#易理华成立AI基金OpenXLabs Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua (Jack Yi) officially announced the establishment of the AI fund OpenX Labs on April 8, focusing on investing in and collaborating on AI projects. In the announcement, he mentioned a noteworthy shift in perspective: he once thought that opportunities for first-tier investments were gone, but now he corrects that idea — in the AI era, the golden age of first-tier investments has arrived.

A few key points:
• Subject background: Yi Lihua previously led LD Capital (now renamed Liquid Capital), with deep resource accumulation in the crypto primary market.
• Positioning: OpenX Labs is not a purely financial VC but emphasizes an "investment + collaboration" model, meaning it will participate in the actual development of projects.
• Track focus: Focused on AI, aligning closely with the hottest current narratives; shifting from a crypto investment institution to an AI fund is also a clear strategic focus shift.
• Timeline: Officially announced on April 8, currently in the early stages of founding, with details on fundraising and project reserves not yet publicly disclosed.
Currently, limited public information is available; the team composition, fund size, and initial investment targets have not been further disclosed.
This kind of move by "crypto veterans transitioning to the AI track" itself is also a signal — many institutions with deep roots in Web3 are re-evaluating the value window of the AI primary market. It is worth continuing to monitor the progress of OpenX Labs’ project implementation.
