Despite the rise of cryptocurrencies this year, it is noteworthy that Bitcoin (BTC) liquidity remains low by almost every measure.
According to Kaiko’s Conor Ryder, investors are paying more on slip-tolerance or other transactions as Bitcoin liquidity gets progressively worse. Ryder thinks that the higher the trading difficulty, the more exposed investors will be to price fluctuations.
The recovery process in Bitcoin increased the rumors that the bull run had begun. However, the expansion of regulatory pressure in the US and the collapse of several crypto-friendly banks have started to ring the bells of liquidity in Bitcoin.

Connors also said, “If you’re in this business, you need to understand that the volatility is there, you can’t know where it’s going from day to day, but you can understand the trajectory, adoption, etc. you’ll understand.” said.
The litigation, crisis and bankruptcy processes are changing the approach of institutions to provide liquidity to Bitcoin. This situation is losing the appetite of investors as a result of difficulties in trading.
