FinTax 创始人 Calix:CARF 会终结加密行业的“监管套利时代”吗? FinTax 创始人 Calix @FinTax_CN 在吴说不加密播客中表示,CARF 的推进并不意味着加密行业的税务监管套利空间会立即消失。他将其比作一张“大而疏的网”,认为框架的覆盖范围、运行机制及数据有效性仍需长期实践和调整。 他指出,加密税收监管分为信息收集与跨国交换、各国依据本国税法判断纳税义务,以及个人和企业完成税收合规三个层次。CARF 本身并不决定谁应缴税、缴什么税或缴多少税。在他看来,加密业务仍有不少场景未被充分覆盖,税务监管套利空间可能长期存在,并与监管持续博弈。 关注吴说频道,更多专业采访、播客与短视频

A few friends asked what I'm looking for. Here is my short answer: privacy, post-quantum. - privacy, institutions can adopt - cryptography, quantum computers can't break Most of what gets built on top of crypto in the next cycle depends on both. This is my target for EASY Residency S5 @EASYResidency

标题:AMA:如何才能获得 YZi Labs 投资? Biteye @BiteyeCN 9 月 11 日举办线上 AMA,EASY Residency S4 多位创始人共同复盘在不丹参加 YZi Labs 训练营五周的经历,并分享申请 YZi Labs 的经验与建议。FinTax、Facto、De¹ 等项目创始人表示,申请时最重要的是做减法,用最简单的方式讲清楚项目解决什么问题、为什么由你来做,而不是堆砌产品、技术和市场信息。YZi Labs 投资负责人 Jeffrey Hu @jeffrey_hu 则表示,对于早期项目,他们会重点关注创始人的思考能力、执行力,以及项目是否已经展现出产品进展、市场拓展、获客和收入增长的潜力。 来源:Biteye

《不丹归来:当创业者离开速度,重新理解为什么 Build》(作者 Biteye)文章围绕 EASY Residency S4 Founder 在不丹五周的生活与共建经历展开,介绍了不丹相对安静、封闭的环境如何帮助参与者减少外部干扰、深入交流并重新审视项目方向。嘉宾分享了网络等基础设施限制、YZi Labs 在客户连接、生态资源和战略判断上的支持,以及申请、Demo Day 准备中的经验。离开不丹时,各团队在产品定位、客户合作、生态思维和业务推进上均有不同程度的进展,也更清楚哪些判断应当坚持、哪些地方需要调整。阅读全文: wublock123.com/articles/bhut…

這趟不丹,回來後已經開始想明年什麼時候再去了 🇧🇹⛰️ 很感謝幣安與 @yzilabs 團隊和@LiuIcey6 的邀請。如果沒有這次活動,我可能還不會特別安排去不丹,也就錯過了這些風景、飯店,以及這趟學到的東西 🙏 ⚡️ 其中讓我很有興趣的,是不丹從比特幣挖礦,進一步往 AI 算力與資料中心布局。 對我來說,這也是重新認識不丹的過程。一個以自然環境和文化聞名的國家,同時也在思考,怎麼把能源資源轉化成新的產業機會。 當然,挖礦和 AI 資料中心的要求不同。有電力只是起點,網路、設備、維運和客戶需求,都會影響最後能不能做起來。也正因為如此,我想明年再去看看實際進展 🔍 這次住了 Six Senses Thimphu(廷布六善)、Amankora Thimphu(廷布安縵),還有 Six Senses Paro(帕羅六善)。每天換飯店也是蠻特別的體驗 📸🌿 🧠 這次也參與了 YZi Labs 的 EASY Residency S4 Demo Day。 這季共投資 24 家早期公司,每家 50 萬美元。看完這些團隊,可以發現不少創業方向,都圍繞著同一件事:怎麼讓鏈上的資金與工具,接進日常的商業活動。 挑幾個例子,分享給大家: 💸 支付與跨境服務 Surgepay @surgepayxyz 讓海外印度人透過 WhatsApp 支付印度家裡的帳單,背後使用穩定幣結算。 Kravata @KravataWeb3 專注拉丁美洲,協助企業接入穩定幣出入金、託管與支付服務。 這類產品能不能留住用戶,我覺得最後還是看費用、到帳速度,以及當地使用起來方不方便。底層用了什麼技術,對一般用戶未必那麼重要。 🏦 資金周轉與交易 Nara @nara_usd 為跨境支付業者提供短期流動性與融資。 Liquorice @LiquoriceHQ 讓做市商在需要成交時借入資金,減少預先分散放置資金的需求。 資金效率有改善空間,但借貸終究要看風控。規模成長時,能不能同時管理好信用與流動性風險,才是值得持續觀察的地方。 🤖 AI Agent xAPI @xapi_to 提供讓 Agent 尋找、付費與使用 API 的市場。 Roostoo @roostooAI 訓練交易 Agent,並透過競賽評估表現。 我很關注 AI 從提供資訊,走向實際執行任務的過程。不過,能完成一次示範,和能長期穩定地替人處理資金,是兩個不同的門檻。成本、權限控制,以及出錯時怎麼處理,都很重要。 🔐 隱私與財務作業 FinTax @FinTax_Official 提供數位資產的會計、稅務與合規工具。 Primus @primus_labs 建立機構鏈上活動所需的隱私基礎設施。 企業要使用鏈上金融,也需要保護商業資訊、處理帳務,並接上原有的工作流程。這些環節比較少成為市場話題,卻會影響產品能不能真正被採用。 以上是這次看到的一些方向,不代表每家公司都已經驗證了商業模式。Demo Day 可以幫助我們了解團隊想解決什麼問題,後續還是要看產品、客戶和收入。 🌏 對我而言,這趟最有收穫的,是把平常分開研究的能源、比特幣、AI 與金融應用,放到同一個地方重新思考。 明年應該還會再去,也想邀請幾家我投資的 AI 公司一起看看,了解當地的條件和可能的合作機會。 再次謝謝幣安與 YZi Labs 團隊,也期待下一次的活動。不丹,下次見 🇧🇹🤝

Innovation is not only in the Valley. Technology is supposed to be borderless. What keeps us up at @yzilabs is building a borderless incubator for frontier technologies that will enhance humanity. @EASYResidency is designed for global founders who dare to dream and stay down to earth to build, especially those who don’t have Silicon Valley founder privileges or access to capital. Flying back to Singapore on @Drukair from the foot of the Himalayas en route from India, looking to empower more founders for the next chapter.
Hot take: @yzilabs > @ycombinator For fintech and consumer finance in global markets As an SF-based founder for 10 years and an outsider to web3/crypto—I was blown away by the talent density and ambition at @EASYResidency What @ellazhang516 & @heyibinance built is exceptional

EASY Residency was never easy. The building, the pivots, the long days — none of it was. But believing in how far these founders can go? “That was EASY.” 😁 Congrats, Season 4 graduates 🎓

CZ的管理方式:“我接触的东西很多,一会这个一会那个,有些事情我说过之后就忘了。我一般不会去跟踪他。如果这个人不主动来告诉我更新,我就会忘记。但我可能两个月之后想起来,再去问他,他说‘我们做了一个礼拜之后就没有进展了’——那我会把这人开掉。” “我从来不去follow up,我是需要他们push给我。” 优秀的员工不需要培养,要做的是筛选。

“The most important quality of a founder is resilience.” — @cz_binance at @EASYResidency S4 Demo Day During his fireside with @ellazhang516, CZ shared a principle that has stayed with him since his 20s - and guided him through every cycle and challenge: When you reach life’s lowest valley, keep walking. The pressure will ease. You'll adapt. Solutions will emerge. Eventually, you find your way out.

The Convergence: Bhutan by YZi Labs 🇧🇹 Bhutan, with its long-term outlook, is a fitting place to bring founders, investors, and ecosystem partners to explore how frontier-tech theses move toward real-world adoption. Day 1: We began over dinner as guests arrived.

YZi Labs Leads FinTax Seed Round, Launching Long-Term Ecosystem Collaboration On August 27, FinTax, a provider of cryptocurrency financial and tax solutions and AI-powered infrastructure, announced the completion of its Seed funding round. The round was led by @yzilabs through @EASYResidency S4, with participation from @ambergroup_io , @hashhousetech @PundiAI ,Waverider International, and Nexus Holdings, bringing FinTax’s post-money valuation to US$40 million. Investors in previous rounds include Victory Courage, @Bgin_Blockchain , Tools Factory, and individual investor Chao Fan. In recent years, YZi Labs has continued to expand its investments across stablecoins, RWA, payments, and institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure. Building on FinTax’s expertise in on-chain data processing, crypto accounting, cross-jurisdictional tax practice, and financial auditing of crypto assets, the two parties will explore long-term ecosystem collaboration around institutional-grade financial and tax infrastructure, compliance standards, and emerging use cases such as stablecoins, RWA, and payments. The collaboration will further strengthen FinTax’s ties with YZi Labs and its broader ecosystem partners. Following the completion of this round, FinTax will accelerate the scaling of its five core product lines, expand its business from Asia-Pacific and North America into Europe and the Middle East, and deepen the application of AI in complex financial and tax scenarios. The next decade will be defined by the convergence of blockchain and legal frameworks. Across dozens of jurisdictions, FinTax will continue to advance the parallel evolution of blockchain infrastructure and legal systems, connecting on-chain economic activity with real-world financial, tax, and broader financial systems, and helping blockchain move from technological consensus toward broader social consensus.

YZi Labs Unveils EASY Residency Season 4 Cohort 24 companies just finished the program - 10 weeks, half online and half living together in Bhutan, with up to $500K per team from YZi Labs' $1B Builder Fund. It's the first global cohort to build inside Gelephu Mindfulness City, Bhutan's new sovereign tech region. The lineup has an obvious center of gravity: non-USD payment rails. Aile is building an FX layer for regional stablecoins, ViFi Labs makes markets in Naira, Real and Peso, Kravata does stablecoin accounts across Latin America, Surgepay lets Indians abroad settle bills home in rupees over WhatsApp. Nearly half the cohort is moving money in currencies that aren't the dollar - the part of stablecoin infrastructure that's barely been built. The rest splits between institutional market structure (Alloco, Primus, Liquorice, Nexroute) and AI as an economic actor (xAPI, Roostoo, Zerodrift). Worth noting what's missing: YZi pitches this as Web3, AI and biotech, but exactly one company here is biotech.

Today I stood on a stage in Thimphu and gave FinTax’s 3 minute pitch, with @cz_binance and His Majesty the King of Bhutan in the room. What we told them: 76 tax authorities have switched on crypto reporting. Platforms owe no tax. They owe data. And we deliver it, in every jurisdiction. Special thanks to @ellazhang516, who pushed us to sharpen our story until a room full of investors could feel it. And to @jeffrey_hu, @cathyincubates and the whole @yzilabs @EASYResidency team for an unforgettable 10 weeks. Demo Day done. Now we ship.
