Binance Labs recently made an investment in BounceBit, a cutting-edge Bitcoin restaking and centralized decentralized finance (cedefi) protocol. This move aims to revolutionize Bitcoin’s role in the digital asset ecosystem by introducing innovative solutions.

Yi He, Co-Founder of Binance and Head of Binance Labs, highlighted the potential of BounceBit in unlocking new opportunities for Bitcoin through the fusion of cefi and defi. The investment reflects Binance Labs’ dedication to supporting trailblazers who are reshaping the industry with secure and transparent cedefi solutions.

BounceBit’s vision is to transform Bitcoin from a passive asset into an actively engaged ecosystem participant. By allowing Bitcoin to participate in network validation and yield-generating activities without compromising its blockchain integrity, BounceBit presents a fresh approach to digital asset empowerment.

Led by a seasoned team with expertise in decentralized and traditional finance, as well as layer 1 blockchain technology, BounceBit prioritizes security and transparency. The protocol employs regulated custody and Multi-Party Computation (MPC) in addition to innovative solutions such as Ceffu’s Mirror X and off-exchange settlement to minimize counterparty risks.

Jack Lu, BounceBit’s Founder and CEO, expressed the company’s mission to build a secure and transparent restaking infrastructure for Bitcoin. By focusing on cedefi and developing a robust restaking ecosystem, BounceBit aims to drive the utilization of Bitcoin in a secure manner.

With the support of Binance Labs, BounceBit is poised to explore new horizons for Bitcoin. The protocol aims to enhance yield generation and expand the applications of Bitcoin through a secure and efficient proof-of-stake (PoS) layer 1 ecosystem.
