Market Makers and Liquidity Provision
Market makers are integral participants in ensuring consistent liquidity, price stability, and competitive spreads on our cryptocurrency exchange. By placing both buy and sell orders within defined price ranges, market makers mitigate volatility, facilitate smoother trading experiences, and attract organic liquidity from retail and institutional traders.
Liquidity Requirements and Depth Targets
To establish robust initial liquidity and foster organic growth, market makers will adhere to structured depth requirements and liquidity provisions as outlined below:
Initial Phase (1–3 Months)
Level 1: Maintain a minimum liquidity depth of $500,000–$1,000,000 within ±2% of the average market price for primary trading pairs (e.g., BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT).
Level 2: Provide enhanced liquidity depth of $1,000,000–$2,000,000 within ±2% of the average market price for primary trading pairs (e.g., BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT).
Growth Phase (3–6 Months)
Level 1: Expand liquidity depth to $3,000,000–$5,000,000 within ±3% of the average market price.
Level 2: Further deepen liquidity to $5,000,000–$10,000,000 within ±3% of the average market price.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Market makers will be evaluated against the following performance metrics:
Bid/Ask Spread: Maintain target spreads below 0.1% for leading pairs.
Slippage: Limit slippage to a maximum of 0.5% for orders up to $100,000 during the growth phase.
Trading Volume:
Level 1: Achieve minimum daily trading volumes of $10M–$15M in Q1 to stimulate organic liquidity.
Level 2: Reach daily trading volumes of $15M–$20M to reinforce liquidity depth.
