Binance Labs invests in BIO Protocol to revolutionize decentralized science

Source Cryptopolitan

Binance Labs, the crypto exchange’s venture capital arm, has invested in decentralized science (DeSci) by backing the BIO Protocol. This accelerator is designed to help early-stage scientific research startups access decentralized funding opportunities.

BIO Protocol expands its BioDAO network

BIO Protocol promotes a network of Biotech Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (BioDAOs), which form communities to fund, develop, and co-own innovative pharmaceuticals and therapies. According to Binance Labs, BioDAOs solve gaps in traditional funding for rare diseases, longevity research, and emergent health concerns.

The details of the investment’s exact amount were not disclosed, but it will enable BIO Protocol to grow its network by providing seed funding for new projects and strengthening community and tokenomics support. Binance Labs’ Investment Director Andy Chang commented:

“BIO Protocol represents a significant step forward in DeSci by merging biotechnology and DeFi. At Binance Labs, we are dedicated to unlocking groundbreaking advancements that drive long-term, real-world impact by supporting projects building meaningful technology.”

Binance Labs has more than 200 projects in its portfolio, most of which contribute to the development of decentralized finance. However, some involve gaming, artificial intelligence, and other sectors. For instance, Binance Labs supports Pluto Studio, which established the popular tap-to-earn Telegram mini-app Catizen.

Binance Labs and BIO Protocol to support IP-driven DAOs

BIO Protocol’s network of eight BioDAOs had a market capitalization of $200 million in November 2023. As co-founder of the Molecule platform, BIO Protocol’s Paul Kohlhaas introduced intellectual property non-fungible tokens (IP-NFTs). The protocol supports the sale of IP-NFTs.

One of BIO Protocol’s cornerstone projects, longevity-focused VitaDAO, was founded in 2021. In February 2023, it obtained $4.1 million in funding from pharmaceutical manufacturer Pfizer and supported the launch of Matrix Biosciences in October.

According to Binance Labs, the protocol’s next batch will feature projects to find a cure for Long COVID and rare diseases and build quantum microscopes to examine quantum biological processes.

Gold hit a one-year low while central banks bought 321 tonnes — the sellers were never the ones you think Spot gold closed at 3,876 on Thursday, down 2.8% and its lowest close in more than a year, with an intraday low near 3,852. The dollar is at a 19-month high of 103.21 and the 10-year yield is at 5.10%, so the price move is easy to explain. What is harder to explain is who sold: central banks bought 321 tonnes in Q3, the PBoC added for a 24th straight month, ETF holdings are near a record 4,256 tonnes, and roughly 95% of the futures selling came from non-reportable and sovereign-type accounts rather than hedge funds. This piece separates the two books that have to balance.
