Think trading platforms are just for retail speculators? Think again.
The real infrastructure play is what happens under the hood. Developers and quant teams need robust tooling—and that's where the game changes:
→ Trading APIs that let you automate strategies without babysitting screens → Bot frameworks so you can deploy, test, and iterate fast → Raw market data feeds for building proprietary dashboards → Liquidity optimization playbooks that actually work at scale
This kind of builder-first approach? It's what separates platforms that fade out from those that capture serious volume. Power users don't stick around for flashy UIs—they stay for deep liquidity and reliable execution infrastructure.
When you give developers the tools to build, they bring the volume. And that volume? It keeps markets alive.

Well said, it all depends on the underlying infrastructure. Those platforms that only focus on UI will eventually fail, while developers are the real deal.

You are right, retail investors' money can't support the market at all. The real liquidity comes from those quantitative teams with toolchains, whose capital games are the backbone of the market.

You are right, infrastructure is the core, no matter how fancy the UI is, it is useless.

You are right, APIs and infrastructure are the key; no one really cares about flashy UIs.

The ngl builder infrastructure is king; those platforms that only focus on pretty UI will eventually cool down.

Finally, someone has hit the nail on the head. Most people are still focusing on the candlestick charts, unaware that the real money is in the infrastructure.
