CEX.IO’s liquidity aggregation engine has been updated to provide access to more external liquidity sources.
According to a press statement, the improvement reduces price fluctuations, tightens the order book, and offers almost zero spreads on most trading pairs.
This results in more steady trading conditions and reduced transaction costs for traders. In this sense, liquidity is the ease with which an asset can be purchased or sold without materially altering its value.
Exchanges frequently look to other sources of liquidity in the cryptocurrency market to make sure that prices reflect worldwide market trends.
By combining several liquidity sources, CEX.IO’s upgraded engine enables single orders to be filled at the best pricing. Slippage, or the discrepancy between projected and actual trading prices, is lessened as a result.
This cycle is unlike any previous we witnessed. Market volatility is intense, and new opportunities are emerging and fading away rapidly…Our enhanced liquidity pooling features are designed to deliver the convenience, transparency, and clarity that today’s traders expect.”
Rich Evans, Managing Director at CEX.IO
Leveraged Margin Trading and Spot Trading
According to statistics from Kaiko, CEX.IO has risen into the top five centralized exchanges for liquidity at 2% depth, a crucial indicator of trading efficiency, since the launch of the updated engine.
In any country where CEX.IO conducts business, including the US and the EU, the update is accessible for spot trading.
In accordance with regional laws, it also permits leveraged margin trading in a few countries, including the Philippines, Jamaica, and South Africa.
Following a 10-month pause, CEX.IO recommenced operations in the United Kingdom in September, by FCA regulations and the 2023 Financial Promotions strategy.
While awaiting FCA anti-money laundering registration, the platform, which was authorized through Gateway 21, now provides access to 190 digital assets.
Three Haru Invest executives, including two of its CEOs, were detained by South Korean authorities in February on suspicion of scamming more than 16,000 investors by promising principal protection and substantial returns on cryptocurrency deposits between March 2020 and June 2023.
According to reports, the plan was discovered in June 2023 when the site suddenly stopped accepting withdrawals, causing a great deal of anxiety.
At about the same time, Haru laid off about 100 of its staff members, and clients could not deposit digital assets on the site.
