Hi my friend!
Today I want to share some good news from CZ (Binance founder).
The Easy Residence program by YZi Labs (Binance’s venture investment arm) just received 400 applications for the next batch.
Each batch they only select around 20 projects, and they plan to run 4–6 batches per year.
CZ said something very interesting: “I find it easier to invest when the market is not hot.”
What he means is: when the crypto market is “cold” and there’s less hype, the real builders keep working seriously.
That’s when it’s easier to spot truly quality projects worth long-term investment. In simple terms: Bear market → filters out the real ones.
When everyone else loses interest, the people who still keep building are the ones you can trust.
Through YZi Labs, Binance is actively supporting Web3 startups, helping retain talent and building a strong foundation for the crypto industry in the long run. If you’re new to crypto, remember this: Don’t chase hype.
Look for projects with teams that “keep building” no matter what the market does!

#YZiLabs has strategically invested in #BitGo 's IPO.
#SpaceX has reached agreements with four banks to prepare for a "mega IPO."

The digital payments landscape is rapidly evolving, and YZi Labs is once again at the forefront of innovation. The venture capital powerhouse has announced a $50 million financing round in the Better Payment Network (BPN), a next-generation blockchain infrastructure designed to power borderless stablecoin payments for enterprises, payment providers, and financial institutions worldwide.

This landmark investment marks a major step toward redefining how global settlements are conducted, bridging the gap between centralized and decentralized finance through a scalable, compliant, and high-performance blockchain solution. Backed by YZi Labs and built on the BNB Chain, the Better Payment Network aims to establish a unified system that simplifies cross-border transactions, enhances liquidity efficiency, and ensures full regulatory alignment for institutional-grade use.

At its core, BPN provides a settlement layer capable of processing stablecoin payments at near-zero cost with instant confirmation times. The network is designed for real-world adoption, enabling businesses to move beyond the limitations of traditional payment rails like SWIFT or ACH while maintaining compliance with global financial standards. By integrating blockchain infrastructure with institutional-grade security and auditing features, BPN promises a payment solution that combines transparency, speed, and trust.

YZi Labs’ participation in this round underscores its ongoing mission to accelerate the adoption of blockchain-based financial systems that merge innovation with practicality. The firm has been instrumental in identifying projects that balance decentralization with compliance, making them attractive to both traditional finance entities and Web3-native institutions. According to the announcement, this investment is not merely financial — it’s strategic. YZi Labs will provide technical and ecosystem support to help BPN integrate with top-tier liquidity partners, payment processors, and DeFi applications.

The Better Payment Network is positioning itself as the backbone for enterprise-level stablecoin settlements. Its infrastructure allows payment providers to issue and settle transactions across multiple blockchains seamlessly, leveraging BNB Chain’s scalability, low fees, and interoperability. By supporting a wide range of stablecoins — including USDT, USDC, and regulated fiat-backed assets — BPN offers flexibility and accessibility for global businesses seeking efficiency in cross-border operations.

The project also emphasizes compliance, an area often overlooked in decentralized ecosystems. Through smart contract auditing, on-chain KYC modules, and transparent transaction tracking, BPN ensures that enterprises and institutions can meet regulatory standards while benefiting from blockchain’s efficiency. This positions the network as a viable solution for fintech firms, remittance platforms, and even central bank digital currency (CBDC) initiatives looking for interoperable payment rails.

Industry observers view this collaboration between YZi Labs and BPN as a crucial step in mainstreaming blockchain payments. The integration of institutional oversight, scalable blockchain infrastructure, and regulatory readiness could make BPN one of the most impactful payment protocols of the decade. The partnership also strengthens the BNB Chain ecosystem by attracting enterprise adoption and reinforcing its role as a leading chain for real-world financial applications.

As the global demand for stablecoin settlements continues to grow, initiatives like the Better Payment Network are setting the stage for a new era of programmable finance — one where businesses can send, receive, and reconcile payments across borders in seconds. YZi Labs’ strategic investment not only validates BPN’s long-term potential but also signals a growing confidence in the merging of traditional finance and decentralized technology.

With its combination of scalability, compliance, and global interoperability, the Better Payment Network is poised to redefine what institutional blockchain finance looks like in the years ahead.

#BitDegree _ Daily Squeeze

BNB might as well stand for Buy Now, Bro - cuz the bros really do be buying.
The coin hopped on a rocket and blasted straight to a new all-time high above $1.3K today.
And not only that - it surpassed XRP to become the #3 largest crypto in the world.
Soooo, what's going on?

Memecoins
BNB Chain has recently seen a whole lotta new #MEME coin projects, which attracted a whole lotta new traders, which made the prices a whole lotta higher.
You'll see that in just a second, in the Memecoin Harvest section: Binance ecosystem-related memecoins are really stealing the show.
Matter of fact, the BNB memecoin launchpad FourMeme has actually outperformed Solana's PumpFun in 24-hour trading volume.
And this whole meme hype, while speculative, has created real on-chain activity that increases BNB's demand, because every transaction on that network requires BNB to pay fees.

Aster
Then there's #AsterDEX - a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on BNB Chain.
Aster supports perpetual futures - contracts that let users speculate on crypto prices without expiration - and offers leverage up to 1,000x. Very risky, but also very attractive to high-risk traders looking for bigger returns.
It gained immediate attention after Binance founder CZ started bullposting about it.
The attention in question:
It became one of the highest fee-earning protocols on BNB Chain ($2.5M in the past day);Its token, ASTER, increased nearly 3K% in its first week.
Because Aster operates on BNB Chain, every trade and position uses BNB for fees. As Aster’s trading volume grew, so did the network's gas usage.ster’s trading volume grew, so did the network's gas usage.

Institutional interest
Companies like #CEAIndustries have begun holding BNB as part of their treasuries;
#YZILabs (a venture capital firm linked to CZ) is launching a $1B fund to support new projects in the BNB ecosystem.

All of these factors have created a rise in demand for BNB = price go up.
Looking ahead, however, the rally might cool off a bit. After such a strong move, it’s normal for prices to wobble as traders take profits.
Plus, memecoin seasons come and go - one viral week can turn into silence the next.
Still, as long as BNB Chain stays busy, the underlying demand for BNB should stay healthy.

$BNB $XRP $SOL

—Many keep saying “Binance sold all their LUNC after the 2022 crash — they have zero holdings now.”
But look at this: Even in late 2025, CoinMarketCap STILL tags $LUNC under the YZi Labs Portfolio (the rebranded former Binance Labs — CZ & Yi He’s family office).
YZi Labs Portfolio is treated as its own massive sector on CMC, dominating billions in market cap… and $LUNC is right there in the mix, often popping as a top performer (like +33% gainer recently).
If Binance/YZi had truly dumped everything and washed their hands, why would CMC keep this legacy tag active years later — through the crash, the fork, the rebrand, and all the noise?
CZ himself said back then: Binance held onto their original LUNC tokens, never sold, even as the value cratered.
And here we are in 2025 — ongoing monthly burns by Binance (billions torched), full support for upgrades, and this persistent portfolio association.
This isn’t just outdated data.
It’s a signal: The ties run deeper than people think. The original investment might be tiny in dollar terms now, but keeping $LUNC in the YZi ecosystem spotlight?
That could hint at bigger belief — or even renewed positioning — in Terra Classic’s comeback.
$LUNC isn’t dead — it’s reloading.
