Inventory Depletion describes the reduction or complete exhaustion of available stock of a particular asset held by an entity, such as an exchange, protocol, or individual. This situation often arises due to high demand, significant sales, or specific market events. It can impact liquidity, pricing, and the ability to fulfill subsequent requests.
