The role of Market Making system in the cryptomarket trading.
There are two sides of Market Making system in the cryptocurrency trading process. Good side is like unregulated crypto laws in the most countries, wide availability of exchanges, high volatility instead the tradition financial markets and the bad ones such as wash trade in game, fake volumes on cryptoexchanges, ICOs/shitcoins/scams etc. In all of this mess is good to know how exactly working Market Making system/service on the various cryptotrading platforms before cryptomarket will get regulation from G20 countries such as traditional financial trading world (like forex, stocks, futures).
