How I Choose Exchanges for Market Making ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ“ˆ

Not all exchanges are equal when it comes to market making โ€” and trust me, the devilโ€™s in the details.

Hereโ€™s what I look at before deploying capital and infra:

1๏ธโƒฃ Rebate & Fee Structure:

Binance gives up to -0.005% maker rebate, and even the top 5 get daily rewards. Plus, 0% fees on selected pairs. A solid edge for scalers.
WhiteBIT offers up to -0.02% on futures, and -0.01% spot rebates. Add personalized deals based on monthly volumes โ€” pretty competitive.

Bitget? Tiered maker rebates starting at -0.015%, depending on monthly volume. Clear structure = easy planning.

2๏ธโƒฃ API & Infrastructure:

WhiteBIT is super infra-friendly: colocation, webhooks, FIX 4.4, and real-time orderbook via WebSocket.
Binance gives increased API rate limits, crucial for latency strategies.
Bitget boosts your subaccount & API limits.

3๏ธโƒฃ Support & Tools:

Round-the-clock dedicated support can save you time and headaches. WhiteBIT and Bitget provide 24/7 personal assistance. Plus, handy features like subaccounts for risk management help me keep trades organized.
The right exchange powers your strategy โ€” balancing cost, tech, and support is key. Always test the waters with trial periods and check leaderboard transparency.
