The liquidity situation in crypto is worsening after the banking fears this month 📉 I dived into several liquidity metrics to give an update on all things crypto liquidity🧵 First, $BTC liquidity has dropped to 10 month lows as market makers lose access to USD payment rails👇

0/ @seamusbjh's post is fascinating and provides a broad picture of how technology has progressed across the various epochs. TL;DR: Technology goes through phases of Exploration (creating immense value, adding to the stack) and Exploitation (commoditizing the lower tech layers)
A tour through the history of computer technology by @seamusbjh, providing a useful lens with which to view the cycles of technological development and hopefully prognosticate where we are headed H/t to @James_Kilroe and @JustSwart medium.com/newtown-partners/…

Data is king. Very excited to see the results of this. If it’s relevant to you, please complete it! teapawt.net/newtownpartners/status…
The one thing that differentiates crypto from other asset classes is liquidity & yet we don’t know who traders are or how they provide liquidity. We encourage traders to participate in the first Global Crypto Trader Benchmarking Study surveymonkey.com/r/CryptoTra…
