Bitcoin and in general, cryptocurrency have had a large walk from users. However, many of the terms used in the market have been misinterpreted for a long time, one of these terminals the Drak Trading and Dark Pools, you can say that they are private and independent bags compared to the public bags. They are not so well known because in many places it is a new concept, in addition to that its name is given to misinterpretation, since many think there illegal operations are carried out there.
The Dark Pools are a platform to exchange and negotiate our cryptocurrencies in a 100% anonymous way where its liquidity funds can not be seen by the public. It is used mostly so that organizations and large companies can negotiate a large number of cryptomones in a discreet and anonymous way, which is one of the great characteristics of the Dark Pools.
Although we can not know its exact volume, an approximation of one between 15% and 40% volume of operations in the wide stock market can be made. The objective was to solve the liquidity problem with the cryptocurrency that as we already know, it is a very recurrent problem with the cryptocurrency, but they can imagine what is the difference with a common and current Exchange, and it is the fact that the Dark Pools does not have A book of orders in sight of all, in this way, the users who participate do not reveal their identity and the trading are made mostly through packages with a high amount of cryptocurrency.
They appeared for the first time in 1980 and since then they have become great importance in trading, we are going to put an example, I want to sell a part of the actions of my company in a public market, there must give much of my information and declare my Intentions by which you sell these actions, in addition, there is a risk that the value of such actions decrease due to offers. With the Drak Pools I can sell these actions without making statements and did not run the risk of decreasing my actions.
Functioning:
First, it is necessary to mention that you are not open for all public and only people with a lot of cryptocurrencies can use it. Only investors can create a Dark Pools where you can get more accessible prices compared to the public market.
The Dark Pools function in a similar way to a common cyber market, among the differences we have that liquidity in the Dark Pools is collected from outside the market, either using FIX and / or APIs, but this liquid is not announced intentionally , in addition to not showing the operations in a public way, but in case they have to do it either by a legal obligation, they will be, but with a great delay (what is legal as possible) and this way is reduced by the Impact of transactions.
Investors form Dark Pools from the books of Brokers or Liquidity Sources outside the market, in addition, they offer investors many of the advantages associated with the form of negotiating markets of markets, but Without spreading your information. Transactions are recorded as OVER The Counter, so, only investors involved in an operation can know the details of it and these can decide to publish them or not.
The Dark Pools allows the movements of large volumes of money without the great investors must say so that it is neither to show their faces, in addition, that in the traditional market it makes it difficult to move this amount of money without affecting the price, of this way Both parts of an operation are protected.
The Dark Pools can be an excellent way to do operations by large sums of money and always have anonymity, which is something that appreciates much of these great investors. However, and despite the fame of these dark groups, many users do not go because they believe that there are many fraudulent businesses there and may find some things there, but I consider it a good place for large investors to perform their millionaire operations without Give problems for small investors as most of us.
