CZ along with Minister of State for the Digital Transition and Electronic Communication Cedric O, announced the project on November 3, 2021, at the French Ministry of Finance in Paris.
Binance has partnered with France FinTech, a non-profit association that promotes FinTech growth in the country, for the project. Objective Moon will see the development of the Binance Research and Development hub in France that will recruit cryptocurrency and blockchain talent from across Europe.
Funded by Binance, Objective Moon will create a Decentralized Ledger Technology (DLT) accelerator and an online Education Program that will raise talent for the blockchain and crypto industry talent in the country.
