- On Variational Omni you never trade against a dealer
OLP is the sole counterparty and hedges outside.
-On Pro there is no OLP at all
a fund posts an RFQ, several dealers quote, both sides lock $USDC in a settlement pool, risk stays bilateral. Pro cannot launch with one partner.
It needs a quoting consortium, anchor takers and someone to clear and finance OLP's hedges.
- The same settlement pools serve both products: Omni, Pro and TradFi in one breath.
My suggestions
✅ A dealer consortium that quotes Pro and feeds Omni's swaps
DRW/Cumberland
IMC
Flow Traders
Optiver
Chicago and Amsterdam, the cities Lucas named
✅ Anchor takers where the pain is Asia, where OTC still trades by phone.
The 2025 strategic round (Mirana, Caladan, Zoku) was already described as Pro design partners.
✅ One clearing and financing counterparty behind OLP Marex
StoneX
or a bank swap desk.
