Sept 8 — Faraday Future founder Jia Yueting said on social media that his digital-asset arm, C10 Treasury, added $2 million in digital assets, with BNB as the largest position. Jia said BNB was chosen for its unique role in the Binance ecosystem, real business revenue, large user base, and broad ecosystem layout. The move signals further progress in Faraday Future’s digital asset strategy and drew market attention.
WHY BNB IS THE FIRST CHOICE?
Jia noted that BNB’s central role in the Binance ecosystem is the main reason. BNB Chain is one of the leading blockchain ecosystems and supports DeFi, NFT, GameFi, and meme sectors.In the first half of 2025, BNB Chain’s monthly active addresses topped 22 million; stablecoin trading share reached 60%–74%; average daily volume was near $90 billion, showing strong capacity. In addition, PancakeSwap, a core BNB Chain protocol, had about $10 billion in daily volume and 74.6% DEX market share, reflecting a solid user base.
BNB’s quarterly burn also adds to its investment case. In July 2025, BNB completed its 32nd burn worth over $1 billion. This helped curb inflation pressure, lifting market cap to $119.3 billion and pushing price to a new high of $860. These factors make BNB a strong pick for Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) allocations.
FARADAY FUTURE’S DIGITAL ASSET STRATEGY WITH BNB
C10 Treasury is a key part of Faraday Future’s “capital + industry” dual-engine plan. It previously raised $30 million, with 80% passively allocated by the C10 index and 20% actively managed.
The new $2 million may follow this approach. BNB’s high liquidity and ecosystem advantages fit the strategy. However, Faraday Future’s long-standing financial stress and Jia’s credibility issues raise questions about execution.
Making BNB the largest holding shows confidence in the digital asset market and recognition of BNB’s ecosystem value. But success depends not only on BNB’s performance; it also hinges on Faraday Future’s cash management and the broader regulatory environment. C10 Treasury’s moves may become a key lens on Faraday Future’s transition and possible turnaround.
