Morpho 是一种去中心化的加密货币借贷协议,在由 Ribbit Capital 领投的一轮战略融资中筹集了 5000 万美元,Ribbit Capital 是 Robinhood、Revolut 和 Coinbase 等金融科技公司的早期投资者。

参与私募代币销售的还有 a16z crypto、Coinbase Ventures、Variant、Pantera、Brevan Howard、BlockTower 和 Kraken Ventures 等重量级人物。Morpho 基于融资的估值尚未披露。该公司早在 2022 年就筹集了 1800 万美元的资金,当时该公司的首席执行官 Paul Frambot 还在读大学三年级

这里的目标是将相对稀缺和内向的去中心化金融 ( DeFi ) 世界与互联网的基础协议层融合。Morpho 于两年前推出,从优化层的角色发展成为 Morpho Blue,后者是 Aave 和 Compound 用户提高利率的平台(在此过程中引起了一些争议),而 Morpho Blue 是一个基础设施,其他人可以在其上构建加密借贷应用程序并制定自己的风险管理策略。

“我们的目标一直是:如何摆脱 DeFi?” Frambot 在接受 CoinDesk 采访时表示。“我们如何确保最终——也许不是在短期内——能够将私人金融基础设施转变为公共产品?”

这就是Ribbit 等金融科技支持者的战略参与发挥作用的地方,因为 Robinhood 和 Revolut 等投资组合公司拥有庞大的分销渠道,可以使用 Morpho 灵活地设计借贷用例,而不会分散流动性,Frambot 表示。

我们需要弥合 DeFi 的差距,并将其真正融入金融科技世界,而 Ribbit 显然是我们的合作伙伴,”Frambot 说道。“我们已经在现实世界中实现了潜在的整合,而不仅仅是像加密杠杆用例那样,坦率地说,这是目前 DeFi 借贷的大多数用例。”

本轮融资的其他投资者包括:Hack VC、IOSG、Rockaway、L1D、Mirana、Cherry、Semantic、Fenbushi、Leadblock Bitpanda 和 Robot Ventures。

SemiAnalysis Deep Dive into CXMT: $50 Billion Revenue, An IPO Amidst a Supercycle

SemiAnalysis' in-depth report on ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) details its rapid rise as China's largest upcoming semiconductor IPO. Founded in 2016 by Zhu Yiming, CXMT built its DRAM foundation on acquired patents and talent from the bankrupt German firm Qimonda. It achieved its first annual profit in 2025 after nearly a decade of significant capital support, primarily from patient Hefei municipal investors who fostered a local supply chain. The company is now capitalizing on a strong DRAM supercycle. Its revenue soared from ~$3.3B in 2024 to ~$8.6B in 2025, with Q1 2026 alone reaching ~$7.3B. SemiAnalysis projects full-year 2026 revenue could exceed $50B, driven by soaring ASPs rather than massive market share gains. While CXMT is closing the capacity gap with Micron, its product mix remains heavily focused on commodity DDR/LPDDR, which currently offers higher margins than its nascent HBM business. CXMT faces significant challenges in HBM, struggling with yield and stability for HBM3 8-Hi stacks while lagging behind the big three (Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron) in advanced nodes. However, strategic national priorities for AI self-sufficiency may push it to accelerate HBM capacity. Its complex IPO structure reveals heavy state-backed ownership and voting control over its fabs, with Alibaba appearing as both a key cloud customer and a minority shareholder. The IPO aims to raise ~$4.1B, primarily to strengthen its core DRAM manufacturing base.

From Corning to Ciena: The 10x Opportunity in the AI Optical Communication Chain

The transition from copper to optical communication in AI data centers is creating significant investment opportunities beyond just chipmakers. The entire photonics supply chain, from glass and fiber to connectors and test equipment, is critical. Corning, a key fiber supplier, has locked in multi-billion dollar, multi-year contracts with major cloud providers (Meta, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, NVIDIA), demonstrating pricing power and scale. Its profit growth is outpacing revenue growth. In the interconnect layer, Amphenol benefits from high growth in AI data centers, driven by strategic acquisitions and operational efficiency, while Credo Technology acts as a bridge between copper and optical solutions, though with high customer concentration risk. At the systems level, Ciena enables higher data capacity on existing fiber lines, with a strong backlog and cloud customer adoption. Further upstream, AXT is a bottleneck supplier of key indium phosphide wafers for lasers but faces geopolitical supply chain risks. VEO Solutions provides essential testing equipment for the entire photonics industry. A new pure-play photonics ETF (FOTO) offers a consolidated investment approach. The core thesis is that the physical limits of copper are driving an inevitable shift to optical technologies, with wealth flowing to essential, often overlooked, suppliers across the photonics value chain.

Collector Crypt's DAU Is Only 800, Yet It's Already One of Crypto's Most Profitable Projects?

"Collector Crypt: A Highly Profitable Crypto Project with Only 800 Daily Active Users?" Collector Crypt (CARDS) is a crypto project tokenizing physical graded trading cards (primarily Pokémon) on Solana, achieving significant real-world profitability and growth. According to a Maelstrom Fund analysis, it generated approximately $53M in annualized profit in May, with a June run-rate nearing $109M, against a $550M FDV. Its core revenue driver is a digital pack-opening 'Gacha' system. The platform bulk-buys cards at a 5-15% discount. Users can open digital packs and choose to keep cards or sell them back to the platform at a 7-15% discount to market price. Most users sell back common cards, creating an efficient model: users get packs with a ~2% positive expected value, while Collector Crypt captures ~4.5% profit. The project aims to disrupt the inefficient $22.2B GMV (Q1 2026) eBay trading card market, which charges sellers 16-20% in total fees. Collector Crypt offers 2% fees, instant settlement, insured custody, and one-click trading. Beyond Gacha, future revenue streams include secondary market trading fees, infrastructure partnerships, and an eBay "snipe" tool. It holds ~$23M in card inventory and ~$10M in cash, and has already begun token buybacks. With a total supply of 2B tokens, effective circulation post-2027 unlocks is estimated at ~1.3B. Trading primarily on DEXs has so far limited large institutional entry. The project is expanding into sports cards and attracting Web2 users. Maelstrom Fund's price target is $4 by summer's end, positioning Collector Crypt at the forefront of migrating collectibles on-chain.
