CZ said that more details will be announced in the coming days, and said that the fund is open to industry co-investors.

Tron founder Justin Sun said that Tron, Huobi Global and Poloniex will support Binance in its initiative. Huobi Global also confirmed this in a tweet.

Binance's BNB Token is up 3% on the news. Bitcoin and Ether also both gained 4% after the announcement was made.
