CZ has only a handful of projects where he serves as an advisor.
Currently, there are only three: Aster, Vana, and Genius.
Moreover, judging from YZi Labs' investment in @GeniusTerminal and their statements, the strategic position of this project far exceeds expectations.

1/ "On-chain Binance" is not a marketing slogan, but a strategic positioning
Genius CEO Armaan Kalsi clearly stated in the official announcement: the goal is to create an "on-chain version of Binance."
Co-founder Ryan Myher was even more direct: "If you were to rebuild Binance today, you wouldn't choose a centralized exchange—you would build it on-chain."
Such statements appearing in YZi Labs' formal investment announcement are no coincidence.
The global regulatory environment is becoming increasingly clear, and the regulatory arbitrage space for CEX is disappearing.
The transition to on-chain has shifted from an option to a necessity.
Genius represents Binance's strategic layout at this turning point.
From Binance's perspective, the benefits are obvious:
▌ Testing the boundaries of on-chain trading through Genius
▌ Accumulating reserves for potential future business transformations
▌ Maintaining strategic initiative amid changes in the regulatory environment
2/ Signals revealed by the investment amount
The Block reports that this investment is "in the eight figures, far exceeding $10 million."
Based on industry norms, the investment amount could be in the range of $20 million to $50 million.
More importantly, CZ personally serves as an advisor.
It's worth noting that YZi Labs' portfolio covers nearly 300 projects, but the number of projects where CZ directly participates in an advisory role is very few.
This level of endorsement from a founder indicates that Genius is not an ordinary investment target, but a strategic asset.
There is already a consensus within Binance regarding the future of on-chain trading.
