GRVT, a self-custodial hybrid exchange, has integrated with CoinRoutes, a leading order execution management system, to enhance institutional access to decentralized trading.
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.
The integration comes as institutional interest in decentralized exchanges rises. In January 2025, mainstream DEXs recorded $454.1 billion in spot trading volume, according to a press release shared with crypto.news.
This is a 40% increase from $323.89 billion in December 2024. As institutions seek secure and compliant trading environments, hybrid models like GRVT’s — combining self-custody security with centralized exchange efficiency — are gaining traction.
CoinRoutes’ platform allows institutional traders to access GRVT’s liquidity and trading tools through a single interface.
Features include smart order routing, execution algorithms, transaction cost analysis, and cross-exchange arbitrage, enabling institutions to optimize trade execution and manage risk more effectively.
Institutional incentives via the partnership
To encourage institutional adoption, GRVT and CoinRoutes will launch 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 promote high-frequency and large-scale trading.
GRVT co-founder and CEO Hong Yea described the integration as a step toward making institutional DeFi trading more secure and efficient.
“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,” Yea said.
CoinRoutes co-founder and CEO Ian Weisberger highlighted the need for institutions to access multiple trading venues through a unified platform with sophisticated execution tools.
