Binance Releases New Market Maker Risk Guidelines

 Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has released a new comprehensive guideline outlining risks associated with market makers.

The document, issued on March 25, 2026, aims to increase transparency and reduce market manipulation practices in the crypto industry.

### Key Points from Binance’s New Guidelines:

- Ban on revenue-sharing and guaranteed return models between projects and market makers.

- Prohibition of any agreements that could lead to price manipulation or artificial liquidity.

- Projects are required to conduct strict due diligence when selecting market makers and must disclose token usage in lending agreements.

- Identification of six major “red flags,” including:

  - Excessive or premature selling that conflicts with token unlock schedules.

  - One-sided selling pressure without matching buy activity.

  - Coordinated selling across multiple exchanges at the same time.

  - High trading volume with minimal price movement (potential wash trading).

  - Sharp price volatility despite low liquidity.

Binance stated that it will take swift and decisive action against violations, including adding non-compliant market makers to its blacklist.

This new guideline comes amid ongoing concerns about liquidity provision practices and is seen as an effort to strengthen market integrity and protect the long-term health of the crypto ecosystem.
