Designated Liquidity Provider (DLP) Program
The centerpiece of The Nasdaq ETF Market is the Designated Liquidity Provider (DLP), a market maker who has been selected to maintain liquidity in qualified ETFs (i.e., Qualified Securities). Nasdaq requires DLPs to maintain a higher standard of market quality. DLPs receive economic incentives to support ETFs during their period of initial listing, when ETFs need to develop more active trading. DLPs are selected through a consultative process between ETF sponsors, market-making firms and Nasdaq.
