TREE NEWS update: YZi Labs announced that 24 early-stage projects have been selected for EASY Residency Season 4, each receiving $500,000 in investment and completing a 10-week incubation. The cohort focuses on stablecoin payments, on-chain FX, institutional-grade market infrastructure, privacy, credit, and AI-native execution. Founders also gathered in Bhutan for collaboration and building.
YZi Labs invests $500K in each of 24 startups for EASY Residency S4
The uniform $500K checks across 24 startups suggest a portfolio-spread approach rather than deep conviction in any single thesis, which is notable given the broad thematic sweep from stablecoins to AI execution. The Bhutan retreat hints that network effects among founders are part of the value proposition, not just capital. The real signal to watch is whether any of these incubated projects graduate to meaningful institutional adoption or liquidity, since the categories named are crowded but still early in maturity. Whether YZi's selection process filters for defensibility or just trend alignment is the open question.
