Crypto Market Crash Highlights Liquidity Issues and $BEST’s Investment Potential
The October 10 crypto crash highlighted weaknesses in major liquidity providers, as noted by Tom Lee from BitMine. A rapid selloff wiped out nearly $20 billion, causing over-leveraged market makers to unwind positions quickly. This led to a liquidity vacuum, widening spreads, and accelerating the crash.
Liquidity Crunch Impact
- Market makers with leveraged books became forced sellers during the crash.
- Liquidity evaporated, slippage increased, and execution quality dropped.
- Smaller tokens and venues became untradeable for hours.
Diversified Wallet Strategies
- MetaMask: Focuses on smarter routing and institutional integrations.
- Trust Wallet: Emphasizes simplicity and broad asset support.
- Phantom: Expanded to EVM chains for multichain retail flow.
