GTE Raises $15 Million in Series A Round Led by Paradigm

Decentralized trading venue GTE has raised $15 million in a Series A funding round led by Paradigm. Key points include:

  • GTE claims to be the fastest decentralized exchange, aiming to compete with HyperLiquid.
  • It achieved over $1 trillion in cumulative trading volume in 2025.
  • GTE plans to target Uniswap and PancakeSwap for more efficient spot trading.
  • The platform will utilize a central limit order book instead of liquidity pools.
  • Co-founder Enzo Coglitore expects latency comparable to Binance and Coinbase.
  • GTE operates on a non-custodial model, allowing users to trade without relinquishing asset custody.

This non-custodial approach aims to mitigate risks associated with centralized exchanges.
