Hybrid Market Infrastructure

Architecture

A Hybrid Market Infrastructure represents a convergence of traditional financial market components with decentralized technologies, notably blockchain, to facilitate trading of cryptocurrency derivatives. This structure aims to bridge the gap between regulated exchanges and decentralized finance (DeFi), offering enhanced capital efficiency and risk management capabilities. Its design incorporates elements of central limit order books alongside automated market maker (AMM) protocols, enabling diverse order types and liquidity provision strategies. Consequently, this architecture seeks to standardize post-trade processes like clearing and settlement, reducing counterparty risk and operational complexity.
