OKX Ventures, the investment arm of OKX, has announced a new investment in Corn, an Ethereum Layer 2 solution. This partnership aims to bridge Bitcoin with the Ethereum ecosystem to enhance its use in decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. Corn, based on the Arbitrum Layer 2 solution and connected to Coinbase, allows BTC owners to access DeFi applications on the Ethereum network.

OKX Ventures' investment in Corn reflects its commitment to expanding blockchain technology and connecting the influential crypto ecosystems of Bitcoin and Ethereum. The Corn ecosystem includes a staking program with the native CORN token to encourage expansion and provide long-term benefits for users. This investment aligns with OKX Ventures' mission of supporting revolutionary blockchain projects and contributing to the growth of the blockchain industry.
