BitGo Says Crypto Market Fragmentation Raises Execution Risks

By Public Technologies
  • BitGo’s crypto liquidity analysis highlights actual execution costs as more reliable measures than quoted spreads or reported trading volume.
  • Fragmented trading venues can amplify price discrepancies during market stress, leaving displayed liquidity unavailable for execution.
  • Institutional desks should assess effective spreads, implementation shortfall and realized slippage for their expected order sizes.
  • Rising order rejections, slower cancellations and widening cross-venue price gaps can signal deteriorating liquidity before visible depth changes.
  • Centralized exchanges carry counterparty risks; decentralized venues face smart-contract, oracle and transaction-ordering risks that can impair execution.
