Bored Ape Yacht Club creator raises $450 million
The funding round was led by Andreessen Horowitz. Other backers include MoonPay Coinbase, FTX , LionTree, Sound Ventures, Thrive Capital and Animoca Brands. The funding round is one of the largest to date for an NFT company and demonstrates institutional interest in the NFT industry.The announcement comes just a few days after the launch of ApeCoin (APE), the governance token of the NFT collection Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC). Although Yuga Labs claims they are not the creators of Apecoin, the start up has a 9.75 percent stake in the token and interestingly, backers of the funding round such as Amy Wu of FTX Ventures, Yat Siu of Animoca Brands, Maaria Bajwa of Sound Ventures are on ApeCoin DAO’s board.
Yuga Labs is working on a virtual world
Yuga Labs is also planning a virtual world focused on games called Otherside. A teaser video released last Saturday showed Yuga Labs NFTs such as Mutant Ape Yacht Club and the newly acquired CryptoPunks and Meebits, but also NFT collections not owned by the startup, such as World of Women and Cool Cat. This could indicate that this virtual world will likely be open to many other NFT collections as well.The NFT startups has been financially successful so far. According to a leaked pitch deck, the company made $137 million last year, mostly from participating in deals with its NFT brands and sales revenue from its collections, with a profit margin of a whopping 95 percent. However, it appears that Yuga Labs will need to expand into more than just NFTs in order to maintain its valuation and become something bigger by expanding into gaming and other sectors in 2022.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
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.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
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.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
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.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
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.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
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.
How often is content updated?
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.
How does the success guarantee work?
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.
