In an unexpected twist that would make even the most jaded Wall Street veteran scratch their head, Grvt (which, in case you’ve been living under a rock, is pronounced like “gravity” – because who doesn’t want to feel grounded in their financial decisions?) is making waves by offering retail traders something that was previously reserved for the high-and-mighty institutional crowd: a −0.01% maker fee. Yes, you read that right – you’ll be paid for making markets. They might as well start sending you a thank-you card, right?
- Grvt (and no, it’s not a secret government agency) will give you a −0.01% maker fee. For everyone. Yes, even your grandma.
- This is their grand plan to reward retail liquidity and level the playing field. Because who doesn’t want to be on the same team as institutions?
- DeFi platforms are still lagging behind CEXs in terms of retail adoption. So, naturally, Grvt is like “Let’s fix that.”
In a move that’s more “Screw you, traditional finance!” than “Hey, let’s be nice,” Grvt is making sure that everyone-yes, even the guy who just learned what a crypto wallet is-gets the same advantages that used to be exclusive to those who own multiple yachts. In case you missed it, on August 21, Grvt announced it’s introducing a −1 basis point (−0.01%) maker fee rebate for all users. That means you’ll be literally getting paid to place orders. It’s like buying a product and having the store give you change. The only catch? You have to know how to trade. But hey, we’re all learning, right?
“By offering rebates that pay retail traders for placing maker orders, we’re not only boosting market depth but also creating conditions that attract greater institutional taker flow. This is about extending incentives once reserved for institutions to the broader retail community, ensuring a more balanced and liquid marketplace for everyone,” said Hong Yea, co-founder and CEO at Grvt. It’s nice when the CEO sounds like they actually care.
But Wait! There’s More – DeFi Platforms Still Trail CEXs
Now, before you start thinking this is too good to be true, let’s not get carried away. Despite their best efforts, DeFi platforms are still playing catch-up when it comes to retail adoption. You know those smooth, easy-to-navigate CEXs where you can open an account faster than you can make a cup of coffee? Well, Grvt’s trying to beat them at their own game by giving you lower hidden costs, tighter spreads, and more liquidity. Because what’s the point of being on a platform if you’re constantly paying for the privilege of trading, right?
Now, the numbers don’t lie. In Q2 of 2025, CEXs handled a whopping $3.9 trillion in spot volume. Meanwhile, DeFi exchanges had just $876.3 billion. Ouch. It’s like showing up to a party where everyone else is wearing tuxedos, and you’re still figuring out how to tie your bow tie. But fear not, Grvt is determined to change that.
As a peer-to-peer, self-custodial platform, Grvt is aiming to bring everyday traders into the fold. No, you don’t have to be a cryptocurrency wizard to use it. Thanks to zkSync’s zero-knowledge infrastructure, Grvt is able to offer high throughput and privacy. So now you can trade without your mom asking, “Is that safe?” every five minutes. (Spoiler: It is.)
