Crypto exchange liquidity

Crypto exchange liquidity, so your order books are full on launch day

Mirror the order book and trades of major pairs from Binance onto your own markets, and keep a two-sided book for tokens that trade nowhere else. Users get tight spreads and instant fills while your own community grows.

Why liquidity decides whether a new exchange survives

A trader who opens your BTC/USDT market and sees three orders with a wide gap between them will not place a fourth. They will go back to an exchange where a market order fills at the price on the screen. Without depth, your own users cannot trade with each other either, because there are too few of them at the start.

Market makers solve this for large exchanges, but they rarely sign with a venue that has no volume yet. The liquidity module fills that gap from the first day, and steps back naturally as real orders from your users join the book.

Real prices

Your markets show the same prices traders see on the largest venue.

Real depth

Dozens of price levels on each side, updated in real time.

Instant fills

Market orders fill at once against the best levels.

Your users first

Their own orders sit in the same book and trade with each other.

Provider markets

Mirroring Binance onto your markets

For any pair that also trades on Binance, switch on liquidity in the market's settings and choose the Binance symbol. One background process then mirrors that pair's order book and recent trades onto your market, for every market you have switched on.

  • Order book levels on both sides, updated continuously
  • Recent trades in the trade history panel
  • Last price, 24-hour high, low and volume in the ticker
  • Chart candles that match the market

The markets list and home page show 24-hour change and small price charts built from the same real prices.

Your own tokens

Market making for tokens that trade nowhere else

A new project token, your exchange token or a coin on a custom chain has no Binance book to copy. For these markets, a separate process acts as a market maker: it keeps buy and sell orders on both sides around a price path you configure, with natural movement instead of a flat line.

This gives a newly listed token a usable book and a readable chart while its community forms. When outside market makers or your own users bring enough orders, you can switch it off for that market.

For a market that is listed today, the chart history tool can also draw past price data, so the chart is not empty on the first day. Generated history is stored separately from real trades.

How orders fill

How user orders interact with mirrored liquidity

Mirrored levels are not decoration. User orders really fill against them, under clear rules.

Best price wins

A market order takes the better of your users' resting orders and the mirrored levels, level by level.

Used levels disappear

A level that is filled is removed, and a partly filled one is reduced, so the same depth cannot be taken twice.

Users trade users

Limit orders from your users rest in the book and match each other first when they offer the better price.

No self-trades

A user's order never fills against their own resting order.

Normal fees

Fills against liquidity pay the user's normal maker or taker fee.

Bots and margin too

Trading bots and margin orders use the same book and the same rules.

When a user fills against mirrored liquidity, the exchange is the counterparty. If you want to offset that exposure on an outside venue, the Enterprise package includes a custom liquidity setup built for your markets.

Managing it

Run liquidity from the admin panel

  • Turn liquidity on or off per market in the market settings
  • See every liquidity and trading service with its status and last heartbeat
  • Start, stop and restart services from the browser
  • A health score for the whole market stack on one screen

Services run under a process manager that restarts them if they stop. Your team rarely needs to log in to the server for day-to-day running.

FAQ

Crypto exchange liquidity questions

Which package includes the liquidity module?

The liquidity module is included from the Standard package up. The Enterprise package adds a custom liquidity and trading bot setup. See pricing.

Where does the liquidity come from?

For pairs that trade on Binance, the order book and recent trades of the same pair are mirrored onto your market. Tokens that do not trade there can use the built-in market maker.

Do user orders really fill?

Yes. Market and limit orders fill against the mirrored levels at the prices shown, and the used levels are removed from the book.

Can my own users trade with each other?

Yes. Their orders sit in the same book. When a user offers a better price than the mirrored levels, other users fill against them first.

Does the server location matter?

Yes. Your server must be in a country that the liquidity provider accepts connections from. We check this with you before installation.

Can I list a token that is not on any other exchange?

Yes. Use the market maker for custom tokens to keep a two-sided book around a price path you set, and switch it off once real liquidity arrives.
