Yala was co-founded by Bin Liu, Kaitai Chang, and Vicky Fu, and is affiliated with 5820 Foundation Ltd. and Yala Future Solutions LTD. The project previously operated a Bitcoin-native liquidity protocol that issued the YU stablecoin and the YBTC collateral token on Ethereum and Solana. In September 2025, an attacker extracted more than 7.6 million USDC through an unauthorized bridge exploit, causing YU to depeg, though no Bitcoin reserves were compromised. Following that incident, Yala shifted its focus to AI-native fair-value intelligence for prediction markets.
