Tron is thrilled to announce that Wintermute is now the official market maker for TRX and a strategic partner of the entire Tron ecosystem. In this capacity, Wintermute will provide liquidity for major TRX pairs across various exchanges, boosting greater accessibility to the TRX token. This strong alliance will foster further growth of Tron as the go-to global layer-1 blockchain.
“This latest partnership between Wintermute and Tron is an extension of our efforts to partner with leading DeFi projects and offer our support through what we do best: making markets more liquid. We’re thrilled for the opportunity to contribute to the Tron ecosystem as a liquidity provider.” – David Micley, director of business development at Wintermute.
Earlier this month, Wintermute became the latest whitelisted member to join the Tron DAO Reserve, gaining access to minting and redeeming USDD, the overcollateralized decentralized stablecoin powered by the Tron network.
Wintermute provides liquidity for digital assets and, as a leading global market maker, has helped a multitude of high-profile projects. Wintermute has a selective approval process before it begins partnering with a particular digital asset. Accordingly, Wintermute has a track record of working with the most prominent projects, which is further strengthened by its partnership with Tron and USDD.
Other market-making initiatives that Wintermute will provide for Tron’s native utility token, TRX, include providing coverage across centralized and decentralized exchanges, fostering more competitive spreads during all types of market conditions, offering insights on market conditions to help create a sustainable liquidity model and more. Wintermute will also provide strategic guidance to help better the Tron ecosystem.
Every major project in the Web3 space needs a reliable and innovative market maker. Wintermute aims to drive a tailored model, using the initiatives mentioned above, to reduce market takers or crypto whales’ influence over asset prices.
Such an approach leads to a more decentralized ecosystem that allows for greater user autonomy. Wintermute is lowering barriers for general market participants by providing liquidity on major exchanges, which, in turn, reduces disruptions and slippage during trading.
Tron is proud to partner with Wintermute strategically and looks forward to continuing to work toward their shared goal to decentralize the web.
About Tron DAO
Tron is dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and decentralized applications. Founded in September 2017 by Justin Sun, the Tron network has continued to deliver impressive achievements since the mainnet launch in May 2018.
July 2018 also marked the ecosystem integration of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services boasting over 100 million monthly active users. The Tron network has gained incredible traction in recent years. As of August 2022, it has over 109 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 3.7 billion total transactions, and over $13.2 billion in total value locked, as reported on Tronscan.
In addition, Tron hosts the largest circulating supply of Tether (USDT) stablecoin across the globe, overtaking USDT on Ethereum in April 2021. The Tron network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a community-governed decentralized autonomous organization.
Most recently, the overcollateralized decentralized stablecoin USDD was launched on the Tron blockchain, backed by the first-ever crypto reserve for the blockchain industry, Tron DAO Reserve, marking Tron’s official entry into decentralized stablecoins.
