KuCoin Labs wants to support more than just metaverse projects

The crypto exchange has launched a $100 million fund to support teams looking to develop Metaverse projects. The KuCoin Metaverse Fund will also support protocols from GameFi, NFTs, decentralized infrastructure, and more. The fund will not only provide $100 million for various projects, but also promises "comprehensive support and incentives related to incubation, primary market investment, business partnerships, branding, market management, and go-to-market strategies." It will also promote mass adoption of blockchain technology, focusing on emerging markets such as South America and Africa.

KuCoin Labs was founded in May 2018 and supported early-stage projects. KuCoin Labs now has a portfolio of more than 50 projects, including Arweave, MultiVAC, CertiK, OneLedger, LUKSO, and Ankr. "As the next chapter of the Internet, Metaverse is poised to change the way we work, connect, shop, entertain and have social interactions. 'KuCoin Metaverse Fund' will be launched to accelerate the evolution of the Internet industry. We hope to mature the emerging blockchain industry by further strengthening the application of blockchain technology to the metaverse projects," said Johnny Lyu, CEO of KuCoin.

Interest in the metaverse is growing

KuCoin is no stranger to the Metaverse and recently opened a virtual office on Bloktopia's platform that is designed like a skyscraper. The virtual building has 21 different floors in recognition of its total supply of 21 million Bitcoin (BTC) and is expected to host other content creators, including Polygon and Avalanche. According to the exchange, the Meta Office will allow users to decorate cyberpunks, interact with virtual furnishings, and chat and talk to each other in the virtual environment.

The idea of a Metaverse has been around for a long time, but since Mark Zuckerburg announced that Facebook would rename itself Meta and focus on a digital world, interest in it has grown. It was already common for blockchains & exchanges to launch funds that invested in DeFi, but recently Metaverse funds have become more popular. Blockchain firm Enjin, for example, formed a $100 million fund to support projects in its ecosystem focused on developing a decentralized metaverse, and The Sandbox recently raised $93 million in a Series B funding round led by Softbank to further develop its open metaverse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
