- Binance Labs will rebrand in 2025 to differentiate itself from the Binance exchange.
- The firm plans to expand its investments into sectors like AI, DeFi, gaming, and biotech.
- CZ will focus on guiding investments and projects, leveraging his expertise despite his leadership ban at Binance.
Rebranding for Independence
In 2025, Binance Labs, the venture capital arm of the Binance cryptocurrency exchange, will undergo a massive rebranding. The Binance Labs rebranding will seek a clear boundary between the mother company, Binance, and Binance Labs, defining its vision and independent identity.
Part of Binance Lab’s reformation is to boost its investment strategy, including second market liquidity expansion and over-the-counter trades. This shift represents a departure from emerging blockchain projects to new sectors, such as AI, DeFi, gaming, and biotechnology.
Rebranding also fits into the trend that Binance’s founder, Changpeng Zhao, or CZ for short, is going to dedicate more time interacting directly with projects and investments. After a stint in prison as a result of charges related to violating the US CZ shall not be part of any leadership at Binance, by virtue of the Bank Secrecy Act.
CZ’s Focus on Investment Guidance
However, the man will contribute to guiding more investments into the firm, implementing all his skills and experience, which will now be directed to helping emergent projects in any niche. Of course, focusing on investment strategy will help the Binance Lab stay relevant for a long time in the continuously evolving blockchain and cryptocurrency fields.
Binance Labs was a very aggressive organization in 2024, funding 46 projects spread across various themes such as DeFi, AI, gaming, Bitcoin infrastructure, and a bunch of new-age technologies that included zero-knowledge (ZK) protocols.
It invested in diversified ecosystems like BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Berachain, among others, to have an adequately diverse portfolio. Binance Labs is still hopeful about the regulatory environment going forward to 2025 and anticipates much more institutional investment in the crypto space. Being in the best position for future growth, the firm should focus on making wider investments in innovative technologies that include underperforming sectors such as gaming and privacy solutions.
But after all these, the announcement was deleted, which raises a question: is it a rumor? Are there any issues?
