.@cz_binance at #DCBlockchain Summit: "The U.S. was built on free markets. The answer is more competition." The current administration has moved beyond expectations. As the SEC and CFTC move toward clarity, talent is returning and capital is following. The U.S. has everything it needs — the innovation culture, the VC infrastructure, the institutional capital. What it lacked was more competition: open markets that give builders and users access to the best products and prices in the world. YZi Labs is prepared for this momentum. With @EASYResidency hubs in San Francisco and New York, we're bridging global early-stage founders with U.S. capital — and giving global capital access to the best builders in the world. Come build the next chapter with us 🌍

Last week, EASY Residency hosted a closed-door workshop with @nina_rong, Executive Director of Growth at @BNBCHAIN. Key Takeaways 👇 BNB Chain is a three-part stack: → BSC: The ecosystem's foundational Layer 1 → opBNB: A Layer 2 built on the Optimism OP Stack → BNB Greenfield: A decentralized storage network The scale: → 4M+ daily active users → peaked at 31M daily transactions in late 2025 → 2026 roadmap: 20,000 TPS, sub-second finality → ~40% of global stablecoin transactions → $2.6B+ in tokenized RWAs backed by BlackRock and Franklin Templeton The AI play: → 123,000+ on-chain AI agents deployed → 3,600% YTD growth → undistrupted leader in on-chain AI agents → envision it to be the most agentic-friendly blockchain For builders: → @yzilabs' $1B BNB Builder Fund → MVB founders in EASY Residency get up to $500K in funding → Access to 460M+ ecosystem users

This week we welcomed @heyibinance, Co-founder & Co-CEO of @binance, to lead a workshop at EASY Residency S3. As she advised founders: “By seizing opportunities, pushing your team to the next level, and keeping a wide-open eye on the environment, you can navigate any market -- bull or bear -- like a sailboat catching the wind.”

Our EASY Residency S2 alum @42space has officially launched on @BNBChain! Witnessing the team’s growth has been incredible. Check them out.

@42space Congrats on the launch!! 🚀

You've been stuck in 2 broken games: - prediction markets that cap you at $1 - launchpads that never resolve 🪻Enter 42, an event-launchpad: ✧ where outcomes are liquid tokens ✧ and markets settle on truth where 1000x is structurally possible, even when you're wrong🧵

JUST IN:🪻42 is launching on @BNBCHAIN! Event markets that trade continuously as liquid tokens, and settle objectively on truth. From fixed bets to tradable information markets ✦ dynamic price paths ✦ uncapped upside ✦ enforced settlement Feb 26, 2026 Mark your calendars.

We host this every week. If you’re building at the edge, come through. 🤝 Follow us for the next one.
