x-ccy swap - basis swap dominates

Most tutorials talk about fixed/fixed swap, but Tony's lecture seems to suggest the market makers always convert it into a x-ccy basis swap.

 

I think it's more standard, more liquid than other x-ccy swaps.

 

I think market makers use it for hedging once they execute any x-ccy swap.
