New standard sets clear expectations for responsible crypto market making as global market structure regulation takes shape
NEW YORK: #blockchain--With regulation accelerating and institutions increasingly entering the digital asset space, the Crypto Market Integrity Coalition (CMIC) is taking a decisive step to raise the bar for market making integrity.
Today, CMIC — a 51-member industry alliance launched in 2022 — announced the launch of the CMIC Industry Standard for Market Making in Digital Assets, the first unified best-practices framework for market making in crypto.
The standard addresses the current gap in clear, actionable best practices for integrity-driven digital asset market making. It provides practical guidance on conflict of interest disclosure and management, market abuse prevention, and global compliance alignment — highlighting a collective effort by leading crypto firms and the broader industry to proactively tackle integrity challenges in this critical market function.
“Market making is the backbone of liquid, efficient markets — but crypto’s structure introduces novel risks, especially around conflicts of interest and manipulation,” said Chen Arad, Co-Founder of Solidus Labs. “This Standard demonstrates that the industry can act ahead of regulation — offering firms and policymakers a blueprint for what responsible, transparent digital asset market making looks like.”
The CMIC Industry Standard for Market Making in Digital Assets offers a robust framework for firms that provide or rely on market making services.
Key components include:
The Standard is supported by 51 CMIC member firms, including major exchanges, liquidity providers, brokerages, industry associations, custodians, and infrastructure providers — many of which are directly involved in or rely on market making.
Initiated in 2022 by Solidus Labs, CMIC has become a leading unified industry voice for responsible crypto innovation, and its 51-strong membership comprises leading firms like Coinbase, Circle, Bitstamp, Gemini, GSR, BitMEX, Robinhood, and others. Prior to today’s release, CMIC has published a Consumer Bill of Rights, a formal Market Integrity Code of Conduct and Pledge, built the CMIC Academy, and submitted multiple industry letters to policymakers, all available on the coalition’s website. CMIC is actively developing further standards to address market integrity challenges surrounding shared-surveillance, tokenization, staking, fraud, and other issues.
