YZi Labs, the investment firm led by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), has made an eight-figure investment in Genius Trading, an on-chain trading terminal.

The exact amount was not shared, but the firm confirmed the deal on Tuesday and said CZ will also join the company as an advisor.

This investment shows growing interest in cross-chain trading tools, as crypto trading continues to spread across many blockchains and decentralized platforms. Investors are now focusing more on tools that improve trade execution, speed, and performance, not just liquidity.

Genius Trading is not a decentralized exchange (DEX). Instead, it is a trading interface that connects users to multiple blockchains and platforms, allowing them to trade from one place. The platform supports spot trading, perpetual futures, and copy trading. Before its public launch, Genius had already processed over $160 million in trading volume across 10 blockchains.

YZi Labs manages around $10 billion in assets and invests in Web3, AI, and biotechnology startups. It operates as CZ’s family office and was formed from Binance’s former venture arm.

Demand for Privacy-Focused DeFi Tools Grows

As DeFi expands across different blockchains, tools like Genius are becoming more important. While decentralized exchanges offer transparency and user control, they also make it harder for large traders to place big orders without revealing their plans. YZi Labs called this problem a “transparency bug,” where public blockchains can expose trading strategies.

More traders are now moving from centralized exchanges (CEXs) to decentralized platforms. Because of this, there is rising demand for tools that protect privacy and improve execution quality.

YZi Labs believes Genius Trading can meet these needs by offering a simple, cross-chain trading terminal designed for professional traders. The investment shows that trading infrastructure is becoming a key part of the future of crypto.
