As 2024 comes to a close, Binance Labs reflects on its investment activities for the year and looks ahead to its strategic direction for 2025 and beyond. In 2024, Binance Labs invested in 46 projects, with 14 from its BNB Chain-focused MVB program and incubation initiatives, and 32 from direct investments. These investments were evenly split between infrastructure and application sectors, demonstrating Binance Labs' commitment to long-term growth.
Looking ahead to 2025, Binance Labs will focus on key areas including crypto/blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and biotechnology, with particular attention to innovations emerging at the intersection of these fields. Additionally, sectors that have underperformed in recent years, such as gaming, zero-knowledge (ZK) technologies, and privacy solutions, are expected to see a resurgence as these technologies move from development to production, creating new business opportunities.
Binance Labs emphasized its ongoing support for innovative projects, helping drive the industry forward. Established trends like DeSci (Decentralized Science), real-world assets (RWAs) and stablecoins, and AI agents are expected to continue gaining momentum, further advancing the development of the industry.
