Ella Zhang and Alex Odagiu YZi Labs | theCUBE + NYSE Wired: Crypto Trailblazers

Описание: As part of theCUBE + NYSE Wired: Crypto TrailBlazers series, YZi Labs leaders Ella Zhang, managing partner, and Alex Odagiu, senior investment director, join host John Furrier to share how the firm is driving the next wave of innovation at the intersection of Web3, AI and biotech. Zhang unpacks the strategic rebrand from Binance Labs, highlighting YZi Labs’ three-pillar model of incubation, direct investment and liquid strategy that supports founders from inception through IPO. She details how blockchain and AI can securely unlock siloed biomedical data to accelerate life sciences breakthroughs while preserving privacy, and how tokenomics can incentivize responsible data sharing.

Odagiu adds perspective on working with startups through every growth stage and the convergence of crypto, AI and biotech into borderless innovation ecosystems. The discussion examines real-world trends in stablecoin adoption, the role of regulatory clarity in accelerating mainstream payments and settlement and how global community building and talent development are differentiating today’s incubator model. Zhang and Odagiu also share their thesis on delaying token launches until product-market fit is achieved, ensuring durable business models before layering in token economics.
