Description

Studying the factors that drive liquidity in crypto markets is of paramount importance in today's financial landscape. Liquidity, the ease with which an asset can be bought or sold at low costs without significantly impacting its price, plays a crucial role in the efficiency and stability of financial markets. In the context of crypto assets, understanding liquidity dynamics is particularly relevant due to the unique characteristics of digital assets and their markets.
I will focus on lead-lag relationships, connectedness, and spillover effects of highfrequent intra day liquidity on centralized crypto exchanges. This project aims to provide valuable insights into market dynamics, risk management for trading crypto assets and crypto market microstructure.
