A Shared Liquidity Model is an operational framework where multiple trading venues or platforms pool their order books and available capital, allowing participants to access a deeper and more consolidated pool of liquidity. In the digital asset space, this enables more efficient trade execution and tighter bid-ask spreads across various exchanges or decentralized protocols. It aims to overcome market fragmentation and enhance trading efficiency.
Context
The current discussion around shared liquidity models in crypto addresses the challenge of market fragmentation, where liquidity is spread across numerous platforms. A key debate involves the technical complexities of interoperability and the security considerations of connecting disparate liquidity pools. Future developments include the emergence of more sophisticated cross-exchange routing mechanisms and the increasing adoption of decentralized protocols that natively support shared liquidity across multiple chains.
