GTE, a decentralized trading platform, has successfully raised $15 million in a Series A funding round led by Paradigm. The platform is positioning itself as the “world’s fastest decentralized exchange,” a title often associated with HyperLiquid, which achieved over $1 trillion in trading volume in 2025. GTE aims to not only match HyperLiquid’s speed but also compete with Uniswap and Pancake Swap by offering more efficient and cost-effective spot trading. Unlike the liquidity pool model of Uniswap, GTE plans to use a central limit order book for matching trades. Co-founder Enzo Coglitore anticipates that GTE’s latency will be comparable to that of major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase. Importantly, GTE will operate as a non-custodial platform, allowing traders to maintain control over their assets and mitigating risks associated with centralized exchanges.
