YZi Labs has led a $50 million funding round for Better Payment Network (BPN) to accelerate the development of its multi-stablecoin payment system on BNB Chain. This investment, announced on October 16, 2025, aims to enhance digital payment efficiency by making cross-border transactions faster, cheaper, and more reliable through stablecoin integration.
BPN's platform supports real-time minting, swapping, and settlement of fiat-backed stablecoins, including regional tokens such as BBRL (Brazil), cNGN (Nigeria), MEXAS (Mexico), and EURI (Europe). The system leverages a CeDeFi approach, combining centralized and decentralized finance features, and is projected to reduce fees by over 90% while cutting payment times from days to hours.
According to BPN founder Rica Fu, the goal is to establish a framework where "stablecoins become the universal standard for trust and settlement," fostering greater adoption among businesses and financial institutions. The funding will be used to build liquidity pools, develop market-making systems, and expand support to up to 20 regional stablecoins from Asia, Africa, and Latin America by early 2026.
YZi Labs, which manages over $10 billion in assets, has been a proactive investor in blockchain infrastructure in 2025, including initiatives like the $1 billion BNB Builder Fund. This investment aligns with their strategy to boost practical applications on BNB Chain and could drive broader mainstream use of digital currencies.
