What Market Makers Actually Do in Crypto and DeFi

In this episode, we speak with Jonathan Mathai, Director at G20 Strategies, to unpack how market making works across crypto, DeFi, and traditional finance. Jonathan explains the role of market makers, how liquidity is created in both order book and AMM-based markets, and why uptime, slippage, and volume matter for healthy market structure. The conversation also explores yield generation, risk management, hedging strategies, and how market makers navigate volatility, MEV, and emerging tools like AI as crypto markets continue to mature.
