- YZi Labs launches $1 billion fund for BNB ecosystem development.
- BNB Coin surpasses XRP in market cap.
- Institutional interest grows with new treasury allocations.
Changpeng “CZ” Zhao’s YZi Labs unveiled a $1 billion Builder Fund on October 7, 2025, to enhance the BNB ecosystem as Binance Coin overtakes XRP in market capitalization.
The fund underscores BNB’s growth potential, attracting institutional interest and fostering innovations in DeFi and DeSci, as seen in daily transaction peaks and a surge in BNB’s market value.
YZi Labs’ $1 billion Builder Fund aims to accelerate growth in the BNB ecosystem, particularly on the BNB Chain. This initiative aligns with Binance Coin (BNB) surpassing XRP in market capitalization and daily transactions.
The fund was launched by Changpeng “CZ” Zhao’s family office, YZi Labs, after he stepped down as Binance CEO. Ella Zhang, YZi Labs’ president, emphasized their commitment to developing products with utility and longevity.
The fund’s creation has elevated investor confidence and spurred interest across the crypto ecosystem. BNB Chain‘s on-chain activity reflects this, registering an all-time high of 26 million transactions in a single day.
Financial implications are evident as public companies, like China Renaissance, allocated substantial BNB treasuries, demonstrating institutional adoption. BNB’s price significantly rose, reinforcing its position in the crypto market.
Market dynamics could shift as capital migrates from Ethereum to BNB projects, affecting liquidity. YZi Labs‘ fund, intended for projects like DeFi and AI, encourages impactful developer participation.
The initiative could change financial, technological, and regulatory landscapes, as BNB commits resources to its ecosystem. Historical parallels include previous Binance Labs activities leading to enhanced token prices and adoption in specific sectors.
Ella Zhang, President, YZi Labs, “Through this $1 billion BNB Creator Fund, YZi Labs is committed to supporting BNB creators across DeFi, AI, RWA, DeSci, and more, as these organizations build the next generation of open systems that connect technology back to human development.”
