LAIYEPLUS LIMITED

Thesis

LAIYEPLUS LIMITED, now known as LYPEX, was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in New York. The company leverages AI, Big Data Processing, and Cloud Computing to create trading automation tools, strategy customization platforms, and real-time data analytics. Their investment thesis focuses on using AI to boost trading efficiency, precision, and intelligence across various asset classes like stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies. LYPEX also supports blockchain features, including DeFi integration and trading of tokenized assets, and is developing a quantum-inspired algorithmic trading engine. The platform caters to a diverse user base, from hedge funds to retail traders, emphasizing efficiency, precision, and intelligence. They have partnerships with MetaTrader, Binance, and Kraken for global, low-latency connectivity. While LYPEX itself is a platform provider and not a traditional investment firm, its parent company, Laiye, founded in 2015, has raised significant funding, including $211 million across 7 rounds, with a Series C+ round of $50 million in April 2021. LYPEX serves over 10,000 retail users and hundreds of institutional partners globally, with a presence in Hong Kong. The company's own solutions have demonstrated performance, such as a 'Trade Smart' bot achieving a 15% annualized return in crypto and 'Trade Pro' reducing hedge fund drawdowns by 30%.
