Genius.fun links community-launched tokens with tokenised public-company shares, aiming to let online groups gain corporate ownership.
Genius Foundation has launched genius.fun, a BNB Chain-based platform that links community-launched tokens with tokenised shares in publicly traded companies.
The platform aims to let online communities launch tokens associated with public companies, accumulate tokenised equity, and even pursue shareholder initiatives. These could include activist campaigns, board representation or, in the company’s stated vision, corporate acquisitions.
Genius.fun allows creators to pair tokens with assets including BNB, USDT and USDC, while users can trade to accumulate tokenised shares. Eligible tokenised positions can also be redeemed for the underlying equity.
According to Genius Foundation, this could give communities a route from token-based market activity to direct ownership of public-company shares. The launch represents a broader attempt to apply crypto-native mechanisms to public-company ownership.
Armaan Kalsi, CEO of Shuttle Labs, said: “We’re excited to see what happens when crypto-native communities launch capital formation vehicles with 2 clicks and, for example, potentially do things like vie for board seats. A new capital formation vehicle with power to affect the real world is inherently exciting.”
