YZi Labs invests in USD.AI stablecoin, backed by AI hardware

Overview

  • YZi Labs confirmed an investment in USD.AI, with the amount undisclosed by either party.
  • USD.AI issues a yield-bearing stablecoin backed 1:1 by loans collateralized with AI hardware such as GPUs and nodes.
  • The protocol reports roughly $62 million in total value locked alongside an AutoVaults product that manages lending flows.
  • Partnerships with K3 Capital, Concrete, Euler, and Pendle underpin liquidity and capital allocation for borrowers.
  • YZi Labs cited an estimated $6.7 trillion five-year AI infrastructure need, while reports note GPU-backed loans carry risks from price swings, depreciation, and potential obsolescence.
