The Bullish crypto exchange operates a high-performance central-limit-order-book matching engine and DeFi-derived order Liquidity Pools to run automated market-making and yield farming services. The Bullish Order Book pairs the high performance of a traditional Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) with Automatic Market Maker (AMM). Every trading pair is managed by customizable AMM instructions, which reward asset holders who provide liquidity to the asset pair. AMM instructions enable clients to trade and earn income at scale across highly variable market conditions.
Besides, note that Bullish crypto prices are stabilized by deep liquidity and tight spreads.
