Understanding Market Making
Market making plays a critical role in ensuring liquidity within trading environments, both in traditional finance and crypto. Market makers provide passive liquidity by participating in exchange markets, increasing efficiency and reducing slippage for traders. They may operate on multiple exchanges, benefiting from trade volume, while also helping bootstrap liquidity on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) through incentives. The two primary types of market making are exchange market making and designated token market making, each requiring different strategies to ensure a vibrant trading ecosystem.
