Conor Ryder, researcher at digital asset data provider Kaiko, has examined the liquidity of the Bitcoin and crypto markets in a new study<\/a>, finding that the liquidity situation in crypto has deteriorated further this month following the banking scares. Bitcoin liquidity dropped to a 10-month low as market makers lost access to USD payment rails.<\/p>\n

What The Liquidity Crisis Means For The Bitcoin Price<\/h2>\n

Most importantly, this means that the Bitcoin market becomes increasingly volatile when liquidity is low. Prices have less support on both the downside and upside, which Ryder says could explain Bitcoin’s rapid rise since the beginning of the month.<\/p>\n

Ryder shared the chart below in his analysis, explaining that liquidity in the BTC markets is even significantly lower than it was after the FTX and Alameda collapse. Kaiko refers to the drop in liquidity at the time as the “Alameda gap,” which was created by the absence of one of the industry’s largest market makers.<\/p>\n

“That gap has yet to be filled, and with the banking issues of late, liquidity has taken another blow,” notes Ryder, who also observed that the closure of the Silvergate Exchange Network<\/a> (SEN) and the unwinding of Signet, have resulted in US exchanges being hit harder than non-US exchanges from a liquidity perspective.<\/p>\n

This is because market makers in the US are now facing “unprecedented challenges” to their operations. “We can see the difference in reaction between US and non-US exchanges with more severe reactions to some of the liquidity issues of the last month,” Ryder said.<\/p>\n

But the analyst also has some good news. Liquidity has now recovered to levels seen in early March 2022. Still, he warns that the loss of easy fiat access could have longer-term implications.<\/p>\n

According to Ryder, the blow the US crypto industry has taken can be seen in other metrics as well. Spreads for USD pairs are suffering from higher volatility as a result of the uncertainty, as is slippage:<\/p>\n

On a $100k sell order, Coinbase’s btc-usd pair has increased by 2.5x the slippage it started the month at Binance’s btc-usdt pair’s slippage meanwhile barely moved.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ex-Coinbase CTO Balaji S. Srinivasan, who is currently in the spotlight with his $1 million bet<\/a> on Bitcoin, stated<\/a> in reference to Ryder’s research:<\/p>\n

Interestingly, as the liquidity of Bitcoin markets decreases under state pressure, it takes less buying to get USD\/BTC to moon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t think the state can close it fully, but we shouldn’t wait. Paradoxically, closing the exit makes the exit more desirable in more ways than one.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At press time, the Bitcoin price stood at $28,176, facing the major resistance zone above $28,300.<\/p>\n

His mission is simple yet profound: to demystify Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and make them accessible to everyone. With a professional career in the Bitcoin and crypto scene that began right after graduating with a degree in Information Systems in 2017, Jake has immersed himself in the industry. Jake joined the NewsBTC Group in late 2022.

Whether you are a casual reader curious about Bitcoin or an investor seeking to navigate the latest market trends, Jake\u2019s insights offer valuable perspectives that bridge the gap between complex technology and everyday usage. Jake is not just a reporter on technological trends; he is a firm believer in the transformative potential of Bitcoin over traditional fiat currencies. To him, the current financial system is on the brink of chaos, propelled by unchecked government actions and flawed Keynesian economic policies. Drawing from the principles of the Austrian school of economics, Jake views Bitcoin not merely as a digital asset but as a crucial step towards rectifying a failing monetary system. His libertarian views reinforce his stance that just as the church was separated from the state, so too should money be freed from governmental control. For Jake, Bitcoin represents more than just an investment; it's a peaceful revolution. He envisions a future where Bitcoin fosters a sustainable and responsible financial framework for generations to come. His advocacy is not about opposition but about evolution, about laying the groundwork for a system that prioritizes transparency and equity over secrecy and inequality. As a journalist, Jake\u2019s articles are crafted with the precision of a scholar and the passion of a true believer.
