How market fragmentation impacts OTC trading: Report

February 25, 2025 | Finery Markets

The crypto market is one of the most fragmented financial ecosystems in history.

This fragmentation presents opportunities and challenges, but it poses greater concerns for institutional players, as it complicates price discovery, degrades execution quality and reduces market efficiency.

In this report, Finery Markets analyzes how fragmentation affects market liquidity, transaction costs and execution efficiency. The report examines the structural differences between centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges and OTC markets. It particularly covers market fragmentation in OTC markets and how institutions navigate these complexities.
