RFQ, is an electronic notification sent to a selection of counterparties of choice (Makers) requesting a price quote for a specific options or futures strategy. It enables traders to anonymously access aggregated liquidity and pricing from several makers at a time, it is especially useful for large size orders when the depth of the market cannot meet the requirement. Given more and more traditional financial institutions entering the crypto market, RFQ can play an important role in the growth of institutional crypto option trading.
With this partnership, when a user uses RFQ on Bit.com, Bit.com calls Paradigm to obtain quotations from multiple makers and push best quotations to the user. If a user accepts the quotation and confirms the transaction, Bit.com will call Paradigm to initiate the transaction and complete the settlement on Bit.com.
