Overview
Binance Labs is the venture capital and incubation arm of Binance, founded in 2018. It identifies, invests in, and empowers blockchain entrepreneurs and startups. The firm invests across three stages: incubation, early-stage venture, and late-stage growth, with a focus on projects that expand cryptocurrency use cases and drive the adoption of Web3. Its portfolio includes sectors like DeFi, AI, blockchain infrastructure, and gaming, with notable investments in companies such as Polygon, The Sandbox, and LayerZero.
