Binance Labs announced an investment in BounceBit, a Bitcoin re-staking and CeDeFi protocol aimed at transforming Bitcoin from a passive asset to a dynamic participant in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

BounceBit seeks to leverage the potential of Bitcoin by integrating it into various revenue-generating activities without altering its underlying blockchain. The core idea of this protocol is to empower Bitcoin dominance through asset-led strategies, including fund rate arbitrage and issuing on-chain certificates for restaking and mining.

The leadership team at BounceBit brings rich experience from decentralized finance, traditional finance, and L1 blockchain technology. The protocol emphasizes security and transparency, leveraging regulated custody solutions and multi-party computation (MPC) to mitigate risks. Collaborations with Ceffu's Mirror X and OTC settlement OES solutions.

A new feature of BounceBit is its unique Proof of Stake (PoS) L1 ecosystem that incentivizes validators to stake BounceBit tokens and BTC. This dual-token system aims to enhance network security and increase utility and value by integrating Bitcoin into network operations. BounceBit will restake Bitcoin in various systems, including oracles and cross-chain bridges, to enhance network operation security and efficiency.

The founder and CEO of BounceBit stated, "Our mission is to build restaking infrastructure to drive Bitcoin utilization, and we aim to do so in a secure and transparent manner. We are focused on CeDeFi and developing a robust restaking ecosystem is just the beginning. We are grateful for the support from Binance Labs in this endeavor."
