Jason Atkins of Auros raises concerns about <a href="https://www.indexbox.io/blog/institutional-crypto-adoption-hinges-on-liquidity-not-volatility-says-auros-executive/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto liquidity challenges</a> before Consensus Hong Kong. The company emphasizes its expertise in liquidity provisioning during token generation events, as noted in event sponsorship.
Atkins, the Chief Commercial Officer at Auros, highlights market-wide illiquidity issues affecting major assets. He refers to a past deleveraging event impacting volatility cycles in crypto markets.
Immediate effects include limited entry for institutional investors in the crypto sector. Atkins mentions the lack of liquidity for major assets such as ETH and BTC on a Wall Street scale.
“The October 10 crash exemplifies how illiquidity creates a self-reinforcing cycle of volatility," notes Atkins, highlighting financial implications including challenges in rebuilding market confidence. Reduced trader leverage is a significant factor in perpetuating volatility.
No specific regulatory actions have been indicated in response to liquidity issues. The situation could involve broader <a href="https://phemex.com/news/article/auros-jason-atkins-identifies-illiquidity-as-cryptos-key-challenge-54192" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">market responses</a> and adjustments by major financial entities moving forward.
Regulatory and technological outcomes remain uncertain. Historical patterns suggest that addressing market liquidity might require strategic interventions, possibly protecting investors from recurring volatility cycles. Atkins emphasizes the importance of algorithmic trading in managing these challenges. <a href="https://tokentopnews.com/crypto-liquidity-concerns-consensus-hong-kong/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read original article on tokentopnews.com</a>
