YZi Labs, established by Binance co-founders Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and He Yi, has invested tens of millions of dollars in Genius Trading. CZ will also serve as an advisor to the project. Genius Trading is developing a privacy-focused on-chain trading platform that will offer spot trading, perpetual contracts, and copy trading, aiming to become a decentralized alternative to Binance. The platform has already achieved over $60 million in trading volume during its testing phase and is set to launch a public privacy protocol test in the second quarter of 2026.
