A Multi-Maker Quote refers to a Request for Quote (RFQ) system where a single price inquiry from a taker is simultaneously broadcast to numerous market makers. Each market maker then responds with their executable bid and ask prices. Its core purpose is to foster competition among liquidity providers, enabling the taker to secure the most advantageous price for a desired crypto asset or derivative trade, thereby optimizing execution quality.
Mechanism
The mechanism operates within a specialized electronic trading system or a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol designed for RFQ interactions. A taker submits an order intention, specifying the asset, size, and trade direction. This request is then efficiently propagated to a curated pool of eligible market makers. Each maker independently calculates and submits a firm, executable quote. The system aggregates these responses, presenting the taker with the most favorable price among all received quotes for immediate acceptance and execution.
Methodology
The methodology behind multi-maker quotes applies principles of competitive market design and efficient price discovery to institutional crypto trading. It reduces information asymmetry and transaction costs for takers by incentivizing market makers to offer tight spreads and competitive pricing. For institutional options trading and large block trades, this framework ensures optimal execution, minimizes market impact, and enhances overall liquidity efficiency within structured RFQ environments by leveraging broad market participation.
