我对2024-2025年加密产品的期待(快速列表,非详尽):

  • 移动端成为默认选择。

  • 稳定币基础设施逐渐成熟,以支持全球金融科技的采用,推动机构和监管的认可。

  • 预测市场可能会出现意想不到的形式。

  • NFT经历另一次惊人的演变。

  • 创作者工具与代币发行者之间的互动变得更加有趣和安全。

  • Farcaster频道将转变为钱包和DAO,并开展一些奇特而重大的活动。

  • Telegram将深入开发小型应用、钱包和支付功能。

  • Frames和blinks将找到大规模社交小型应用,验证“无头”市场推广作为引导协议和市场流动性的一种有效方式。

  • 数据DAO和代币化市场将吸引全新用户来赚取代币。

  • 对于加密领域的原住民来说,代币分配中将真正体现“实质参与”,从而培养出更忠诚和参与的用户和持有者。

欢迎在此回复Jesse的观点。

加密基础设施方面我对2024-2025年的期待(快速列表,非详尽):

  • 机构开始进行质押。

  • 链和钱包的抽象化工作良好,用户终于能够体验到优越的用户体验(这正是扩展性、互操作性和意图等工作带来的好处)。

  • 模块化逐渐成熟;第二代框架将集成模块打包,解决碎片化问题,同时保持可定制性。

  • ZK技术在隐私、链下数据和链上操作的交集上实现突破性应用。

  • 安全漏洞变得越来越少(例如在DeFi和接口中)。

  • 去中心化计算开始在成本和性能上展开竞争。

  • MEV市场结构逐渐成熟,乐观地惠及用户。

欢迎在此回复Jesse的观点。

我认为在未来6个月到1年内,加密领域将会出现的一些发展:

  • 开源AI开始转向加密领域以实现货币化。

  • 去中心化AI和计算逐渐获得动力。

  • DePIN帮助人们获得他们的第一笔加密货币。

  • 金融化导致的不良激励达到临界点。

Alana

我对2024/2025年加密的预测:

  • Block / CashApp将推出稳定币。

  • 将出现第三只现货ETF,但并不是人们所期待的。

  • PayPal开始提供收益稳定币(可能是PYUSD的修改版),并在Venmo中获得显著采用。

  • 人类验证项目将吸引超过1亿用户。

  • 一位知名脱口秀主持人将NFT作为其头像。

  • Farcaster用户超过300万,并开始提供有意义的移动优先分发。

  • 突破性的AI与加密结合的用例是社区拥有和训练的模型。

  • 本轮围绕去中心化GPU市场的炒作最终被证明仅仅是炒作,因为供应短缺缓解,新型芯片出现。

  • 我们确实看到去中心化训练和推理的重要用例出现,因为集中式云开始制定关于哪些类型的模型可以在其服务器上运行的政策,但这需要2年以上才能真正发展(因为监管进展缓慢)。

  • 基于比特币的开发体验显著改善。

  • 一位知名传统金融人士写了一条关于Helium(或其他DePIN项目)的推文。

  • 一家受欢迎的L2决定成为自己的L1。

  • 至少有一半的预测是错误的。

欢迎在此回复Alana的观点。

Cooper

一些当前的年末预测:

  • 共享序列器终于上线。

  • 许多证明市场进入测试网。

  • 随着去中心化,Rollup的恐惧不安逐渐平息。

  • 以太坊的路线图将更加清晰。

  • ZK应用程序发布并真正被使用。

  • 分片研究再次成为热门话题。

欢迎在此回复Cooper的观点。

Derek

2024-2025年的元级预测:我们将从基础设施转向本周期的应用部分。

一些具体想法:

  • 10多家主要金融科技公司推出自己的稳定币。

  • ETF开始质押。

  • 一个基于Base的加密消费者应用程序达到1000万以上的周活跃用户。

  • 每个传统金融巨头基金都对其产品进行代币化。

  • 一个加密预测市场在政治之外的类别中达到每月10亿美元的交易量。

  • 比特币作为主要全球货币的储备资产。

  • 一家美国前20大银行通过DeFi渠道借款。

  • 一个DePin网络用户超过1000万。

  • 一家主要的AAA工作室创建一款链上游戏。

  • DEX的交易量在某个时刻超过CEX的交易量。

  • 一个在Telegram/Ton上的迷你游戏吸引10亿玩家。

欢迎在此回复Derek的观点。

12个月后,我预计关于代理AI在加密中有哪些产品市场契合度(PMF)会有更清晰的认识。

在此期间,我认为我们将看到几个应用程序获得 traction,并定义第一代可行的用例。这些领先的应用程序将推动代理平台的网络效应,影响哪些平台成为施林点。

这一序列的第一步是构建引人注目的用户体验,利用代理。我认为最有可能获得早期 traction 的一些用例包括:

  • 代币发现、研究和交易。

  • 空投和流动性挖矿。

  • 游戏:代理作为可玩角色和非玩家角色(NPC)。

  • AI伴侣。

  • 自主内容生产者。

我非常期待在这些和其他用例中即将到来的创新浪潮。成为加密用户的时光应该会很有趣!

欢迎在此回复Geoff的观点。

Coin Stock Barometer丨BitMine's Total Assets and Investment Reach $10.7 Billion, Exceeding ~$9.3 Billion Floating Loss; Strategy Buys Only 520 BTC, Strive Adds Positions Against the Trend (June 23)

This article provides a weekly market update on "coin-equity" trends, focusing on listed companies holding major cryptocurrencies. Key highlights include: **General Market Trends:** Global equities, particularly in the US, Japan, and South Korea, faced significant sell-offs, led by large tech and AI-related stocks. Analysts cite profit-taking and a shift from hype-driven to performance-driven valuation for AI companies. Market focus is on upcoming Micron Technology's earnings. **Cryptocurrency Treasury Updates:** * **Bitcoin (BTC):** Net weekly BTC purchases by listed companies (excluding miners) totaled approximately $86 million, down 13.97% from the prior week. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) purchased only 520 BTC for ~$34.9 million, while Strive Asset Management increased its holdings by 759 BTC for ~$50 million. Other notable actions include Mara Holdings adding 1,000 BTC and Capital B shareholders approving a massive financing plan (up to ~$1.2 trillion) to potentially expand its Bitcoin reserves. * **Ethereum (ETH):** BitMine emerged as the largest corporate ETH treasury, holding 5.67 million ETH (4.7% of supply). It purchased an additional 52,203 ETH ($92 million) in the past week. Sharplink completed a $75 million private placement to fund further ETH accumulation and stock buybacks. * **Solana (SOL):** The top five listed companies hold over 15.7 million SOL combined. However, Solmate Infrastructure, a SOL treasury firm, faces a lawsuit from its largest external shareholder alleging board misconduct and self-dealing. * **Other:** Updates include Canton Strategic's $50 million stock buyback plan and Lite Strategy's $1 million strategic investment in LitVM, a Layer-2 network for Litecoin. The article notes that while crypto treasury firms continue fundraising and accumulation, their stocks may struggle to rise against the broader market downturn until Q4.

OpenAI Partners with PE Firms, Investing $4 Billion. Let's Talk About Silicon Valley's Hottest New Role: FDE.

The hottest new role in Silicon Valley is the Forward Deployment Engineer (FDE), a hybrid of engineer and business consultant whose core mission is to transform AI demos into native, practical workflows within client organizations. The recent surge in demand is driven by a strategic shift from leading AI companies. OpenAI, partnering with 19 private equity firms in a $4 billion investment, formed a Deployment Company and acquired Tomoro along with its 150 FDEs. Anthropic also announced a $1.5 billion joint venture with financial institutions like Blackstone. The article, based on interviews with industry experts Jove (FDE lead at Cresta) and Oliver (VP at Invisible Technologies, ex-McKinsey), explores the FDE role and the rise of deployment-focused companies. Key insights include: **The FDE Role:** Jove describes an FDE as a "Forward Deployed CTO"—a technically strong engineer who works intimately with clients to implement AI solutions, learn from the process, and feed those insights back to improve the core product. They require expertise in AI agents, client-facing experience, resilience, and the ability to handle complex, imperfect systems. While AI tools enhance their efficiency, the role's complexity makes full automation a distant prospect. **Industry Shift:** Model companies are moving beyond selling tools to ensuring real-world adoption. This blurs the line between model and application companies. Collaborations with private equity (PE) firms are key, providing access to large portfolios of traditional businesses needing AI transformation. For PE firms, these partnerships offer signal value to LPs, create tangible value in portfolio companies, and provide exposure to high-growth AI assets. **Consulting & Transformation:** AI deployment involves deep, customized workflow redesign, moving beyond simple tool augmentation. Companies like Invisible Technologies build modular platforms to create bespoke, AI-native workflows for clients. While traditional consulting will see growth in helping businesses rethink their models for AI, the real value is captured by firms that leave behind transformed, operational systems. Critical success factors include building robust data foundations and strategically deciding which workflow steps should be deterministic versus AI-driven. The ultimate goal shifts from pure cost-cutting to unlocking new revenue opportunities previously impossible without AI-scale capabilities.

Why Is DeFi Insurance Unpopular?

The article explores the core reasons why DeFi insurance remains largely unutilized despite its potential to eliminate traditional insurance inefficiencies and malicious claim denials through automated smart contracts. Key points include: 1. **Low Adoption & Minimal Payouts:** Leading provider Nexus Mutual has paid only ~$18M in claims since 2019, dwarfed by single hack losses (e.g., Kelp DAO's $292M loss). 2. **High Correlation Risk:** Unlike traditional insurance (e.g., house fires), DeFi risks (oracle failures, bridge hacks) are systemic and can simultaneously impact multiple protocols, threatening to drain entire insurance pools. 3. **Prohibitive Cost vs. Reward:** For many protocols (Aave, Morpho, Compound), insurance premiums (1.5%-6%) consume a significant portion or even all of the native yield (3%-4%), leaving investors with meager returns. In some cases (Maple Finance, Ethena), premiums can even result in net-negative yields. 4. **Inadequate Capacity:** The total DeFi insurance pool (e.g., Nexus Mutual's $81.56M) is minuscule compared to the hundreds of billions in total value locked (TVL), creating a massive supply-demand gap. 5. **Structural Flaws:** The claims assessment model (e.g., Nexus Mutual's member voting) creates a conflict of interest, as voters bear the loss if a claim is paid. There is also no regulatory mandate forcing DeFi protocols to obtain insurance. The industry is adapting by focusing on preventative measures (e.g., bug bounty coverage) and seeking external capital via reinsurance. However, the fundamental issues of small pool size, correlated risk, and misaligned economic incentives persist. The article concludes that DeFi insurance, like a public lighthouse, provides shared security benefits, but if everyone relies on others to pay for it, no one will, leaving the ecosystem vulnerable.
