毫无疑问,现在整个加密市场已经乱作一团。究竟是什么原因,导致了这周的加密货币集体暴跌?

加密货币的市值已从2021年11月的3万亿美元峰值降至1万亿美元以下。加密货币遭遇抛售之际,由于宏观经济阻力和美联储加息,投资者纷纷抛售风险最高的资产。周一的市场行为显示出投资者对加密货币及其支持平台的不信任。

根据CoinMarketCap的数据,在撰写本文时,比特币在过去24小时下跌约11.2%,跌至18个月以来的低点,以太坊下跌约7.7%。而相对一周前,两者分别下跌了24%和30%。

随着加密货币市场的暴跌,许多顶级NFT的地板价也随之下跌,NFT交易量激增。

毫无疑问,现在整个Web3市场已经乱作一团。究竟是什么原因,导致了这周的加密货币集体暴跌?

Celsius崩盘的传染效应

近期导致市场波动最直接的事件恐怕是Celsius Networks的危机。Celsius在去年筹集了大量风险投资,本周其代币CEL崩盘,然后停止了提款。

数周来,投资者越来越担心加密货币质押和贷款平台Celsius正处于流动性紧缩之中。Celsius为用户提供高达18.63%的存款收益率。它就像银行提供的一种产品,只不过没有任何监管保障。 去年,Celsius的CEL代币从7美元多跌至约33美分,然后在过去一周又下跌了50%以上。

与此同时,Celsius 260亿美元的客户资金自去年10月以来减少了一半以上。

Celsius 表示,“由于极端的市场条件,我们今天宣布Celsius暂停所有提款、兑换和账户之间的转账。我们今天采取这一行动是为了让Celsius更好地履行它的提款义务。”

“加密货币寒冬”前的大裁员

越来越多的加密公司通过裁员来削减成本,Peter Thiel投资的创业公司BlockFi也加入了这一行列。

周一,BlockFi宣布将裁员约20%。在此次裁员之前,该公司的员工数量从2020年底的150人增加到了850多人。

BlockFi首席执行官Zac Prince在推特上表示,BlockFi受到了“宏观经济状况的急剧变化”的影响,这对增长产生了“负面影响”。

在加密领域,裁员似乎已经是家常便饭。

上周晚些时候,Crypto.com宣布裁员260人,而就在7个月前,该公司刚刚斥资7亿美元获得了NBA洛杉矶湖人队主场球场的冠名权。

本月早些时候,Gemini表示将裁员10%,并警告称,该行业正处于被称为“加密货币寒冬”的“收缩期”。

CME Launches Single-Stock Futures on Over 50 Leading U.S. Companies, and Its Cryptocurrency Derivatives Division Continues to Grow

CME Group has launched futures contracts on individual stocks of more than 50 leading U.S. companies, marking a significant expansion of its equity derivatives offerings. A total of 77 contracts are now available, comprising 55 standard-sized futures (each representing 100 shares) and 22 micro-sized contracts (each for 10 shares). The lineup includes mega-cap tech firms like Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla, recently public SpaceX, as well as major names such as Micron, Pfizer, and Walmart. These cash-settled contracts feature a quarterly expiration cycle, similar to CME's existing equity index futures. Tim McCourt, CME's Global Head of Equities, FX, and Alternative Products, stated the launch responds to client demand for more precise single-stock risk management and the capital efficiency benefits of a centralized marketplace. He noted the products aim to broaden CME's client base beyond traditional institutional investors, with the group partnering with over 35 retail brokers for distribution. Trading will occur nearly 23 hours a day, five days a week on CME Globex, far exceeding standard U.S. equity trading hours. While this allows traders to react to news around the clock, officials warn of potential liquidity risks and volatility during overnight sessions, echoing concerns seen in CME's 24/7 crypto markets. Notably, the new contracts, which exclude any crypto tokens, leverage the cash-settled, margined infrastructure CME has honed through its cryptocurrency derivatives business. That division continues to grow; CME launched round-the-clock Bitcoin and Ether futures and options in late May 2024 and has since added futures on crypto indices tracking Bitcoin, Solana, and XRP, with Bitcoin volatility futures planned. However, activity in CME's core Bitcoin futures has cooled from recent peaks, with open interest hitting a 14-month low in April amid reduced yields and trading volumes.

Zcash Developers Recommend Upgrading Nodes to Ironwood Fork

The Zcash Foundation has released Zebra 6.0.0 and recommends all node operators upgrade to the Ironwood fork. This update introduces a new shielded pool and version 6 transaction format. The change was prompted by a vulnerability discovered in the old Orchard pool that could have allowed an attacker to create counterfeit $ZEC undetected. Developers patched the vulnerability in June, finding no evidence of exploitation, though Zcash's privacy architecture prevents absolute certainty. Ironwood utilizes the Orchard action structure and Halo2 proof system. It adds a separate note commitment tree, a nullifier set, a network value pool, and network history data. After activation, nodes can track the new pool independently from Orchard. Zebra also updates node commands for operators to verify pool and commitment tree states. This upgrade is critical, as older software will not follow the correct chain post-activation. Ironwood's key protection mechanism is a "turnstile" between the Orchard and new pools. Once activated, Orchard will stop accepting new outputs and internal transfers. Funds can be withdrawn, but an accounting rule prevents withdrawing more $ZEC from Orchard than was legitimately deposited. This design allows public auditing of the circulating supply without revealing private balances or transaction details, with any excess capital becoming locked inside Orchard. Zcash had scheduled this hardfork for July 28 after developers confirmed the patched bug raised inflation concerns.

Journalists Point to a Shift of Crypto-Treasury Companies Towards AI

At least a dozen companies previously focused on acquiring digital assets for their treasuries have pivoted toward AI-related businesses in recent months, according to a Bloomberg report. This strategic shift, however, has failed to revive investor interest. The stocks of these US and Canadian data-asset treasury (DAT) firms have fallen a median 43% year-to-date, with many trading below their net asset value as management teams exit. Examples of this transformation include K Wave Media Ltd., which switched from accumulating Bitcoin to developing data centers, seeing its shares drop 71% since its May relaunch. Lixte Biotechnology Holdings Inc. and AlphaTON Capital (rebranded as Alpha Compute) also saw significant declines after strategic shifts. Analysts link the sector's weakness directly to the poor performance of the digital assets themselves. Legal experts note the term "crypto treasury" has become a "dirty word" for investors. The pivot to AI is seen as a logical move to attract the large capital flowing into tech infrastructure, driven by spending from giants like Alphabet and Microsoft and startups like OpenAI. While attempts to capitalize on the AI boom extend beyond crypto—exemplified by shoe maker Allbirds rebranding as Smartbird—bitcoin miners like CoreWeave, Hut 8, Iren, and TeraWulf have seen more success by repurposing their data centers for high-performance computing. Investors remain interested in other blockchain applications but have largely abandoned the current digital treasury model. Notably, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has criticized this pivot toward AI as a mistake for crypto projects.
