SwissBorg Meta-Exchange Connects to BNB Smart Chain
SwissBorg, Europe's leading app for investing and earning crypto, today announced the integration of BNB Smart Chain (BNB Chain) into its Meta-Exchange (MEX), connecting one of the largest decentralized ecosystems in crypto directly into its one-tap trading experience. Through this integration, SwissBorg users can trade BNB Chain-native assets, including $BNB and $CAKE, in a single tap with all SwissBorg supported assets. The Meta-Exchange enhances trading efficiency by aggregating liquidity from five major centralized exchanges, over 20 decentralized exchanges, and 16 fiat currencies. The integration of BNB Chain means SwissBorg's users gain access to one of the most actively used blockchains, recognized for its high speed, low transaction fees, and a robust DeFi and NFT ecosystem. BNB Chain, launched by Binance in 2020, has evolved into a dominant smart contract platform, hosting millions of monthly active users and offering full EVM compatibility for seamless app migration. SwissBorg's Meta-Exchange abstracts away the fragmentation typically found across wallets, bridges, and networks. The MEX delivers optimal liquidity and pricing in real time, offering users unified trading that avoid complexities involved with bridging or switching apps. Through this latest integration, users can instantly swap BNB Chain-native tokens without leaving the app or dealing with manual steps. All trades are executed with route-optimized pricing to ensure best-in-class execution. With support for PancakeSwap—the flagship decentralized exchange on BNB Chain—SwissBorg increases access to one of the most liquid and widely used DeFi platforms in the ecosystem. Further integration with additional BNB Chain-based DEXs will follow the same path as SwissBorg's rollouts for Avalanche and Solana. The timing of this integration aligns with key developments on BNB Chain, including the launch of OpBNB, a Layer 2 chain built on Optimism technology; rapid growth in innovative DeFi protocols like Thena and Helio; and increasing institutional adoption for Web3 applications. These advancements affirm BNB Chain's position as a high-performance, low-cost, and scalable environment for both developers and users—and make its integration into SwissBorg's Meta-Exchange a highly strategic move. For the SwissBorg community, this means greater access to BNB Chain-native tokens, improved swap execution through deeper liquidity pools, and the ability to discover and trade new assets even before they list on centralized exchanges. More importantly, it expands the app's capability as a seamless, cross-chain trading hub—empowering users to swap from $BNB to $ETH, $SOL, or $AVAX in a single tap, without the need for bridges or external wallets. About SwissBorg SwissBorg is the leading community-driven crypto wealth management platform, engineered in Switzerland and licensed in the EU. Committed to trust and transparency, SwissBorg is on a mission to democratise the future of finance. At its core is the groundbreaking Meta-Exchange, which seamlessly connects to multiple centralised and decentralised exchanges to secure the best liquidity and prices for users. Beyond trading, SwissBorg offers curated yield strategies through DeFi, and empowers users to access early Web3 opportunities through its Alpha Pre-Sales.
