Crypto Exchange Binance Discloses Investment in L2 DEX Protocol Aevo - The Daily Hodl

cryptodailyPublished on 2024-05-14Last updated on 2024-05-21

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.

How Does the Overtaken Central Province Plan to Tackle the 'K-Shaped Divergence'?

In the first half of the year, Anhui overtook Hunan in GDP rankings, entering the national top ten. Anhui's growth, driven by high-tech manufacturing and foreign trade, contrasts sharply with Hunan's slowdown, which is attributed to struggles in transitioning from traditional industries like construction machinery to new growth engines. While Hunan boasts strong educational resources, it faces a "strong research, weak industry" mismatch. Recent leadership inspections emphasized dual-track efforts: upgrading traditional sectors through AI and intelligent manufacturing, and fostering future industries like embodied AI and quantum technology. Experts suggest Hunan must avoid a "break then build" approach, instead consolidating its core industrial base while rapidly scaling up new technologies. The province is encouraged to enhance cluster collaboration within its flagship engineering machinery sector and improve the commercialization of research to close the developmental gap with neighbors like Anhui and Hubei.

As the Crypto Market Cools, How is Neutrl Turning Tokenized Stocks into a New 'Yield Farm'?

As crypto markets cool, Neutrl explores turning tokenized stocks into a new yield source. The protocol focuses on delta-neutral strategies, shifting from crypto-native yields (like funding rates) which thin during downturns, to opportunities in pre-IPO and locked-up shares. The supply of these shares follows corporate calendars (IPOs, employee unlocks) independent of crypto cycles. Neutrl's strategy involves purchasing locked shares at a discount (e.g., 15%) and hedging by shorting equivalent perpetual futures. This creates a market-neutral position. During the lock-up period, the short position can earn significant funding rates from the nascent stock perpetuals market. A representative six-month trade could yield ~20.5%: ~15% from the entry discount and ~5.5% from funding rates, regardless of the stock's price movement. The opportunity is large, with the eligible locked stock pool estimated at 4.5x the size of filtered crypto unlock pipelines. As tokenization expands to assets like commodities and rates, each new market with liquid shorting tools can apply this same arbitrage framework, offering yield uncorrelated to crypto volatility.

In Just 6 Months, 4 Rounds of Funding: West Lake University Professor's Venture Takes Off

Westlake Robotics, an embodied artificial intelligence company, has completed its Series A financing round within just six months and a total of four rounds, raising a cumulative 5 billion RMB. The investor lineup includes prominent institutions such as SAIF Partners, Xiaomiao Langcheng, Henan Investment Group Huirong Fund, and Haiyuan Fund, forming a high-quality capital matrix comprising state-owned, industrial, and leading venture capital. The rapid and intensive capital injection reflects strong market confidence in the company's technological approach, product deployment capabilities, and long-term potential. The newly acquired funds will be primarily allocated to the research and development of a unified large model for humanoid robots and the establishment of a talent cultivation base for embodied AI. Founded in 2024, Westlake Robotics originated from the industrial transformation of pioneering achievements in AI and robotics at Westlake University. The founding team is led by Wang Donglin, a leading figure in China's embodied AI and robot learning field, and co-founder Zhang Yue, an expert in natural language processing. The core R&D members hail from top-tier tech companies like Alibaba, ByteDance, Tencent, and Huawei, as well as prestigious global universities. The company follows a fully self-developed strategy integrating a "universal brain + humanoid body-specific cerebellum + proprietary humanoid hardware." It is one of the few domestic enterprises capable of holistically connecting the three core areas of embodied AGI cognitive reasoning, full-body motion control, and humanoid hardware. Its proprietary technologies include the General Motion Model-GAE system for low-latency teleoperation and motion generalization, and a dual pre-trained architecture for general and body-specific processing to bridge cognitive reasoning and physical movement. In 2026, Westlake Robotics launched its self-developed humanoid robot "Westlake o1," completing the full technology chain from underlying algorithms to pre-trained models and hardware. The company has secured nearly 100 million RMB in orders, with applications in scientific research, education, data collection, and power inspection. Future targets include high-risk industrial inspection, post-disaster search and rescue, and remote precision assembly. The company has also partnered with the Longyou County government to establish a county-wide real-scenario training base for humanoid robots, aimed at collecting high-quality motion data and validating technology in authentic environments. With the latest funding, Westlake Robotics plans to further advance its core model development and talent acquisition strategy, accelerating progress toward the "GPT moment" for embodied intelligence in China.

Volatility Plummets to Historic Lows, When Will Bitcoin's 'Summer Sideways Move' End?

Bitcoin is experiencing a classic summer of stagnant price action, trapped in a tight range between approximately $62,000 and $66,000. Analysts point to historically low implied volatility and thin summer liquidity as key characteristics of the current market. The consensus among traders is that the catalyst for a decisive breakout will come from macroeconomic factors, not internal crypto dynamics. The immediate focus is on upcoming U.S. CPI data, which could influence Federal Reserve policy expectations. A softer inflation print is seen as potentially supportive for risk assets like Bitcoin. Furthermore, the pending *Clarity Act* legislation is identified as a crucial long-term catalyst that could boost institutional participation by providing regulatory clarity. While U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, led by BlackRock's IBIT, have seen their strongest inflows since April, providing underlying support, this buying pressure is being offset by selling from miners and other large holders. This has resulted in continued consolidation even as global crypto trading volumes hit multi-year lows. Market participants expect the range-bound, low-volatility environment to persist for several more weeks, at least until there is clearer progress on macro policy or regulatory fronts. Any sustained break above or below the current range is likely to trigger a significant expansion in volatility. Long-term bullish narratives around adoption, institutional demand, and Bitcoin's unique attributes as collateral remain intact, but the short-term path depends on external macroeconomic catalysts.

Predicting the Dormant Period of Market Heat, Polymarket Prepares a Killer Move to Catch Up with Kalshi

Following a period of lower trading activity after the World Cup and during a sports offseason, Polymarket is restructuring in preparation for upcoming major sports events and the US midterm elections in November. Key personnel changes include the appointment of Travis VanderZanden, former Bird founder and Uber/Lyft executive, as Chief Growth Officer to oversee marketing. The company has also hired executives from Robinhood, Coinbase, Nasdaq, and the FBI to strengthen compliance, risk management, and regulatory functions. This push supports Polymarket's renewed focus on the US market after its 2022 exit due to regulatory issues. Its US re-entry accelerated with the 2025 acquisition of licensed exchange QCEX, rebranded as Polymarket US. After launching on iOS in May, a web version recently went live. Trading volume on Polymarket US has surged, growing from $1.77 billion in May to approximately $5 billion in July. This represents 62% of the international platform's volume, up from just 25% two months prior. VanderZanden's immediate task involves addressing past marketing controversies, including CFTC investigations into promotional practices that used simulated trades. The company has since reformed its marketing rules and partner vetting. Despite rapid growth, Polymarket US still trails the US prediction market leader, Kalshi, which saw about $37.7 billion in July volume compared to Polymarket's combined ~$13 billion. Kalshi's valuation also significantly outpaces Polymarket's. The coming autumn, with its slate of sports and political events, presents a critical test for Polymarket's US expansion and its ability to close the gap with Kalshi.
