Samuel Drnda Rejects Multi-Million Dollar Acquisition Offers — Staying Independent to Build the Future of Decentralized Trading

Published

on

While competitors get absorbed by exchanges, HyroTraders founder focuses on building the worlds first decentralized, multi-exchange prop trading infrastructure.

Prague, Czech Republic, 3rd November 2025, ZEX PR WIRE— In an era where billion-dollar acquisitions reshape the trading landscape, Samuel Drnda, founder and CEO of HyroTrader, made a bold and defining decision — he refused multiple acquisition offers worth tens of millions of dollars, choosing vision, innovation, and independence over a lucrative exit.

The offers followed the high-profile acquisition of Breakout by Kraken, one of HyroTrader’s main competitors. Shortly after, Drnda was approached by two of the worlds largest forex prop trading firms and one of the biggest global crypto exchanges, each seeking to fully acquire and absorb HyroTrader’s rapidly growing trading ecosystem.

“Each offer had the same condition — total control,” said Drnda.
“They wanted to buy everything we’ve built and integrate it into their structure. But HyroTrader was never built to be sold. It was built to change how the prop trading industry works.”

A Vision Too Big to Sell

Founded in 2020, HyroTrader quickly evolved from a trading platform into one of the fastest-growing crypto prop trading firms in the world, empowering over 30,000 active traders and achieving consistent month-over-month growth.

By 2024, HyroTrader was featured multiple times as the Best Crypto Prop Firm by leading trading and fintech media outlets — a recognition that reflected both its innovation and trader-first approach.

Today, HyroTrader is setting a new global standard with Hyro Protocol, the first decentralized, non-custodial crypto prop trading infrastructure built on Solana.

“From day one, our vision was to build a decentralized prop firm connected to multiple trading exchanges — a true on-chain ecosystem where traders, investors, and liquidity providers interact transparently,” said Drnda.
“We’re not just another prop firm. We’re creating the infrastructure for the next generation of crypto prop trading firms.”

From Bootstrap to Billion-Dollar Vision

HyroTrader’s rise is even more remarkable because it was built entirely without venture capital.

“In the early days, no VC wanted to invest even $200,000. We decided to bootstrap everything from scratch,” said Drnda.
“Now, the same institutions that once ignored us are offering tens of millions to acquire us. That’s the power of staying true to your mission.”

Today, HyroTrader operates profitably and independently, already valued in the hundreds of millions and on track toward becoming the first decentralized billion-dollar prop trading ecosystem.

Beyond Money: The Power of Purpose

Despite the life-changing offers, Drnda’s decision to remain independent was rooted in conviction, not calculation.

“I come from a middle-class family — the offers I received would have changed my life,” he said.
“But I’ve already achieved more than I ever dreamed of. At this stage, it’s not about money; it’s about building something meaningful with people I believe in and creating real impact for traders worldwide.”

After the refusal, Drnda earned even greater respect from the HyroTrader team, partners, and trading community, strengthening the company’s culture of purpose-driven innovation.

“Many founders dream of an exit. I dream of evolution — of building a decentralized, transparent, and trader-owned future.”

The Next Phase: Hyro Protocol

With Hyro Protocol, Drnda and his team are developing the foundation for the next generation of decentralized prop trading firms.
Built on Solana, the protocol will connect multiple trading exchanges into one unified infrastructure, allowing traders, investors, and liquidity providers to interact seamlessly and verifiably on-chain.

“Our mission is to democratize access to trading capital, remove intermediaries, and empower traders globally,” said Drnda.
“Hyro Protocol isn’t just another product — it’s the infrastructure that will power the decentralized trading economy.”

About HyroTrader

HyroTrader is one of the fastest-growing and most recognized crypto prop trading firms in the world, empowering more than 30,000 traders with performance-based funding and transparent trading conditions.
Featured multiple times as the Best Crypto Prop Firm, HyroTrader is now building Hyro Protocol — the first decentralized, non-custodial, multi-exchange trading infrastructure on Solana.

Founded by Samuel Drnda in 2020, HyroTrader’s mission is to democratize access to trading capital and build the foundation for the next generation of decentralized prop trading firms.

Merrick Hollander Announces Next-Generation Learning Infrastructure at Harborstone Society

Published

on

Merrick Hollander has introduced a next-generation AI-powered learning infrastructure at Harborstone Society, designed to transform financial education through adaptive analytics, real-time simulation, and intelligent curriculum design.

United States, 3rd Nov 2025, Grand Newswire – Building the Foundation for Intelligent Learning

Under the direction of Merrick Hollander, Harborstone Society has launched an advanced educational infrastructure that integrates artificial intelligence with interactive learning systems. The initiative aims to modernize the financial education landscape by merging academic theory with practical, data-driven experiences.

Merrick Hollander Announces Next-Generation Learning Infrastructure at Harborstone Society

The new framework is designed around modular AI architecture, allowing learners to progress through adaptive stages that align with their performance and comprehension. By analyzing behavioral data and simulation outcomes, the system customizes each student’s learning path—creating a more personalized and efficient educational process.

Integrating Technology and Education

This next-generation infrastructure incorporates predictive analytics, behavioral modeling, and real-time data visualization. Learners can experiment with simulated market conditions, test investment strategies, and analyze risk within controlled virtual environments.

According to Hollander, “Financial learning should reflect how markets behave—not how they’re described in textbooks. With AI and simulation, education becomes a living system that evolves with the learner and the world economy.”
This approach empowers students to experience decision-making in real time, building practical competence alongside theoretical understanding.

Adaptive Design for Modern Finance Professionals

The infrastructure also includes the integration of smart evaluation tools that continuously monitor cognitive performance, analytical reasoning, and emotional decision tendencies. These adaptive feedback systems ensure that each participant strengthens not only technical proficiency but also the discipline and critical thinking essential to professional finance.

Harborstone Society’s approach combines classroom education, applied AI systems, and live data environments to cultivate professionals who can adapt to the rapid evolution of modern financial systems.

Global Collaboration and Research Expansion

The project extends beyond institutional education, with Harborstone Society planning partnerships with universities, research centers, and fintech organizations worldwide. These collaborations aim to expand AI learning methodologies and create a unified academic ecosystem for data-driven investment education.

Through this initiative, Hollander reinforces his long-standing commitment to bridging the gap between artificial intelligence, behavioral economics, and practical finance.
