Liquidity Routing

Definition

Liquidity routing directs trade orders to various liquidity pools or exchanges to achieve optimal execution. This process involves algorithms that scan available markets for the best prices and lowest fees for a given asset pair. It aims to minimize price impact and maximize the quantity of assets exchanged. Effective liquidity routing is crucial in fragmented digital asset markets where liquidity is spread across numerous venues. This mechanism significantly improves trading efficiency for participants.
