BIO recently rallies against the trend, as an AI-driven longevity research revolution quietly unfolds on the blockchain.

The token of Bio Protocol, BIO, has recently been performing remarkably. According to Bitget data, BIO's price rose from $0.056 on August 6, 2025, to a peak of $0.2081 on August 22, representing a surge of over 270%.
Currently, the staking scale of BIO has reached approximately 174 million tokens, accounting for about 9.3% of the total circulating supply of 1.854 billion tokens. BIO is also listed on multiple mainstream exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, and Bithumb.
The DeSci hype in late 2024 lasted only a few months. After listing on Binance, BIO's token performance was "disastrous", dropping over 90% from its all-time high of $0.8 and hovering around $0.05 until August 2025. What exactly revived BIO?
Tracing back to the project's origin, on November 8, 2024, Binance Labs (now YZi Labs) announced its investment in Bio Protocol. Although investment details were not disclosed, this move signified mainstream capital's recognition of the DeSci track.
As a representative project in the DeSci track, Bio Protocol's core goal is to "transform the funding and commercialization model of early biotechnology research" and build a network of biotechnology DAOs.
Through blockchain technology, it enables global scientists, patients, and investors to jointly participate in new drug development, addressing the traditional research pain point of "funds concentrated in big pharma and closed results". It helps global participants fund and collaboratively develop new drugs, especially focusing on rare diseases, longevity research, and emerging health issues.
On June 3, 2025, the DeSci project token PYTHIA started rising, continuously increasing from $0.0168 to $0.122 on August 14, a surge of 626%.
On July 31, 2025, Coinbase simultaneously listed BIO and RSC, two DeSci project tokens, marking DeSci's return to the Western mainstream digital currency market.
Subsequently, VitaDAO's token VITA rose from $1.17 on August 1 to a high of $2.22 on August 22, a total increase of 89%. Cerebrum DAO's token NEURON also performed excellently, rising over 180% this month. CryoDAO token CRYO surged over 200%, ValleyDAO token GROW increased by 76%, and HairDAO token HAIR rose 67.5%. This demonstrates that DeSci is recovering.
(The translation continues in the same manner for the rest of the text)On this matter, CZ, when interviewed by Foresight News, directly stated: "DeSci and meme coins are completely at two extremes. DeSci projects have long cycles, while digital currency industry investors generally have short attention spans. Meme coins are popular, yet such projects are not being focused on. But from a Longing-term perspective, these projects will make significant contributions to humans and society. I believe they will definitely develop in the future, though the specific timing is uncertain."
