Market Structure Health

Definition

Market structure health refers to the overall efficiency, fairness, and resilience of a financial market’s operational framework. In cryptocurrency markets, this assesses factors such as liquidity depth, price discovery mechanisms, trading transparency, and the presence of manipulation. A healthy market structure minimizes information asymmetry and allows for orderly price formation, benefiting all participants. It also accounts for the robustness of underlying infrastructure and regulatory oversight in preventing systemic risks.
