Hi @ANgelaH Thank you for the monthly update, may I know if the volume drop is less or more than the general market drop?

Hi @ANgelaH and @benyorke.eth I’m still interested to know how $FX fair against the market. It’s expected that volume dropped past months but is it better or worse than market?

Possible if the team reach out to Angela or Ben?

Thanks for raising the question. I took the trading data from Coingecko and calculated BTC trading vol for the last two months. The average daily volume (ADV) dropped from $76b to $19b (Nov to Dec) which is approximately 75% down. I hope you find this info helpful.

Thanks Angela

It’s nice to know that FX trading volume drop was so much smaller compared to the broarder market (btc).

[Service updates: Marketing-Making from Kronos Research]
Hey guys, we want to inform you that the market-marking service has almost come to its first-year completion.
The last day of market-making will be on March 15th. And with the agreement, we will return the 6.8m FX token loan by March 25th.

Together, we had a bumpy rollercoaster market ride in 2022. We appreciate the FX team and community for the trust in the last year, rain or shine, stood by us. With this in support, we managed to deliver our best performance in effort during those volatile times.

We hope this will not be the end of our journey. A new market-making proposal is being structured currently and I will share it once is ready for review.

Please stay tuned : )

I want to ask a question about the market maker!

Since earlier Kronos accounted for the lion’s share of trading. I understand that the cooperation with Kronos was not renewed. And now the situation with the lack of liquidity is alarming. kucoin, Huobi exchange, new MEXC. Often the daily volume does not exceed $1000. Is there a plan to solve this problem?
