Enhanced technology solution combines front-end discovery with back-end omnibus account infrastructure to reduce fragmentation in crypto asset investment
ABU DHABI, UAE, April 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Binance today announced the reintroduced Capital Connect, its marketplace platform for eligible institutional users, now built on top of Portfolio Accounts, Binance's institutional account infrastructure solution for portfolio investment.
Originally launched to bridge information and networking gaps between investors and trading teams, the first-of-its-kind Capital Connect now delivers a more integrated experience by combining front-end portfolio discovery with the back-end operational infrastructure of Portfolio Accounts. Together, these solutions reduce fragmentation in crypto asset investment and provide a more structured way for eligible participants to connect via Binance's technology platform.
In a market where crypto allocation remains fragmented and communication often relies on informal, opaque channels, Capital Connect improves transparency, trust, and operational efficiency for investors seeking to access trading teams.
Under the updated model, trading teams onboard to Portfolio Accounts, where they can run strategies and establish a track record before becoming discoverable on Capital Connect. Institutional investors can browse portfolio information and express interest through the platform. During the initial stage, both sides remain anonymous. If a trading team accepts a connection request, the investor receives the trading team's information while remaining anonymous.
Investors can search, filter, and compare strategies by:
Portfolio Accounts provide the underlying omnibus account infrastructure that enables trading teams to pool and manage assets in one or more accounts based on their preferred trading strategies. Modeled on traditional finance, Portfolio Accounts offer trading teams greater operational efficiency while giving investors a structured process to allocate and redeem investments, with added confidence that assets remain securely held on Binance and cannot be withdrawn by the trading teams. Any trading decisions made through the platform remain between the participants themselves.
Catherine Chen, Head of Binance VIP & Institutional, said: "With Capital Connect now rebuilt on top of Portfolio Accounts, we're bringing a more integrated and scalable way for investors and trading teams to meet and work together. Capital Connect is another milestone in our journey to reduce friction in crypto market infrastructure and make digital assets more accessible for institutional and sophisticated users."
Key features of the updated Capital Connect include:
Availability: Capital Connect is available to eligible institutional users who have completed applicable KYB onboarding requirements, subject to regional restrictions. Trading teams are subject to holding a valid licence (or recognised exemption) issued by a regulatory authority in their jurisdiction to provide investment, portfolio or asset management activities to access Capital Connect. Investors must meet one of the following financial criteria to access Capital Connect: VIP 3 status or above, $1M or more in total assets on Binance, or submission of external asset proof equivalent to $1M for review. Institutional investors and trading teams can contact their Binance Institutional representative or apply through official Binance channels.

Scout24 erhöht das Tempo bei der Kapitalrückführung an die Aktionäre. Der Vorstand des DAX-Konzerns hat mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrats beschlossen, die zweite Tranche des laufenden Aktienrückkaufprogramms bereits bis Ende 2026 zu starten. Im Rahmen dieser zweiten Runde sollen weitere eigene Aktien im Wert von bis zu 250 Millionen Euro über die Börse erworben werden. Zusammen mit der ersten Tranche über bis zu 100 Millionen Euro steigt das Rückkaufvolumen für das Jahr 2026 damit auf insgesamt bis zu 350 Millionen Euro.
Das gesamte Aktienrückkaufprogramm von Scout24 ist auf bis zu 500 Millionen Euro angelegt. Die zweite Tranche umfasst den Erwerb von bis zu 4,5 Millionen eigenen Aktien, ohne Erwerbsnebenkosten. Sie soll unmittelbar an die laufende erste Tranche anschließen, die auf einem Vorstandsbeschluss vom 3. Dezember 2025 basiert und am 2. Januar 2026 angekündigt wurde. Die rechtliche Grundlage bildet eine Ermächtigung der ordentlichen Hauptversammlung 2025 sowie eine weitere, der Hauptversammlung am 17. Juni 2026 zur Beschlussfassung vorgeschlagene Ermächtigung.
Parallel zur Auflage der zweiten Tranche strafft Scout24 die laufende erste Rückkaufphase. Vor dem Hintergrund der nahezu vollständigen Ausschöpfung dieser ersten Runde wird der spätestmögliche Erwerbszeitpunkt auf den 29. Mai 2026 vorgezogen und die Gesamtzahl der im Rahmen dieser Tranche zurückzukaufenden Aktien auf bis zu 1.540.276 Stück begrenzt. Zwischen dem 5. Januar 2026 und dem 21. April 2026 hat das Unternehmen bereits 1.155.276 eigene Aktien im Volumen von rund 84,5 Millionen Euro erworben. Marktteilnehmer reagierten positiv auf die Ankündigung: Der Kurs der Scout24-Aktie legte im nachbörslichen Handel um rund fünf Prozent zu.
Mit den Rückkäufen verfolgt Scout24 das Ziel, die Zahl der ausstehenden Aktien zu verringern und damit den relativen Anteil der verbleibenden Aktionäre zu erhöhen. Die eingezogenen Aktien können den Gewinn je Aktie stützen und signalisieren gleichzeitig Vertrauen von Vorstand und Aufsichtsrat in die eigene Geschäftsentwicklung. Die Entscheidung, die zweite Tranche früher als ursprünglich erwartet zu starten, unterstreicht den Stellenwert von Aktienrückkäufen im Financial-Policy-Mix des Unternehmens und stärkt die Rolle von Kapitalrückführungen als wichtigem Bestandteil der Aktionärsvergütung.
