Exchange Secures $3.3 Billion Monthly Trading Volume Before Mainnet Launch
The cryptocurrency exchange GRVT has secured a major $3.3 billion monthly trading volume agreement in anticipation of its upcoming mainnet launch.
The deal involves prominent market makers like Galaxy Trading Asia, DV Chain, and CMS, who have pledged to provide this trading volume on a monthly basis. GRVT’s co-founder and CEO, Hong Yea, attributes this achievement to the platform’s innovative hybrid technology.
Yea explained that GRVT aims to blend the strengths of both centralized and decentralized finance, leveraging blockchain for settlement while maintaining the trading infrastructure off-chain for an enhanced user experience. The mainnet is set to launch in the fourth quarter of 2024.

GRVT addresses a common criticism of decentralized finance (DeFi), which often lacks user-friendliness compared to centralized exchanges (CEXs). Yea noted that while DeFi is promising, its complexity often drives users toward CEXs.
The platform has also established partnerships with 16 leading market makers, including Galaxy Trading Asia, Amber Group, and Flow Traders. These collaborations are a key step toward GRVT’s goal of providing a comprehensive platform for trading and investment strategies.
Currently in open beta testnet with over 2.5 million users on its waitlist, GRVT’s $3.3 billion trading volume is notable but still small compared to Binance, which reported over $484 billion in monthly trading volume in August.
