Market fragmentation refers to the division of a financial market into numerous smaller, often distinct, segments or sub-markets. In the cryptocurrency space, this can manifest as a proliferation of exchanges, trading pairs, or specialized decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, leading to dispersed liquidity and varying price discovery mechanisms. This condition can present both opportunities and challenges for market participants.
Context
Market fragmentation is a persistent characteristic of the cryptocurrency industry, with new platforms and specialized services continually emerging. Debates often arise concerning the impact of this fragmentation on price discovery, regulatory oversight, and the overall efficiency of digital asset markets. Efforts to consolidate liquidity or establish standardized trading venues are frequently discussed as potential solutions.
