Imagine launching a new derivatives market as easily as preparing instant noodles. Traditionally, creating a market required an elaborate setup: like sourcing ingredients for a complex dish, waiting for cooks (market makers) to arrive, and slowly assembling each part. With Amplified Liquidity, however, everything is ready to go, just add trader demand, and a new synthetic market springs to life.
Amplified Liquidity: The Game-Changer for Synthetic Markets
Amplified Liquidity allows exchanges to skip the slow, manual process of finding market makers for every new product. Instead of isolating liquidity in separate pools for each market, this approach connects and aggregates liquidity across related products. By pooling liquidity, traders gain immediate access to deeper and more responsive markets, ensuring that new synthetic markets have robust order books from the outset.
This method goes beyond simply pooling liquidity; it empowers exchanges to create synthetic order books for new markets, such as futures spreads, without waiting for specialized liquidity providers. In turn, exchanges can launch innovative products rapidly while preserving market depth and the intuitive trading experience users expect.
The Matching Engine: Powering Instant Product Innovation
Amplified Liquidity is powered by a matching engine designed for derivatives. It does more than process orders; it enables instant creation of synthetic, liquid markets, removing the need for native market makers. Exchanges can offer new instruments as soon as there’s demand, using pooled liquidity from spot, perpetual, and term contracts.
To deliver the speed and reliability of instant market creation, the matching engine must meet several critical requirements:
- Purpose-Built for Derivatives: The engine supports the complex mechanics of spot, inverse, and quanto futures, handling funding, netting, and product-specific features. Without this specialization, synthetic markets couldn’t accurately reflect underlying products or maintain integrity in pricing and settlement.
- Transparency and Auditability: Immutable recording of trades and events ensures compliance and future-ready blockchain integration. This is essential for trust and for meeting regulatory standards as new synthetic markets emerge rapidly.
- Real-Time Risk Management: Instant updating of margin and P&L is crucial for robust oversight, especially as synthetic markets grow. Without real-time risk controls, participants would face undue exposure and systemic risk.
- Ultra-Low Latency: Sub-millisecond matching and the ability to handle over a million orders per second allows the system to keep pace with dynamic, high-volume markets. This is key to delivering the “instant” experience promised by Amplified Liquidity.
Making Synthetic Markets Real—No Market Maker Required
Amplified Liquidity bypasses traditional gatekeepers: to launch a BTC perpetual-term spread, there’s no need for a market maker to quote both legs; liquidity is drawn independently from each market.
The engine aggregates liquidity from both BTCUSD perpetual and term futures books, creating a synthetic order book instantly. Traders place spread orders executed atomically, with seamless handling of both sides. There’s no waiting, dry order books, or reliance on dedicated market-makers for each new product.
- Liquidity from relevant markets is instantly combined.
- Synthetic order books appear as soon as there’s interest.
- Orders are matched across underlying markets in real time. There is no leg risk, there is no slippage.
This model lets exchanges respond instantly to trends and demand, offering liquid markets for any viable product without needing to recruit market makers.
Why Amplified Liquidity Is a Quantum Leap for Exchanges and Traders
- Instant Market Creation: New synthetic markets go live without waiting for specific liquidity providers.
- Deeper, Unified Liquidity: Pooled capital means tighter spreads and better fills across products.
- Accelerated Innovation: Exchanges can roll out new derivatives products rapidly, with liquidity ready from day one.
- Reduced Execution Risk: Atomic matching minimizes slippage and ensures multi-leg trades aren’t left half-filled.
- Capital Efficiency: Market makers concentrate resources where needed, rather than spreading thinly.
Conclusion: The Era of Instant Synthetic Markets
Amplified Liquidity is a paradigm shift. Just as instant noodles deliver a complete meal with minimal fuss, this system frees exchanges from fragmented liquidity and constant market-maker recruitment, enabling instant creation and trading of synthetic markets. Every ingredient is prepared, every step is immediate, ensuring that the future of derivatives is as dynamic, efficient, and innovative as the most convenient meal. The result is a market that offers exchanges and traders unmatched speed, convenience, and flexibility. No waiting required.
