CCData: Liquidity of ETH trading pairs on CEX has dropped significantly since June
According to data tracked by CCData, since the debut of 9 Ethereum spot ETFs on July 23, the order book liquidity of ETH has been declining. Since the launch of the ETFs, the average 5% market depth of ETH trading pairs on US-based centralized exchanges has decreased by 20%, down to around $14 million. On offshore centralized exchanges, this figure has decreased by 19%, down to around $10 million. In other words, the spot price can now actually rise or fall by 5% more easily, indicating reduced liquidity and increased sensitivity to large orders. CCData research analyst Jacob Joseph stated that although the liquidity level of ETH trading pairs on centralized exchanges is still higher than at the beginning of the year, it has declined by nearly 45% since reaching a peak in June. This may be due to poor market conditions and seasonal effects of the summer, typically accompanied by reduced trading activity.
