Does the Market Maker’s Capital Base Influence the Required Minimum RFQ Size?

Yes, a market maker's capital base significantly influences the minimum RFQ size. A larger capital base allows the market maker to absorb greater potential losses from adverse price movements and to fund larger inventory positions.

This ability to absorb risk allows them to quote tighter spreads and accept smaller minimum RFQ sizes.
