In addition, exchanges have access to market data, including order flow and trading volumes, which could be used to give an unfair advantage over other traders.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, with control over the trading platform and their trading desk, exchanges may be able to manipulate the market, including artificially inflating trading volumes and creating misleading market trends.<\/p>\n<div class=\"group w-full text-gray-800 dark:text-gray-100 border-b border-black\/10 dark:border-gray-900\/50 bg-gray-50 dark:bg-[#444654]\">\n<div class=\"flex p-4 gap-4 text-base md:gap-6 md:max-w-2xl lg:max-w-[38rem] xl:max-w-3xl md:py-6 lg:px-0 m-auto\">\n<div class=\"relative flex w-[calc(100%-50px)] flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3 lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)]\">\n<div class=\"flex justify-between lg:block\">\n<h2 class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center mt-2 gap-2 md:gap-3 lg:gap-1 lg:absolute lg:top-0 lg:translate-x-full lg:right-0 lg:mt-0 lg:pl-2 visible\">Crypto.com says there's nothing to worry about<\/h2>\n<p>Crypto.com told the FT that its internal market maker is treated &#8220;exactly the same&#8221; as third-party market makers on the exchange.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding its trading team, the firm said its traders hedge their positions on different platforms to ensure Crypto.com remains &#8220;risk neutral&#8221; &#8211; adding that it does not rely on its trading desk as a significant source of revenue, which mostly comes from its retail trading app.<\/p>\n<p>Unnamed sources cited by the FT alleged that Crypto.com's trading desk primarily aims to generate money, not to facilitate an exchange, and that it had asked employees to deny the existence of an internal trading team and in-house market maker operations.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto.com said it had not requested staff to lie to other market participants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Due to the hostile U.S. regulatory landscape, the firm is set to <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/crypto-com-to-halt-us-institutional-exchange-offering-retail-users-unaffected\/\">close<\/a> its institutional exchange in the country this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto.com has an internal trading team and operates as a market maker on its platform, highlighting a potential conflict of interest, reported the Financial Times.
