Liquidity Removal

Definition

Liquidity removal is the act of withdrawing digital assets from a liquidity pool or a decentralized exchange by a liquidity provider. This process involves a user taking their deposited tokens and any accumulated fees out of an automated market maker (AMM) pool, thereby reducing the total available capital for trading pairs. Liquidity removal can occur for various reasons, including profit-taking, reallocation of capital, or concerns about impermanent loss. It directly impacts the depth and efficiency of trading within decentralized finance protocols.
