The CoinMarketCap’s Chief Strategy Officer, Carylyne Chan, expressed a few thoughts about the metric data. According to Chan, their adaptive data on metric is difficult to game, and it is required to place orders near the mid-price or counter the risk for scoring the liquidity metric.
According to the firm, the new metric is an excellent way of preventing the dependence of volume, which is related to the wash trading and other manipulations on different exchanges. Chan said that there is no value of volume as it is lost to metric.
She continued that they are introducing a new metric for investors and traders to highlight liquidity. They are aiming to provide liquidity to the crypto markets instead of the inflation of volumes.
