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.
