CZ-Advised Genius Takes On Fomo and Pump.fun With First BNB Social Trading App
New York City, NY, USA, October 27th, 2026,
The BNB social trading app brings token launches, trading and social discovery to an ecosystem with over $20 billion in trading volume.
Genius, the trading infrastructure platform backed by YZi Labs and advised by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), today announced the launch of the BNB social trading app, the first social trading app built exclusively for BNB Chain.
Genius joins the social app wars alongside Fomo and Pump.fun, bringing token launches, trading and the ability to follow favorite key opinion leaders and traders into one app dedicated to BNB Chain.
The launch builds on an existing ecosystem with over $20 billion in trading volume and more than 20,000 token launches through its launchpad. Almost one million wallets hold Genius.fun tokens, which users can now hold and trade through the Genius App.
Genius.fun launched earlier in September, connecting community-created tokens with tokenized public-company shares to support collective ownership and shareholder activism.
Armaan Kalsi, CEO and Co-founder of Genius, said: “BNB Chain deserves its own social trading app. With Genius, users can follow their favorite traders, trade tokens and launch their own in just a few clicks. We’re entering the social app race with more than 20,000 token launches behind us and almost one million wallets holding Genius.fun tokens. The Genius App brings that activity together as the BNB social trading app.”
The BNB Social Trading App
The Genius App brings together the core features of BNB Chain social trading:
- Launch tokens in a few clicks: Create tokens directly from the app through the launchpad that has already supported more than 20,000 launches.
- Follow favorite KOLs and traders: Connect with the people and communities driving token discovery.
- Get verified with $GENIUS: Hold at least 1,000 $GENIUS to qualify for verified status.
- Trade at 0.3% fees: Genius says its trading fee is the lowest among competing social trading apps.
Built exclusively for BNB Chain, the app extends Genius’s existing launchpad into a dedicated social trading experience, giving its community one place to launch, hold and trade tokens while following other market participants.
