The venture capital arm of the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume is announcing a new investment in a decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol.

According to a new press release, Binance Labs has invested in a layer-2 (L2) DEX called Aevo, a rebrand of Ribbon Finance.

Aevo bills itself as a high-performance derivatives DEX platform tailored for futures and perpetual contracts trading.

The decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol is built on top of the Ethereum (ETH) layer-2 protocol Optimism’s (OP) OP Stack. It acts as an off-chain order book, with orders settled on-chain on Ethereum. The protocol uses Celestia (TIA) as a high-throughput data availability (DA) layer to increase scalability. The project is also backed by Paradigm, Dragonfly and Coinbase Ventures.

According to the announcement, Aevo plans to use the investment to grow the ecosystem and its community, which already has over 50,000 monthly active users who have done more than $80 billion in derivatives volume.

“As part of the future roadmap, Aevo will launch vault strategies, yield products, and Aevo staking. It will expand its ecosystem of derivative products by allowing builders to deploy their dApps permissionlessly on Aevo L2 to leverage its growing user base and unique features.”

Binance Labs is the accelerator and venture capital arm of Binance.

Strategy CEO Announces Plan to Resume Bitcoin Purchases This Year, With Buying Volume 25 Times Selling Volume

Strategy CEO Announces Resumption of Bitcoin Purchases This Year, Buy-to-Sell Ratio at 25x In a FOX Business interview, Phong Le, CEO of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), stated the company plans to resume its Bitcoin acquisition strategy within the current year. This ends a pause in buying that began in May. Le revealed that since the start of the year, Strategy has purchased approximately 175,000 bitcoins while selling around 7,000, making its buy volume about 25 times its sell volume. The company remains the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with 840,447 BTC, representing roughly 4% of the circulating supply. Le explained that recent sales were used to fulfill capital obligations under a newly approved framework, including paying preferred stock dividends, funding share buybacks, and bolstering the company's US dollar reserves, which now stand at about $4.7 billion. This move marks a shift from the firm's previous "never sell" mantra, which had contributed to its market premium. The change in strategy and the associated financial pressures led to a significant drop in its stock price (MSTR) and a rating downgrade from JPMorgan. The CEO framed the company's role as the "JPMorgan of the crypto economy," emphasizing its long-term goal of increasing the amount of Bitcoin per MSTR share. The announcement signals the return of a major institutional buyer to the Bitcoin market, which could provide price support. It is also viewed as a micro-indicator of recovering institutional confidence, suggesting the company believes the most acute phase of liquidity pressure has passed.

ArthurHayes新文:押注日元升值,ENA未来几月或涨5至10倍

Arthur Hayes argues that the Japanese Yen is significantly undervalued and posits that its appreciation against the US Dollar is imminent. He outlines three potential mechanisms for this shift, dismissing the first two—the Bank of Japan raising interest rates and domestic institutions selling foreign assets—as politically or economically unfeasible. He identifies the third and preferred method: the Japanese Ministry of Finance (MOF) using its holdings of US Treasuries as collateral in the Fed's FIMA repo facility to borrow US dollars, then selling those dollars to buy Yen in the forex market. Hayes believes US Treasury Secretary Bessant has signaled support for this approach, which requires the Fed's Foreign Currency Subcommittee, led by Chairman Walsh, to remove lending limits on the FIMA tool. Hayes asserts that implementing this "Scheme 3" would lead to a significant expansion of US dollar liquidity. He predicts this surge in liquidity will act as a catalyst, driving up the prices of assets like Bitcoin and physical gold. Within the crypto space, he views Ethereum (ETH) as undervalued and singles out Ethena's ENA token as a speculative play with potential for 5-10x gains in the coming months, contingent on a recovery in Bitcoin basis trades that would boost demand for its USDe stablecoin. He concludes that investors should watch for the Fed's rule change as the key trigger for these market movements.
