BPN intends to allocate the money towards onchain liquidity pools and market-making infrastructure to facilitate transactions in stablecoins-to-stablecoins. The company said it wants to simplify payments across emerging markets where access to efficient banking remains limited. The network focuses on enabling real-time minting, swapping, and settlement of fiat-backed stablecoins.

BPN’s hybrid system merges centralized and decentralized finance models, which allows faster and cheaper transactions across jurisdictions. The platform operates on BNB Chain and provides users with instant payment capabilities. Dana H., Investment Partner at YZi Labs, said the company’s goal is to support scalable and efficient payment ecosystems. “BPN creates a seamless and efficient payment network that can outperform traditional players,” she said in the announcement.

The grants also point to the increasing use of CeDeFi systems that have integrated both traditional financial compliance and decentralized innovation. Under this model, BPN should aim at minimizing costs, increasing the speed of cross-border transactions, and enabling businesses and users to transfer value through fewer barriers.

YZi Labs Invests to Cut Settlement Time and Transaction Costs

The hybrid model of CeDeFi introduced by BPN aims to fix the old inefficiencies in cross-border payments. Conventional fintechs rely on pre-funded accounts to preserve liquidity, which locks up funds and slows processing. BPN replaces that approach with real-time stablecoin issuance, freeing up funds and enabling faster settlements.

According to the company, the new system can shorten settlement times from two days to just a few hours. It also reduces transaction costs from roughly 2% to about 0.3%.

The founder of BPN, Rica Fu, indicated that the multi-stablecoin liquidity model presented by the BPN company is a more inclusive and flexible approach to dollar-based systems. The platform facilitates the transfer between various corridors, such as Brazil, Nigeria, Mexico, and the Eurozone. Such markets are prone to liquidity difficulties and excessive remittance charges, so the BPN model would be an effective option for enterprises and licensed payment institutions.

The company integrates a compliance-oriented CeFi layer and DeFi automation to provide security and transparency. Every transaction is KYC-compliant, and it assists institutions in operating within the legal framework and enjoying the benefits of the cost and speed of blockchain networks. The YZi Labs investment will enable BPN to scale this infrastructure and increase its worldwide presence. Meanwhile, YZi Labs has also launched a $1 billion builder fund to support projects across the BNB Chain ecosystem.

BPN Plans DeFi FX Market to Broaden Stablecoin Reach

The company intends to introduce a decentralized foreign exchange (DeFi FX) market before the end of the year. The new platform will facilitate up to 20 regional stablecoins in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Users will have the opportunity to exchange stablecoins, offer liquidity, and receive yield without intermediaries.

This project will increase the reach of BPN in the international payments market and contribute to the wider adoption of stablecoins in emerging markets. The permissionless system will enable businesses and persons to enjoy easier access to cross-border liquidity. YZi Labs considers the growth as an extension of its larger strategy to build a stablecoins-based next-generation financial infrastructure.
