The Binance Labs project started in 2018 and has provided funding to over 100 cryptocurrency projects to date. The venture capital arm of Binance has recently secured $500 million in investment funds from institutional investors, such as Whampoa Group, DTS Global Partners and Breyer Capital.
The incubator is actively using the funding raised to support more projects, especially in the Web3 industry. In September, it boosted its strategic investment in Aptos Labs, a technology-driven blockchain firm focused on user security. In October, Binance Labs led the pre-seed funding round for Ancilla, Inc., an automated treat detection in the blockchain space solution.
The company's latest investment is NGRAVE, a secure hardware cryptocurrency wallet maker. NGRAVE ZERO is the only crypto wallet that has obtained the highest possible certification of security, EAL7.
