Modex partners with GSR to boost liquidity

GSR, a global cryptocurrency trading firm, partners with Modex to help increase market support.

On cryptocurrency liquidity

In the crypto world, liquidity refers to the degree to which an asset can be quickly either bought or sold without the price being significantly affected. Market makers like GSR help to increase both accessibility and liquidity of cryptocurrencies to traders in real-time on a global scale.

The higher scope for the liquidity provider is to bring greater price discovery, underpinning some vital practices in the market such as hedging, whereas, for example in the commodities markets, companies must invest regularly to prevent their businesses from declines or increases in prices.

MODEX Token

Designed as the governing currency of the Modex ecosystem, the MODEX Token has gained the trust of stakeholders ranging from individual end-users to large enterprises. The whole ecosystem is made both of a strong and active community and a set of products and services where new synergies between assets, users, and organizations are continuously created.

Joining forces with GSR only strengthens trust between members of our community and what the entire Modex team is continuously building, creating fertile ground for Modex to become a crypto liquidity powerhouse. Low liquidity for a company leads to wide bid-ask spreads in their order books and increased volatility, making it difficult for traders to get a fair price for their trade, something Modex is fairly preoccupied with to avoid fostering dramatic price swings mitigation, accommodating large institutional investors, assisting with fair price discovery and more orderly entry and exists points for traders.

From a simple thought to a real partnership

What proved to be an exploratory conversation three years ago, based on mutual trust and interest in each company’s core business between GSR and Modex turned into a real partnership today. In this timeframe, the global leader in crypto trading and market-making, GSR produced a clearly defined list of services, expanded its team capacity, and established itself more strongly in the market, leading to a second conversation which turned out to be the right timing on both ends for this partnership to become reality.

GSR’s deep crypto market expertise going back more than nine years allows them to get a quick understanding of where a company stands in terms of product maturity and how to help add further value. In a crowded, noisy market it can be difficult to build trust, but this partnership is living proof that Modex headed in the right direction, all backed up by a strong authority in the market.
