A New Model For Assessing Crypto Asset Liquidity - Kaiko: Deep Dive

Date 08/12/2022

Market capitalization is one of the most commonly used metrics to legitimize the value of a cryptocurrency. We often hear of a token breaking into the top 10 ranking by market cap, with tokens like BNB making headlines after a move into the top 5, cementing it as a pillar in the crypto ecosystem. However, all it takes is a quick run through the top 20 or 30 tokens to realize not all market caps are created equal. FTT was a top 20 token pre-collapse and LUNA was once ranked in the top 10. While market cap works as a rough estimation of a token’s value, an asset is only as valuable as it is liquid. 

BIS: The Role Of Non-Bank Financial Institutions In Cross-Border Spillovers

Other potential sources of spillovers include currency and liquidity mismatches on NBFIs' balance sheets, NBFIs' use of leverage, and herding. Evidence about whether the greater involvement of NBFIs has aggravated the procyclicality and intensity of cross-border spillovers is mixed.
