How Coinwatch Is Exposing Market Maker Manipulation | Co-Founders Matt Jobbe & Brian Tubergen

Crypto's murky market making practices are finally getting sunlight. We sit down with Coinwatch co-founders Matt Jobbe and Brian Tubergen to uncover how market makers have been quietly influencing token prices, the call-option structures enabling extraction, and how shady tactics have hurt retail. Then, we explore how Coinwatch Track is bringing real-time transparency to the space using trusted execution environments (TEEs), giving projects verifiable insights into what market makers are really doing with their tokens—and why this might just restore trust and open the door for more liquid capital to enter crypto. ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🪙FRAX | SELF SUFFICIENT DeFi https://bankless.cc/Frax 🦄UNISWAP | SWAP ON UNICHAIN https://bankless.cc/unichain 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 🟠BINANCE | THE WORLDS #1 CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://bankless.cc/binance 🦎COINGECKO API | REAL-TIME CRYPTO PRICE & MARKET DATA https://bankless.cc/coingecko ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 0:30 Market Makers 101 7:25 Why the Bad Reputation? 14:25 TradFi Market Makers 16:34 Market Making Business Model 21:34 The Positive Case 23:22 Market Making Cabals 33:36 Matt & Brian Backgrounds 40:03 Coinwatch 101 46:33 Why Coinwatch? 51:31 The Bull Case 56:51 Call to Action 57:38 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES Coinwatch https://coinwatch.co/ Coinwatch on X https://x.com/coinwatchdotco Matt Jobbe Duval https://x.com/mattjob1 Brian Tubergen https://x.com/tubergen ------ Not financial or tax advice.
