SSV community, find below the market-maker performance update.
The broader market is reeling from Geopolitical tension and widened uncertainty. Crypto has bucked the trend. BTC dominates the positive momentum which has started to trickle down towards Alts.
The big news is that US courts are expected to give a mandate to the SEC regarding the Greyscale ETF (Some anticipating it will be handed down on Friday) paving the way for an BTC ETF approval.
SSV’s price movement has been positive. ~7.00% up in the last 7 days.
A few notes to explain what you are seeing:
• “7d Avg Spread” is the average spread from the best performing spread market (Binance USDT pair).
• “4% Liquidity” is ±2% from midprice liquidity sitting in the books across all exchanges
• In the individual pairs, the “2% Liquidity” is ±1% from the midprice liquidity sitting in that individual pair
There has recently been a debate in the community about your performance, both on the forum and Discord.
Would you mind chiming in and presenting the community with some data proving your efficiency and performance? Also, please present a plan to improve in case you agree with some of the claims.
Overall, we’d like to see you more active on our Discord and answer to community questions.
Hey @BenAffleck, thanks for the feedback and update. We take these claims very seriously and try to achieve and maintain a high standard. I’ll add some extra insight into the concerns raised in the coming days.
I would like to highlight that we facilitate organic trade and provide an optimal environment for trading - we will never participate in manipulating prices and the market dynamics. Our weekly updates highlight that.
Related to Discord, we’ll look to contribute and have more of a presence there, too.
thanks for your prompt feedback. Everyone is interested in maximum transparency, so we don’t have to rely on trust only.
My job is to represent the needs and concerns of ALL community members, even if it is a minority. That’s why I have conducted a few interviews and collected the following questions, we’d like to get answered, so everyone can look at the data and derive the real picture from it.

Can you provide a historical record of your delta exposure over the past 6 months?

Is there a practice of selling high and buying low? What is your weekly plan? You should publish your posts with detailed data every week, instead of some unnecessary and seemingly useless data and weekly news summaries. We have no knowledge of your operations. Please answer the questions in the posts in detail. Thank you
