BitGo Says Crypto Market Fragmentation Raises Execution Risks

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.
