Yuga Labs is the studio behind Bored Ape Yacht Club, a collection of 10,000 NFTs launched in April 2021 that function as membership passes to a digital club. Its broader project roster includes Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Bored Ape Kennel Club, Ape Chemistry Club, TwelveFold, Otherside, and PROOF. Yuga Labs's tracked portfolio also includes Larva Labs, PROOF, Wagmi-san, BaronVonHustle, Hadean, tokenproof.xyz, UnicornDAO and Orange Cap Games.
Yuga Labs helped launch ApeChain in 2024 as a Layer 2 blockchain designed to power gaming, identity, culture, and commerce across the Yugaverse. In March 2022, it raised $450 million in a funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz at a $4 billion valuation. That same month, it acquired the rights to CryptoPunks and Meebits from Larva Labs, collections that held approximately $5.5 billion in combined market capitalization at the time; in May 2025, it sold CryptoPunks to the Infinite Node Foundation, retaining rights only for the CryptoPunks it held as a holder, with deal terms undisclosed. Yuga Labs has also been backed by Animoca Brands and was previously backed by FTX.
Yuga Labs has been the subject of several legal and regulatory developments. In October 2022, the SEC was reported to be investigating whether its NFTs and ApeCoin should comply with securities regulations; as of that reporting, it had not been formally accused of wrongdoing. A class-action lawsuit filed in December 2022 alleged crypto fraud and undisclosed celebrity promotion involving its NFTs or ApeCoin, which remain allegations in a civil case with no findings of liability. Yuga Labs also filed suit against Ryder Ripps and Jeremy Cahen over the RR/BAYC project; after an initial 2023 judgment in its favor, the 9th Circuit overturned the $8.8 million award in July 2025 and remanded the case for trial, finding that Yuga Labs had not yet proved buyer confusion. In April 2022, its official Instagram account was hacked, resulting in the theft of NFTs valued at approximately $3 million.
