Backed has extended its native token issuance to include the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) to bring our products to a wider audience and give our clients the flexibility to choose the blockchain that works best for their use case.&nbsp;   
Backed is on a mission to bring off-chain assets onto crypto rails. We issue ERC-20 tokens – or equivalent on other chains – that track the value of treasury and corporate bond ETFs as well as stocks. The tokens are freely transferable across wallets, fully collateralized by the underlying assets, and issued in compliance with Swiss regulations – which is at the forefront of blockchain technology regulation.   
One of BNB Chain’s main value propositions is its community, as it is the world’s largest smart contract blockchain by&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/nansen_ai/status/1667129159435337728" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">daily active users</a>. This integration provides a large and active user base, enhancing liquidity and market access for our products. BNB Chain offers significantly lower transaction fees compared to the Ethereum network, making it more cost-effective. BNB Chain is designed to handle high transaction volumes with faster block confirmation times. This marks another milestone towards Backed’s mission to enable the seamless integration of RWAs on-chain.   
Backed’s products are already finding use cases such as collateral for stablecoins and money markets by&nbsp;<a href="https://snapshot.org/#/anglegovernance.eth/proposal/0xc1267bd00132302316b03c08770719db48f11fce5e2b471e0b8b570b6612110b" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Angle Protocol</a>&nbsp;– making use of bC3M and bHIGH.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.research.ribbon.finance/blog/ribbon-earn-v2-is-live" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ribbon Finance</a>&nbsp;is utilizing bIB01 for its own structured product yields. Our&nbsp;<a href="https://backed.fi/news-updates/backed-fixed-income-products-a-robust-on-chain-treasury-management-solution" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tokenized treasury</a>&nbsp;products are also being used by treasury managers as a yield-baring, stable way to park their funds fully on-chain.   
Backed strives to enable innovation and we will continue to expand our token issuance to new networks.   
“We’re thrilled to announce the extension of our native token offering to the BNB Smart Chain. At Backed, we believe in providing our clients with choices, and this expansion allows them to choose the best-suited chain for their needs. Our BEP-20 tokens on BSC are fully compatible with our ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum, ensuring seamless integration across networks.&nbsp;   
This integration with the BNB Chain ecosystem brings our products to a large and active user base, saves costs, and provides better market access for tokenized real-world assets.” – Giorgio Giuliani, Head of Product at Backed.
