Market Making

How Market Makers Help the Market

Market makers play an important role in increasing the accessibility and liquidity of cryptocurrencies to traders, investors, and market participants around the world. Market making is an activity whereby a trader simultaneously provides liquidity to both buyers and sellers in a financial market. Liquidity is the degree to which an asset can be quickly bought or sold without notably affecting the stability of its price.
