Today I was chatting with a friend who does quantitative trading, and it suddenly made me realize something.
I used to always think that what matters most for a trading platform is the number of users.
Later, a friend who does quant told me a line: “The ones who truly choose a platform aren’t retail traders—they’re market makers.” He said that if a platform’s rules are unstable and its matching quality isn’t good, then even with more subsidies, professional teams won’t stay long-term. Because what they earn is long-term money, not money from a single campaign.🫤
This line reminded me of grvt_io, which I’ve been paying attention to lately. The official statement mentions that multiple institutions have already joined in market making. Of course, I won’t fully believe it based on a single number—real liquidity still needs to be assessed after the mainnet and the TGE by looking at the order book. But at least this suggests that from the design stage, it wasn’t only focused on retail traders.
Many people open a trading platform and look at trading fees first.$BTC
Market makers, though, care about something completely different: order execution, system stability, risk-control rules, and whether the system can run normally even under extreme market conditions.
Sometimes, a platform’s ability to retain professional liquidity is more valuable than any marketing campaign.
So now when I study GRVT, I won’t just focus on the hype—I want to see whether, going forward, it can truly keep these professional players.@grvt_io #grvt
