GRVT, a self-custodial hybrid exchange, has integrated with CoinRoutes

The partnership allows institutional traders to execute on-chain trading strategies using CoinRoutes' trading infrastructure, reflecting the growing demand for institutional participation in decentralized finance.

GRVT, a self-custodial hybrid exchange, has integrated with CoinRoutes, a leading order execution management system, to facilitate greater institutional participation in decentralized trading.

The partnership will allow institutional traders to easily use CoinRoutes’ advanced trading infrastructure for on-chain trading strategies, reflecting the growing demand for institutions to engage in DeFi.

This integration follows a surge in institutional interest in DEXs, with mainstream DEXs reporting $454.1 billion in spot trading volume in January 2025, a 40% increase from December 2024, according to data from CoinRoutes.

As institutions prioritize secure and compliant trading environments, hybrid models that combine the security of self-custody with the efficiency of centralized exchanges are coming to the fore.

CoinRoutes’ technology will grant institutions seamless access to GRVT’s liquidity and trading instruments through a single integration point.

Institutions will be able to leverage CoinRoutes’s platform to perform smart order routing, deploy various execution algorithms, analyze transaction costs, and engage in cross-exchange arbitrage, ultimately enabling them to optimize trade execution and minimize trading-related expenses.

To encourage optimal institutional participation, GRVT and CoinRoutes will be rolling out a two-phase partnership incentive program. The first phase will focus on new institutional user registrations with signup bonuses.

The second phase of the partnership will introduce a comprehensive trading incentive program, offering a range of benefits such as volume-based rebates to promote high-frequency and large-scale trading activity.

“We are excited to integrate with GRVT to provide institutions with a smooth onboarding experience and advanced trading capabilities within the CoinRoutes ecosystem,” said Ian Weisberger, co-founder and CEO of CoinRoutes.

“Institutions today need to access multiple trading venues through a unified platform that is equipped with sophisticated execution tools to effectively manage their trading activities.”

Hong Yea, co-founder and CEO of GRVT, added that the integration marks a significant step toward making institutional DeFi trading more secure, efficient, and accessible.

“By combining our unique hybrid model with CoinRoutes’ industry-leading trading infrastructure, we are setting a new benchmark for institutions seeking secure, efficient, and compliant DeFi solutions.”
