Stronghold is launching a market-making program to increase liquidity so we can maintain an active, reliable trading platform where customers can access competitive pricing.

Market makers are institutions or individuals who have agreed to buy and sell assets at publicly quoted prices. Because they’re always available to facilitate trades, market makers keep transaction costs low and reduce delays.

Liquidity — the measure of how easily a token may be bought or sold — is at the heart of inventory and delivery issues in the digital asset industry. An exchange where orders are filled quickly and successfully without price fluctuations is liquid, compared to illiquid markets, which are beset with volatile pricing and fewer trading opportunities.

Why Market Make on Stronghold?

Stronghold market makers receive detailed daily performance reports and access to robust APIs. Additionally, Stronghold provides market-making customers with lucrative incentives and waives maker/taker fees that are commonly charged by other exchanges.

0% withdrawal fees (excluding network fee)
