The PIPE, priced above market, attracted over 140 subscribers from across the globe, including leading crypto investment firms like Pantera Capital, GSR, and Blockchain.com.<\/p>\n<p>Post-closing, CEA said that it plans to begin deploying capital into BNB.\u00a0The company\u2019s new leadership includes crypto veterans David Namdar (Galaxy Digital co-founder), Russell Read (former CIO of CalPERS and Deutsche Bank Asset Management), and Saad Naja (formerly of Kraken and Exinity).<\/p>\n<p>This pivot represents one of the first institutional-scale vehicles providing BNB exposure through public markets.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about the development, Namdar said,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBNB Chain is one of the most widely used blockchain ecosystems globally, yet institutional access has been limited until now. By creating a US-listed treasury vehicle, we are opening the door for traditional investors to participate in a transparent way.
