Hong Kong-listed investment bank China Renaissance is seeking to raise $600 million to introduce a public crypto treasury focused on BNB, the native token of the BNB Chain that’s widely used for discounts on Binance fees.
The project, if completed, would mark one of the largest single bets on BNB by a publicly listed entity. The largest BNB-focused treasuries among publicly traded companies currently belongs to CEA Industries, which earlier this month raised its total token holdings to 480,000.

The proposed investment vehicle would be formed in the United States and structured as a publicly traded company, designed specifically to buy and hold BNB, Bloomberg reports citing sources familiar with the deal.
YZi Labs, the $10 billion family office of Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, plans to invest alongside the investment bank.
BNB has more than doubled in price this year, and recovered quickly from the recent $500 billion crypto market crash. Zhao’s family office reportedly continues to actively organize investor interest, recently hosting a dinner in Singapore titled “BNB Visionary Circle: Igniting the Next Trillion,” signaling ongoing appetite for BNB-centric investments.
BNB’s price has outperformed the market since, being up 5.4% in the last seven days, while major tokens including bitcoin and ether are down significantly over the period. The broader market, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index, dropped 8.45% over the last 7 days.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
