Binance Labs Invests $4.5M in Ambit Finance for BNB Chain Development

Validated Media

The strategic investment aims to strengthen the development of truthless decentralised applications (dApp) based on the BNB Chain, formerly known as the Binance Smart Chain.

“Binance Labs is always into nurturing and making investments in promising DeFi projects. We believe that there are solutions and teams to build products that can contribute to building a trustless DeFi industry even in a turbulent market,” said Binance co-founder Yi He.

Binance and Ambit Finance to Work Together

Binance Labs said it would collaborate with Ambit Finance on several projects, including launching innovative security and risk control applications. The two companies also plan to partner with other projects in the BNB ecosystem.

According to the official announcement, Ambit will unlock new functionalities for BNB Chain users by developing a “yield-bearing BUSD-based stablecoin designed to provide sustainable yield throughout all market conditions.”

Similarly, the protocol would build a super app that would integrate existing DeFi capabilities like collateralised lending and innovative solutions for domains like under-collateralized margin lending and structured products for financial institutions.

Speaking on the latest development, Tyler Z., investment director at Binance, noted Ambit could bring mass adoption of DeFi to the BNB Chain and that users can enjoy the upcoming suite of products tailored to bring advanced lending and risk control to users in the BNB ecosystem.

Binance Labs Launches $500M Ecosystem Fund.

Earlier this year, the investment arm of Binance launched a $500 million investment fund dedicated to promising blockchain projects with growth potential. Shortly after, the firm deposited an undisclosed amount of funds to the DeFi protocol, PancakeSwap, to promote its native cryptocurrency, CAKE, which traded at around $44 at its peak in 2021.

Last month, Binance Labs made a strategic investment in a Parisian sports gaming platform dubbed Ultimate Champions (Unagi) to support its business offerings. The sports company plans to bring Web 3 sports gaming to a broader audience with a fun, accessible, and free-to-play experience.

  • Trump: Data Centers May Be More Important Than Oil

    August 7 news, U.S. President Trump said in an interview with Punchbowl News, "I saw the other day that Texas seems to be opposed to building data centers. I think that's a mistake. I'm not taking a position—I just think it's a mistake, because there are other communities that want to build data centers. When a community is willing to accept data centers, it means a lot of money will flow into that community. I don't think they're ugly. Some of the data centers I've seen are the most incredible buildings I've ever seen. They are very important to the economy. If Texas says no to data centers, that's a mistake, because data centers may be more important than oil."

  • Trump to Meet with Mining Executives

    On August 7, according to CCTV International News, US President Trump will convene executives from some of the world's largest mining companies at the US State Department on August 7 local time, in an effort to take action to 'secure critical mineral supplies for the US and its allies.' Reuters reported that the US urgently needs critical minerals to replenish weapons inventories depleted during the war against Iran. During the more than five-month war with Iran, the US military expended large quantities of precision-guided missiles and air defense interceptors. US defense officials and lawmakers have warned that given existing production capacity constraints, replenishing some stockpiles could take years—although the Trump administration has denied reports of a so-called 'severe shortage of ammunition stockpiles.' According to Pentagon officials and defense companies, supplies of minerals such as rare earths, tungsten, germanium, and scandium are essential for manufacturing precision-guided missiles, fighter jets, armored vehicles, infrared sensors, and other advanced weapons systems. Expected attendees include industry giants such as global mining giant Rio Tinto Group, Australia's BHP, US Freeport-McMoRan, US Mountain Pass Materials, US Rare Earths, US Energy Fuels, and Canada's Metals Company. According to sources, the Trump administration plans to announce multiple deals and memorandums of understanding.
