Market Making

Market making is the practice of a market participant that provides two-sided quotes (a bid and an ask) for a security or other instrument to supply liquidity and facilitate trading on an exchange or venue.

Example: Example: A market maker on a U.S. equity venue lists a bid of 100.00 and an ask of 100.05 to provide depth and enable participants to trade around those levels.
