Market making for token issuers

Market making

Why choose a
market maker?

A professional market maker helps maintain healthy and stable trading conditions by providing continuous liquidity, tighter spreads and deeper order books. This improves execution, reduces slippage and price discrepancies across exchanges, and limits arbitrage opportunities. For token issuers, it also supports stronger market quality, smoother exchange listings and a better trading experience for buyers and sellers.

FAQ for token issuers:

Market making is the continuous placement of buy and sell orders to provide liquidity to a trading market. It helps maintain tighter spreads, deeper order books and more efficient execution for buyers and sellers.

A professional market maker helps prevent inactive markets, wide spreads and excessive slippage. For token issuers, healthy liquidity can also support exchange listings, improve the trading experience and reduce price discrepancies across different venues.

Clients need an active exchange account, sufficient token and quote asset inventory, and API access with trading permissions. The required capital depends on the exchanges, trading pairs, market conditions and agreed liquidity targets.

Orcabay is integrated with more than 50 cryptocurrency exchanges across both centralized and decentralized markets. If we are not already integrated with a specific exchange, our team can complete the integration quickly upon the client’s request.

Profit is not the primary objective of market making. The main goal is to ensure a healthy trading environment through consistent liquidity, competitive spreads and reliable execution.

While wider spreads may create greater profit opportunities, tighter spreads provide a better trading experience. Our strategy is tailored to each client’s liquidity objectives and current market conditions.

Market making for token issuers provides continuous liquidity across CEXs and DEXs, as well as spot and perpetual markets, through automated buy and sell orders. It helps maintain healthy order books, competitive spreads and stable pricing, while reducing slippage and limiting arbitrage opportunities across different markets.

What we provide

Market making as a service

Orcabay operates a fully automated trading system that adapts to the liquidity needs of both established projects and newly listed tokens during the price discovery phase. Our low latency infrastructure provides reliable liquidity across more than 50 exchanges, while our team supports clients throughout the listing process and every stage of the token lifecycle.

DEX market making

Our algorithms provide 24/7 liquidity across both decentralized exchange models, including liquidity pools (LPs) and central limit order books (CLOBs). For concentrated liquidity pools, we allocate capital within customised price ranges to increase depth where it is needed most. This helps reduce slippage, limit arbitrage opportunities, improve capital efficiency and deliver better execution for traders.

Stablecoin market making

A specially designed automated algorithm for stablecoin market making that maintains tight spreads, places continuous bids and offers, and provides reliable liquidity 24/7. The system helps support the 1:1 peg while reducing slippage and improving execution for both buyers and sellers.

Liquidity analytics

We provide our clients with a customisable live dashboard that visualizes more than 20 key liquidity and trading metrics. Detailed weekly or monthly reports offer further insight into market performance, allowing our team to provide practical recommendations tailored to each token’s liquidity requirements.

Smart token liquidation

Using advanced execution algorithms such as TWAP, VWAP and PVOL, we execute large trades while minimising market impact and reducing adverse price movements. Through a separately managed account, clients retain full control over their assets and receive complete visibility into the execution process, supported by detailed reporting.
