Market Maker Capacity

Definition

Market maker capacity refers to the total volume of digital assets that market-making entities are willing and able to provide to facilitate trading on exchanges. This capacity is determined by factors such as their capital reserves, risk appetite, and algorithmic efficiency. A higher market maker capacity generally leads to deeper order books, tighter bid-ask spreads, and improved market liquidity. It is crucial for efficient price discovery and reducing slippage for large trades.
