Wintermute exec raises concerns over CeFi price discovery, urges more DeFi usage

To address inefficiencies in price discovery in centralized finance and over-the-counter markets, Wintermute co-founder Yoann Turpin calls for more DeFi adoption. In a social media post, Yoann Turpin , the co-founder of Wintermute , an algorithmic trading platform that focuses on building liquidity in digital asset markets, called out the challenges that come with price discovery in the crypto industry. Turpin claims that centralized exchanges like Binance engage in private arrangements between big buyers and sellers, creating risk in how consumers interact with different projects across the crypto ecosystem, skewing market opportunities in favour or larger players. “The role of a market maker is to help price discovery by offering liquidity so that people with opinions can express those opinions by buying or selling,” Turpin said.

He adds that Wintermute does not engage in such marketplaces, underscoring the challenges of price discovery in environments defined by restricted liquidity and smaller market dynamics, which he says is poised to make Wintermute a greater participant in the DeFi ecosystem.
