BNB Street has a nice ring to it 🔔
@BNBStandard’s Nasdaq Opening Bell ceremony put BNB on a global financial stage, introducing a public-market route for US institutions to gain BNB treasury exposure through listed equity.
Relive the moment 👇
Ninety seconds at the @Nasdaq bell. Nine years in the making.
After the bell, we gathered friends from across our ecosystem around the table with @cz_binance, @ellazhang516, @odagius and the @BNBCHAIN team.
The conversation kept returning to @cz_binance’s words: “It’s one industry.”
As more institutions and businesses embrace blockchain and bring finance on-chain, the freedom of money can become an everyday reality for more people around the world.

Congratulations to @odagius on becoming CEO of @BNBStandard (formerly BNC)👏
From Goldman Sachs to joining our five-person investment team in 2021, Alex has helped shape the BNB ecosystem across three market cycles—mentoring 10 seasons of @BNBChain MVB founders and advancing tokenized equities.
Yesterday at Money20/20, Alex told me, “Ella, we both knew this day would come, but I have to officially resign from @yzilabs today.”
We knew this moment was coming, but hearing it made it suddenly feel real. Bittersweet, of course, but above all, a moment of pride and joy.
Now, he’s taking BNB to Wall Street.
As @BNBStandard largest shareholder, @yzilabs is proud to back Alex and his vision of building the institutional gateway to BNB—with transparency, discipline, and long-term conviction.
From teammate to founder, our journey continues. 🚀
We’re excited to announce Alex Odagiu as CEO of BNB Standard (Nasdaq: BNC), effective today.
Catch him in his first appearance as our CEO live on stage at @money2020 USA in Las Vegas at 11:00 a.m. PT, in a fireside chat with Remy Blaire of @FINTECHTVglobal.

Compute is the hard currency of AI.
At SF Tech Week, we brought together founders and leaders building data centers, power, chips, neoclouds & compute markets for the AIDC Builder Dinner, with @ellazhang516 @Hui_Huangg hosting in person.
Thanks to all who made it special ✨
Could your home become a mini AI data center?
For @0x7SUN, CEO of @flock_io, inference opens up that possibility.
Large-scale training needs tightly connected GPUs in one place. Inference can be less demanding about where it runs.
His example is @gmcbhutan and its hydropower supply: run inference when power is available, and reduce computing hours during lean periods.
“There's an uptime and a lean time. But for inference, that's actually tolerable.”
He sees that opening up locations previously considered unsuitable for AI data centers - potentially even our homes.
The question is no longer just where to build the next giant data center. It’s how small and distributed AI compute could become.
🍽️ We're hosting a builder dinner at SF Tech Week!
Come connect with fellow founders & investors across AI compute, inference & infrastructure.
