What October 10th Revealed About Market Makers

Auros CCO Jason Atkins joined CoinDesk Live at Consensus Hong Kong to debunk the "evil" market maker narrative, arguing that liquidity providers are the primary defense against catastrophic volatility. Atkins explains how recent market dislocations exposed the risks of a system without market makers, where absent liquidity makes assets uninvestable for pension funds and major institutions. He highlights the growing competition between centralized exchanges and on-chain venues like Hyperliquid, while detailing why Hong Kong is destined to "run back the playbook" as the definitive gateway for Western capital to access Eastern markets. - #cryptocurrency #digitalfinance #finance #bitcoin #crypto Subscribe to CoinDesk on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/CoinDesk?sub_confirmation=1 CoinDesk is the leading digital media, events and information services company for the crypto asset and blockchain technology community.
