Binance incubation platform has created many unicorns
Binance is mainly known for its massive spot and futures market trading volume, but its incubation arm Binance Labs has also proven to be a great platform for upcoming and new projects. Polygon (MATIC) is another prominent example of how the incubation platform has helped small crypto startups to become the giants of tomorrow.
Changpeng Zhao took to Twitter to acknowledge their latest investment and said “invest in the industry.”
