YZi Labs stands out as a big investment firm worth ten billion dollars. Changpeng CZ Zhao started it up. Now they are thinking about letting outside investors into their fund. That makes sense with the demand building for funds focused on crypto.
Overall, the regulatory side feels more welcoming these days under the Trump team. The firm holds stakes in over 230 companies already. That means they tie into the Web3 projects. And the investors looks like they could shake things up quite a bit in the industry.
Ella Zhang runs things at YZi Labs. She says outside backers keep showing steady interest. The firm might switch over to an external fund once its own setup gets solid enough. They have taken outside money before. Back in 2022, it was 300 million dollars.

The firm primarily invests in crypto startups, AI, and biotech projects, with digital assets making up about 70% of its portfolio. Recent investments include Ethena Labs and Plume Network, showcasing its commitment to innovative projects.

But they sent some back because they already had so much capital to handle. That careful way of doing things shows their focus on picking up quality spots to invest.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission has started paying closer attention to companies in YZi Labs’ portfolio. SEC Chair Paul Atkins even asked for a private look at some of those projects they backed. That points to regulators warming up to crypto more. Zhang likes how open-minded Atkins and the others seem. It could pull more crypto folks back to places like Silicon Valley.

YZi Labs puts money into crypto startups mostly. They also go after AI and biotech ideas. Digital assets fill about seventy percent of what they hold. Lately they are checking out ways to use public companies for buying tokens in treasury setups. That kind of strategy lets them use what they know best. It helps push growth in the whole crypto area.
YZi Labs keeps weighing the idea of opening up to more outside investors. They sit in a good spot to tap into that rising need for crypto opportunities. Their big portfolio and solid leaders mean they will probably shape things a lot going forward. Turning into a public fund could make it easier and more open for regular investors to get in on what they offer.
