质疑 biT global 的资质

Wrapped BTC 的业务模型

Wrapped BTC 的业务模型其实非常简单，如下图：

观点：WBTC该升级技术方案了

wrap：

表示从 BTC 转换成 W-BTC。

wrap-house：

表示 wrap 的运作机制， 确保用户存入的 BTC 都有对应的 w-btc 在某一个账本（通常是一个区块链，例如 ETH）得到铸造，不多不少。

unwrap：

表示从 W-BTC 转换成 BTC。

unwrap-house：

表示 unwrap 的运作机制，确保用户在销毁 w-btc 之后，会有机制让他获得 Bitcoin 上的 BTC，不多不少。

对比 Trustless 程度

对比上述业务和技术模型的维度特别多，下面作者将从 wrap/unwrap 2 个方向的免信任水平来进行对比。

Non-Trustless

典型的就是 BitGO 的当前 WBTC，wrap-house 和 unwrap-house 的运作，都是由 bitgo custody 控制。

观点：WBTC该升级技术方案了

很明显，用户需要信任 BitGO custody 服务商始终能够正常工作。

Single Way Trustless

接下来再来看在 2020 年前后出现的两个有代表性的项目：tBTC/renBTC。

观点：WBTC该升级技术方案了

我们可以看到，在 x-chain（例如有完整验证能力的情况下，例如具备 evm），wrap-house 比较容易做较高水平的 trustless。

但 unwrap-house 由于受到当时技术条件的局限，只能通过阈值签名的方式来提高安全性，无论这个预支签名的做到哪种程度。

Dual Way Trustless

时间来到了 2024 年，得益于包括 BitVM/Starkware 的团队在比特币原生验证能力（包含 fraud proof 和 validity proof）的开创性尝试，随着 BitlayerLabs 等社区团队的实践落地，unwrap-house 将有望实现 trustless。

观点：WBTC该升级技术方案了

其中 fraud proof 的代表是 BitVM 及其衍生项目，指的是没有 OP_CAT 的情况下实现乐观验证，主流的实现方案是承诺和挑战 ZK 验证的过程。

Validity proof 则是在假设具备 OP_CAT 操作码的情况下，实现 ZK 的直接验证；有了 OP_CAT，锁定的 BTC 将由所谓的 covenant（类合约）来控制。

方案总结对比

横向对比上述提到的各种技术方案，可以发现基于比特币验证能力（validation）的技术方案，将会在 2 个方向上 trustless 水平有更好的表现。

观点：WBTC该升级技术方案了

总结

WBTC 在 2018 年的横空出世，拉开了将 BTC 流动性带入 DeFi 世界的序幕。后续 2020 年的 tBTC 等项目做了一部分的优化和改进，以比特币原生的验证能力为代表的 validation 技术方案，将会在双向免信任上有更好的表现。WBTC，是时候升级你的技术方案了！

A Company Once on the Verge of Collapse Now Has a Market Cap Surpassing Bitcoin

"Once nearly bankrupt, SK Hynix now surpasses Bitcoin in market cap." On June 22, SK Hynix's market value reached $1.35 trillion, exceeding Bitcoin's $1.29 trillion, driven by soaring demand for its High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM), a critical component for AI training. As NVIDIA's primary HBM supplier with over 60% market share, the company reported a 72% operating profit margin in Q1. Its remarkable turnaround stems from a 13-year bet on HBM technology, initiated in 2009 and rescued by SK Group's acquisition in 2012. The company plans a Nasdaq listing, potentially attracting more institutional capital. This milestone highlights a market preference for tangible AI infrastructure assets—like HBM with its physical scarcity and verifiable revenue—over narrative-driven crypto-AI projects, which remain in early developmental stages and lack comparable proof of scalable demand or economic models. The capital shift underscores the premium placed on real-world supply constraints and profitability in the current AI boom.

A Company Once on the Brink of Bankruptcy Just Surpassed Bitcoin in Market Cap

On June 22nd, driven by rising stock prices, SK Hynix’s market capitalization reached $1.35 trillion, surpassing Bitcoin's total market cap of approximately $1.29 trillion. This temporarily made it South Korea's highest-valued company. The core driver of this surge is HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), for which SK Hynix is the primary supplier to NVIDIA, holding over 60% market share. AI's demand for high memory bandwidth has translated into immense profitability, with SK Hynix reporting a 72% operating profit margin in Q1. The company's success follows a 13-year bet on HBM technology, beginning in 2009. It nearly failed after the 2001 dot-com bubble, was acquired by SK Group in 2012, and was subsequently recapitalized to continue its long-term HBM development. The article contrasts this with the Crypto AI narrative. Capital currently favors AI infrastructure players like SK Hynix due to "real orders, physical barriers, and quantifiable profit margins." In comparison, Crypto AI projects, promising decentralized compute and data markets, remain largely conceptual with limited tangible progress. Examples include Bittensor, whose core mechanisms are still under development, and Bitcoin miners transitioning to AI, who face significant funding gaps and execution challenges. The piece cites analysis suggesting the AI sector has absorbed nearly all new market liquidity since 2022, leaving little for crypto. It concludes that the current AI infrastructure红利 is captured by entities with proven technical barriers and supply capabilities, while crypto networks still need to define their concrete role in the value chain.

Bittensor Moves Towards Ultimate Decentralization: The Critical 18 Months for the TAO Ecosystem is Here?

Bittensor, a decentralized AI protocol, is accelerating its transition to full decentralization over the next 18 months, as outlined in a recent post by co-founder Const. The project currently operates in a "semi-decentralized" state: ownership and network participation are open and permissionless, with TAO distribution based on competitive contribution. However, protocol upgrades and governance have remained under core team control to enable rapid iteration in the fast-evolving AI sector. This strategic shift comes as the ecosystem matures, boasting 128 subnets and a large community. Const argues that continued centralization now poses risks, including single points of failure and regulatory scrutiny. The upcoming decentralization roadmap includes optimizing validator competition, opening liquidity pools, introducing governance rights for Alpha holders, and refining economic models. The move could fundamentally reshape TAO's value proposition, adding governance premiums to its existing valuation based on AI narrative and scarcity. It also signals a potential maturation of the AI crypto sector, where competition may shift from hype to sustainable protocol design and real economic activity. Bittensor positions itself not just as another AI token, but as foundational infrastructure aiming to decentralize intelligence production—analogous to Bitcoin's role in decentralizing money—with the goal of creating a resilient "Millennium Intelligence Federation."

Japan's AI Dark Horse Emerges: How a 7B Small Model Challenges Fable and Mythos?

In June 2026, Sakana AI's new model Fugu caused a stir in the AI community. Its Fugu Ultra variant achieved scores of 73.7 on SWE-Bench Pro and 82.1 on TerminalBench 2.1, surpassing GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.8, and was claimed to be comparable to export-restricted models like Fable 5 and Mythos Preview. Remarkably, the core of this high-performance system is not a massive model, but a small 7B-parameter RL Conductor model. Fugu operates as a multi-agent orchestrator: the 7B model acts as a "foreman," dynamically analyzing user tasks and delegating subtasks to a pool of top-tier global models (e.g., GPT-5, Gemini 3.1 Pro). It then synthesizes and verifies their outputs. This architecture represents a paradigm shift from monolithic models to an expert-team approach. It enhances performance in complex, multi-step engineering tasks like code review and security testing by enabling cross-validation from specialized models, improving long-session stability and token efficiency. However, Fugu's strengths come with trade-offs: it faces inherent latency due to multiple API calls, relies heavily on underlying US model APIs (creating dependency risks), and its benchmark comparisons with Fable/Mythos are based on reported scores, not head-to-head testing. For Japan's AI ecosystem, which lacks the massive compute and data resources of the US or China, Fugu exemplifies an "asymmetric breakthrough" strategy. Instead of competing directly in parameter scale, it focuses on intelligent orchestration of existing global models, offering a degree of AI sovereignty and resilience. While a significant system-level innovation, its ultimate capability is still bounded by the underlying models it coordinates.

Wall Street Does It Again: New US Stock ETF Automatically Reinvests Dividends into Bitcoin

Franklin Templeton has filed with the SEC to launch two Bitcoin DRIP ETFs, which would automatically reinvest stock dividends into Bitcoin. These ETFs, the Franklin U.S. Equity Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF and the Franklin U.S. Innovation Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF, would hold portfolios of 95% traditional U.S. stocks and a 5% Bitcoin exposure. The key innovation is that dividends from the underlying stocks would be systematically and automatically used to purchase Bitcoin, creating a price-insensitive, continuous source of demand. This mechanism differs from standard Bitcoin spot ETFs, as buying is driven by corporate cash flow rather than investor sentiment, potentially providing steady support even in market downturns. While the initial annual Bitcoin buy pressure from a $100 billion AUM fund is estimated at $1-1.5 billion, which is small relative to current ETF flows, the product's appeal lies in offering traditional investors a way to gain Bitcoin exposure using only dividend income, thereby lowering the psychological barrier to entry. If approved, these ETFs could pave the way for similar products from other major asset managers, expanding this new channel of passive Bitcoin demand.
