As per the statement by Binance Labs representatives, this round is set to highlight their commitment to supporting trustless DeFi protocols in the BNB Chain ecosystem.
Ambit Finance is developed by the same team that ran Anchor Protocol (ANC), the largest DeFi on the collapsed Terra (LUNA) blockchain. Anchor allowed its users to generate a 19.5% yield on UST stablecoin deposits.
With the launch of Terra 2.0, Anchor Protocol (ANC) was exploited, as U.Today has previously covered.
Tyler Z., Investment Director at Binance, highlights that Ambit Finance’s concept looks innovative for BNB Chain’s DeFi community:
We believe this strategic investment to be an opportunity to introduce an advanced lending protocol to the BNB Chain community. We hope that Ambit Finance can bring mass adoption of DeFi, and that users on BNB Chain will be able to enjoy multiple tailored approaches to advanced lending and risk control
Unlocking new opportunities for BNB Chain
Ambit Finance will be focused on building an instrument for yield generation based on Binance USD (BUSD), a U.S.-regulated Binance stablecoin.
