BNB Chain Secures $50M Investment from YZi, Announces Partnership with BPN
Collaboration Aims to Develop Multi-Stablecoin Liquidity-Powered Global Settlement Layer
Key Points
- BNB Chain has partnered with Better Payment Network (BPN) to create a real-time payment layer using stablecoin liquidity.
- The partnership, funded by a $50 million investment from YZi Labs, aims to build a multi-stablecoin global settlement network.
BNB Chain has announced a significant partnership with Better Payment Network (BPN) to establish a programmable, real-time payment layer based on stablecoin liquidity.
The objective is to bridge traditional finance with on-chain systems through a unified, multi-stablecoin framework, as announced in a recent blog post.
Constructing a Novel Framework for Global Payments
The alliance, backed by a $50 million investment from YZi Labs, is committed to creating a multi-stablecoin global settlement network that does away with pre-funded accounts and replaces them with direct, on-chain transactions.
BNB Chain has committed to providing faster settlement times, increased capital efficiency, and reduced transaction costs for businesses and financial institutions.
Eliminating Obstacles from Infrastructure
BPN’s programmable payment infrastructure aims to connect centralized and decentralized finance (CeFi and DeFi) using a single layer for minting, swapping, and settling fiat-backed stablecoins.
The network links liquidity across a growing list of regional stablecoins, including BBRL (Brazilian Real), TRYB (Turkish Lira), cNGN (Nigerian Naira), MEXAS (Mexican Peso), and EURI (Euro), facilitating frictionless, real-time global settlements.
Through integrations with leading protocols on BNB, such as PancakeSwap and Aster, BPN will enable onchain arbitrage, derivatives trading, and FX hedging within a single environment.
The launch of BPN Earn, supported by Binance Earn, will allow institutions to generate yield on idle capital. Notably, BNB Chain has already surpassed $14.7 billion in stablecoin supply.
Establishing a New Standard
The $50 million raised will be used to create liquidity pools, develop initial corridors, and establish market-making mechanisms to maintain efficient onchain FX rates.
This model aims to make stablecoins the backbone of global payments by reducing costs from roughly 2% to just 30 basis points and shrinking settlement times from days to mere hours.
“This is the next step toward PayFi: a world where payments are global, instant, and open to everyone,” BNB Chain added in a post.

Multiple Factors Weigh In, Intensifying U.S. Treasury Sell-Off! 5-Year Yield Breaks 5% for the First Time Since 2007, 10-Year Yield Surpasses 5.1%
The stronger-than-expected U.S. September PMI, international crude oil prices returning above $100, and Fed governors signaling possible rate hikes have all negatively impacted the bond market. The disappointing 5-year Treasury auction has further worsened market sentiment. The psychological barrier of a 5% yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury is losing its significance as a "ceiling," with the market now starting to discuss a potential 6%. In addition to rate hike expectations, fiscal and supply pressures are also driving up long-term bond yields.
According to reports, the Trump administration considered a 90-day diesel export ban, but this was later denied, with the US Secretary of Energy openly opposing it.
On Wednesday, according to Politico, the Trump administration was preparing a 90-day ban on diesel exports. Shortly after, Reuters reported that the United States was not preparing to implement such a ban. On the same day, the U.S. Secretary of Energy stated that banning diesel exports would "definitely not work," as it would force refineries to cut production, thereby driving up gasoline and jet fuel prices. After Politico's report, U.S. diesel futures fell by more than 7% before rebounding slightly, but the losses were not fully recovered.
