EchoTrade is a crypto market maker for token projects. Market making is the continuous placing of buy and sell orders so a token can be traded without large price gaps, and EchoTrade runs that book across 90+ centralized exchanges for 100+ active projects.

Founded in 2023, the company was built around traders and quants first, and the desk now runs with 20+ traders. Its focus is the market structure side of a token launch: the depth, spread and uptime that exchanges measure after a listing, and the preparation in the weeks before one. EchoTrade has supported more than 2,000 token launches and is an official Liquidity Partner of MEXC.

Market Making

Continuous two-sided quoting across every venue in scope, through the trading day and overnight, measured in depth, spread and uptime.

• Retainer only. No token loans, no call options, no profit share, and no custody of client tokens.

• Scheduled reporting against the depth and spread agreed per venue, so the work can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Listing Support

Application preparation and launch-day coordination for centralized exchange listings.

• Integrated across 90+ exchanges, so venue selection is based on where a token realistically fits rather than on ambition.

• Covers the day itself: which venues open first, what depth is funded on each, and how the announcement is timed against it.

Treasury

Execution and unlock planning for a project's own holdings.

• The project keeps custody throughout. Execution runs through the project's own accounts and multisig.

• Planned alongside the market making, so treasury activity and the order book are not working against each other on the same venues.

Consulting

Advisory on the decisions that set how a token trades, before they lock.

• Usually the earliest engagement, two to three months before TGE, while tokenomics and vesting can still change.

• Coordinates the wider launch stack, audit, legal and marketing, through existing partner relationships.

EchoTrade does not publish a client list. Engagement detail is available under NDA on a call. The work falls into three types:

• Pre-TGE launches. Engaged four to six weeks before a listing to position inventory across venues, agree depth and spread targets per exchange, and coordinate launch day. More than 2,000 token launches supported since 2023.

• Exchange compliance reviews. Tokens flagged by an exchange for falling below its published market-quality thresholds, brought back inside the venue's depth and spread ranges within the remediation window.

• Multi-venue coverage. 100+ active projects quoted across 90+ centralized exchanges, with pricing kept consistent between venues so arbitrage gaps stay small.

EchoTrade hired traders and quants before it hired anyone else. The desk runs with 20+ traders, up to three assigned to a single asset during a launch, and someone is watching the book at every hour a market is open.

The compensation model is the practical difference. EchoTrade works on a monthly retainer only, with no token loans, no call options, no profit share and no custody of client tokens. A desk paid in borrowed supply has a position in where the price goes. A retainer desk does not, which is what makes its reporting worth reading.

The third part is the ecosystem around the desk. A launch needs tokenomics, an audit, legal and marketing, and most founders source each one blind. EchoTrade coordinates those alongside the market side through partners it already works with, so the pieces are ready before the listing rather than in the week they were needed.
