Overview
- Bloomberg-sourced accounts say the Hong Kong-listed bank is in talks to form a publicly traded U.S. company designed to buy and hold BNB.
- YZi Labs, linked to Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, is expected to invest alongside China Renaissance with a combined seed of about $200 million, roughly $100 million each.
- BNB jumped roughly 9% to record highs near $1,366–$1,370 after the reports before paring gains, outpacing broader crypto markets.
- The plan builds on China Renaissance’s August disclosure of an initial $100 million BNB allocation and prior collaboration with YZi Labs.
- Key details remain unconfirmed, including final investor commitments, formal filings, and governance and regulatory structure, as existing public BNB treasuries include CEA Industries and Nano Labs.
