流动性碎片化：重塑主要加密货币交易所游戏规则的新挑战

随着数字市场的不断成熟，一种颠覆传统交易模式的复杂动态正在出现：流动性的碎片化。这种现象

As digital markets mature, a dynamic that disrupts traditional trading models is emerging: the fragmentation of liquidity. This phenomenon, far from being anecdotal, could well redefine the rules of the game on major crypto exchanges, accentuating price disparities and increasing volatility.

随着数字市场的成熟，一种颠覆传统交易模式的动态正在出现：流动性的碎片化。这种现象绝非传闻，很可能会重新定义主要加密货币交易所的游戏规则，加剧价格差异并增加波动性。

The fragmentation of liquidity accentuates price disparities

流动性分散加剧价格差异

The fragmentation of liquidity in crypto markets has become an important factor, especially during episodes of intense volatility. This dispersion of liquidity among different crypto exchange platforms leads to significant price divergences and disrupts traders’ strategies by creating sometimes costly arbitrage opportunities, Kaiko’s latest report reveals.

加密货币市场流动性的分散已成为一个重要因素，尤其是在剧烈波动的时期。 Kaiko 的最新报告显示，不同加密货币交易平台之间的流动性分散导致了巨大的价格差异，并通过创造有时成本高昂的套利机会扰乱了交易者的策略。

The case of Binance.US, where trading volumes drastically dropped following SEC regulatory actions in 2023, perfectly illustrates this phenomenon. On August 5th, Bitcoin prices on this platform noticeably deviated from other more liquid markets, revealing the direct impact of fragmentation on price formation.

Binance.US 的案例，在 2023 年 SEC 监管行动后交易量大幅下降，完美地说明了这一现象。 8 月 5 日，该平台上的比特币价格明显偏离其他流动性更强的市场，揭示了碎片化对价格形成的直接影响。

The effects of this fragmentation are not limited to major assets like Bitcoin. In fact, other cryptos, particularly those with low liquidity, have shown even more marked price disparities. A more robust infrastructure and stricter liquidity management are essential to minimize risks and stabilize markets, especially during periods of high tension.

这种碎片化的影响不仅限于比特币等主要资产。事实上，其他加密货币，特别是那些流动性较低的加密货币，已经表现出更明显的价格差异。更强大的基础设施和更严格的流动性管理对于最大限度地降低风险和稳定市场至关重要，尤其是在高度紧张时期。

The current challenges and trends in crypto liquidity

当前加密货币流动性的挑战和趋势

The impact of liquidity fragmentation is not limited to a price disparity among different crypto exchange platforms but also manifests through liquidity variations within trading pairs on the same platform. Take the example of Coinbase: the BTC-EUR pair is significantly less liquid than the BTC-USD pair, creating much more volatile market conditions during stress episodes.

流动性碎片化的影响不仅限于不同加密货币交易平台之间的价格差异，还体现在同一平台上交易对内的流动性差异。以 Coinbase 为例：BTC-EUR 货币对的流动性明显低于 BTC-USD 货币对，在压力时期造成了更加不稳定的市场状况。

This phenomenon was illustrated last March when the BTC-EUR pair experienced marked price divergences compared to the global market, exacerbated by a plummeting market depth.

去年 3 月，比特币兑欧元货币对与全球市场相比经历了明显的价格差异，市场深度的暴跌加剧了这种现象。

This trend is further amplified by the concentration of liquidity on business days, a phenomenon that intensified with the advent of spot crypto ETFs in the U.S. Unlike traditional financial markets, crypto markets operate non-stop, 24/7, making periods of weakness, such as weekends, particularly vulnerable to abrupt price movements. Sell-offs that begin on a Friday tend to amplify over the weekend, when liquidity is lower, amplifying the impacts on prices.

这种趋势因工作日流动性集中而进一步放大，这种现象随着美国现货加密 ETF 的出现而加剧。与传统金融市场不同，加密市场 24/7 不间断运行，导致疲软时期，例如由于周末，特别容易受到突然的价格波动的影响。周五开始的抛售往往会在周末加剧，此时流动性较低，从而放大对价格的影响。

This reality was particularly observed during the last sell-off, where Bitcoin recorded a 14% movement between the opening of U.S. markets on Monday and their closing on Friday, a tendency that has been observed during major corrections since 2020.

这一现实在上次抛售期间尤其明显，比特币在周一美国市场开盘至周五收盘之间波动了 14%，这一趋势在 2020 年以来的重大调整中也曾出现过。

In the future, the ability of platforms to strengthen their resilience to these challenges will largely determine the stability of crypto markets. Investors, on the other hand, must remain vigilant, aware that liquidity, or its absence, could be a decisive factor in upcoming price movements.

未来，平台增强应对这些挑战的能力的能力将在很大程度上决定加密市场的稳定性。另一方面，投资者必须保持警惕，意识到流动性或缺乏流动性可能是即将到来的价格走势的决定性因素。
