以太坊大賭注輸五萬美元教訓




DeFi先驅因錯估以太幣價格賠出5萬美元

以太坊元老級人物Kain Warwick,Infinex及Synthetix創辦人,因為押注以太幣(Ether)價格會在2025年達到25,000美元,結果錯估約20,000美元,最終要支付5萬美元賠款。

根據CoinMarketCap數據,以太幣在2025年12月31日的收市價約為2,980美元,較年初下跌約13.7%。其中10月10日發生的190億美元加密貨幣市場清算事件引發下跌趨勢,令以太幣最低跌至2,767美元,之後才慢慢回升。

這筆賭注源自Warwick與Multicoin管理合夥人Kyle Samani於11月的對話。Samani質疑以太幣能否在年底前回升至25,000美元,Warwick則持相反意見,並以10比1的賠率下注。

Samani於周三在X(前Twitter)發文提醒Warwick「該付錢了」。

Warwick與不少市場人士一樣,去年對以太幣抱有極大期望,因機構採用率上升及推動實體資產代幣化的趨勢。Warwick週五接受Cointelegraph訪問時,因應這次損失,將2026年以太幣目標價調低至「乏善可陳的10,000美元」。

他表示:「實際上(Actually)以太幣自我們下注以來已升50%,只差再升8倍我就贏了。」

其他分析師亦看好10,000美元左右

早於Warwick加碼押注前數周,BitMine主席Tom Lee曾在10月13日的Bankless播客中預測,以太幣年底價位介乎10,000至12,000美元。

同場播客的BitMEX聯合創辦人Arthur Hayes亦堅持其10,000美元年底目標。

雖然價格未能達標,但以太坊在2025年仍實現多項重要里程碑。

以太坊於今年5月及12月分別完成了Pectra及Fusaka兩次重要升級。以太坊基金會表示,Fusaka升級使以太坊更接近實現「近乎即時交易」的目標。

週四,以太坊聯合創辦人Vitalik Buterin表示,以太坊仍需更多努力,才能實現「建立全球電腦,成為更自由開放互聯網核心基建」的使命。

評論與啟示

這次Warwick的失算,反映出即使是區塊鏈領域的資深人士,也難以準確預測加密貨幣價格走勢,尤其在市場波動劇烈及宏觀經濟不確定因素影響下。以太坊的價格未能如預期迅速反彈,部分原因是整體加密市場的清算潮及投資者情緒轉變。

然而,價格波動並不代表技術發展停滯。以太坊持續進行底層升級,力求改善交易速度和用戶體驗,這是長遠價值的關鍵。Buterin的言論也提醒我們,區塊鏈的願景不僅是價格,更是打造一個去中心化、自由開放的網絡基建。

對香港及全球投資者而言,這故事提醒大家投資加密貨幣需謹慎,切勿盲目追高或過度樂觀。更重要的是,應關注技術進展和生態系統的健康發展,而非短期價格波動。未來以太坊及其他公鏈的成功,將取決於其能否真正解決現實問題,推動區塊鏈技術的普及與應用。
