Order Book Interdependence

Mechanism

Order book interdependence refers to the systemic coupling between spot and derivative markets where price discovery in one venue dictates liquidity conditions in another. In cryptocurrency ecosystems, this phenomenon manifests when delta-hedging by option market makers necessitates immediate offsetting trades on spot or perpetual exchanges to maintain market neutral positions. Such alignment creates a feedback loop where volatility in options pricing directly forces reflexive liquidity shifts within the underlying order books.
