Market makers act as traders who promote liquidity in the market to ensure efficiency in trading by holding large amounts of assets that can be bought or sold in a very short period of time. However, digital asset exchanges have a primary interest in traders who create liquidity and trading volume on its platform. Therefore, exchanges incentivize traders accordingly.

Market Maker refers to a company or individual who is involved in the two-sided market of a particular security. This means that it provides the bid and ask together with their respective market sizes. Market makers seek to profit from the bid-ask spread and provide liquidity to the financial market.
