Binance: growing interest in DeFi
Binance has long been showing great interest in DeFi and its evolutions such as NFTs and metaverse. Many investments have been made in 2021, most recently the $1 million investment in ហ្គេមហ្វី Stars Sharks. In October, $5 million was invested in the startup DeFi Dodo. Also in October, Binance Labs announced a stake in ប៊ីសវ៉ាប, the first decentralized exchange with a “unique referral programme that rewards users with earnings from their arbitrages.
On the other hand, on ខ្សែសង្វាក់ Binance Smart Chain, Binance’s blockchain for dApps developers and startups, recently funded with $1 billion, projects closely related to decentralized finance are becoming increasingly important.
Clear evidence of this is that in October, Binance committed to fostering innovation within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem by setting up a $100 million acceleration fund allowing developers to create blockchain projects on Binance Smart Chain.
