Evgeny Gaevoy, co-founder of Wintermute, stated that although the number of unique assets traded during Christmas is slightly reduced compared to other days in December, the platform trades various assets throughout the year and trading activities usually increase before the end of the year. He said, "We have received more and more business requests, which are typically driven by strategic considerations such as year-end taxes. Whether it is for booking transactions or settling invoices before the end of the year, there are operational needs."
