**Title: Early Traders Made Huge Gains? Understanding Genius' New Rules** Genius, a highly discussed DEX, announced new GP points rules for its Season 1, ending April 12, with a 50% increase in airdrop allocation. The team confirmed that GP points earned from early trading volume remain valid, benefiting users who followed initial interaction guides. Key updates: - Total S1 GP points are fixed at 200 million, with 75 million already distributed from pre-whitepaper trading. The remaining 125 million will be distributed weekly starting January 20, at 10 million GP per week. - Distribution is weighted to prevent whales from dominating, allowing smaller traders to earn points. - Stablecoin swaps (e.g., USDT/USDC) now have a 0.5x weight; other spot trades retain 1.0x. - Previous task-based and referral GP rewards were removed. Now, points are earned solely via spot trading volume. - New trading tiers introduce fee discounts based on cumulative trading volume, though zero-fee trading remains active indefinitely. - Referrals now offer 35% commission on invitees’ trading fees post-zero-fee campaign. - The GENIUS token will be created before April 12, 2026, with a TGE expected randomly before then. Despite platform bugs from high traffic, Genius’ strong backing (including investment from YZi Labs and CZ as advisor) and confirmed TGE make it noteworthy.

Yesterday, Genius, a DEX that has been highly discussed recently, announced new point rules on platform X: Season 1 will end on April 12, with an additional 50% airdrop quota.

Notably, the Genius team stated that the GP points earned from trading volume have been retained. Congratulations to those who participated early through the point-earning guide shared by Odaily Planet Daily (click here to jump to the article: YZi Labs Invests Tens of Millions, CZ as Advisor—How to Earn Genius Points?). These users may have already "made a fortune" in GP points (platform website: https://www.tradegenius.com/).

Early users "aggressively" traded to earn massive GP points from volume

Below, Odaily Planet Daily explains Genius's new GP point rules to help users better participate in platform interactions and earn GP points.

Season 1 Total of 200 Million GP Points, 125 Million GP Points Still to Be Distributed

The community had many questions about GP point distribution. This time, the official emphasized that Season 1 has a total of 200 million GP points, with no additional issuance. The specific distribution is as follows:

75 million GP points have been distributed, which are the trading points earned by users before the platform updated the whitepaper. GP points from referral rewards have been reclaimed;
125 million GP points are still to be distributed, including 5 million GP points from the wheel-of-fortune reward. Referral reward points and trading task points have been canceled.

The remaining 125 million GP points will be distributed starting at 5:00 AM UTC+8 today (January 20), with 10 million GP points distributed every weekend. Additionally, points are allocated using a weighted distribution to ensure that whale traders do not monopolize all GP releases, allowing smaller traders to also receive GP allocations.

Notably, the trading volume weight for stablecoin USDT to USDC conversions has been adjusted to 0.5x, while the weight for other spot trading volumes remains 1.0x.

Other Changes in the New Rules

As explained by the team members in the official Telegram, on one hand, all previous GP task points (trading tasks + referral tasks) have been cleared; on the other hand, under the new rules, GP points can only be earned through spot trading volume.

Official explanation of the new rules

New Trading Tiers

The new trading tier divisions and fee discounts are as follows:

Level 1—Smart: Cumulative trading volume of $100,000, trading fee 0.3%;
Level 2—Ultra Genius: Cumulative trading volume of $1 million, trading fee 0.2%;
Level 3—Mastermind: Cumulative trading volume of $10 million, trading fee 0.1%;
Level 4—Mogger Genius: Cumulative trading volume of $100 million, trading fee 0.05%.

The current zero-fee trading promotion's end date has not been announced.

Referral Rewards

Referring friends for trading no longer earns GP points, but after the zero-fee promotion ends, users can earn a 35% commission from the trading fees of invited friends.

For example, if an invited user's trading fee tier is 0.2%, the rebate earned would be 0.07% (35% * 0.2%).

GENIUS Token to Be Created Before April 12, 2026

According to the documentation, the GENIUS token will be created before the end of Season 1. Therefore, TGE will occur randomly between now and April 12.

Platform Has Many Bugs, But Strong Funding Background and Confirmed TGE Make It Worth Attention

Since its launch a few days ago, Genius has been overloaded due to a large influx of studios, resulting in frequent bugs. Although the team has been working to resolve issues, some functions still have problems and cannot fully satisfy users. As of now, referral points and trading tasks have not been fully removed, and the wheel-of-fortune reward is still under maintenance.

With the new rules update, TGE will occur before April 12, significantly increasing the certainty of earning from Genius. With only 200 million GP points distributed before TGE, GP points will be particularly "valuable," and the cost of earning them will only increase. KOL Nathan stated, "With tens of millions in investment, the FDV should be around $300–500 million. Congratulations to those who got on board early, earning 37.5% of the total airdrop in just 3 days." Based on the data below, with a $300 million FDV and a 10% airdrop allocation, each point would be worth $0.15.

Genius Point Value Estimation

Perhaps it is still worth interacting now, while trading fees are still zero and the new rules have just been launched.

The 'Summer Saw' Continues: A Break Above $67,000 Could Signal the Start of Bitcoin's Rally

Bitcoin continues to consolidate within a $58,000–$67,000 range, with its price dropping to $62,217 on August 1st. Analysts are divided on the next direction. Trader Crypto Candy suggests a potential drop towards $60,000 if the price remains below $66,000. Investor Jelle refers to the prolonged sideways movement as a "summer saw" and maintains a dollar-cost averaging strategy. The key upside scenario hinges on a breakout above $67,000. Daan Crypto Trades states that without this, the movement risks being just an extended pause. Roman projects a sharper rise to $70,000–$80,000+ if a breakout occurs with sufficient volume. Macro-analyst Gert van Lagen views this as an accumulation phase within a multi-year "cup and handle" pattern. He notes that long-term holders are refusing to sell, as indicated by the NUPL metric staying far from capitulation. In summary, the market is in an accumulation phase, with the $60,000 and $67,000 levels being critical. A break above $67,000 could initiate significant growth, while a fall below $60,000 may lead to further decline. The recent pullback shows that legislative catalysts have provided only short-lived momentum, raising questions about the sustainability of any future breakout attempts.

Stocks Are Plummeting More Sharply Than Cryptocurrencies. Where Has the Money Gone?

Stock Markets Plunge Deeper Than Cryptocurrencies: Where Did the Money Go? In late July, Seoul's Kospi index triggered circuit breakers for two consecutive days, plummeting over 40% from its June high. The collapse was led by heavyweight stocks like SK Hynix, whose record profits still disappointed investors, and devastating leveraged ETFs, with one major product losing over 83% of its value. This signaled a global, forced deleveraging targeting the most crowded trades. Interestingly, while stocks exhibited extreme volatility akin to crypto markets, Bitcoin rose nearly 15% in July after a prior steep drop. Analysis shows the money fleeing equities did not flow into Bitcoin. Instead, Bitcoin had already absorbed its sell-off in May-June, when U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw historic outflows. The true safe-haven beneficiary was gold, whose price rose over 20% year-on-year, highlighting a decoupling between Bitcoin and gold as "digital gold." The sell-off was a targeted unwinding of leveraged positions in tech and semiconductors, accelerated by broker-dealer risk management and shifts in the AI narrative, including new competition from Chinese memory chipmakers. The retreat path was clear: from high-valuation tech stocks to cash and U.S. Treasuries, then to gold. For Bitcoin to attract sustained institutional inflows, conditions like eased global liquidity pressure, a "soft-landing" Fed rate cut, and U.S. regulatory clarity via legislation like the stalled CLARITY Act are needed. Currently, Bitcoin is not a safe haven but an already-cleared asset. Its low correlation with tech stocks, however, makes it a potential diversification play for institutional portfolios once the storm passes. The money isn't here yet, but the positioning is underway.

In Conversation with Ray Dalio: We Are Currently in an AI Bubble, with 1% of My Portfolio in Bitcoin

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, warns in an interview that the current AI boom shows classic bubble characteristics, which could lead to significant economic downturns as seen in past cycles like 1929 or 2000. He explains that speculative enthusiasm, fueled by debt and overvaluation, often precedes a crash when rising rates or taxation force asset sales, causing widespread losses and recession. Dalio also outlines his "Big Cycle" theory, describing an approximate 80-year pattern where widening wealth gaps, massive government deficits, and shifting geopolitical power (like China's rise) create internal conflict and global instability. He emphasizes that we are in a late-cycle, transitional phase where traditional powers like the US and UK face decline. For personal wealth protection, Dalio advises diversification beyond cash into assets like stocks, bonds, real estate, and particularly gold, which he prefers over Bitcoin. While he holds about 1% of his portfolio in Bitcoin as a non-printable hard asset, he views gold as more secure from technological or governmental threats. Regarding AI's impact, Dalio believes it will disproportionately benefit capital owners, worsening inequality by replacing both physical and cognitive labor. He suggests that human intuition and emotional intelligence, combined with AI, will be key for future workers. On taxation, Dalio argues that wealth taxes are impractical and risk triggering asset sell-offs, reducing productive investment. He points to the UK as a cautionary example of debt, low productivity, and political strife. Geopolitically, Dalio foresees a more regionalized world, with the US showing weakness in prolonged conflicts like with Iran, akin to past imperial declines. The ideal outcome, he suggests, is coexisting powerful blocs (e.g., Americas, China-Asia Pacific) without major war.
