Cumberland, a major liquidity provider for institutional crypto traders, says market volatility will continue as more centralized companies get liquidated.
The trading desk ກ່າວໃນຫົວຂໍ້ Twitter that the crypto assets of these firms will eventually be liquidated- a move that is bound to cause more price volatility.
This process will be further complicated by most of these liquidations occurring off-chain- leaving most traders in the dark over the transfer of assets.
The trading desk’s comments come as ບໍລິສັດ crypto ຫຼາຍບໍລິສັດ– including Celsius, Voyager, and Vauld- suspended withdrawals citing an extreme liquidity crunch. Celsius and Voyager are now headed for restructuring, which could see their assets liquidated.
Centralized firms liquidated off-chain
Cumberland- which has facilitated crypto transactions for several major clients, including Goldman Sachs- said that given the lack of transparency over such liquidations will keep traders from participating in the market.
The current rangebound price action in the market belied a much more volatile picture under the surface, according to the trading desk.
It also noted that the phenomenon is not relegated to crypto- companies with excessive leverage have always been burnt by bear markets.
The speed at which markets return to a healthy state will be determined by the rate at which distressed assets are transferred from the balance sheets of the insolvent onto those of the solvent.
