很容易关注消极面,但仍有很多理由保持乐观。

目前,私人加密风投的情绪是自 2022 年第四季度以来最糟糕的。

随着我们进入今年的最后筹资冲刺阶段,以下是一些关于当前局势的思考以及未来的关注点。

在过去的一个季度中,平均协议估值大幅下降。Pre-seed 阶段的估值现在稳定在 1000 万到 2000 万美元之间,而 Seed 阶段则在 2000 万到 3000 万美元之间。

这些估值水平与 2024 年第一季度相比大相径庭,当时的估值几乎是现在的两倍。

那么,是什么原因导致了这种情况呢?

  1. 风投资金短缺

  2. 持有资金的风投变得谨慎

  3. 风投币在公开市场表现不佳

  4. 投资者感到创新不足

  5. 选举带来了显著的风险因素

1. 许多风投已接近基金的使用期限,要么尚未筹集新基金,要么在筹集过程中遇到困难。许多有限合伙人(LP)在重新投资前等待收益分配。

由于风投对收益分配没有明确的预期,他们对剩余资金的使用变得非常挑剔。

2. 在 22/23 年保持谨慎的风投在 23 年第四季度市场回暖时感到错失机会。他们在 24 年第一季度的火热市场中过度投资,如今正在承受后果。

即便他们手中有资金,他们仍然对市场持观望态度,等待更好的投资时机。

3. 风投币的表现远逊于主流币(甚至是 memecoin),这让风投对投资方向感到困惑。

加密私募投资情绪降至冰点,未来该何去何从?

  • 私人市场吞噬了大部分收益

  • 低流通量和高 FDV 带来了极大的通胀风险

  • 风投币的 Token 价格在公开市场上持续低迷

4. 投资者感到创新不足

CT 时间线上的讨论围绕网络扩展与 L2,模块化与单片,L1 与 L2 费用等进行,这些都是零和博弈的信号。

如果生态系统在不断发展,我们会努力吸引新用户并寻找融资机会以推动创新。

5. LP 和风投正在观望选举结果

Gensler 并未显示出放缓的迹象。当即将上任的政府有可能继续对你的行业施压四年时,这并不是一个好兆头。

如果我有一个好主意并想筹集资金,我该怎么办?

不要犹豫,但要谨慎筹资。

最终,筹资是建立订单簿需求侧的过程。作为创始人,你需要在估值、稀释和合作伙伴质量之间取得平衡,但你并不知道市场上你的项目的最终定价会是多少。

很多创始人在与投资者交流之前就已经设定了他们的估值。

在当前的市场环境中,这样做非常危险。

如果你对估值的期望过高,你将浪费大量时间去发现市场的实际定价低于你的预期,这过程中会错失很多风投机会,最终可能不得不接受更低的价格和不理想的合作伙伴。

以更低的估值回到理想的投资者那里是一个失败的策略。

95% 的风投会在你降低估值后自动拒绝,因为 1)这传达了一个信号,即其他投资者已经看过并拒绝了, 2)他们已经在寻找下一个机会。

相反,你可以设定一个比预期更低的估值,或者让市场来决定。

当你开始获得关注时,价格总是可以上涨。有趣的是,那些已经承诺的投资者会觉得支付更高的价格是值得的,因为他们“赢得”了这笔交易。

有些创始人可能会说“我会等到筹资环境更好”。

好吧,但这可能需要 6 个月、 12 关于甚至 18 个月。当你可以筹集一些资金,测试你的想法,并在不成功时继续前进时,等待并浪费时间是不值得的。

很容易关注消极面,但仍有很多理由保持乐观

1. 稳定币、去中心化基础设施(depin)和去中心化金融(defi)等领域已经走出了幻灭的低谷。这些领域都花了超过 5 年的时间才成熟。

2. 我们正处于利率下降的边缘,这将显著增加市场的流动性。比特币和以太坊的 ETF(很快可能还有 Sol 的 ETF?)准备接受新的机构资金流入。

3. 创始人开始重新考虑以高估值筹集巨额资金并启动协议是否对长期社区有益。

我知道一些知名项目正在积极地拒绝新资金,并以合理的估值启动。

3a. 这是对第 6 点的回应,也是对私人市场供需平衡的健康调整。

我希望这是一个不断增长的趋势,创始人能够认真考虑以确保项目的长期可持续性。

4. 消极情绪已经排除了所有的加密投机者,去除了杠杆,剩下的都是长期的建设者(大多可以通过邮件联系到!)。

现在正是与志同道合的人合作,并在众多优秀人才中激励自己的最佳时机。

Warsh's First Day in Office, Markets Deliver a 'Wake-up Call': Rate Hike Expected This Year

On his first day in office, newly inaugurated Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh received a stark market warning, with expectations now fully pricing in a 25-basis-point interest rate hike this year. The shift was triggered by hawkish remarks from Fed Governor Waller, who stated that inflation is now the key policy "driver" and that the odds of a hike or cut are evenly split. This sent short-term Treasury yields higher. Waller signaled a significant pivot in his stance, citing disappointing inflation and labor data. He suggested removing "easing bias" language from Fed statements and did not rule out future rate increases if inflation fails to recede, though he noted immediate action isn't warranted without signs of unanchored inflation expectations. Chairman Warsh faces immediate pressure at his first FOMC meeting in June. With the preferred inflation gauge at a three-year high, analysts warn that failing to hike could be interpreted as an implicit easing of policy. The geopolitical situation in the Middle East is adding to existing price pressures. The market's expectation for a hike contrasts sharply with earlier forecasts for multiple cuts. While long-term Treasury yields have been contained by lower energy prices recently, analysts note they remain under structural upward pressure. Warsh's swearing-in at the White House highlights political scrutiny over Fed independence. However, the market has made it clear that inflation is the most urgent challenge, leaving the new chairman little time to settle in.

Has Microsoft Lost Its Way in the AI Race, and Can Copilot Bring It Back on Track?

Microsoft, once seen as an early AI frontrunner due to its investment in OpenAI, is navigating a strategic shift amid increased competition. Its initial reliance on OpenAI’s GPT models has been complicated by OpenAI’s growing ambitions as a direct competitor, rapid advancements from rivals like Claude and Gemini, and the disruptive rise of AI agents, which challenge its traditional SaaS business model. These factors contributed to stock declines and slower-than-expected adoption of its flagship Copilot products. In response, CEO Satya Nadella has taken a hands-on role in product development, signaling the urgency of change. Microsoft is pivoting from a model-centric strategy to a "model-agnostic" enterprise platform approach. It aims to become the foundational layer connecting various AI models—from OpenAI, Anthropic, or its own new "Superintelligence" team—with enterprise workflows, data, security, and cloud services. Recent organizational changes merged consumer and enterprise Copilot teams to accelerate innovation, exemplified by new products like Copilot Tasks and Copilot Cowork. However, this transformation comes at a high cost. Microsoft faces massive capital expenditures, potentially reaching ~$190 billion by 2026, to support AI infrastructure. While its platform strategy shows early signs of traction with growing Azure AI revenue, it must balance startup-like agility with the reliability expected by enterprise clients. The core challenge is no longer being the sole AI winner but defending its position as the essential enterprise software entry point amidst rapid technological commoditization and the shift towards always-on AI agents.

Why Haven't Forex Stablecoins Taken Off?

Why FX Stablecoins Never Took Off: A Path Forward via Synthetic FX Despite the explosive growth of stablecoin-powered digital banking, which has seen ~$6B in VC investment and a 24x surge in crypto card spending in under a year, a major limitation persists: these banks are essentially dollar-only accounts. This leaves 95-99% of global accounts, which are denominated in non-USD currencies, underserved. Attempts to create native foreign currency (FX) stablecoins (like EURC) have largely failed, with total FX stablecoin TVL at ~$600M compared to $400B for USD stablecoins—a 700x gap. These FX tokens face critical challenges: fragile pegs due to low liquidity, limited exchange/FinTech acceptance, poor on/off-ramps, complex regional compliance, and a chicken-and-egg adoption problem. The article argues that the solution lies not in competing with entrenched USD stablecoin networks (USDT/USDC), but in adopting a synthetic FX model inspired by traditional finance. Specifically, it advocates for Mark-to-Market Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDFs)—cash-settled FX derivatives that allow users to maintain underlying USD stablecoin holdings while having their account balance and P&L denominated in a foreign currency. This approach offers key advantages: strong oracle-based pegs, retention of deep USD stablecoin liquidity and yield, superior on/off-ramps, scalability to any currency with a reliable feed, and capital efficiency. It mirrors how modern institutional FX markets operate. Primary use cases for on-chain NDFs include: 1. **Digital Banks/Wallets:** Enabling multi-currency accounts for international users without leaving the USD stablecoin ecosystem, boosting deposits and retention. 2. **FX Carry Trade Vaults:** Offering access to sovereign interest rate differentials (e.g., earning yield on BRL) in a more stable and scalable format than crypto-native products like Ethena. 3. **Global Enterprise Payments:** Allowing merchants to receive payments in local currency equivalents while settling in USD stablecoins, similar to services offered by Stripe for fiat. The conclusion is that synthetic FX, not native FX stablecoins, is the viable path to integrating foreign exchange into the growing stablecoin digital banking landscape, potentially unlocking the next phase of institutional DeFi and multi-trillion-dollar global adoption.
