Hybrid Crypto Exchange GRVT Debuts Onchain Retail Price Improvement Orders, Bridging DeFi and TradFi

Licensed hybrid crypto exchange GRVT rolled out retail price improvement orders on its platform, pioneering the integration of a proven traditional market feature into the decentralized ecosystem.
The new offering, available on GRVT’s web and mobile apps, will provide retail users with better execution prices than those publicly available in the order book.
The process is fully automated and transparent: When a user initiates a trade, the system checks for better prices through the RPI behind the scenes. If available, orders are filled at the improved price. All the while users retain complete control of their funds.
Moreover, the system matches the orders of retail traders exclusively with those of non-algorithmic traders, ensuring fair play, targeted liquidity creation, and a balanced trading environment.
«RPI is more than a new order type. It’s a meaningful step forward for the DeFi ecosystem. By delivering better prices to retail users without requiring trust in third parties, GRVT is proving that self-custody and advanced execution no longer have to be trade-offs. It’s a practical improvement that gives traders a real edge, while preserving everything that makes DeFi valuable,» Hong Yea, co-founder and CEO of GRVT, said in a press release shared with CoinDesk.
GRVT is a hybrid exchange that combines off-chain order matching with on-chain settlements, offering a decentralized finance experience with the efficiency of centralized exchanges.
The exchange is hosting a «tap and trade» competition on its web and Android platforms, allowing traders to experiment with the RPI feature in a live environment.
Retail price improvements have been a feature on Wall Street since the early 2000s, with efforts like the NYSE’s Retail Liquidity Program supposedly saving billions for retail investors.

Bitcoin Holds Above $105K Despite Donald Trump’s Threats Against Elon Musk

Bitcoin BTC held firm above $105,000 on Saturday despite an unusually combative and personal escalation in the Trump-Musk feud that could rattle traditional markets next week.
On Saturday, in a phone interview with NBC News, President Trump warned that there would be “serious consequences” if Elon Musk financially backed Democratic candidates running against Republicans who support the GOP’s budget bill. “If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump said, adding later, “He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that.”
Trump, who has often boasted of past support from Musk, firmly dismissed the idea of mending ties. “No,” he said when asked whether he wished to repair the relationship. “I would assume so, yeah,” he added when asked if the rift was permanent.
Despite the intensifying feud between two of the most influential figures in U.S. politics and technology, Bitcoin remained unfazed. The cryptocurrency held onto earlier gains and continues to trade near weekly highs. The market’s composure suggests that traders may increasingly view BTC as a hedge against institutional dysfunction, or at least as an asset insulated from the partisan fallout that tends to impact equities more directly.
Technical Analysis Highlights
- BTC traded in a 24-hour range of $1,162 (1.13%), from a low of $104,624 to a high of $105,786, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model.
- Strong support formed at $104,800, where above-average volume confirmed buyer interest.
- Resistance at $105,200 was broken and has since flipped into a short-term support zone.
- Volume peaked at 378 BTC during key breakout moments, especially around 13:43–13:46 and 13:53.
- A short consolidation occurred between $104,300–$104,600 before the final surge to near highs.
- An ascending price channel remains intact, showing bullish structure despite intermittent pullbacks.

Coinbase, BiT Global End Legal Fight Over WBTC Delisting

Coinbase and BiT Global have reached a legal settlement that ended their dispute over the delisting of BiT Global’s wrapped bitcoin (wBTC) token on Coinbase.
According to a joint court filing, BiT Global has agreed to dismiss its lawsuit against the crypto exchange with prejudice, meaning the case cannot be brought again in the future. The filing notes that both companies will cover their own legal expenses.
BiT Global had filed the lawsuit last year in the Northern District of California after Coinbase delisted the token over what it said was “unacceptable risk” that the tokenized BTC would “fall into the hands of Justin Sun.”
Sun became affiliated with wBTC in August last year through a partnership, prompting Coinbase to question BiT Global about his role. Sun, a Chinese-born crypto billionaire, has nevertheless been supporting the token, with World Liberty Financial dropping its cbBTC for wBTC after he joined as an advisor.
The suit alleged the exchange’s decision was unjustified and harmed the token’s liquidity and reputation while favoring Coinbase’s competing asset cbBTC. Coinbase launched cbBTC just two months before announcing it was delisting wBTC.
The dismissal does not disclose any settlement terms beyond the cost arrangement.
