While Huobi did not disclose the fund size of Ivy Blocks, it has “multibillion-dollar war chest.”

A Deloitte report found that only 8% of the 86,000 cryptocurrency projects listed on Github have been successful. In Ivy Blocks’ view, these projects fail because they lack support.

“Our focus on providing such projects with liquidity investments and incubation services will no doubt contribute towards creating a better, more inclusive DeFi and Web3 blockchain ecosystem,” Lily Zhang, Huobi’s chief finance officer, said in a statement.
