YZi Labs Dumps $50M on BPN: Will Stablecoins Save Us From Financial Hell? 🔥

YZi Labs has led a $50 investment million in Better Payment Network, supporting its plan to build a programmable global payment layer centered on stablecoins.

Summary

  • YZi Labs dumped a cool $50M on BPN to expand stablecoin payment infrastructure on BNB Chain-because who *doesn’t* want faster payments and fewer fees? 🚀
  • BPN enables multi-stablecoin minting, swapping, and settlement via CeDeFi rails. Because nothing says “financial revolution” like more liquidity than a desert after a monsoon. 🌾
  • Funds will boost liquidity and global adoption, aligning with YZi Labs’ BNB initiatives. Because nothing bonds investors like the sweet scent of blockchain utopia. 🌍

The move marks one of YZi Labs’ largest single investments in 2025, reinforcing its focus on building real-world blockchain infrastructure. Or, y’know, just pretending we’ve invented the wheel. 🛋️

According to an Oct. 16 announcement by YZi Labs, the financing will help BPN expand its multi-stablecoin infrastructure and liquidity systems on BNB (BNB) Chain, creating faster and cheaper cross-border settlements. Imagine sending money internationally without waiting for your grandma’s snail mail! 🐌

Building global payment rails with stablecoins

BPN’s platform enables real-time minting, swapping, and settlement of fiat-backed stablecoins across multiple jurisdictions. The system’s goal is to cut fees by over 90% while reducing cross-border payment times from days to hours by combining features of decentralized finance and centralized finance. Because who needs sleep when you can optimize? 😴

The network already supports several regional stablecoins such as Brazil’s BBRL, Nigeria’s cNGN, Mexico’s MEXAS, and Europe’s EURI, helping businesses move funds quickly and at lower cost. Because nothing unites humanity like a shared currency that’s *technically* backed by real money. 💸

BPN’s CeFi layer serves licensed institutions and enterprises, while its DeFi layer, launching later this year, will allow users to trade and farm liquidity in a permissionless environment. DeFi layer dropping later this year-because why trust banks when you can trust code? 🤷♂️

YZi Labs said the investment will help BPN create liquidity pools for stablecoin corridors and build a market-making system to maintain efficient exchange rates across regions. Because nothing says “financial stability” like a pool full of money and algorithms. 🏊♂️

Expanding BNB Chain’s payment ecosystem

The investment is in line with YZi Labs’ strategy to enhance practical applications in the BNB Chain ecosystem. BPN’s approach positions stablecoins as the core settlement layer for global commerce, offering a compliant and programmable framework for cross-border payments. Because nothing says “compliance” like a blockchain that’s *also* a spreadsheet. 📊

By early 2026, BPN intends to incorporate up to 20 regional stablecoins from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Rica Fu, the project’s founder, stated that the goal is to build a system where “stablecoins become the universal standard for trust and settlement,” bringing financial institutions and merchants together via a common digital standard. Because nothing says “trust” like algorithmic money and a LinkedIn headline. 💼

YZi Labs, which manages more than $10 billion in assets, has been one of the most active investors in 2025, supporting initiatives that link crypto infrastructure with real-world finance. Earlier in October, it launched a $1 billion BNB Builder Fund for early-stage projects, and days later, it joined China Renaissance to develop a $600 million BNB-focused investment vehicle. YZi Labs, the crypto world’s most active investor, clearly has *zero* hobbies. 🎯
