IMO either:

- This is generated FUD for them to get cheaper bitties

or

- They know crypto is fucked (via their friends at the SEC) and are cutting their losses

The trading desk was canned, the trading desk takes a call, 'hello bergstein plz buy 100k', then he fulfills the order with the worst possible spread he can engineer and takes a fee for this service.

The desk does not sit around speculating on the price of bit coins, he does not fucking buy and hold, he merely provides a service in exchange for profits, the desk cannot operate if it cannot guarantee it will win.

If it could collect enough fees from big nosers who do not do trivial shit like make their own trades it is still viable, because he can still merely take the fees, obviously insufficient interest to do more than funnel through polo, not surprising.

>> No.10970083

Liquid platform has launched that’s why.

>> No.10970149

>>10969326
it was popular before, peaks of 2 billion 24hr volume, maybe a few million in fees per day, currently much less.
>>10969283
It doesn't threaten their business model at all, they do not give two shits what you trade, merely that you go through them to do it.
