FNG has learned that Ben Bilski, founder and former CEO of the Hamburg-based online broker NAGA Group (ETR:N4G), is preparing to launch a new venture in the crypto trading sector.

Ben Bilski departed NAGA Group nearly a year ago, as exclusively reported by FNG at the time, after the company reached an agreement to be acquired by CAPEX.com. Bilski had served as CEO of NAGA Group from 2015 to 2023, before transitioning to the role of CIO and handing the CEO position to then-COO Michael Milonas. This shift occurred as NAGA’s shares declined, amid concerns over dwindling revenues, significant losses, excessive spending, and looming debt obligations.

Since departing NAGA, Ben has gone into "stealth mode" for the past 12 months, only breaking his silence today to reveal what he has been working on. In a detailed social media post (see below), Ben outlined a "new way of trading in crypto," which integrates democratized liquidity pools and market making, a proprietary blockchain, social investing elements (a key aspect of NAGA’s strategy during his tenure as CEO), along with an AI-powered ecosystem designed for traders. Ben described his crypto plans as "game-changing" in his post, which also called for potential investors and others interested in joining his new venture.

Ben Bilski’s social media post today states the following.

A New Era of Crypto Trading is Coming

Over the past 18 months, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing token launches with valuations reaching hundreds of millions—and even a billion dollars—traded by hundreds of thousands of people. The scale, speed, and impact have been nothing short of epic.

After years in crypto (since 2014), scaling companies from the ground up to IPOs, and executing large-scale projects, I took a step back to evaluate the imbalances and opportunities in the space. And what I discovered was truly exciting—a loophole that could change everything.

So, what’s next?

I’m creating a new way of trading in crypto, combining: ✅ Democratized liquidity pools & market making
✅ A proprietary blockchain designed for scalability & efficiency
✅ Strong social investing elements
✅ An agentic AI ecosystem designed specifically for traders

(And no, this isn’t just buzzwords—this will be game-changing.)

I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the best minds in crypto and know what it takes to go big. And I’m still hungry for more.
