Liquidity of ETH trading pairs on CEX has dropped significantly since June

According to data tracked by CCData, ETH’s order book liquidity has been declining since the debut of nine Ethereum spot ETFs on July 23.

Since the launch of the ETF, the average 5% market depth of ETH trading pairs on centralized exchanges in the United States has fallen by 20% to about $14 million. On offshore centralized exchanges, this figure has fallen by 19% to about $10 million. In other words, it is now actually easier for spot prices to rise or fall by 5%, indicating less liquidity and increased sensitivity to large orders.

Jacob Joseph, research analyst at CCData, said that although the liquidity level of ETH trading pairs on centralized exchanges is still higher than at the beginning of the year, liquidity has fallen by nearly 45% since its peak in June. This may be due to poor market conditions and the seasonal impact of summer, which is usually accompanied by reduced trading activity.
