The
#Binance of the Future
CZ invests millions in Genius Trading to bring institutional trading to total anonymity
#YZILabs , the family office of the founders of Binance (
@CZ and Yi He), has closed an eight-figure strategic investment (over $10 million) in Genius Trading.
This move marks a personal milestone for
#CZ , who not only contributes capital but also formally joins the project as an advisor.
An "On-Chain Binance": Genius's thesis is bold. According to its COO, Ryan Myher, if Binance were founded today, it would be a decentralized, on-chain platform. Genius aims to replicate the speed and liquidity of a CEX while maintaining self-custody and operating through a multi-chain terminal (Ethereum,
#solana ,
#BNBChain , Sui, etc.).
Privacy as an institutional pillar: Unlike current DeFi platforms where all wallets are traceable, Genius is testing a beta privacy layer. This allows "whales" to split large trades across hundreds of wallets to prevent their strategies from being copied or anticipated by the market (front-running).
Real traction and MPC technology: Since its soft launch in October 2025, it has already processed $60 million in volume. It uses multi-party computation (MPC) wallets so users never lose their private keys but still enjoy professional futures and copy trading execution.
2026 Roadmap: The team, founded at Yale University, plans to launch the public beta of its privacy protocol in the second quarter of 2026. Unlike other projects, Genius does not plan to launch its own blockchain but instead aims to be the definitive execution layer on existing networks.
