对加密货币游戏的怀疑是当前 NFT 发展的主要障碍。

原文作者:Hannah Miller

原文编译:Luffy,Foresight News

NFT 曾经从数字浪潮的先锋跌落为加密货币泡沫破裂时期的笑话,如今它突然以一种让人意想不到的方式卷土重来。

2022 年,当加密货币泡沫在一系列丑闻事件之后破裂时,市场上没有哪个角落比 NFT 经历过更多的痛苦。CryptoSlam 数据显示,去年全球 NFT 销售额暴跌 63% 至 87 亿美元,许多资产几乎变得一文不值。

那些豪掷千金购买最热门 NFT 的人被嘲笑为傻瓜,一些投资者甚至起诉名人 NFT 推广者,声称他们被骗了。现在,随着现货 ETF 的推出,比特币出现了猛烈的反弹,NFT 行业正在寻找方法来翻开新的一页,并在数字宇宙的角落重新点燃热情之火。

初创公司正在游戏、金融和艺术领域的复兴 NFT 应用,他们声称从过去吸取了惨痛的教训,这将使他们最新的尝试更加经久不衰。他们希望这些 NFT 不仅仅被视为只属于富人和名人的昂贵的个人资料图片。

根据 CryptoSlam 的数据,去年 11 月份 NFT 销售额比上个月增长了近两倍,达到 9.18 亿美元,然后在 12 月份超过了 17 亿美元。然而,今年 1 月份的交易量下降了 33% 至 12 亿美元,这表明 NFT 复苏的情况可能很复杂。对区块链游戏的怀疑、围绕金融化 NFT 的未知领域,以及对 NFT 艺术能否重回天价销量的质疑,都给陷入困境的市场带来了挑战。

NFT 初创公司 Pudgy Penguins 的首席执行官 Luca Netz 表示:「我认为,这种对排他性的渴望是一个巨大的错误。」 「人们真正想要的是粉丝,他们想要收藏性。」

游戏

据 Netz 称,行业波动是 Pudgy Penguins 开发玩具系列的部分原因,其灵感来自于其流行的 NFT 系列中的胖乎乎的卡通鸟。 Pudgy Toys 在 7 个月内售出 75 万件,销售额达到 1, 000 万美元。

「我们需要创造真正的收入来源,它不受我们无法控制的变量的影响,」Netz 说。

每个玩具都有一个二维码,可以带主人进入 Pudgy World 在线游戏,该游戏仍在推出中。 Netz 表示,他希望在未来 12 到 18 个月内发布游戏的完整版本。这些玩具将包含 NFT 特征,例如玩家企鹅头像的服装可以在 Pudgy World 内出售。

与 Pudgy Penguins 一样, Bored Ape Yacht Club 的创建者 Yuga Labs 希望利用其仍然流行的 PFP NFT 在游戏领域的取得成功。在加密货币牛市期间,Yuga 以 40 亿美元的估值筹集了大量资金,并开始了一个有争议的代币项目、与阿迪达斯 AG 的合作以及目前暂停的短片三部曲。Yuga 前首席执行官 Daniel Alegre 在辞职前接受彭博社采访时表示,公司有太多的事情要做。

Yuga 专注于开发受 BAYC 启发的 Otherside 游戏,该游戏在其同名数字元宇宙与虚拟土地相关的 NFT 销售中铩羽而归,观众对其预告片的评价褒贬不一。 Alegre 拒绝透露《Otherside》的正式发布日期,该游戏原定于去年推出。 「我们在时间上有些紧迫,」他说。

Yuga 联合创始人 Greg Solano 重新担任首席执行官时在 X 上发帖称:「Otherside 是一次巨大的转变。」 「我们还有很多工作要做。」

随着 Yuga 和 Pudgy Penguins 更努力地将 NFT 推向游戏领域,游戏领域取得了不同程度的成功。最知名的区块链游戏之一《Axie Infinity》因 2022 年黑客攻击损失 6 亿美元且游戏玩法不佳而受到批评。

Zollpa 首席执行官 Aaron Jacobson 表示,许多 NFT 项目的错误在于专注于赚钱而不是创造有趣的游戏。

「这不是一个可持续的模式,你进行首次代币发行或 NFT 铸币,并要求所有玩家在游戏发布之前预先花费大量资金,」他说。

Zollpa 于 11 月推出了一款名为 RoboSquad Revolution 的射击游戏的公开测试版。

金融与艺术

一些初创公司正在寻求在金融领域使用 NFT。 P2P 借贷平台 NFTfi 首席执行官 Stephen Young 表示,BAYC 和 Pudgy Penguins 等收藏品的受欢迎程度使它们成为良好的贷款抵押品。 「顶级蓝筹 PFP 的交易量仍然很大,」他表示。

自 2020 年推出以来,NFTfi 已达成了超过 56, 000 笔贷款,价值约 5 亿美元。Young 表示,贷款人决定他们想要贷款的金额并设定利率。

Framework Ventures 联合创始人 Michael Anderson 表示,他看到了 NFT 的其他金融用途,并指出越来越多的公司正在引入代表现实世界资产的代币,例如债券、商品或房地产。

「即使我们谈论的是国债之类的东西,它也有不同的期限、不同的收益率、不同的价格,因此定制信息需要存储在本质上不可替代的东西上,」他说。

但 NFT,包括那些与金融相关的 NFT,可能会受到监管审查。

艺术 NFT 在 2021 年的销售额,比如艺术家 Beeple 价值 6900 万美元的数字作品,目前是 Nansen 创建的一组 NFT 指数中表现最好的类别。这些指数跟踪不同类型 NFT 的市场表现,其中社交类别包括 PFP NFT。

苏富比拍卖行数字艺术主管 Michael Bouhanna 表示,该拍卖行自 2021 年以来一直在销售 NFT,并持续看到人们对这些代币的兴趣。

「有些艺术家有更多的技术背景,对他们来说,在创作过程中使用区块链技术或一些生成艺术程序是非常自然的,」他说。

苏富比去年的 NFT 和数字艺术品销售额超过 3000 万美元,较 2022 年增长 50% ,但仍不及 2021 年 Beeple NFT 销售额的一半。一月份,苏富比拍卖行 Ordinals 的销售额为 160 万美元,Ordinals 是一种比特币区块链上类似 NFT 的东西。而破产的加密对冲基金 Three Arrows Capital 收藏的数字艺术品的销售额也超过 100 万美元。

人们担心加密货币与丑闻、犯罪的联系可能会阻碍其进一步增长,这一点打破了围绕 NFT 的乐观情绪。

Zollpa 的 Jacobson 表示:「他们听到 Web3 或 NFT 这个词,就会立即避开这款游戏,并认为这是一个骗局。」

Critical Game Week: BTC Retracement Confirmation vs. HYPE Support Battle | Guest Analysis

This weekly analysis outlines a critical juncture for BTC and HYPE markets, focusing on key price level confirmations. **BTC Analysis:** BTC is at a pivotal point after a five-wave rally from the June 5th low of $59,100. The price has broken below a short-term rising channel's lower boundary, with the current move seen as a pullback to test this breakdown. Failure to reclaim this level could lead to a retest of the $59,000-$60,000 support zone. The core scenario hinges on this channel retest outcome. * **Key Levels:** Resistance at $64,500-$65,000 (channel boundary) and $69,500-$70,500. Support at $59,000-$60,000 and $55,000. * **Strategy:** A core bearish stance is maintained (20% short from last week), with short-term plans for tactical trades. Three detailed contingency plans (A/B/C) are provided for short positions on resistance tests or breakdowns, emphasizing strict stop-loss discipline. **HYPE Analysis:** HYPE shows strong momentum but is currently in a corrective phase after hitting a new high of $76.94. The price is retesting the crucial $64-$66 support area. * **Key Levels:** Resistance near $77 and $80-$82. Support at $64-$66 and $52-$54. * **Strategy:** The short-term approach is "buy on dips, avoid chasing rallies." A long position is considered only if clear stabilization signals appear at the $64-$66 or deeper $52-$54 support zones, with tight risk controls. **General Risk Management:** A standardized trailing stop-loss protocol is emphasized: set initial stop, breakeven at +1% profit, then trail stops upward to lock in gains. *Disclaimer: All analysis is presented as a personal trading framework, not investment advice. Market conditions are complex and require dynamic adjustment.*

Research Report Interpretation: Citi Attends AWS Summit, Bullish on Cloud Business Acceleration but Data Governance Remains Key Variable

Citi analyst Tyler Radke's team attended the AWS New York Summit (June 17-18), engaging with over 10 clients and partners. In a June 19 report, they highlighted the summit's focus on scaling agent AI for enterprise deployment. Citi maintains a "Buy" rating on Amazon, forecasting AWS revenue growth to accelerate to 37% in FY27 from 30% in FY26, noting this estimate may be conservative. Key takeaways: 1. **AWS Strategy Shift:** AWS is moving from proof-of-concepts to scalable deployment. New offerings like AWS Context (building enterprise knowledge graphs), Amazon Quick (cross-application AI assistant), and security tool Continuum address core enterprise pain points for AI adoption. 2. **Data Infrastructure Beneficiaries:** Data infrastructure companies like Snowflake, Elastic, Oracle, and ClickHouse are seen as direct beneficiaries of scaling AI workloads, as evidenced by strong growth and use cases presented. 3. **Critical Role of Data Governance:** As AI agents scale from hundreds to thousands, effective data governance becomes the key variable for deploying AI in core business processes. AWS Context represents AWS's strategic extension from providing compute/models to offering a data governance infrastructure layer. The report emphasizes that without solving data governance, AI will remain confined to pilot projects. The investment thesis focuses on AWS revenue acceleration and data infrastructure vendors' growth, while monitoring signals like AWS's quarterly revenue growth, Bedrock AgentCore task volume, and pricing impacts on companies like Elastic.

Crucial Week of Contention: BTC Tests Support and HYPE's Key Level Battle | Special Analysis

**Market Enters Critical Week: Bitcoin Pullback Test and HYPE Support Battle** The market enters a crucial phase of contention this week. The marginal shifts in Federal Reserve policy expectations continue to dictate the pricing rhythm for risk assets. Meanwhile, in the crypto market, following a period of sideways consolidation, the divergence between bulls and bears is becoming concentrated at key price levels. **Bitcoin (BTC) Analysis & Strategy** * **Technical View:** The 4-hour chart suggests BTC is in a five-wave structure since the June 5th low near $59,100. Price action shows a short-term rising channel. The recent drop below this channel's lower boundary is now being followed by a pullback attempt (wave 40-41). The outcome of this retest is critical. * **This Week's Outlook:** The core focus is whether BTC can reclaim and hold above the channel's lower boundary. * **Bullish Scenario:** A successful hold could lead to a continued rebound, potentially challenging the $69,500 - $70,500 resistance zone. * **Bearish Scenario:** Failure to hold may trigger a renewed test of the $59,000 - $60,000 core support area, with $55,000 as a deeper support level. * **Operational Strategy:** The author maintains a 20% mid-term short position initiated last week near $64,500, based on a model signaling a shift to a bearish structure. Short-term tactics involve using 30% capital for potential "spread" trades, with three contingency plans (A, B, C) outlined for reacting to resistance tests, breakouts, or support breakdowns. **HYPE Analysis & Strategy** * **Technical View:** On the 4-hour chart, HYPE shows strong momentum, having recently broken to a new high since January. The current pullback presents a clear three-wave correction structure, bringing the price back to the critical $64 - $66 support zone. * **This Week's Outlook:** The focus is on the battle for the $64 - $66 support area. * **Bullish Scenario:** Holding this support could signal a continuation of the uptrend from the June 10th low, leading to new highs. * **Bearish Scenario:** A breakdown could extend the correction, potentially testing the deeper $52 - $54 support band. * **Operational Strategy:** The recommended short-term approach is "buy on dips, avoid chasing rallies." A light long position (under 30% capital) could be considered if HYPE shows stabilization signals at the $64-$66 or $52-$54 support zones, confirmed by model signals. Strict stop-loss discipline is emphasized. **General Risk Management:** A strict trailing stop-loss protocol is advised: set an initial stop; move to breakeven at +1% profit; lock in profits progressively thereafter. *Disclaimer: All analysis is presented as the author's personal technical perspective and trading log, not as investment advice. Markets are complex and dynamic; risk control is paramount.*

AI Agents Also Need 'Credit Checks': ERC-8126 is Filling the Gap in On-chain Trust

The article discusses ERC-8126, a proposed standard designed to address the lack of trust and verification for AI Agents operating on-chain. While ERC-8004 provides AI Agents with a basic on-chain identity (answering "Who are you?"), it does not guarantee trustworthiness. ERC-8126 aims to fill this gap by establishing a verification layer (answering "Are you reliable?"). It standardizes how independent verification providers can assess an agent's associated risks across five key areas: Token/Contract Verification (ETV), Media Content Verification (MCV), Solidity Code Verification (SCV), Web Application Verification (WAV), and Wallet Verification (WV). These providers generate a standardized risk score (0-100) and proofs based on their checks, without acting as a single authoritative certifier. This allows wallets, marketplaces, dApps, and other agents to consume these risk signals—for example, to display warnings, filter listings, or make interaction decisions. The standard also incorporates concepts like Private Data Verification (PDV) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) to allow verification without exposing sensitive underlying data. Positioned alongside ERC-8004 (Identity) and ERC-8183 (Commerce for agents), ERC-8126 represents a step toward building a verifiable and accountable infrastructure for the emerging on-chain AI Agent economy, shifting trust assessment from purely user-based judgment to standardized, consumable signals.

Rented Conviction: How Much Real Money Is Behind the Bitcoin ETF Flows

Borrowed Belief: How much of Bitcoin ETF flows are real money? Weekly Bitcoin ETF flows, often interpreted as a measure of institutional conviction, are heavily influenced by a hidden arbitrage trade rather than genuine directional buying. A cash-and-carry arbitrage, where traders buy the ETF while simultaneously shorting Bitcoin futures on the CME to lock in a basis spread (the price difference between futures and spot), drives roughly half of the week-to-week flow volatility. This delta-neutral activity appears as ETF inflows but is unrelated to price views. Data shows a strong correlation (0.70) between weekly ETF inflows and increases in hedge fund short positions on CME futures, while Bitcoin’s weekly price returns have almost no explanatory power. However, this arbitrage activity dominates short-term *fluctuations*, not the cumulative *stock* of investments. Of the total ~$55 billion in net ETF inflows since launch, only about $1 billion currently represents net arbitrage exposure. The vast majority consists of steady, directional buying averaging around $400 million per week. The arbitrage trade has been unwinding for two years, with hedge fund short positions peaking near $14 billion in late 2024 and declining to ~$4.5 billion. Recent ETF outflows partly reflect this ongoing unwind as the basis compresses, not a loss of faith in Bitcoin. Thus, ETF flows overstate the *volatility* of belief, not its *level*. The headline number is more a gauge of arbitrage desk activity than conviction. For accurate interpretation, monitor the CME basis relative to Treasury yields and hedge fund net shorts—these reveal how much of the reported “demand” is truly directional.
