比特币风投实验室SATX Labs宣布启动一期基金:共同推动比特币生态创新

自 2009 年 1 月 3 日创世区块诞生以来, 15 年间比特币在加密行业中一直占据着主导地位,其最大的优势是围绕比特币诞生了一整套鼓励创新包容且开放的行业产业链。

从底层运行全节点的矿场,到比特币背后云集的全球顶级风投机构,再到比特币上层汇聚了全球最有创造力的开放金融团队和人才,为什么在 15 年前在创世区块里永久记录下当天的《泰晤士报》头版标题“The Times 03/JAN/2009 ,Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks”的比特币能成为世界前十大资产,其衍生的如以太坊等加密货币能真正获得传统金融界的高度关注?

随着 2021 年 5 月 19 日矿场算力大清退,美国开始在各方面加速吸纳比特币相关资源, 21 年加密货币交易所 Coinbase 在纳斯达克挂牌上市;同年 10 月底美国 SEC 通过了比特币期货 ETF。毕业于顶尖高校 HYPSM 的高材生越来越多地涌入到加密行业,顶级资本在投资北美领先的加密企业,顶级项目在全球市场一步步蚕食比特币市场份额……目前比特币的发展有些停滞不前,链上无法吸纳超大体量资金,随着价格增加区块拥堵导致生态交易量小,交易磨损大,比特币生态的开发时不我待,未来将是比特币与各个公链的常态化竞争。

更严峻的问题是,如果一位比特币生态创业者,尤其是华人创业者,希望为浮躁的行业带来一些真正的技术革新的创业者,他可能遇到的问题包括但不限于:投资机构更青睐新兴公链及其链上项目因为可以讲出更吸引资本的故事,比特币的故事对于资本和 LP 来说有些老套,海外资源有限招人获客难度累加,没有任何可以得到的“政策支持”。这对于在海外创业的华人创业者来说更是难上加难。

有多少投资机构和投资人敢投且能投怀揣原教旨比特币最大主义的创业者?首先,出海的华人创业者很难获得北美的资源支持,如果连拥有完整比特币上下游产业链的华人投资机构和投资者也不支持,那么华人在比特币生态的话语权将很难在与新兴公链各大资本的博弈中脱颖而出。

目前在比特币上诞生的项目多属于对以太坊已采用技术的模仿抄袭,而模仿抄袭永远只能追赶,科技和技术创新才有机会超越,科技创新的根源是企业家和人才,华人创业者在比特币生态中有得天独厚的优势。甚至未来一个比特币项目需要有华人企业家作为核心才有机会让比特币生态迸发生机与活力。

在比特币正式运行 15 年后及第四次减半来临之际,SATX Labs 正式启动,诚邀项目创始人、算力从业者、比特币社区、媒体代表、开发者社区以及其他对比特币生态持积极态度的个人作为合作伙伴加入

目前,SATX Labs 一期基金的出资人包括头部顶级美元基金、北美上市公司、头部算力企业、比特币 OG 等行业上游机构及个人。基金的战略重心为比特币二层协议及生态资产投资,以保证比特币主网安全性,建设更加繁荣的比特币二层生态系统。

创业项目加入 SATX Labs 将获得:

顶级风投资金支持:SATX Labs 将设立一支比特币生态专项基金,为项目提供早期融资,加速项目发展。

全方位的创新和技术服务:SATX Labs 将为合格项目提供一站式支持,帮助项目完成从 0 至 1 的产品研发,加速项目发展。

定期邀请行业专家:SATX Labs 拟定期邀请包括比特币核心开发者、项目创始人和来自投资机构的合作伙伴在内的行业专家进行闭门讨论,提供专业指导,加速项目发展。

与比特币生态 OG 建立合作:合格项目将有机会与比特币生态 OG 建立合作,帮助项目团队找到合适的合作伙伴和开发者,搭建有活力的团队。

同时,SATX Labs 欢迎有长期合作意向的投资人的加入。

作为未来计划中的一部分,SATX Labs 每年将组织两期基金,为新项目提供加速和孵化支持,并举办沉浸式创业 Hacker House 活动,帮助创始人解决现实商业挑战。此外,参与 SATX Labs 活动系列的参与者将从各类投资机构、项目创始人、加密社区、大学区块链俱乐部、全球 KOL 和开发者社区获得大量支持,所有这些都将有助于项目的更好推广和曝光以及共同推动比特币生态的发展。

同时作为一家聚焦比特币生态早期项目发掘和投资的实验室,SATX Labs 始终坚信比特币生态是未来 15 年内最有可能改变世界的产业之一,诚邀来自世界各地的比特币生态建设者加入并共同建设比特币生态的未来,为比特币生态的繁荣共同贡献力量。

DAT Companies Take on Side Businesses

The article details the strategic shifts of Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies amid a prolonged market downturn. Initially popularized by firms like MicroStrategy, the DAT model—where companies hold cryptocurrencies on their balance sheets—has faced significant pressure as crypto ETFs eroded their investment thesis and bear markets strained finances. Key players are adapting in several ways. Some, like ETHzilla, have abandoned the model entirely. Others are pivoting towards becoming active, revenue-generating participants in the crypto ecosystem rather than passive holders. This evolution is taking two main paths: 1. **Transformation into Institutional Crypto Asset Managers:** Companies like SharpLink Gaming and GameSquare are leveraging their holdings to generate yield, moving beyond simple storage. They employ strategies like 100% ETH staking or using machine learning to optimize DeFi yields, positioning themselves as platforms offering institutional-grade crypto yield products. 2. **Becoming Blockchain Infrastructure Operators:** This is prominent in the Solana ecosystem. Firms like DeFi Development and SOL Strategies are acquiring validator businesses, issuing liquid staking tokens (e.g., dfdvSOL, fwdSOL), and integrating them into DeFi protocols. They generate fee-based revenue from these operations, building network effects. The article notes that successful转型 hinges on building operational expertise and defensible business models around crypto assets, such as technical advantages or deep ecosystem integration. However, these new paths carry risks like smart contract vulnerabilities or ecosystem dependence. Ultimately, this collective shift signals a maturation phase for the DAT movement. It highlights that in crypto, sustainable value is increasingly tied to active participation, cash flow generation, and providing real utility, rather than speculative capital allocation alone.

The Fate of Digital Banks: A Fancy App Can't Match a Banking License

**Title:** The Fate of Digital Banks: A Fancy App is No Match for a Banking License **Summary:** The article argues that digital-only "neobanks" have struggled to achieve profitability, with 76% still operating at a loss. Their core mistake was focusing on offering low-fee checking accounts, which generate minimal revenue from interchange fees. The fundamental profit engine of banking is **credit**—lending money and earning interest—a business largely restricted to licensed entities. Successful neobanks like **Nubank** and **Revolut** only became profitable by pivoting to become full-scale lenders, using their sleek apps as mere customer acquisition tools. Others, like **Chime**, suffered for years relying solely on transaction fees before embracing lending. The piece highlights the systemic risks of depending on third-party infrastructure, exemplified by the **Synapse** bankruptcy which froze millions in user funds. The only reliable safeguard is a **banking license**, which provides direct regulatory oversight and control over assets. This realization is now dawning in the cryptocurrency sector. Major firms like Paxos, Circle, and Crypto.com are actively seeking **national trust charters** from the OCC to legitimize their operations and escape dependency on traditional banking partners. Companies like **SoFi** have completed the evolution from fintech to licensed bank to stablecoin issuer. While DeFi has grown in secured lending, **unsecured lending** remains minuscule due to the lack of real-world identity and legal recourse for defaults on blockchain. Truly scaling credit likely requires a banking license. The conclusion is stark: despite promises of disruption, surviving digital banks have simply replicated the age-old banking model—profiting from interest on loans. A user-friendly interface changes the experience, but not the essential economics. In the end, a banking license is not an option but a necessity for sustainable operation.

A Country That Has Been Mining Bitcoin for 8 Years Establishes Its Own Dedicated Crypto Bank

Bhutan, a small Himalayan nation known for prioritizing Gross National Happiness over GDP, has established a dedicated crypto bank after eight years of Bitcoin mining. The DK Bank, located in the Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) Special Administrative Region, aims to fill the persistent banking gap for the crypto industry. Unlike traditional banks that often reject crypto firms or only handle their fiat transactions, DK Bank offers integrated multi-currency accounts where users can manage both fiat currencies and stablecoins like USDT and USDC, alongside services such as Bitcoin-backed loans. The bank operates under a unique "one country, two systems" governance model in GMC, which is designed to become a financial hub for South Asia. Its regulatory framework is modeled on Singapore's common law and Abu Dhabi Global Market's (ADGM) rules, offering a fast-track licensing process for firms already licensed in those jurisdictions. DK Bank and GMC authorities emphasize stringent, real-time on-chain and off-chain transaction monitoring to mitigate risks associated with anonymity in crypto. This move is part of Bhutan's longer-term strategic pivot toward institutional crypto services—including mining, custody, and asset management—rather than retail-focused speculative tokens. Officials stress diversification within the blockchain ecosystem to hedge against volatility in assets like Bitcoin. The development of supporting infrastructure, including an international airport managed by Singapore's Changi operator, is ongoing, with completion targeted for 2029. The initiative represents Bhutan's attempt to position itself at the forefront of the shift of global financial services on-chain, leveraging its early experience and a stated ethos of orderly and mindful progress.

Market Trends in US Stocks (June 18): Walsh's Pivot Ignites Broad Sell-Off, SpaceX Suffers First Drop, Semiconductors Sole Safe Haven

**U.S. Market Trends (June 18): Wash Sparks Full-Scale Sell-off; SpaceX's First Drop, Semiconductors the Only Safe Haven** Markets plunged after the June FOMC meeting. The "dot plot" revealed a hawkish shift, with half the officials projecting at least one rate hike in 2024. New Fed Chair Wash, in his press conference, announced the abandonment of forward guidance, stating he "can't tell you what the next step will be." This policy uncertainty triggered a broad sell-off. All major indices fell over 1%, with the S&P 500 down 1.21%. The VIX volatility index jumped 12%. Treasury yields spiked, and the dollar surged to a two-month high, while gold erased its weekly gains. The sell-off was led by rate-sensitive sectors. Meta plunged over 5%, leading the Magnificent 7 lower. SpaceX closed down ~5%, marking its first decline since its IPO, as valuation pressure from higher rate expectations took hold. The sole market bright spot was semiconductors. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 1.38%, with Applied Materials, Lam Research, and Arm Holdings all posting significant gains. The narrative held that long-term AI computing demand remains intact, driving a rotation of funds from high-valuation software/internet stocks into infrastructure and equipment names. Retail sales data came in strong, and EIA crude inventories fell sharply, supporting the view of persistent inflation and limiting the Fed's scope for easing. Traders fully priced in a rate hike by October, with September seen as likely. In summary, Chair Wash's debut dismantled the market's traditional policy anchors, injecting new uncertainty. While the AI investment thesis provided pockets of resilience in semiconductors, the repricing of rate-sensitive, high-valuation technology stocks appears to have just begun under the new "hawkish reset" framework.
