How Do Options Trading Platforms Manage Liquidity for Exotic Derivatives?

Platforms for exotic derivatives often rely on professional market makers who commit capital to quote bid and ask prices. Some decentralized platforms use specialized AMMs designed for the complex payoff structures of exotic options.

Centralized platforms may also employ request-for-quote (RFQ) systems to source liquidity from institutional counterparties for large or unique trades.
