Crypto-Asset Market Making Services
Windy Financial LLC provided market making services for specific crypto-asset securities, most notably the BXY token on the Beaxy exchange and the DRGN token. As part of a group of firms referred to as the “Braverock Entities,” it entered into agreements to provide two-sided liquidity by continuously offering to buy and sell tokens at quoted prices, thereby improving order book depth and reducing price volatility for end traders.
The service addresses the critical problem of illiquidity and wide trading spreads in thinly traded digital asset markets, making trading more efficient and reducing slippage for investors on platforms like Beaxy.
For crypto platforms, the primary pain point is low liquidity for listed tokens, which results in a poor trading experience. For investors, the company offers a vehicle to gain managed exposure to digital asset strategies without needing to trade assets directly.
