PANews reported on January 19 that YZi Labs announced an investment in Genius, a professional on-chain trading terminal, in order to accelerate the construction of a private and high-speed on-chain trading platform.
This investment aims to support infrastructure that can provide centralized exchange-level speed, liquidity, and privacy while maintaining complete user ownership of their assets. Genius's core strength lies in its "ghost order" type, which utilizes multi-party computation to generate a cluster of ephemeral wallets that can be coordinated simultaneously. This allows large traders to execute complex strategies across hundreds of addresses, while ensuring the confidentiality of the fund flow and supporting cryptographic auditing. The system remains non-custodial. The new funding will be used to accelerate the development of its privacy protocol to support its planned public access launch by the end of 2026 and to expand liquidity across the more than 10 chains it supports.
