PANew reported on December 31 that Binance Labs announced that it will invest in 46 projects in 2024, of which 14 are from the BNB chain MVB program or Labs incubation program, and 32 are direct investments. Infrastructure and application projects each account for 50%. Investment projects cover 10 DeFi, 7 AI, 7 BTC ecosystems, 4 Restaking, 3 Gaming, 2 ZK, 2 RWA and 2 consumer applications, and there are also multiple infrastructure and emerging field investments, including Move ecology and DeSci.
The investment portfolio covers Telegram, Solana, Ethereum and major Ethereum L2, and is distributed in emerging ecosystems such as Berachain, Monad, Initia, and mature ecosystems such as Stacks, Celestia, and Bittensor. About 20% of the investment comes from BNB ecosystem projects (MVB plan).
Binance Labs said that it will focus on blockchain, AI and biotechnology in 2025, and looks forward to the innovation brought by the intersection of these three fields. As the new US government takes a positive attitude towards the crypto industry, the regulatory environment may improve, promoting institutional participation and promoting industry development. Binance founder CZ has returned to the investment field and will spend more time communicating directly with founders.
Binance Labs plans to expand its investment scope to cover various trading types such as primary and secondary markets, and continue to look for projects with practical application scenarios, strong teams and sustainable business models.
