avoiding visual analysis. His lab also actively researches video understanding and generation models (e.g., UniVideo, Vamba), ensuring his evaluation work is grounded in practical model-building challenges. Now at Meta's Super Intelligence Lab, Chen continues his focus on multi-modal data and evaluation, representing the deep yet often unseen contributions of Chinese talent in shaping the fundamental tools of the AI industry.

Alliance Co-founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: Written at the Moment Cursor Sold for $600 Billion

Alliance Co-founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: On Cursor's $60 Billion Sale Many aspiring founders see massive exits like Cursor's $60B sale and wonder why they can't achieve the same, often concluding opportunities are exhausted. But great companies aren't built in obvious, crowded spaces. Cursor, like Stripe, Figma, and Shopify before it, started with a non-consensus belief about the future. Before ChatGPT, they believed AI would transform knowledge work. They focused on a genuinely exciting domain, became their own customer, and obsessed over power users. Their journey involved years of "glass-chewing" effort before the market was ready. The pattern is consistent: identify a long-term technological shift, find a missed entry point, and execute for years before the trend becomes obvious. First-generation products (PayPal, Adobe, Amazon) prove a market exists. Second-generation winners (Stripe, Figma, Shopify) rebuild that market around new insights, technology, or changing customer behaviors. Founders must identify their phase in the cycle. Early entrants like Coinbase or Cursor focus on making new technology usable for power users. Later entrants find the "yin" to the established "yang"—the blind spots incumbents miss as they grow distant from individual users. The key is deep market immersion. Use every product in your space. Talk to users. Build an audience. Stop looking for ideas and start *seeing* them everywhere. Then, choose one. The idea must offer a 10x improvement or solve a "hair-on-fire" pain point—something severe enough that users are already crafting workarounds. When building, avoid feature bloat. Ask: why would someone switch? Great startups rarely force new behaviors; they improve familiar workflows with drastically lower friction (e.g., Cursor forked VS Code instead of creating a new editor). Distribution is the underestimated moat. Before product-market fit, achieve distribution-market fit. How do customers discover new tools? Founders like those at Airbnb, Stripe, and Cursor did unscalable, manual work to recruit early users. The final, unteachable ingredient is resilience. Cursor built for years pre-market, faced rejection, and persisted. So did Airbnb, Nvidia, and Rain (which launched post-FTX collapse). The lesson isn't that these founders were smarter, but that they stayed in the game long enough for their insights to compound. Framework: Spot technological cycles. Cultivate unique insight. Obsess over your market. Talk to customers. Find a hair-on-fire problem. Build the simplest wedge. Win your distribution channel. Above all, don't quit when it gets hard. Most people won't do these things consistently. The few who do build the next generation of great companies. Go build.

Alliance's Co-Founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: Written on the Occasion of Cursor's $60 Billion Sale

In this letter to entrepreneurs, Alliance reflects on the success of Cursor's $60 billion sale to Elon Musk, using it as a case study to counter the misconception that opportunities in crowded fields like AI or crypto are exhausted. The piece argues that great companies like Cursor, Stripe, Figma, and Shopify are not built by geniuses with perfect ideas, but by founders who start with a non-consensus belief about the future and build for years before that future becomes obvious to everyone. They identify long-term shifts, find overlooked entry points, and execute relentlessly. The framework for success involves: 1. **Identifying your place in the technology cycle**: Early-stage opportunities focus on making new tech usable for power users (e.g., Coinbase, Cursor). Later-stage opportunities involve finding the "yin" to an existing "yang"—the blind spots of first-generation players (e.g., Stripe vs. PayPal, Figma vs. Adobe). 2. **Cultivating unique insights**: Immerse yourself deeply in the market. Use every product, talk to users, and build an audience. Insights will emerge naturally from deep engagement. 3. **Finding a "hair-on-fire" problem**: Look for a 10x improvement or a severe, urgent pain point. The strongest signal is people already building clumsy workarounds. 4. **Building a focused MVP**: Don't just add features because you can. Ask why users would abandon their current tool for yours. The best startups rarely force new behaviors; they improve familiar workflows with drastically lower friction. 5. **Winning a distribution channel**: Distribution is often the moat. Before product-market fit, achieve channel-market fit. Find where your customers are and build an engine to reach them, even through unscalable, manual efforts initially. 6. **Persistence**: The final, unteachable ingredient is resilience. Success stories like Cursor, Airbnb, and Nvidia involved years of grinding, rejection, and perseverance when the path forward seemed unclear. The conclusion is that there is no secret. Most people fail to consistently execute these steps over the long term. The few who do build the companies that define the next era. The world is yours to create.
