  • Ethereum's liquidity on global centralized exchanges rises.
  • BTC & ETH OI hits ATH.

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.

ETH’s Liquidity: Diving Deep

Meanwhile, despite the token’s relatively slower price action, ETH’s improved liquidity flagged growing confidence and participation among traders and investors within the market. This could potentially contribute to the token’s long-term stability and market presence, adding a bullish tint to Ethereum amid the upcoming BTC halving.

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.
