July 10th, 2025 – Abu Dhabi, UAE Main takeaways YZi Labs has invested in Aspecta, a blockchain infrastructure platform enabling intelligent attestation, price discovery, and lifecycle liquidity for illiquid assets like pre-TGE shares, locked tokens, private equities, RWAs and more. The funding will help Aspecta scale its network, enhance collaborations with major partners, and expand global adoption of its open economy framework for “alpha assets.” YZi Labs today announced its strategic investment in Aspecta (X: @aspecta_ai), a blockchain infrastructure building the foundation for an open economy around illiquid assets at trillion-dollar scale. This investment highlights YZi Labs’ commitment to support fair participation in emerging asset ecosystems through verifiable, on-chain frameworks. Announcement available on X.com via this link. Aspecta addresses a fundamental gap in capital markets: early-stage or locked assets often enter public markets without transparent pricing, creating volatility and mistrust. Its solution includes BuildKey , a framework that standardizes illiquid assets into ERC-20-like credentials allowing open on-chain price discovery, and Build Attestation (Aspecta ID), an AI-powered reputation protocol that helps developers and early projects build trust and signal credibility. Together, these tools enable illiquid assets to be represented, attested, and traded more openly – laying the groundwork for an open, inclusive market for “alpha assets.” YZi Labs first met the Aspecta team during BNB Chain’s MVB Season 7 in March 2024. At the time, Aspecta was scaling Aspecta ID and had become one of the largest platforms supporting developers and early-stage projects; they were also working with Google Developer Group and various L1/L2 chains to grow the builder ecosystem. A standout effort during that period was the launch of the BNB Chain Builder Economy , the first builder-community consensus with productivity tokenization. Fast forward to June 2025, Aspecta has supported over 650,000 users across Aspecta ID and BuildKey, with more than 54,000 GitHub-verified developers and projects onboarded. Its infrastructure underpins open price discovery for 25+ digital assets and facilitated over 50 million asset trades via Buildkey framework. The strategic funding from YZi Labs will help Aspecta deepen integrations with major partners, enabling new avenues for transparent, long-term asset growth. It will also scale its open economy framework and liquidity systems to support more illiquid assets—like private equities and other RWAs—within a permissionless, interoperable network, while advancing global adoption and open price discovery from the earliest stages. “We believe transparent, on-chain infrastructure for illiquid assets will be fundamental to the next chapter of blockchain adoption,” said Alex Odagiu , Investment Director at YZi Labs. “Aspecta’s vision for permissionless price discovery and lifecycle liquidity aligns with our belief that open, inclusive markets can drive innovation and accessibility.” “We’re thrilled to be backed by YZi Labs to scale the open economy for trillions in illiquid assets,” said Jack He , Co-Founder of Aspecta. “From pre-TGE shares to post-TGE locked tokens, Web2 private equities, RWAs, and non-standard OTC assets — our goal is to enable these assets to be attested, openly priced, freely traded, and supported from the earliest stages through collective effort.” About YZi Labs YZi Labs manages over $10 billion in assets globally.
