Following the announcement, the price of AUCTION Coin soared into double digits, reaching $26.44. The price had dropped to as low as $20.88 in the last 24 hours.
Why Is AUCTION Rising?

The investment made by Binance Labs, the venture capital arm of Binance, is part of its commitment to invest in the DeFi sector. Despite being a centralized exchange, the company predominantly invests in DeFi companies and projects.
Binance Co-Founder and Head of Binance Labs Yi He stated:
“BounceBit is unlocking new ways to use Bitcoin through the combination of CeFi and DeFi. At Binance Labs, we are always looking for innovators who shape the industry, and we are eager to watch them grow as they fulfill their mission to empower Bitcoin with safe and transparent CeDeFi solutions.”
BounceBit Founder and CEO Jack Lu said:
“Our mission is to build a restaking infrastructure to increase the use of Bitcoin, and we want to do it in a secure and transparent way. Focusing on CeDeFi and developing a robust restaking ecosystem is just the beginning. We are grateful for the support of Binance Labs in this endeavor.”
