RFQ Attribution, in the context of crypto Request for Quote (RFQ) systems and institutional trading, is the process of assigning responsibility and evaluating the performance of individual liquidity providers or trading venues for executed trades originating from an RFQ. Its purpose is to quantify the value added by each counterparty in terms of price competitiveness, execution quality, and fill rates for crypto options or block trades.
Mechanism
The operational mechanism involves tracking each quote received, the associated bid/ask spread, the speed of response, and the final execution price against a benchmark, such as the prevailing market price or an internal fair value model. Post-trade analysis aggregates this data to generate performance metrics for each provider. Systems often link these metrics to specific RFQ parameters and trade characteristics.
Methodology
The strategic methodology utilizes this data to optimize future RFQ routing and counterparty selection. By understanding which liquidity providers consistently offer superior pricing or execution for specific crypto assets or options structures, institutions can refine their trading algorithms and relationships. This process enhances overall trading efficiency, minimizes market impact, and improves risk-adjusted returns within the institutional crypto options space.
