YZi Labs Portfolio Data Analysis: 229 Investments, 95 Listed on Binance

YZi Labs Portfolio Data Insight: 229 Investments, 95 Listed on Binance In March 2026, YZi Labs investment partner Dana Hou departed after four years, witnessing the crypto VC industry's cycle from frenzy to contraction. RootData recorded 229 YZi Labs investments, involving 218 unique projects. Among them, 154 have issued tokens: - 150 are listed on at least one exchange - 95 are listed on Binance - 22 have a market cap below $500K - 20 have ceased operations Approximately 45% of the listed projects (69) are considered relatively healthy, including successes like Ethena ($920M market cap), Aster ($1.73B), Sui ($3.54B), and Aptos ($790M). These primarily focus on DeFi infrastructure and L1/L2 solutions. Half of the tradable projects (76) have a market cap below 50% of their fully diluted valuation (FDV), with 26 projects below 20%. Notable pivots include STEPN (to lifestyle platform), MyShell (AI Agent infrastructure), and Open Campus (education solutions ecosystem). YZi Labs maintained investment pace during bear markets, with 49 deals in 2022 versus 44 in the 2021 bull market. However, lead investment rates dropped from 36% in bull markets to 16-27% in bear markets, indicating a more cautious approach. DeFi has become YZi Labs' preferred sector, while game investments declined significantly. A notable characteristic is the non-disclosure of investment amounts in 45.6% of deals (104), particularly during bear markets and strategic rounds. The firm is strategically expanding into AI and stablecoins, aiming to rebuild its portfolio and upgrade its research capabilities for cross-cycle performance.

Jack Ma Just Concluded an AI Mobilization Meeting, and the 'Soul Figure' of Qwen Left

A major leadership shakeup has hit Alibaba's AI division following a high-level strategic meeting. Ma Yun, along with core executives from Alibaba and Ant Group, convened on March 3rd to signal a full commitment to AI. However, the very next day, Lin Junyang, the 32-year-old P10 technical lead and key architect behind Alibaba’s open-source Qwen large language models, abruptly announced his resignation on social media platform X. Reports suggest the departure was not voluntary. The trigger appears to be an internal restructuring plan for the Qwen team. The plan, from the Tongyi Lab, aimed to break up Lin’s vertically integrated, full-stack team into separate, horizontally divided modules reporting directly to the lab, which would significantly reduce his management scope. This clashed fundamentally with Lin's belief that deep collaboration within a full-process team is essential for LLM innovation. The incident highlights a growing tension within Alibaba between the open-source technical ideals championed by Lin and the company's increasing focus on commercial returns from AI. Despite Qwen's global open-source success—topping Hugging Face downloads with over 1 billion—internal skepticism about its revenue potential and pressure from competitors were mounting. Lin's resignation has sent shockwaves through the global AI community, prompting an outpouring of support. Several key Qwen team members have also resigned. His departure marks a pivotal moment for Alibaba AI, signaling a shift from building open-source technological influence to prioritizing commercial落地 (commercialization). The immediate challenges for Alibaba include potential further brain drain, disrupted development rhythms, and maintaining trust within the open-source ecosystem, all while facing intense competition.
