比特币为何狂飙?多头给出简单原因:供应不够了!

为什么比特币本周飙升至创纪录水平?世界上最大的加密货币的粉丝们表示,这是由于传统的供求规律。

比特币就像任何商品的价格一样,其价格对需求的波动很敏感。今年1月,在可以直接投资比特币的比特币现货ETF推出后,市场对比特币的需求激增。

自那以后,投资者向这些ETF投入了数十亿美元。这些资金流入促使这些基金购买比特币以满足需求,从而推高了比特币的价格。

比特币的供应受到严格限制

比特币与其他大宗商品的不同之处在于,它的供应受到严格限制,这种动态可能导致比特币价格大幅飙升。

支撑比特币的计算机代码规定了比特币的总量只有2100万个,其中90%以上已被“挖出”。

为了扩大供应,矿工会通过让计算机运行算法来“挖掘”新的比特币。但他们每天只能挖出大约900个新的比特币,预计在下个月出现所谓“减半”的周期性事件后,这一生产速度还会下降。大约在2140年,当最后一枚比特币被开采出来时,比特币的供应最终将停止。

Galaxy Digital研究主管Alex Thorn表示:

“比特币是世界上最稀缺的资产之一,而且正日益稀缺。”

但就价格而言,谁也不能保证比特币会继续上涨。比特币目前的高价可能会鼓励持有者出售,从而锁定利润。

值得注意的是,比特币的前几轮牛市之后都是毁灭性的崩盘:在2021年11月达到上一个峰值后,比特币在接下来的一年里下跌了70%以上。持怀疑态度的人,包括政府官员和华尔街高管仍然认为比特币是一种没有内在价值的投机资产。

目前,比特币自年初以来已经上涨了58%。

对需求“十分敏感”

用经济学术语来说,比特币的供给是高度无弹性的,这意味着它不会对价格波动做出反应,而具有这种特性的大宗商品容易出现价格波动。例如,天然气生产商无法在短期内大幅增加天然气产量以利用高气价。

不过,从长期来看,天然气价格的持续高企会促使钻探者寻找新的燃料来源。同样,当黄金价格长时间处于高位时,黄金开采商可以追求成本高昂的新采矿项目,在越来越陌生的地方寻找这种贵金属。

但比特币不是这样运作的。比特币代码中的规则规定了矿工将新比特币带入市场的速度,这一速度会周期性地减半。过去,由于加密货币投资者预计供应会趋紧,比特币的价格会在这种减半之前攀升。

比特币应该有一个固定的最大供应量的想法来自比特币的匿名创造者中本聪(Satoshi Nakamoto),他写道,这样的设计将使比特币免于通胀。

投资公司Swan Bitcoin的私人客户服务主管Steven Lubka表示,“从根本上说,市场上不会有额外的比特币供应。”

这就使得比特币对需求的增长非常敏感,而新的比特币现货ETF自1月11日推出以来一直在大量买入比特币。当天,9只新的ETF首次上市交易,而现有的一只基金灰度比特币信托也转换成了一只ETF。从那时起,近80亿美元的资金净流入比特币现货ETF,其中9只新基金的资金流入超过了灰度旗下比特币现货ETF的资金流出。

据投资研究公司ByteTree估计,截至周二,全球ETF或其他投资基金持有的比特币占全球总供应量的5%,高于1月11日美国比特币现货ETF开始交易时的4.4%。

小心抛压!

当比特币现货ETF购买新的比特币以满足投资者需求时,它们通常依赖于芝加哥交易巨头DRW Holdings的子公司Cumberland或纽约Jane Street Capital等自营交易公司。这些公司运营着加密交易部门,并在数字货币市场上搜寻大量比特币,以填补基金的订单。

一些分析师表示,从大持有者那里获得比特币变得越来越困难。公开的区块链数据显示,全球供应的约1960万枚比特币中,有很大一部分位于“沉睡”数字钱包中,这些钱包很少移动比特币,可能是因为它们属于拒绝出售的长期比特币持有者,也可能是因为所有者丢失了密码,导致他们的比特币无法移动。

瑞士私人银行Julius Baer分析师Manuel Villegas上周在一份研究报告中说,在过去六个月里,大约80%的比特币供应没有转手。Villegas写道,再加上ETF资金的流入,以及数据显示交易所可供出售的比特币库存有限,这“可能会加剧供应紧张”。

其他人表示,有很多卖家愿意在反弹中卖出比特币,这可能是比特币在短暂超过2021年的纪录后,上涨势头有所停滞的原因。

DRW的关系管理主管Rob Strebel说,在最近几周ETF资金大量流入的情况下,Cumberland不难找到比特币来满足现货ETF对比特币的需求。他说,该公司从大型加密投资者那里获得了大部分比特币,这些投资者在比特币价格较低时购买了比特币,并借此机会获利了结。 Strebel说:

“当你看到市场呈抛物线走势时,就像比特币一样,这是一个自然的卖出机会。尤其是当人们回忆起2021年的上一轮牛市时,他们会从桌面上拿走一些筹码。”

Two Giants' Credit Expansion: Loan Balances of $9.9 Billion vs. $14.6 Billion, Brazil Emerges as the Main Battlefield

Title: Two Giants "Credit" Surge: Loan Balances of 99 Billion vs. 146 Billion USD, Brazil Emerges as Main Battlefield Summary: The article compares the rapid expansion of credit businesses by two major e-commerce and fintech players, Sea (via Monee) and Mercado Libre (via Mercado Pago), in overseas markets like Southeast Asia and Latin America, contrasting with a slowing domestic Chinese credit market. Using Q1 2026 financial data, it highlights their significant growth. Sea's Monee reached a loan balance of $99 billion, up 71% year-over-year (YoY), contributing 17.5% to Sea's total revenue. Mercado Pago's loan balance hit $146 billion, up 87% YoY, contributing 45% to its parent company's revenue. Both maintained stable risk metrics (e.g., Monee's 90+ day NPL at 1.1%) despite rapid scaling. Brazil is identified as a key and accelerating growth market for both. Sea's Brazilian operations saw loan volumes exceed $10 billion, growing 250% YoY, with SPayLater GMV penetration still low (~10%) indicating high potential. Sea also secured a key Brazilian financial credit license (SCFI). Mercado Libre's Brazil segment contributed over half (54%) of total group revenue, with its credit business there generating $11.24 billion in revenue, up 89% YoY and accounting for 12.7% of global revenue. Mercado Pago's credit portfolio, especially credit cards (46% of loans, +105% YoY), is a strategic focus, described as crucial as building logistics was a decade ago. Its net interest margin after loss (NIMAL) remains high at 17.8%. The article concludes that while Brazil presents immense opportunities, the success is largely driven by these integrated "e-commerce + fintech" giants with proprietary transaction data and ecosystems, making it challenging for standalone fintech players to compete effectively.

Research Report Analysis: Is Intel Making a Comeback with Apple? Bernstein's Calculations Show the Right Direction, but the Price Is Already Overvalued

Bernstein analyst Stacy A. Rasgon published a report on June 18 regarding Intel, assessing the potential impact of recent political support for a US-based PC chip design and manufacturing collaboration between Apple and Intel. The report views this as a significant signal for the foundry landscape shift but concludes the initial financial contribution would be minimal. Key conclusions: 1) An Apple deal is seen as a small-scale "proof of concept." Even if Intel wins 40% of Apple's premium notebook chip orders (~5 million units/year), Bernstein estimates it would generate only about $500M in annual revenue and ~$0.03 EPS, negligible against Intel's ~$55B revenue. 2) Political encouragement is not equivalent to enforceable mandates. Winning orders ultimately depends on Intel demonstrating competitive technology (like its 18A node), cost, and reliable supply. 3) The path from validation to large-scale production involves significant challenges, capital investment, and time. Due to these uncertainties, Bernstein maintains a Market-Perform (Hold) rating with a $100 price target, implying potential downside from the ~$121.10 price at the report date. The analysis highlights the tension between near-term validation value—serving as a crucial trust signal for Intel's foundry ambitions and US supply chain resilience—and the long-term opportunity to attract larger cloud and AI chip customers. The investment thesis hinges on successful 18A execution and sustained policy support, not on immediate financial gains from Apple.

27-Year Reign Ends: SK Hynix Market Cap Surpasses Samsung for First Time, an AI-Driven Reshuffle of Korean Chip Power

On June 22, 2026, SK Hynix made history by surpassing Samsung Electronics in market capitalization, ending Samsung's 27-year reign as South Korea's most valuable company. This dramatic reversal is powered by the AI boom and SK Hynix's dominant position in High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), a critical component for AI model training. Once a heavily indebted firm on the brink of bankruptcy, SK Hynix bet early on HBM, which has evolved from a niche product to essential AI infrastructure. It now commands a 59% share of the global HBM market. Its financial performance is staggering, with Q1 2026 net profit soaring nearly fourfold year-over-year to KRW 40.35 trillion, translating to over 2 billion RMB in daily net profit. HBM now drives roughly 40% of its revenue with exceptionally high margins. In contrast, Samsung, with its broad portfolio spanning memory chips, smartphones, and foundry services, has lagged in the HBM race while facing headwinds in other divisions. This shift signifies a deeper restructuring of South Korea's economy, moving from consumer electronics to AI-driven growth. However, the future remains competitive. With major capacity expansions planned industry-wide by 2028 and Samsung aiming to catch up in HBM technology, the new market leader cannot afford complacency. This event marks a pivotal moment in the global semiconductor industry's ongoing power realignment.
