In the perception of countless users, this bull market has presented a previously unseen appearance. Making money has become unprecedentedly difficult. In the past, simply betting on a narrative, such as DeFi, NFT, public chains, or blockchain games, could potentially ride the sector rotation wave and achieve wealth transformation. However, today, although the market continues to introduce new narratives, from Meme, AI+Crypto, RWA to modularization, ZK, Restaking, and more, various labels abound, yet only a few projects have truly delivered. The era of blindly buying in and broad sector rallies seems to have come to an end.

As the market begins to undergo survival of the fittest, as emotional cycles become restrained rather than fervent, narratives and positive news seem inadequate. Opportunities that can truly realize wealth effects have become extremely scarce.

The change in investment pace has also profoundly impacted the community ecosystem.

In this period where filtering high-quality assets is far more challenging than before, various coin-picking Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, inundating with recommendations and airdrop guides, turning information into noise. However, among them, there are not only experienced and trustworthy analysts, but also plenty of rug pullers and rug growers. For ordinary investors, distinguishing truth from falsehood in the midst of redundant information and assessing motives often proves more mentally and physically taxing than making investment decisions themselves.

So, is there a way to no longer rely on rhetoric but instead speak directly through data and historical performance? Is there a tool that can enable retail investors to be strategic, comparable, and daring to participate like institutions?

On July 16, 2025, the world's first licensed on-chain derivatives exchange, Grvt, officially launched "Grvt Strategies," the world's first compliant on-chain peer-to-peer (P2P) investment strategy marketplace.

Grvt has identified the most central issue in the current market: retail investors lack a strategic entry point, cannot differentiate true from false information, and do not have the ability to track traders' live trading capabilities. And what Grvt Strategies aims to solve is to transform professional trading strategies into open markets that are "transparent, verifiable, and reusable," making them openly available to everyone.

As Hong Yea, Co-founder of Grvt, puts it, "Wealth growth should be as simple as sending a message or hailing a ride." This is not just a slogan but a logic of action against market opacity and a reduction in the barrier for retail investors.

If the past bull market was a gamble on luck's revelry, then now is the time to combat uncertainty with strategy, to replace KOL noise with systemic cognition. And Grvt Strategies is the first step in initiating this revolution.

Low Threshold and Transparency, Investment Strategy as Simple as Online Shopping

Grvt Strategies has abandoned the complex dashboards commonly seen in traditional finance and DeFi. Instead of the overwhelming APY, TVL, and Vaults seen on traditional DeFi platforms, users are presented with a clear, intuitive, and well-structured list of strategies. Each strategy comes with a concise description, historical returns, risk management model, and other information. Users can easily select strategies of interest by filtering based on strategy type, expected annual return, maximum drawdown, asset category, and other criteria, just like filtering products.

In the traditional finance sector, most high-quality investment products and structured strategies are only accessible to institutional investors or high-net-worth individuals. Furthermore, these products are often hidden within nested structures, making it difficult for retail investors to access truly top-tier strategies.

Unlike traditional finance and some DeFi platforms, Grvt Strategies is entirely blockchain-based and manages fund flows automatically through smart contracts. All transaction logic and operating rules are openly available on-chain for anyone to review. Not only can one view the strategy's historical performance, but they can also see how the funds are allocated, the trading process, dividend distribution timing, and other details without needing to trust any intermediaries. Importantly, it operates in a non-custodial manner, with users maintaining control of their funds in their own wallets, ensuring they are never misused by the platform or strategy managers.

Neither the high threshold traditional investment system nor the many incomplete DeFi vaults can meet the needs of ordinary retail investors. In this market gap, Grvt Strategies has proposed a solution by aggregating professional-level strategies and launching a Strategy Marketplace, making zero-threshold investment possible.

Of course, Grvt Strategies was not launched hastily but was meticulously planned. The initial launch includes six deeply involved strategy managers, each with strong capabilities and diverse styles, boasting extensive market experience and real-world achievements, spanning backgrounds in traditional finance and quantitative trading. Among them are individuals such as Ampersan, a former key market maker at Optiver with over $400 billion in trading volume, and the team behind the AI crypto quant platform b-cube.ai, regulated as a VASP. There is also Meerkat, a Cambridge University Ph.D. in Mathematics, and experienced traders who have ranked high in profitability on exchanges like Binance and Bybit.

Not Copy Trading, but Simultaneous Trading

Compared to traditional Copy Trading models, Grvt Strategies ensures that retail investors and strategy managers trade simultaneously.

The common copy trading model suffers from time lag and price slippage issues. After a lead trader enters a trade, copycat followers often need to wait for some time to see the trade reflected in their own accounts. Once a significant price fluctuation occurs, followers may end up executing their trades when the asset has already moved up or down, leading to increased buying costs or missed opportunities. This delay of several seconds or even tens of seconds is particularly harmful in high-frequency trading and volatile markets, where repeated occurrences can significantly reduce the profit gained from copy trading.

Due to the delayed nature of copy trading, many well-known Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) even exploit this by using it for profit-taking or rug pulls. KOLs use a large account to trigger follower buy-ins, followed by massive sell-offs through different accounts. Users appear to be "following the strategy," but they actually become "liquidity providers."

On the other hand, Grvt Strategies has abandoned the simplistic copy trading model. Investors do not lag behind to replicate the strategy; instead, they directly participate in the same trade strategy. All operations are synchronously executed through on-chain smart contracts, eliminating additional delays and slippage. In other words, your funds operate in the contract alongside the strategy manager's funds, with identical buy and sell prices, enjoying the exact same investment returns.

Furthermore, traditional copy trading functions are more inclined towards a single trading strategy, lacking support for high-frequency or quantitative strategies. Strategies that require millisecond-level order completion, such as arbitrage and market making, often face delayed responses in copy trading systems. In contrast, Grvt Strategies allows strategy managers to autonomously execute complex trading strategies on-chain, including quantitative algorithms, high-frequency arbitrage, and hedge trading. Retail investors only need to connect to the strategy contract, without the need for manual replication of each trade.

In summary: Traditional Copy Trading is "I'll follow after you buy," while Grvt Strategies is "Let's buy together."

Innovation and Compliance in Debut of P2P Investing

In the development journey of financial technology, P2P was once seen as one of the most disruptive models. P2P transformed the role of financial intermediaries, allowing ordinary users to directly participate in the financial transaction process, bringing about profound changes in cost, efficiency, accessibility, and various other aspects.

However, despite years of development, P2P has always been confined to the lending field. Whether in Web2 or Web3, it has fundamentally focused on the time value of money, where borrowers and lenders agree on an interest rate to facilitate capital flow.

A more imaginative model, a true P2P investment form that enables direct connection between fund owners and strategy executors, sharing profits and risks, has yet to materialize.

Until now, with the launch of Grvt Strategies, the peer-to-peer (P2P) model has been introduced into the investment field for the first time. This is not only a breakthrough at the technological level, but also a comprehensive innovation in terms of model and compliance system. On Grvt Strategies, investors can browse strategies like they are shopping, freely choose to sign one-on-one smart contracts with strategy managers, and have their funds automatically participate in the execution process of the corresponding strategy. More importantly, as a blockchain-based derivative trading platform holding multiple financial licenses, all of Grvt's strategy products are designed and operated within a compliance framework, providing users with unprecedented trust assurance.

Grvt Strategies is able to achieve such innovation thanks to advanced on-chain technology and strict compliance system, with its core logic built on the transparency of smart contracts and blockchain. The platform is built on a high-performance Layer 2 scaling solution such as ZKsync, ensuring efficient and cost-effective operations with cross-chain scalability.

As a licensed derivative trading platform itself, Grvt is at the forefront of the industry in terms of compliance. Every strategy product in its strategy marketplace must pass KYC, AML, historical performance review, risk model testing, and strategy managers must clearly demonstrate their trading philosophy, asset allocation method, and risk control measures, while accepting continuous oversight from Grvt's internal risk management team. User assets are not held by the platform but are directly controlled by the contract, ensuring that no one can misappropriate them.

In addition, the Grvt platform also has fiat onramps, allowing users to purchase stablecoins directly through bank transfers or credit cards, enabling retail investors to enter without the need to register for an additional cryptocurrency wallet or navigate multiple platforms, truly achieving a seamless transition from Web2 to Web3.

The future of finance is a blockchain-based collaborative network where everyone can have access to professional strategies and participate. If the past of DeFi was more like a financial experiment, then Grvt Strategies is becoming the wealth gateway that everyone can access.
