GRVT Hits $8B Total Trading Volume, Partners with rhino.fi to Enhance Cross-Chain Self-Custodial Trading
HAMILTON, Bermuda, June 19, 2025 /CNW/ -- GRVT, the world's first licensed onchain exchange, is teaming up with rhino.fi, a leading intent based liquidity network for seamless cross-chain access experience across both EVM and non-EVM networks. Users can now deposit to and withdraw from GRVT directly using BSC, Arbitrum, Solana or TRON via rhino.fi, which can expand to over 30 chains supported by rhino.fi in the future.
Only one week after the integration's soft launch, a transaction volume of 500K was achieved. This growth is expected to accelerate as user confidence increases.
As part of a wider DeFi TVL surge (over $2.4 billion in TVL added to derivatives protocols in the past year), GRVT crossed a major milestone, hitting $8 billion in total trading volume, according to DefiLlama.
Average spreads on GRVT have also been significantly tightened since its Mainnet launch, meaning better liquidity, lower slippage, and more value per trade for traders, as noted on GRVT's X account.
Hong Yea, co-founder and CEO of GRVT, commented, "Our partnership with rhino.fi marks an important step toward seamless self-custodial trading onchain. By enabling users to bridge assets directly into GRVT from across chains, we're tearing down the technical and accessibility barriers that have long held back true DeFi adoption. For the GRVT and rhino.fi communities, this means faster onboarding, broader access, and a frictionless trading experience without compromising the custody of user funds."
rhino.fi co-founder and CEO Dan Yanev added: "GRVT exemplifies the promise of appchains, combining high performance with regulatory readiness. At rhino.fi, we're proud to connect GRVT to the broader DeFi ecosystem through instant, zero-slippage transfers."
Starting June 23, the two platforms will host a joint campaign to incentivize users bridged via rhino.fi, with a share of up to 12,000 USDT and 700,000 GRVT Points for grabs. Users can earn rewards simply by bridging into GRVT and trading during that window. Full details will be available on GRVT's and rhino.fi's social media channels.

Valour Launches Four New ETPs on Spotlight Stock Market: Mantra (OM), Tron (TRX), Stellar (XLM), and Tether Gold (XAUT)
Valour Expands Nordic Footprint with Four New Listings: Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, has launched SEK-denominated ETPs for Mantra (OM), Tron (TRX), Stellar (XLM), and Tether Gold (XAUt) on Sweden's Spotlight Stock Market, broadening investor access to diversified digital asset exposure. Exposure to Emerging Protocols and Tokenized Gold: These new ETPs provide regulated access to a range of assets—from tokenized gold to real-world asset protocols—serving growing investor demand for both traditional and next-generation blockchain applications. On Track Toward 100 ETPs by Year-End: With these additions, Valour now offers over 70 digital asset ETPs across leading European exchanges, reinforcing its leadership in the market and accelerating progress toward its goal of 100 ETPs by the end of 2025. TORONTO, June 18, 2025 /CNW/ - DeFi Technologies Inc. (the " Company" or " DeFi Technologies") (Nasdaq: DEFT) (CBOE CA: DEFI) (GR: R9B), a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance ("DeFi"), is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Valour Inc., and Valour Digital Securities Limited (together, " Valour"), a leading issuer of exchange traded products (" ETPs") has launched four new SEK-denominated ETPs on the Spotlight Stock Market in Sweden: These new listings further broaden Valour's presence in the Nordics and strengthen its mission to deliver secure, transparent, and regulated access to a diverse range of digital assets through traditional brokerage platforms. About the Newly Listed ETPs Valour Mantra (OM) ETP Mantra is a leading protocol focused on real-world asset tokenization and compliant DeFi infrastructure. As institutional interest in tokenized financial products grows, OM plays a critical role in bridging traditional finance with on-chain applications. Valour Tron (TRX) ETP Tron is a high-performance, layer-1 blockchain known for its high throughput, low fees, and strong presence in DeFi and entertainment-focused applications. With billions of daily transactions and one of the largest stablecoin networks, Tron remains a top digital asset by market capitalization. Valour Stellar (XLM) ETP Stellar is a blockchain optimized for global payments and remittances. Its consensus protocol and low-cost transactions make it ideal for cross-border financial infrastructure, particularly in emerging markets and institutional settlement use cases. Valour Tether Gold (XAUt) ETP Tether Gold (XAUt) is a token backed by physical gold, offering the security of a hard asset with the accessibility of a digital token. The ETP provides investors with exposure to tokenized gold via a regulated, exchange-listed product, appealing to those seeking a hedge against inflation and fiat currency risk. Each product can be purchased and sold through standard brokerage platforms, offering streamlined access for both retail and institutional investors. The management fee is 1.9% for OM, TRX, and XLM, while Tether Gold (XAUt) features a fee of 0.45%. Executive Commentary Johanna Belitz, Head of Nordics at Valour, commented: "The launch of these four new products reflects our continued commitment to Nordic investors. We're seeing increased demand for diversified exposure—not only to large-cap crypto assets but also to gold-backed tokens and emerging protocols like Mantra. With the world's first ETP on Tether Gold, we're bridging traditional gold investment with the transparency and efficiency of blockchain. Our goal is to deliver that access in a simple, familiar, and fully regulated format." Elaine Buehler, Head of Products at Valour, added: "These new ETPs represent a major leap forward, not only offering access to leading digital assets like Tron and Stellar but also bridging real-world financial systems with next-gen blockchain protocols. What makes them extraordinary is their ability to unlock new markets—Mantra's tokenized real-world asset focus is revolutionizing compliance in DeFi, while Tether Gold offers a digital-native solution for investors seeking the stability of gold as a hedge against inflation." With these new listings, Valour has now surpassed 70 digital asset ETPs—offering the most comprehensive lineup in Europe—and remains on pace to reach its goal of 100 ETPs by the end of 2025. These products are currently listed on major European exchanges including Spotlight (Sweden), Börse Frankfurt (Germany), and Euronext (Paris and Amsterdam), with continued expansion planned in additional global markets.
