RFQ Weighting refers to the systematic assignment of relative importance or priority to various evaluation criteria within a Request for Quote (RFQ) process for crypto-related services or products. This defines how different aspects of a vendor’s proposal will influence the final selection decision.
Mechanism
In an institutional crypto RFQ, specific parameters such as bid-ask spread, execution latency, supported digital assets, collateral requirements, regulatory compliance, and security attestations are assigned numerical weights. A higher weight indicates greater significance to the procuring entity. The mechanism aggregates scores across these weighted criteria to produce an objective overall vendor ranking, facilitating comparative analysis.
Methodology
The strategic approach involves aligning RFQ weighting with the institution’s primary operational objectives, risk appetite, and system architecture requirements. For instance, a firm prioritizing minimal slippage for large orders might heavily weight execution latency and liquidity depth. This methodology ensures that the evaluation process systematically favors vendors whose capabilities directly address the institution’s most critical needs, optimizing the selection for performance, security, and cost-efficiency in crypto trading and infrastructure.
