On August 23, Binance Labs, the venture arm of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, announced an investment into Pendle Finance - a DeFi protocol that tokenizes and facilitates the trading of cryptocurrency yield.

"Binance Labs is always looking for projects that are spearheading innovation in DeFi sectors that will enable access to a wider audience. Pendle Finance's focus on multi-chain expansion and innovative yield strategies align with our vision for the future of DeFi. We look forward to working closely with Pendle Finance and supporting their journey of reshaping the DeFi landscape towards a more inclusive ecosystem," commented Yi He, Co-Founder & Head of Binance Labs. 

Currently, Pendle supports some 25 different pools spanning three prominent blockchain networks. Specifically, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain. Notably, a significant portion of these pools are Liquid Staking Derivative (LSD) pools that offer users novel ways to engage with staking rewards.

Pendle’s fixed yield products, in particular, could pave the way for more institutional capital to enter the space, with fixed yield often facilitating hedging strategies for professional firms. 

According to TN, Co-Founder and CEO of Pendle Finance, "We at Pendle are on a mission to redefine how yield generation is experienced by users. Our collaboration with Binance Labs brings unparalleled expertise and resources that will catalyze our growth, ultimately driving accessibility and usability of yield opportunities across numerous venues. We are excited to embark on this journey together, propelling DeFi into a new era of inclusivity and innovation,".
