Cryptocurrency should be the most native way for AI Agents to conduct cross-border payments. Regarding RWA, CZ mentioned that a year ago he believed RWA was overvalued, but he has changed his view; RWA is real and currently undervalued.

YZi Labs accuses CEA Industries of systemic governance failures, condemning its payment of nearly $1.98 million in severance compensation to the departing CEO.YZi Labs issued a statement in response to CEA Industries (NASDAQ: BNC) filing its 10-Q and 8-K forms on March 16, 2026. The statement pointed out that BNC's SEC filings disclosed significant deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting, as the previous CEO also held the position of Chief Financial and Accounting Officer, and the company lacked adequate verification controls in key areas such as revenue, taxes, and equity compensation.YZi Labs estimates that the total value of the transition agreement for departing CEO David Namdar is approximately $1.98 million, including $375,000 in retroactive consulting fees, about $276,000 in future monthly consulting fees, approximately $434,300 in cash payments in lieu of an unapproved equity plan, and a $900,000 one-time payment tied to restrictive clauses. YZi Labs believes that the restrictive clauses included in the agreement prohibit Namdar from assisting shareholders in making any claims or taking actions that influence management, essentially serving as a tool for control struggle.The statement also noted that BNC paid $2 million in fees this quarter to an asset management entity controlled by sitting director Hans Thomas, totaling $3.8 million since June 7, 2025. Additionally, there is an issue in the 10-Q form regarding the inability to reconcile the exercise data for 17,648 stock warrants.YZi Labs investment partner Alex Odagiu stated that the board transferred millions of dollars to related parties without holding an annual shareholder meeting or obtaining shareholder approval. YZi Labs demands that the board publicly explain the rationale for the severance compensation, release a plan to rectify the significant deficiencies, and disclose the full scope of the restrictive clauses in the transition agreement.

Silicon Valley-based industrial robotics company RoboForce announced the completion of a $52 million oversubscribed financing round, bringing the total funding amount to $67 million. This round of financing was led by YZi Labs, with participation from Yahoo co-founder and former CEO Jerry Yang. Additionally, existing investors including Nobel Laureate Myron Scholes, Qiming Venture Partners founding partner Gary Rieschel, and Carnegie Mellon University also continued to participate. The new funds will be used to accelerate the development of the company's next-generation robotic foundational models, promote the scaling of general-purpose Physical AI robots, and advance manufacturing capabilities to prepare for commercial deployment.The industrial sector is currently facing a continuously expanding labor gap: many physically demanding, repetitive, and safety-risk jobs still rely on increasingly scarce human labor, leading to extended project cycles and increased safety risks. RoboForce's solution aims to take on these high-risk, monotonous jobs, with application scenarios including large solar power plants, data centers, mining, shipping, manufacturing, and logistics in various industrial environments.

According to GlobeNewswire, YZi Labs issued a statement indicating that a lawsuit filed by investor Abraham Gomez against the Nasdaq-listed company CEA Industries and its director Hans Thomas shows that the company is almost in an "operational vacuum," lacking a CFO, COO, operational or marketing teams, and even a fund management system, with no registered domain name or functional website.YZi Labs pointed out that this situation highlights the failure of the CEA Industries board's oversight, and that while signing a 20-year asset management agreement with 10X Capital Asset Management to manage substantial funds, it has not established basic corporate governance and operational infrastructure. Therefore, it demands that the board publicly respond to the related allegations, establish an independent committee to investigate Hans Thomas, and terminate the agreement signed with 10X Capital Asset Management.
