大肆吸金!贝莱德旗下比特币现货ETF规模已超百亿,耗时不到两个月

比特币现货ETF自上市以来大受欢迎,助长了一股市场狂热,并将这种加密货币的价格一度推近历史高点。

自1月11日推出以来,投资者以历史性的速度涌入这些基金,市场上10只美国比特币现货ETF的总资产规模膨胀至近500亿美元。

贝莱德旗下的iShares比特币信托上周四的资产规模超过100亿美元,是有史以来最快达到这一里程碑的新ETF。富达的基金目前拥有超过60亿美元的资产,已经是这家资产管理公司的第三大ETF,占今年ETF净流入的大部分。

VettaFi研究主管Todd Rosenbluth表示:

“这是一波持续的需求浪潮。这些产品一上市就很强劲,而且一直保持强劲。”

这些基金允许日常投资者通过他们直接投资数字资产,而不必去加密货币交易所或通过期货合约对比特币进行投资。

一些分析师预计,这些资金最初的巨大投入将随后放缓,但随着比特币价格接近创纪录水平,近几周资金流入的速度反而加快了。

周一下午,比特币交易价格超过6.7万美元,略低于2021年11月创下的68990.90美元的纪录。截至2023年,比特币才接近4万美元,一年前在2.3万美元左右徘徊。

许多分析师将比特币在去年下半年的上涨归因于对比特币现货ETF将获得批准的预期。他们说,现在投资者对基金的追捧除了创造新的需求外,还推动了更多的看涨情绪。Rosenbluth补充道,“这是基础资产价格与基金挂钩的罕见情况之一,比特币的表现很难量化,但它的表现与人们对其可用性提高的希望息息相关。这是一个循环的好处。”

市场需求还能增加?

贝莱德旗下的这只比特币现货ETF已超越了许多其他ETF,数据显示,在美国上市的3000多只ETF中,资产规模超过100亿美元的只有约4%。

今年1月,有9只比特币基金是新上市的,而灰度的比特币信托在其他基金推出的当天就转换成了一只拥有近300亿美元现有资产的ETF,即GBTC。

自那以来,投资者已从该基金撤资逾80亿美元,因其收取的费用远高于竞争对手。如果GBTC的平均资产保持在目前水平附近,1.5%的年费将为这家资产管理公司带来约4亿美元的年收入。

贝莱德在所谓的“促销期”结束后仅收取0.25%的费用,而大多数规模较小的资产管理公司收取的费用甚至更低。

当然,并非所有资产管理公司都认为这些产品适合个人投资者。先锋集团曾表示,不打算提供一个比特币ETF,不会在其经纪业务平台提供投资加密货币的渠道。这家资产管理巨头在最近的一篇博客文章中称比特币“更像是一种投机,而不是一种投资”。

注册投资顾问在引导资金流向ETF方面具有巨大影响力,但他们目前接触比特币现货ETF基金的机会有限。摩根士丹利、美银美林、瑞银和富国银行的财富管理平台以非请求方式提供比特币基金,即顾问不能主动向客户推销比特币基金,但可以为提出要求的客户购买比特币现货ETF。

如果这种情况发生变化,分析师预计会有更多资金流入比特币现货ETF。CFRA Research ETF数据和分析主管Aniket Ullal表示:

“顾问平台一直没有涉足这一资产类别,现在这种情况可能会改变,我们预计需求会增加。”

市场对比特币ETF的“适应程度”令人惊讶

在吸纳新资金方面,一些新的比特币基金正与其他资产类别的行业重量级基金展开正面交锋。贝莱德的比特币现货ETF 2月份在美国ETF“吸金榜”排名第三,以微弱优势超过标普500指数ETF。

富达的比特币现货ETF排名第八,2月份最受欢迎的基金是先锋集团旗下的标普500指数基金及其信息技术基金。

目前还缺乏有关谁在购买这些基金的数据。在大型投资者在季度披露中报告其基金持仓情况后,华尔街将了解更多情况。

不过,近期比特币现货ETF的交易活动最近有所加速。据外媒称,上周三约有80亿美元的交易量,是迄今为止成交量最大的一天。

投资者接受这些新基金的速度令人惊讶。这是一种非常不寻常的情况,”Ullal表示。他表示,ETF通常需要更长的时间来吸引资产,因为它们需要等待不同的顾问平台将它们上市。

Fed Turns Hawkish, Wall Street Capitulates, Citi Stands as 'Last Holdout': Insists on Resuming Rate Cuts in October

Amid a surprisingly hawkish shift from the Fed and most of Wall Street capitulating on rate cut expectations, Citigroup stands as a notable outlier, holding firm to its forecast for monetary easing to restart this October. Following the June FOMC meeting, where the "dovish bias" was removed and the dot plot shifted dramatically, markets priced in nearly 37bps of tightening for 2026. Major banks like Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs revised their calls, predicting rate hikes as soon as September. Citigroup, however, maintains a baseline scenario for a 25bps rate cut in October, followed by two more cuts in December and January 2027. Its counter-consensus view rests on three key arguments: 1) Plunging oil prices are eliminating a major inflation upside risk. 2) Rising initial jobless claims are mirroring seasonal weakening patterns seen in 2024-2025, signaling a labor market cool-down. 3) The strong core PCE is an "outlier," heavily influenced by AI-related prices and equity market gains rather than broad consumer price pressures, with other inflation metrics showing more moderation. While Wall Street largely "surrenders" to the hawkish Fed narrative, with Deutsche Bank forecasting two hikes and Goldman Sachs warning of potential back-to-back moves, Citigroup remains the "last holdout," betting that disinflationary forces will pave the way for cuts before year-end.

Open Systems Will Ultimately Prevail: Why Ethereum Is the Next Linux?

The article "Open Systems Will Ultimately Prevail: Why Ethereum Is the Next Linux?" argues that Ethereum, like Linux before it, will triumph over closed, proprietary systems in finance due to its open, permissionless, and credibly neutral nature. It draws a historical parallel: just as the open internet defeated corporate private networks and Linux outcompeted proprietary Unix systems, open financial infrastructure like Ethereum will surpass private blockchains. The core advantage lies in the "bazaar" development model (as described in Eric Raymond's "The Cathedral and the Bazaar"), where decentralized, permissionless innovation by a global community of developers outpaces the controlled "cathedral" approach of centralized entities. This model fosters rapid innovation, as seen with Ethereum standards like ERC-20 and applications like Uniswap, which were built without needing permission. Ethereum's key, irreplicable strength is its credible neutrality: transparent, equally applicable, immutable rules that allow anyone to participate. This ensures sovereign independence, meaning no single entity (company, government) can control or change its core rules—a critical feature for global financial infrastructure. In contrast, private blockchains and consortium chains (like SWIFT or various bank-led projects) suffer from platform risk, central control, and an inability to attract broad developer ecosystems, leading to frequent failures. The article notes that major institutions (e.g., BlackRock, JPMorgan, Coinbase, Robinhood) are already building on Ethereum or its Layer 2 networks, recognizing its security, developer ecosystem, and network effects. While critics argue finance requires accountable, controlled systems, the response is that compliance (KYC, regulations) can be built at the application layer on top of a neutral settlement layer like Ethereum, just as secure commerce was built on the open internet via HTTPS. Ultimately, the thesis is that attempting to build walled-garden, proprietary financial networks is a flawed strategy that stifles innovation. The winning approach is to build applications on top of open, credibly neutral infrastructure like Ethereum, which is poised to become the foundational settlement layer for global finance.

The Computing Power Dilemma in the Sino-US AI Rivalry

The Sino-US AI rivalry faces a fundamental bottleneck: the widening compute power gap. While Chinese AI chip companies have seen investment surges, their current focus remains largely on the less demanding inference market. The real challenge lies in the high-end training chip sector, crucial for developing cutting-edge large language models (LLMs), where Nvidia holds a near-monopoly. The compute disparity is stark. US tech giants like Meta, Google, and xAI command massive GPU clusters, enabling them to train trillion-parameter models rapidly. Estimates suggest US data center count and total compute capacity significantly outstrip China's. This "brute force" advantage allows for faster model iteration and exploration of larger parameter scales, with top US models reportedly leading their Chinese counterparts by 8 to 15 months. Chinese alternatives, such as Huawei's Ascend and others from companies like Moore Thread and Biren, are emerging. They show promise in inference and some training scenarios, closing the performance gap with mid-range Nvidia products. However, the core hurdle extends beyond raw chip performance to the entrenched software ecosystem, exemplified by Nvidia's CUDA platform. The path forward involves "walking on two legs": navigating import restrictions while heavily investing in the domestic chip industry. Though still in a catch-up phase, China's vast market, talent pool, and capital are fostering progress. The ultimate test is whether Chinese firms can build a competitive hardware-software ecosystem to power the next generation of AI.

He Kaiming's Team's New Work: After Deleting VAE and Private Data, Text-to-Image Generation Becomes Even Stronger

KaiMing He's team introduces **MiniT2I**, a minimalist text-to-image (T2I) model that challenges the complexity of mainstream approaches. It eliminates components commonly considered essential: the VAE encoder-decoder, AdaLN conditioning mechanisms, auxiliary losses, private training data, and post-training alignment stages like RL/DPO. Instead, it uses a pure flow-matching objective trained directly on RGB pixels. The model employs a simplified **MM-JiT** Transformer architecture. It removes AdaLN blocks for conditioning and instead prepends two lightweight text adapter blocks to a standard pre-norm Transformer, allowing frozen T5 text features to adapt to the denoiser. Training follows a two-stage, LLM-like paradigm using only public datasets: pre-training on LLaVA-recaptioned CC12M for coverage, followed by fine-tuning on ~120k high-quality image-text pairs. With just 258M parameters (B/16), MiniT2I achieves competitive scores (0.87 on GenEval, 84.2 on DPG-Bench), outperforming larger pixel-space models. Scaling to 912M parameters (L/16) yields results comparable to SD3-Medium (~2B parameters) in style, composition, and imagination, though it lags in text rendering and named entities due to public data limitations. Key advantages include lower computational cost (~570 GFLOPs vs. ~1379 for latent models) and architectural simplicity. Acknowledged limitations include patch boundary artifacts in pixel space, side effects of high CFG scales, resolution ceilings for sequences longer than 1024 tokens, and the aforementioned data bottlenecks. The work demonstrates that high-performance T2I generation is possible with a radically simplified, publicly reproducible baseline.
