Binance targets $1 billion for 'industry recovery fund'
Crypto exchange operator Binance is aiming to amass around $1 billion for its recently announced "industry recovery fund.". CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao discussed the plan on Bloomberg Television on Thursday, and a Binance spokesperson later confirmed it in a message to The Block. Binance will follow a "loose structure" for the fund where different industry players can contribute as they wish, Zhao said. Contributors will have to send funds to a blockchain address that the public can view, he added. A detailed blog post about the fund is expected to be published soon. The fund will target projects which are otherwise strong, but facing a liquidity crisis.
