YZi Labs, along with a digital asset trading firm called Susquehanna Crypto, has announced further investments into Predict.fun, the prediction platform native to the BNB Chain.
The investments are for the purposes of expanding Predict.fun’s platform. The company recently acquired Probable, another prediction platform, as reported by Cryptopolitan in March.
YZi Labs doubling down on Predict.fun
YZi Labs, the CZ-backed venture capital firm, has announced a new, follow-on investment in Predict.fun, a crypto-native prediction market platform where users bet on the outcome of future events.
Susquehanna Crypto, a digital asset trading firm, is also investing in Predict.fun, but the exact amount of either investment has not been shared publicly.
Predict.fun recently graduated from the EASY Residency incubation program (Season 2). The platform has seen massive growth since then. Official data shows that Predict.fun has now processed over $1.8 billion in total trading volume. It has attracted more than 130,000 users and matched over 4 million orders. Currently, over $20 million in user funds is actively earning yield on the platform.
In the final week of 2025, weekly trading volume for prediction markets surpassed $5.3 billion. The first week of 2026 also topped $5 billion, setting new records. Major platforms like Kalshi, Polymarket, and Opinion are responsible for this growth, with Kalshi holding about 38% of the market share in early 2026.
Predict.fun acquired Probable, another prediction market that was originally incubated by PancakeSwap and YZi Labs, last month, in order to grow its user base in Asian markets.
YZi Labs’ problem with CEA Industries persists
While YZi Labs is investing heavily in prediction markets, it is facing significant trouble regarding control of its BNB treasury venture with CEA Industries.
Recently, YZi Labs sent a request to CEA Industries asking to set a record date. This would allow YZi Labs to gather votes from other shareholders to make changes to the company’s board of directors. However, on March 24, 2026, CEA Industries announced that the request was “deficient.”
The Board of Directors said YZi Labs’ request letter failed to disclose how much BNB it and its related people hold. They also said the letter did not provide details about financial relationships between itself and the people it wants to nominate for the board.
The company stated that without this information, shareholders cannot know if YZi Labs’ nominees would be independent or would just follow YZi Labs’ own interests. Therefore, the board refused to set the record date, stopping the vote for now.
This dispute has been going on for months. YZi Labs has publicly accused the former CEO of CEA Industries of treating the public company like a “personal piggy bank.”
Reports have surfaced that the company paid the departing CEO nearly $2 million in severance and millions more to an asset manager called 10X Capital. CEA Industries currently holds about 515,000 BNB tokens, but its last public purchase of BNB was in November 2025.
