CCData: impact of regulatory pressures on liquidity
The market outlook report by CCData highlights how market liquidity suffered from regulatory pressure in Q1, with the impact being on reduced liquidity for the world’s largest CEX platforms.
The first quarter was littered with various enforcement actions, lawsuits and settlements involving crypto exchanges. Coinbase reached a $100 million settlement with the NYDFS in February before receiving a Wells Notice from the SEC in March, while Binance was sued by the CFTC in March.
Other landmark regulatory pressure events in the quarter involved Gemini, Kraken, KuCoin and CoinEx, and further market uncertainty as the stablecoin USDC briefly depegged sucking liquidity from centralised exchanges.
Unswap V3 saw a 208% jump in liquidity as CEX platforms registered declines
Comparing ETH liquidity on Uniswap to that of Binance and Coinbase during the quarter for instance, shows Uniswap V3’s liquidity increased substantially. CCData, in their 2023 Quarter 2 Outlook Report, found that Uniswap V3 recorded an impressive 208% surge in liquidity.
Meanwhile, Coinbase and Binance registered declines of – 6.35% and -13.4% respectively. According to CCData, the boost in liquidity for the DEX platform can be attributed to prevailing market conditions that saw participants try to capitalise on USDC’s depeg by pushing liquidity into pools like the ETH-USDC.
On-chain data shows a noteworthy drop in the 1% market depth for the top trading pairs BTC-USD and BTC-USDT. Liquidity declined to its lowest level for USD and USDT on 26 March as the impact of the collapse of Silvergate Bank, Signature Bank and Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) hit the crypto industry.
CCData researchers also note that low liquidity and trading volumes had a noticeable impact on centralised exchange reserves. Uncertainty saw exchange reserves fall to the lowest level since 2020, before seeing a slight improvement in March, according to the report.
