On-Chain Trading Expands as GRVT Integrates with CoinRoutes

GRVT, a self-custodial hybrid exchange, has partnered with CoinRoutes, a leading order execution management system, to enhance institutional access to decentralized trading. This collaboration allows institutional traders to execute on-chain trading strategies using CoinRoutes’ infrastructure, highlighting the growing institutional interest in decentralized finance (DeFi).

The integration aligns with the increasing demand for decentralized exchange (DEX) participation from institutional players. In January 2025, DEXs recorded a 40% increase in trading volume, reaching $454.1 billion in spot trading, compared to $323.89 billion in December 2024. As institutions seek secure and compliant trading environments, hybrid models like GRVT’s, which combine the self-custody security of decentralized systems with the efficiency of centralized exchanges, are becoming more attractive.

CoinRoutes’ platform will allow institutional traders to access GRVT’s liquidity and tools through a single interface. Features such as smart order routing, execution algorithms, transaction cost analysis, and cross-exchange arbitrage will help institutions optimize trade execution and manage risk more effectively.

To further incentivize institutional adoption, GRVT and CoinRoutes will roll out a two-phase incentive program. The first phase offers signup bonuses for new institutional users, while the second phase provides trading incentives and volume-based rebates to encourage high-frequency and large-scale trading.

GRVT’s co-founder and CEO Hong Yea emphasized that the integration sets a new benchmark for secure, efficient, and compliant DeFi solutions, making institutional participation in decentralized trading more accessible. CoinRoutes co-founder and CEO Ian Weisberger added that institutions need unified access to multiple trading venues with advanced execution tools, and this partnership addresses that demand.
