【ChainWen】A new project has caused some buzz in the fundraising circle. The investors behind YZi Labs just announced a multi-million dollar investment in Genius Trading, which is no small amount. Even more interesting, a co-founder of a major exchange has also joined the project, directly taking on an advisory role—this indicates that the project’s value is still being recognized.

What exactly does Genius want to do? Simply put, it aims to build a privacy-first trading system on the chain. Spot trading, perpetual contracts, copy trading—offering all the essential features—aiming to be a decentralized version of top-tier platforms.

According to data, the project has already processed over $60 million in trading volume during its testing phase, demonstrating that there is indeed market demand for privacy trading. The team plans to officially launch a public privacy protocol test in Q2 2026, allowing more users to experience this system. Whether they can balance privacy and usability effectively remains the key challenge moving forward.
