Hong Kong, March 3, 2026 — Hash Global, Asia's leading digital asset management firm, announced that its newly established BNB Yield Fund institutional version — BNB Holdings Fund has secured an additional $100 million strategic support from YZi Labs.

This follows YZi Labs' previous support for Hash Global's launch of the BNB Yield Fund targeting traditional distribution channels and individual investors, further strengthening their strategic partnership. This additional investment not only reflects the deepening relationship between the two parties but also signifies the formal entry of BNB's institutionalization process into a stage of structural deepening.

From Asset Allocation to Ecosystem Participation

As one of the world's largest blockchain networks, the BNB Chain has over 5 million daily active users and 760 million unique addresses. The entire BNB ecosystem serves over 500 million people globally, built on industry-leading platforms such as Binance and CoinMarketCap, supplemented by top Web3 wallets such as Trust Wallet and SafePal, supported by powerful decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols such as PancakeSwap and Aster, covering hundreds of innovative decentralized applications (dApps) and infrastructure projects spanning multiple areas including real-world assets (RWA), AI integration, payments, stablecoins, prediction markets, and more. As the core value carrier underpinning this vast network, BNB has firmly held its position as one of the top four digital assets by global market capitalization.

Through the BNB Yield Fund, Hash Global has introduced BNB ecosystem returns into the traditional investment system in a secure, compliant, low-cost, and flexible manner, realizing the institutional transfer of Web3 ecosystem returns to off-chain capital and validating it at a systemic level.

The newly established BNB Holdings Fund continues the same core strategy but is designed for institutional investors. Institutions participating in this fund can not only allocate BNB in an institutional manner but can also enter the long-term co-construction of the BNB ecosystem through a capital link, participating in ecosystem collaboration and business implementation in the context of the "everything on-chain" digital economy, thereby establishing a long-term linkage mechanism between asset allocation and ecosystem development.

Institutional Architecture and Value Loop

Through an institutional-grade custody architecture, a transparent revenue-sharing mechanism, and an auditable compliance arrangement, the BNB Holdings Fund enables traditional institutions to safely and stably share the economic benefits of BNB ecosystem growth within a regulated and controllable framework without directly engaging in on-chain operations.

Within this structure, capital and the ecosystem form a clear value loop: institutional capital participates in and drives on-chain assets and businesses, fueling on-chain real economic activity growth; ecosystem vitality enhancement strengthens BNB's value support; asset value appreciation enhances institutional return capabilities and promotes long-term capital accumulation; the presence of stable capital further supports ecosystem expansion, thus forming a self-reinforcing positive cycle.

Structural Characteristics of the BNB Institutionalization Path

In the digital asset market, the institutionalization path has gradually presented different paradigms: Bitcoin achieves asset securitization through ETFs, and ETH achieves network revenue distribution through staking mechanisms.

In contrast, the BNB ecosystem combines the liquidity network of the world's largest digital asset exchange with a highly active on-chain system, serving as a critical liquidity and real business activity infrastructure platform in the industry. After years of development, BNB has formed deep integration with various aspects of the ecosystem, becoming a core asset driving the digital financial system.

Therefore, the institutionalization path of BNB is not limited to financial productization, nor is it equivalent to passive income generation, but is a development logic centered on ecosystem co-construction. In this model, institutions are not only asset holders but also significant participants in ecosystem expansion and value creation, constituting the fundamental difference in institutionalization logic between BNB and BTC and ETH.

Dual Perspectives

Ella Zhang, Head of YZi Labs, stated:

"BNB has grown into a core asset with attractive yield, continuously supporting the evolution of future financial infrastructure. We are excited to support Hash Global in launching the BNB Holdings Fund, providing a tool for traditional institutional investors to efficiently allocate BNB and earn structured returns, helping them directly participate in the rapid growth and long-term development of this ecosystem."

KK, Founder of Hash Global, stated:

"BNB's institutionalization should not only be understood as asset inclusion in portfolios but should be seen as a structural upgrade where capital and the ecosystem form a long-term synergistic relationship. The ecosystem co-building path is the core feature that sets BNB apart from other digital assets."

YZi Labs' $100 million additional strategic support further confirms that BNB is forming an institutionalization paradigm with its own structural characteristics. As institutions transition from mere investors to ecosystem participants, BNB's institutional era enters a substantive stage."
