- 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.
