He Yi shouted, "BNB is going to create a prediction market": welcome professional frens to participate, led by YZi Labs.

BNB Chain announced a $1 billion fund to support prediction markets, with Binance executive He Yi publicly inviting participation, as the Chinese community gains a new track opportunity. (Background: Is the black swan trader behind Binance's liquidation Garrett Jin?) (Supplementary background: Binance released a statement on volatility compensation and clarification: the drop to zero was a display issue, with the specific decline occurring before the depeg.) In the hot cryptocurrency market of autumn 2025, a conversation on October 13 on the X platform made “prediction markets” the next focus for BNB Chain. Paramita's investment director pointed out that Chinese users want to bet on “local matters” but lack a good platform, missing opportunities to participate in Web3 experimental fields, from when CZ is mentioned by the media again to the pricing of Xiaomi's new car and Spring Festival travel numbers. Just as he finished speaking, Binance co-founder He Yi promptly replied, inviting developers to bring prediction markets to BNB Chain, promising support from YZi Labs. She openly stated: “We welcome professional frens to create a prediction market on the BNB Chain, supported by YZi Labs.” Funding Horn: $1 Billion BNB Builder Fund Launched In October this year, YZi Labs announced the establishment of the $1 billion “BNB Builder Fund,” targeting DeFi, real-world assets (RWA), artificial intelligence, decentralized science (DeSci), payments, wallets, and prediction markets among other fields. According to CoinDesk reports, this fund will be used for equity and token investments and will provide technical consulting and liquidity support. The outside world believes this is a continuation of Zhao Changpeng (CZ)'s vision emphasizing “Web3 + AI + biotechnology” after his return, creating abundant ammunition for BNB Chain's expansion. On-chain Indicators: Capital and Traffic Rising in Sync Capital is quickly reflected in on-chain data. Over the past three months, BNB Chain attracted a net inflow of capital amounting to $182 million; trading volume on DeFi flagship PancakeSwap has significantly rebounded, and the meme coin craze has further pushed BNB prices to the range of $1,300 to $1,315. According to Galaxy Research analysis, BNB Chain has become the third-largest public chain with a market capitalization of $182 billion, with active users primarily from Asia. Most observers attribute this wave of rise to ecological diverse adoption and speculative trading, but it also shows the market's open attitude toward new applications. BNB Chain is fast, has low transaction fees, and has integrated a large number of liquidity pools and oracle machines, meeting the needs of automated market makers (AMM) and order book models necessary for prediction markets. An official blog post pointed out that compared to Polymarket, which has monthly trading volumes exceeding $2 billion, BNB Chain remains a blue ocean for everyday topics such as “Xiaomi car pricing” or “food delivery wars.” Blockworks research also mentioned that global investors' demand for betting on real-world events is rising, but most projects are still in the conceptual stage. Next Steps: From Potential Stocks to Blueprint Core With the call from the Chinese community and the backing of the $1 billion fund, prediction markets are seen as the next growth engine for BNB Chain. YZi Labs has invested in the ecosystem's prediction platform Opinion, which is set to launch a mainnet points program to pave the way for large-scale launches in the future. Although in the short term, BNB price fluctuations and prediction markets have no direct linkage, the alignment of capital, technology, and user demand is gradually occurring. For developers, this represents a lower entry threshold; for investors, it means more quantifiable growth tracking indicators. Whether BNB Chain can transform “local matters” into a new way of playing in Web3 and further expand its user base will be a significant test of its execution capability. This conversation that started on the X platform has now evolved into a triple resonance covering capital, technology, and community. If BNB Chain can seize this demand, prediction markets may become the next critical pivot in defining the competitive landscape of public chains.
