YZi Labs, the family office of Binance co-founders Changpeng “CZ” Zhao and Yi He, has made a multi-eight-figure investment in decentralised trading platform Genius Trading.
The investment was completed last month and is understood to be well above $10 million, according to the company.
Changpeng Zhao will join Genius Trading as an advisor following the funding round.
Genius Trading is developing a privacy-focused, self-custodial trading terminal designed as an onchain alternative to centralised exchanges.
The platform supports spot trading, perpetual futures, and copy trading through a single cross-chain interface.
Genius aims to allow users to trade across more than 10 blockchains without bridging assets or switching wallets.
Supported networks include BNB Chain (CRYPTO:BNB), Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH), Solana (CRYPTO:SOL), Hyperliquid, Base, Avalanche (CRYPTO:AVAX), and Sui (CRYPTO:SUI).
If you were rebuilding Binance today, you wouldn’t do it as a centralised exchange — you’d build it onchain.
Ryan Myher said.
Genius is our answer to what that looks like: one terminal, full custody, no compromises.
