An ECN (electronic communication network) is basically a dope hangout spot for lots of liquidity providers (LPs), both from the bank squad and the non-bank crew, who keep sliding their prices into the ECN. 💸
The ECN will then mash up all these prices.
When you peep at the whole lineup of mashed-up vibes on an ECN, you'll see it's got mad layers of liquidity. 😮💨
Liquidity Providers are all about throwin' out smaller ticket size pricing to the ECNs 'cause it lets them flex tighter spreads, knowing they ain't sweating about getting slammed with huge requests on those spreads. 🔥
The LPs are also hip to the fact that by slaying the pricing game, they get the chance to be the “Top of Book” (ToB) and snatch business away from the ops. 🔥
The endgame is having a super tight ToB. 🙌
