YZ Capital: Market Making That Actually Works
The Problem
The crypto market making industry has a credibility gap.
Outside a handful of elite firms, most market makers are charging premium prices for mediocre service. Projects pay $10-50K monthly fees for poorly configured Hummingbot instances that can't scale, react slowly to price movements, and fail to deliver consistent liquidity.
We've seen the pattern repeatedly: opaque reporting, inconsistent performance, and misaligned incentives through risky loan-based compensation structures.
The industry can do better. So we built YZ Capital.
Our Approach
We're a crypto market maker built on three principles: institutional-grade technology, complete transparency, and aligned incentives.
Built by Engineers, For Performance
Our team comes from top-tier hedge funds and market making firms. We're not traders who learned to code—we're engineers who understand markets.
While competitors rely on off-the-shelf solutions, we built our infrastructure from scratch in C++. Our execution engine operates with sub-20 microsecond latency, matching the sophistication of institutional players.
What this means for you:
- Tighter spreads for your community
- Better price support during volatile periods
- Efficient capital deployment
Real-Time Transparency
We're confident enough in our product to show you exactly what we're doing, in real-time.
Every client gets access to a live dashboard showing:
- Real-time PnL across all pairs
- Exact balance positions on every exchange
- Market depth contributions at each price level
- Volume metrics and spread performance
- Bot uptime and system health
No weekly PDF reports. No delayed metrics. No black box. Just complete visibility into your market management, updated in real-time.
Incentives That Make Sense
We don't do token loans. We don't take options. We work on retainer.
Why? Loan and option-based models create conflicts of interest. When a market maker controls millions of your tokens with the option to sell, they're incentivized to maximize their exit, not support your price.
Our retainer model aligns us with your success. We're paid for quality market making, not financial engineering around your token supply. It's cleaner, more transparent, and builds long-term partnerships.
Who We Are
YZ Capital was founded by engineers from institutional trading firms who've built systems processing billions in daily volume. We've brought that expertise to crypto.
We're deliberately selective about clients. We'd rather deliver exceptional service to fewer projects than spread ourselves thin. When you work with us, you work directly with the people who built the technology.
Let's Talk
If you're tired of overpaying for underperformance, or launching a project that deserves best-in-class market making from day one, reach out.
The market making space is ready for an upgrade. We believe the path forward is technology, transparency, and proper incentives.
