No. Paradigm does not engage in market-making activities in any financial market.
Absolutely not! Paradigm does not engage in any proprietary trading activity.
No. Paradigm is 100% non-custodial. We never take custody of your fiat or digital assets. Custody is handled by our settlement partners (CeFi exchanges) or directly on a blockchain (DeFi protocols).
