Order Fragmentation
Order fragmentation occurs when an asset is traded across multiple venues, leading to split liquidity and disparate price points. This is common in the cryptocurrency space, where assets are listed on dozens of centralized and decentralized exchanges simultaneously.
For traders, this fragmentation makes it difficult to execute large orders without significant slippage. Smart order routers are often used to aggregate liquidity from these different sources to find the best execution price.
Fragmentation increases the complexity of market microstructure analysis and necessitates more advanced technological solutions. It represents a challenge to efficient price discovery in decentralized markets.
