Incubation, early-stage, and late-stage growth ideas will be prioritised in Binance Labs' second $500 million fund

These global investors include DST Global Partners and Breyer Capital to drive innovation across the crypto, Web3 and blockchain landscape.

CZ, CEO of Binance, emphasised the significance of a link between values, people, and economies while discussing how to accelerate the adoption of the crypto ecosystem.

The goal of the newly closed investment fund is to discover and support projects and founders with the potential to build and to lead Web3 across DeFi, NFTs, gaming, metaverse, social, and more.

The eligible startups are Grindery, NuLink Network, FilSwan, and Starton in the infrastructure sector; CODA and OpenLeverage in the DeFi sector; CoralApp, AlterVerse Inc, ChapterX, and Gamic Guild in the gaming and metaverse sector; Qwestive and Reveel in the SocialFi sector; and Playbux (MyCashBack) and Ambrosia Finance in the crypto fintech sector.
