GRVT Introduces Retail Price Enhancement Orders Onchain, Advancing the DeFi–TradFi Convergence

GRVT Brings Wall Street-Style Price Improvement to DeFi With New Onchain Order Type

GRVT, a licensed hybrid crypto exchange, has introduced a new retail-focused feature: onchain Retail Price Improvement (RPI) orders—aimed at enhancing execution quality for everyday traders while preserving self-custody.

Now live on GRVT’s web and mobile platforms, the RPI system works by automatically checking for better quotes from partnered market makers and executing trades at improved prices if available. These orders are processed off-chain for speed but settled on-chain for transparency and user control.

Unlike traditional DeFi platforms, GRVT’s RPI is designed to exclude bots and algorithmic traders, giving retail users exclusive access to improved pricing sourced from curated liquidity providers.

“This is how retail trading in crypto should work—better prices, more fairness, and no compromises on control,” said CEO Hong Yea.

The move mirrors traditional finance practices, such as the NYSE’s Retail Liquidity Program, but tailored for the decentralized world. GRVT’s hybrid architecture bridges the gap between CEX efficiency and DeFi principles, combining fast off-chain order matching with on-chain custody and finality.

To mark the launch, GRVT is running a “tap and trade” campaign, inviting users to experience the feature in action.

With this rollout, GRVT continues to blur the lines between TradFi-grade execution and DeFi-native accessibility.
