Binance taps Mitosis for Liquidity Booster to unlock new DeFi yields on BNB Chain
Programmable liquidity Layer-1 chain Mitosis is teaming up with Binance to launch the Liquidity Booster Program, a new initiative designed to expand yield opportunities for DeFi users while addressing liquidity fragmentation on BNB Smart Chain. A total of 15 million MITO tokens will be distributed across multiple phases.According to a press release shared with CryptoDailyUK, Lista DAO, a lending and stablecoin protocol that currently secures more than $2.8 billion in liquidity will be the first project to participate in the Liquidity Booster program, making it one of the largest players in the space.

A Mitosis spokesperson said the initiative is designed to transform idle capital into productive assets, describing programmable liquidity as “a set of building blocks” for DeFi. “With Binance and Lista DAO we are opening a fast lane on the BNB Chain where yield and utility work together for users and builders,” the spokesperson added.
Earlier this month, Mitosis announced plans to launch its mainnet and introduce the $MITO token, which will power programmable liquidity across the ecosystem. The team described this as a key step toward aligning DeFi participants to build a more sustainable and efficient liquidity infrastructure. Alongside the mainnet rollout, Mitosis said it is also focused on exploring tokenization of assets and transforming liquidity positions into liquid, tradable instruments. The project further revealed that it is preparing collaborations with major players in Asia to bring real-world asset tokenization on-chain in the near future.
Enhancing Liquidity into the BNB ecosystem unlocking attractive yield strategies
With one of the most active user bases in crypto, BNB Chain is set to benefit from this initiative, which aims to make assets “work harder” while remaining liquid.
BNB holders can deposit into the Mitosis EOL Vault to mint miBNB, a token that automatically compounds Binance-native yields such as Launchpool rewards while staying usable across DeFi protocols on the Mitosis chain. Meanwhile, USDT holders can deposit into the Mitosis Liquidity Booster Vault, which routes funds into Lista DAO’s lending pools and issues maUSDT Lista, a yield-bearing token that compounds lending returns and remains deployable throughout the Mitosis ecosystem.
The Liquidity Booster with Mitosis marks a significant step in strengthening the BNB Chain ecosystem by improving capital efficiency and unlocking stacked yield opportunities for both retail and institutional users. By combining Binance Earn’s base yields, Lista DAO’s $2.8 billion in secured liquidity, and Mitosis’ programmable liquidity model, the initiative positions BNB Chain as a leading hub for sustainable DeFi growth.
For Binance, it further embeds its Web3 Wallet and Earn products into on-chain finance. Earlier this year, Binance strengthened BNB Chain’s liquidity profile with the launch of a $100 million Permanent Liquidity Support Program, aimed at bootstrapping liquidity for native projects on centralized exchanges. The initiative was designed to enhance ecosystem liquidity and accelerate project growth by incentivizing listings of BNB Chain tokens across major CEXs.
Mitosis has previously secured $7 million in seed funding, and manages more than $90 million in liquidity, earning recognition as a top-three project in the Kaito Pre-TGE Arena.
