Crypto Market Makers Spar Publicly Over DWF Labs' Quick Rise

Andrei Grachev of DWF Labs posted a photo with crypto market making competitors, prompting backlash from rivals like Cristian Gil of GSR.
Gil said Grachev had "no business" being included and it was "insulting" to be grouped with DWF.
Evgeny Gaevoy of Wintermute "liked" the criticism of Grachev.
Grachev fired back that DWF is stronger than rivals in tech, trading, etc. and is "eating your market share."
The public quarrel shows DWF's quick emergence as a major but controversial presence in crypto market-making this year.
