Key highlights include support for 10 projects in DeFi, 7 in AI, and 7 investments in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Notably, 14 projects emerged from Binance Labs' incubation programs, like the MVB initiative.
Vision for 2025

The group sees potential in innovations that bridge these domains, creating groundbreaking applications. Key focus areas include continued investment in blockchain/crypto, exploring decentralized AI platforms, and supporting biotech-blockchain intersection projects.
In 2025, Binance Labs aims for a broader investment approach, including secondary market opportunities and flexible arrangements that may facilitate growth.
