In a riveting turn of events, despite the Ethereum price showcasing a relatively slower movement compared to that of Bitcoin (BTC) and numerous altcoins, an intriguing phenomenon appears to have garnered noteworthy optimism on the world’s second-largest token by global market cap. According to a recent report, the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://research.kaiko.com/insights/all-eyes-on-the-bitcoin-halving" target="_blank">Ethereum</a> token seems to have demonstrated notable enhancements in liquidity on centralized exchanges globally.

The 2% market depth, which measures the quantity of buy and sell orders across exchanges, has notably increased from a yearly low of $255 million in October to a staggering $400 million at present.
These developments indicate a resurgence of market makers, who facilitate trading by providing liquidity. It further suggests that traders are benefiting from improved market conditions, with more opportunities for buying and selling ETH.
