Binance Introduces Fund Accounts for Enhanced Management
In a significant move for fund management in the crypto sector, Binance has launched an innovative feature called Fund Accounts. This new offering is touted as "the first digital asset exchange technological solution for fund managers to facilitate pooling of their investors’ assets."
Historically, fund managers faced challenges when managing investors’ assets separately across multiple trading accounts. Binance’s Fund Accounts introduce a more streamlined, plug-and-play account infrastructure similar to that found in traditional finance. This feature enables managers to consolidate externally raised funds into one or more omnibus Fund Accounts aligned with specific trading strategies.
According to Catherine Chen, Head of Binance VIP and Institutional, this development addresses the need for efficient and scalable solutions that allow fund managers to focus on strategy execution and effective capital deployment rather than getting bogged down in administrative overhead.
PancakeSwap Achieves Unprecedented Trading Volumes
PancakeSwap, a multi-chain decentralized exchange (DEX), has reported a record-breaking trading volume of $205.3 billion in the first quarter of 2025. This figure marks the platform’s best quarter since its inception in 2020, showcasing a significant increase in trading activity.
The latest statistics reveal that the number of unique traders reached 5.83 million during this period, a stark rise from 3.2 million in the same quarter the previous year. In addition, transaction counts surged from 44.1 million in Q1 2023 to 114.4 million in Q1 2025, representing a remarkable 159% increase.
PancakeSwap’s growth is attributed to its evolution from a basic automated market maker (AMM) on the BNB Chain into a comprehensive DeFi ecosystem, now operating on multiple chains. The exchange is currently gearing up for the release of PancakeSwap Infinity, building on its momentum in the market.
