Investment Bank China Renaissance Plans $600M BNB Treasury With YZi Labs: Bloomberg
Hong Kong-listed investment bank China Renaissance is seeking to raise $600 million to introduce a public crypto treasury focused on BNB, the native token of the BNB Chain that’s widely used for discounts on Binance fees.
The project, if completed, would mark one of the largest single bets on BNB by a publicly listed entity. The largest BNB-focused treasuries among publicly traded companies currently belongs to CEA Industries, which earlier this month raised its total token holdings to 480,000.
The proposed investment vehicle would be formed in the United States and structured as a publicly traded company, designed specifically to buy and hold BNB, Bloomberg reports citing sources familiar with the deal.
YZi Labs, the $10 billion family office of Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, plans to invest alongside the investment bank.
BNB has more than doubled in price this year, and recovered quickly from the recent $500 billion crypto market crash. Zhao’s family office reportedly continues to actively organize investor interest, recently hosting a dinner in Singapore titled “BNB Visionary Circle: Igniting the Next Trillion,” signaling ongoing appetite for BNB-centric investments.
BNB’s price has outperformed the market since, being up 5.4% in the last seven days, while major tokens including bitcoin and ether are down significantly over the period. The broader market, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index, dropped 8.45% over the last 7 days.

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
