Binance Capital Connect replaces institutional crypto allocation with verified performance data

Institutional investors must hold at least $1 million in assets or VIP status to allocate capital to trading teams via Binance's relaunched Capital Connect platform. Assets remain under Binance custody and cannot be withdrawn by trading teams, eliminating custodial risk. Trading teams list strategies based on real trading activity within the Binance Portfolio Accounts system, replacing self-reported claims and pitch decks. The platform integrates Capital Connect with Portfolio Accounts to unify custody, execution, and compliance under one infrastructure. This allows investors to filter strategies by standardized metrics, including returns, Sharpe ratio, and drawdown. Trading teams must hold licenses, pass Know Your Business checks, and demonstrate active trading histories before listing. Capital Connect launched on April 8, 2024, and Binance is waiving commissions during the initial rollout.
