YZi Labs, founded by Binance co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao and Yi He, has launched a $1 billion fund dedicated to accelerating the growth of projects within the BNB Chain ecosystem. This initiative coincides with a surge in investor confidence for BNB token, which has recently reached record highs. The fund will focus on supporting projects across diverse sectors including DeFi, AI, real-world assets (RWAs), DeSci, and blockchain-based payments and wallets. YZi Labs believes the BNB ecosystem holds potential as a foundational layer for democratizing access, empowering AI, and advancing biotechnology. Furthermore, YZi Labs is incorporating its Most Valuable Builder (MVB) accelerator program into its Easy Residency global incubation platform to provide selected projects with up to $500,000 in funding, mentorship, and access to investors and partners. With this fund, the firm aims to further strengthen the BNB ecosystem by supporting innovative projects that contribute to blockchain innovation.
