Binance to List BIO Protocol, Bridging CeFi and Decentralized Science
Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is introducing a new token as part of a decentralized science initiative.
The platform’s Launchpool feature, which allows users to stake coins and farm new assets, has chosen BIO Protocol (BIO) as its 63rd project. BIO aims to revolutionize biotechnology by enabling collective funding and the tokenization of biotech ventures.
BIO Protocol is designed as a curation and liquidity platform for decentralized science (DeSci). It seeks to accelerate advancements in biotechnology by allowing global communities of patients, scientists, and biotech professionals to collaboratively fund and build tokenized biotech projects and intellectual property (IP). The team behind BIO previously helped launch Molecule, a platform for tokenizing early-stage biomedicine, and VitaDAO, a leading decentralized community focused on longevity science. BIO builds on these achievements, offering a decentralized funding and incentive model to support an on-chain scientific economy.

Starting Tuesday, Binance Launchpool will offer support for BIO, with spot trading expected to begin on January 3, 2025. The project’s founder, Paul Kohlhaas, expressed excitement about the listing on social media, emphasizing BIO’s role as a liquidity bridge from centralized finance (CeFi) into decentralized science.
Binance will label BIO with a “seed tag,” indicating that it is a lower-liquidity asset, which may be more volatile than other tokens. As part of Binance’s risk management, users holding assets with a seed tag must complete quizzes every 90 days to acknowledge the associated risks before trading the token.
