We bring institutional-grade liquidity, execution, and reporting to the digital asset space.
As a Designated Market Makers (DMMs), DLP provides essential liquidity for new and existing token offerings. By contractually committing to 24/7 passive liquidity tiers DLP reduces slippage and maintains high execution quality for market participants. DLP provides monthly liquidity reports, real-time dashboards and clear communication - no black boxes.
DLP advises on exchange listing options and leverages its deep relationships with exchanges to get listings where otherwise listings would be difficult to get. DLP also uses its high trading volume with exchanges to negotiate favourable listing fees for clients.
By maintaining stable bid-ask spreads and ensuring reliable transactions, DLP boosts confidence in the token, which attracts a diverse range of traders, institutional interest and encourages broader market adoption.
DLP dynamically provides consistant liquidity to Decentralised Exchanges which expands the tokens reach to users who prefer on-chain self custody and/or do not have access to centralised exchanges. This further encourages broader market adoption.
DLP facilitates off exchange block trades for large sizes on behalf of foundations or large holders, to minimise market impact.
DLP facilitates compliant buybacks and atm offerings for foundations, utilising proprietary algorithms to minimise market impact and achieve excellent execution quality.
