Liquidity-Adjusted Pricing

Liquidity-adjusted pricing incorporates the cost of market depth into the valuation of financial derivatives. Standard models often assume an infinite market capacity where assets can be bought or sold without impacting the price.

Liquidity-adjusted models account for the fact that larger trades will consume order book depth, thereby altering the effective price of the asset. By integrating these costs, traders can more accurately determine the true value of an option and the necessary capital reserves for hedging.

This approach is critical for managing risk in low-liquidity crypto assets where market impact is a dominant factor.
