CapBridge comprises two divisions with regulator-approved licenses. One is intended for private investments, the other is a securities exchange called 1exchange (1X), built on the blockchain.
1X facilitates private share placements for family-owned businesses before they go public via an IPO.
“By joining forces with CapBridge, Binance will be able to work with a fully licensed firm to expand services that comply with local regulation. We foresee a long-term partnership with CapBridge aimed at diversifying our offerings for users,” said CEO Changpeng Zhao.
CapBridge CEO Johnson Chen expressed hope that, as a result of the collaboration, the regulated platform will provide Binance clients with new opportunities.
The company will announce detailed partnership plans at a later date.
Earlier, Binance launched a crypto-fiat platform in Singapore in 2019. It later updated its license to operate in the country in accordance with the Payments Services Act.
