CCData: Liquidity of ETH trading pairs on CEX has dropped significantly since June
On September 7, 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 the ETH trading pair on the US-based centralized trading platform has decreased by 20%, dropping to around $14 million. On offshore centralized trading platforms, this figure has decreased by 19%, dropping to around $10 million. In other words, the spot price can now actually rise or fall by 5% more easily, indicating a reduction in liquidity and increased sensitivity to large orders.
CCData research analyst Jacob Joseph stated that although the liquidity level of the ETH trading pair on centralized trading platforms is still higher than at the beginning of the year, it has declined by nearly 45% since reaching its peak in June. This may be due to the poor market conditions and seasonal effects of the summer, which are typically accompanied by a decrease in trading activity.
