Data: YZi Labs ranked as the second largest active family office globally in August, participating in 10 financing rounds with a total scale of 42.1 million USD

According to the disclosure by Family Office New Intelligence, data service provider FINTRX tracking shows that in August, family offices participated in a total of 109 transactions, with the total disclosed financing amount reaching 16.9 billion USD. Among these, follow-on financing rounds, where family offices continued to invest in companies they already hold, accounted for 27% of the transaction count. This indicates that, compared to continuing to invest in existing projects, family offices are more active in seeking and investing in new projects. The most active institution in August was a16z Perennial.a16z Perennial was established in 2022 and is a joint family office under the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, providing wealth management and investment services for its core partners Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, as well as the entrepreneurs they support. As of the end of 2025, a16z Perennial manages approximately 2.74 billion USD in regulated assets. In August, a16z Perennial participated in a total of 17 transactions, ranking first; the total disclosed scale of the related financing rounds reached approximately 10.45 billion USD.Ranking second is YZi Labs, founded by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. YZi Labs manages over 10 billion USD in assets globally, with investment coverage including Web3, artificial intelligence, and healthcare, and invests in startups at various stages of development. In August, YZi Labs participated in 10 transactions, second only to a16z Perennial; however, the total scale of the financing rounds involved in these transactions was 42.1 million USD, largely appearing in large financing rounds of several hundred million or even several billion USD.It should be noted that the amounts mentioned above refer to the total financing scale of all investors in the related financing rounds, rather than the actual investment amount of the family offices themselves. Due to the strong privacy of family office investments, it is usually difficult to obtain the specific investment amount of a single family office in each transaction.

first_img The United States' crackdown on Iranian oil tankers has driven up oil prices, while Bitcoin has fallen nearly 1% to $79,700

Bitcoin price fell nearly 1% to around $79,700, as escalating conflicts between the United States and Iran pushed oil prices higher. The U.S. Central Command confirmed on Saturday that it struck three Iranian oil tankers located near Halk Island, Jask, and the Gulf of Oman. Admiral Brad Cooper stated that if Iran attacks U.S. vessels, the U.S. will impose a higher economic cost.The U.S. Central Command updated maritime blockade data, stating that since resuming operations on July 14, it has redirected 92 merchant ships, disabled 3, and boarded 2 for inspection. Oil prices rose by 1% in both the U.S. and European markets, with WTI at $92.72, marking a cumulative increase of over 6% in the past seven days. The rise in oil prices could exacerbate global inflation, making it more difficult for central banks, including the Federal Reserve, to cut interest rates.Additionally, the U.S. employment data for August released last Friday was stronger than expected, reinforcing expectations for an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve. However, Trump immediately posted on Truth Social calling for a rate cut, stating that a strong nation means lower interest rates. This uncertainty may dampen risk appetite for Bitcoin and the broader market. Furthermore, late Sunday night, the Liquid Network, used by exchanges as a settlement layer, suffered a $320 million attack.

first_img Coinbase's Chief Policy Officer rebuts the American Bankers Association: There is no evidence that stablecoin rewards lead to bank deposit outflows

According to CoinDesk, Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad wrote an article for CoinDesk rebutting the arguments made by the American Bankers Association (ABA) against the stablecoin reward provisions in the Clarity Act. ABA CEO Rob Nichols claimed that only minor wording changes were needed to strengthen the bill and warned that allowing stablecoin rewards would lead to a loss of deposits for community banks.Shirzad pointed out that Coinbase has been paying stablecoin rewards for USDC for over four years, while community bank deposits grew by 26% from June 2019 to March 2026, amounting to approximately $482 billion.Shirzad cited research from Charles River Associates and the Economic Advisory Council stating that there is no significant correlation between stablecoins and bank deposits. He emphasized that the credit card industry was built on reward mechanisms, and the banking industry itself relies on this model. The current text of the bill was reached after months of negotiations between Senators Tillis and Alsobrooks and bank representatives, clearly delineating the boundaries: prohibiting returns on idle funds but allowing compensation for real activities.Shirzad believes that the Clarity Act will grant banks the broadest statutory powers since the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, including custody, staking, lending, payments, clearing, and market-making, with community banks benefiting the most. He called on all parties to accept this compromise and work together to advance the bill.
