The system\u2019s goal is to cut fees by over 90% while reducing cross-border payment times from days to hours by combining features of decentralized finance and centralized finance.<\/p>\n<p>The network already supports several regional stablecoins such as Brazil\u2019s BBRL, Nigeria\u2019s cNGN, Mexico\u2019s MEXAS, and Europe\u2019s EURI, helping businesses move funds quickly and at lower cost. <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>BPN\u2019s CeFi layer serves licensed institutions and enterprises, while its DeFi layer, launching later this year, will allow users to trade and farm liquidity in a permissionless environment.<\/p>\n<p>YZi Labs said the investment will help BPN create liquidity pools for stablecoin corridors and build a market-making system to maintain efficient exchange rates across regions.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expanding BNB Chain\u2019s payment ecosystem<\/h2>\n<p>The investment is in line with YZi Labs\u2019 strategy to enhance practical applications in the BNB Chain ecosystem. BPN\u2019s approach positions stablecoins as the core settlement layer for global commerce, offering a compliant and programmable framework for cross-border payments.<\/p>\n<p>By early 2026, BPN intends to incorporate up to 20 regional stablecoins from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Rica Fu, the project\u2019s founder, stated that the goal is to build a system where \u201cstablecoins become the universal standard for trust and settlement,\u201d bringing financial institutions and merchants together via a common digital standard.<\/p>\n<p>YZi Labs, which manages more than $10 billion in assets, has been one of the most active investors in 2025, supporting initiatives that link crypto infrastructure with real-world finance. Earlier in October, it launched a $1 billion BNB Builder Fund for early-stage projects, and days later, it joined China Renaissance to develop a $600 million BNB-focused investment vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YZi Labs has led a $50 investment million in Better Payment Network, supporting its plan to build a programmable global payment layer centered on stablecoins.
