“A lot of [token] projects are fooling their own trader community or investors by faking these wash trades or these volumes. They give legitimate market makers a bad name. Still, global regulatory developments are progressively making it more difficult for such businesses to thrive." says Mathias Beke, Kairon Labs Co-Founder and CTO. Crypto market-making involves several ethical considerations that uphold market integrity. With recent crackdowns on dodgy firms, it’s especially important for projects to determine what separates legitimate market makers from unethical ones. We are grateful that Cointelegraph finally sheds light on the reality of market making and all its nuances. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gP75_Vm6

In a recent interview with Metaverse Post, Mathias Beke shares the highs, lows, and the blend of #innovation and ethics needed to drive success in crypto #marketmaking. “In a bear market, we enhance, improve, and do research on the strategies. You don’t have time in bull markets to do that. In bull markets, there are a lot of inefficiencies, which is great, but then you see smaller players coming back in and starting to trade, so the competition is a bit higher.” Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/gV7rVAMv

Here’s a founding fact: Failure played a huge role in our success. In my recent podcast with Mark Kilaghbian, we discussed the early days of Kairon Labs and what drove our success. When we first started Kairon Labs, we took on numerous projects without much filtering, which led to quite a few mistakes — mistakes that have since taught us invaluable lessons. And of course we are still learning today! Learning has become a core component of our business, from better evaluating potential projects to more efficiently assessing tokenomics. These experiences have been crucial in honing our ability to spot early warning signs and understand what makes a project successful, ultimately strengthening both our business and client relationships. Staying open and adaptable has allowed us to transform every challenge into an opportunity to refine our strategies and enhance our services, making our team more resilient and effective.  In this sense, I truly believe that each setback has been a pivotal learning opportunity that has propelled us forward and is perhaps exactly what our company needed at that time. Special thanks again to Mark. If you’d like to listen to the full conversation on the Cryptoconomy podcast, you can check out the links here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eidFi7DY 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e8UHzGAt

During a discussion with Cointelegraph, Mathias Beke highlighted the importance of #automation for market makers: “We are talking about optimization of microseconds, which obviously is not possible by humans. Without automatization, our business would not be scalable at all.” Beke comments. Beke estimates that without bots, his business would need to hire about 200 more people to properly operate as a market maker. 🔗 Read more about this topic here: https://lnkd.in/gUaYvAJ5
