This one particularly solves one of the key problems, that helps institutional investors from playing around in the virtual asset class.

“A regular retail client might never experience the lack of liquidity on, let’s say, Binance. But LMAX’s liquidity dwarfs Binance’s liquidity, making Genesis Markets quite lucrative for funds and crypto sharks alike.”
Genesis further added: “Having such a reputable and legitimate powerhouse on our side makes us feel much more confident about the prospect of fiat gateways,”
Genesis Market mainly aggregates liquidity from multiple exchanges to provide deeper order books to its clients and the firm’s platform is linked to Binance. The company is undergoing negotiations with several other exchanges to join with them.
