Deep market making refers to the practice of providing liquidity in financial markets by continuously quoting both buy and sell prices for a wide range of assets, often across numerous trading pairs and at various levels of market depth.

This role is critical for ensuring efficient price discovery and smooth functioning of financial exchanges, especially in complex or less liquid markets.
