Bitwise已裁减约14%员工,员工总数从约180人降至155人。公司向彭博确认了这一调整。此举发生在比特币回落、美国现货比特币 ETF 资金继续向头部产品集中的阶段。

公司披露称,裁员后团队规模仍是其成立八年来的最高水平。首席执行官 Hunter Horsley 表示,公司仍预计会继续扩张,并认为加密资产正逐步被更广泛的经济体系吸收。

旗下产品超过70只

Bitwise官网显示,公司目前管理客户资产约90亿美元,覆盖70多只投资产品,范围包括比特币及其他 ETF、独立管理账户、私募基金、对冲基金策略和质押产品。

其中,Bitwise 的现货比特币 ETF 规模约为23亿美元。按 SoSoValue 数据,美国现货比特币 ETF 当前净资产约775亿美元,贝莱德旗下 IBIT 约473亿美元,富达旗下 FBTC 约109亿美元。相比之下,Bitwise 产品占整体规模不足3%。

ETF资金继续向头部集中

这轮裁员也反映出 ETF 发行市场的集中度正在上升。虽然美国现货比特币 ETF 整体规模仍然庞大,但新增资金更多流向少数头部发行商,中小机构面临更明显的经营压力。

与此同时,比特币价格较2025年10月创下的高点已回落接近一半,最新约在6.4万美元附近。这轮低迷走势已持续约10个月,行业收入和扩张节奏也随之放缓。

多家加密公司同步收缩

Bitwise并非个例。Coinbase 在今年5月裁员约14%,首席执行官 Brian Armstrong 当时提到市场环境变化,以及 AI 对公司运营方式带来的影响。主经纪商 FalconX 也在8月初裁员约10%,并撤回其在新加坡的牌照申请,转而聚焦衍生品业务。

更激进的收缩已经出现在交易平台。BitMEX 上月表示将在9月23日关闭业务。BitMart 也在数日后宣布逐步关停平台。

CoinGecko 第二季度报告显示,预测市场名义交易量环比增长48.7%,达到1138亿美元新高;前十大中心化交易所现货交易量则下降27.9%,至1.95万亿美元;加密市场总市值同期下跌12.6%。这表明部分零售资金正从传统加密交易转向预测市场和 AI 概念股票。

补充信息:Bitwise管理层对后市仍保持积极表态。公司首席投资官 Matt Hougan 本周接受彭博电视采访时表示,市场可能已接近本轮“加密寒冬”的底部。他还称,近期 Coldcard 漏洞事件导致自托管钱包损失超过1亿美元,这反而凸显了通过 ETF 持有比特币的吸引力。
