Crypto Exchange WOO X Raises $9 Million for Strategic Liquidity Boost

The crypto exchange Woo has secured $9 million in a recent funding round. The capital injection came from existing and prospective market makers trading platform. The capital injection aims to enhance liquidity on Woo’s exchange, the company said in a statement published on its website.

In a comment, Woo Co-founder Jack Tan expressed excitement about the extended collaboration with market makers on WOO X. He emphasized the $9 million funding as a testament to their confidence in the platform.

Tan said:

“We anticipate liquidity on WOO X to improve substantially in the next few months, starting with BTC and ETH perpetual futures markets and expanding into altcoin perpetual futures and all spot markets.”

Key participants in the funding round included prominent liquidity providers such as Wintermute and Amber. Such involvement showcases a diverse range of contributors beyond individual market makers.

WOO X transitioned from a single liquidity provider, Taiwan-based market maker Kronos Research, in the third quarter of the previous year. It said in its announcement that this has already contributed to diversifying WOO X’s liquidity source.
