Binance Labs closed a $500M investment fund, the company announced. One of the fund's major backers is Breyer Capital, backed by DST Global Partners. Limited partners included other prominent private equity firms, family offices, and companies. The fund will be for projects that'll broaden the scope of cryptocurrency applications. It'll also help promote the use of Web3 and blockchain networks. Changpeng Zhao says there were suggestions for a Web3 setting. For instance, the link between people and businesses is crucial.
It will speed up the widespread adoption of blockchain technology and cryptos. But, that's if these three aspects come together to establish an environment. It's an investment fund to help projects and innovators build and lead Web3 projects.
Binance Labs funded and incubated over 100 businesses, all of which are from over 25 countries since its start in 2018. Elrond Axie Infinity, Optimism, Injective, and Polygon are some of the crypto projects in its portfolio. STEPN is the latest addition to the company's roster. For Binance Labs, there are 3 rounds of investment. They are incubation, early-phase venture, and late phase growth. Projects can gain from the tools, expertise, and mentorship of Binance Labs incubation. They designed them to help people create and expand their businesses.
Binance Labs' Incubation Program operates, and there's support for the fourth batch. Early-stage ventures include token and capital investments across all cryptos and Web3 industries. The Binance platform serves as a great strategic partner for late-stage growth funds. It aims at more mature enterprises to grow or cross into the Web3 network. They'll share the $500M investment fund launched today throughout all stages of development.
