The Binary Holdings (TBH) is emerging as a powerhouse in the nascent Web 2.5 infrastructure space—seamlessly blending the familiarity of Web 2 with the transformative power of blockchain-enabled Web3. In practice, Web 2.5 means embedding tokenized services, such as loyalty points, micro-payments, and blockchain-powered mini-apps (dApps) beneath the polished interfaces consumers already use so that the blockchain runs invisibly in the background while users simply tap, play, and earn. As TBH’s CEO Manit Parikh explains,
“By embedding blockchain into everyday apps invisibly, we unlock real utility for users who never see the complexity but enjoy the benefits. This is how Web 2.5 transforms engagement at scale.”
Identifying and Solving a Massive Market Gap
TBH recognized a massive market opportunity in outdated telco loyalty programs. Traditionally, loyalty is costly to operate, siloed by carriers, and plagued by low redemption rates. Industry data shows 30 trillion loyalty points expired unused in 2018, and only about 5% of telcos leverage sophisticated and data-driven rewards. Such legacy systems treat loyalty as a liability, tying up balance-sheet reserves without lifting ARPU or reducing churn. TBH’s answer was a vendor-funded, blockchain-powered loyalty infrastructure in which users earn native $BNRY tokens for everyday app interactions—everything from topping up data to playing short games, and redeem them instantly for airtime, vouchers, or partner offers. This frictionless reward loop has revitalized client telcos’ loyalty portfolios and driven the platform’s explosive daily-active-user growth.
While telcos needed fresh engagement channels, Web3 dApps struggle to unlock pathways to bridge web2 users. To solve both problems, TBH built OneWave, its embedded “dApp playstore” inside telecom apps that plugs directly into existing loyalty programs. Game studios like Peer2Play and Catoff, identity platforms such as MetaverseMe, have all joined TBH’s ecosystem—not to find their first users, but to scale faster by gaining instant access to 169 million users without the usual blockchain onboarding hurdles. In return, telco partners benefit from engaging Web3 experiences that boost retention, increase ARPU, and differentiate their digital offerings.
Beyond distribution, TBH has bolstered its capabilities through targeted acquisitions: integrating Enkrypted Wallet brought hybrid custodial and non-custodial wallet users into its fold, while weaving gaming and content platforms into OneWave enriched its catalog of experiences. Today, TBH’s ecosystem boasts over 30 integrated dApps across multiple blockchains, creating a virtuous cycle: developers gain mainstream reach, telcos unlock new revenue streams, and TBH cements its status as the leading Web 2.5 infrastructure provider.
“Our vision is simple,” says co-founder & CBO Sid Sahi. “Make blockchain services invisible yet invaluable in everyday digital experiences. By turning loyalty from a cost center into a growth engine and giving dApps the distribution they need, we’re laying the foundation for the next billion users.”
Growth Through Strategic Acquisitions
Beyond partnerships, TBH has accelerated growth through strategic acquisitions of complementary Web3 assets. The purchase of Encrypted Wallet brought hybrid custodial/non-custodial wallet functionality into TBH’s fold, instantly adding millions of active wallets to the ecosystem and simplifying on-chain transactions for retail and institutional users alike.
These acquisitions reflect TBH’s commitment to a virtuous cycle: each new asset increases user engagement, which in turn attracts more developers, deepening the ecosystem and strengthening TBH’s position as the premier Web 2.5 infrastructure provider. Today, TBH supports over 30 live dApps across two blockchains (Hedera EVM and Solana) and processes billions of tokenized actions every month.
A Trajectory Toward the Next Billion
With its proven model, TBH is on track to surpass 1 billion users by the end of 2025. The combination of invisible blockchain integration, vendor-funded rewards, and turnkey distribution is resonating across emerging markets. As TBH continues to add telco partners, acquire strategic assets, and onboard innovative dApps, the company cements its role at the forefront of the Web 2.5 revolution—where mainstream consumers gain real-world utility from decentralized technology without the usual complexity.
