  Digital currencies on the over-the-counter securities market generally have lower liquidity compared to traditional exchanges. This is because the over-the-counter market is decentralized and operates through a network of dealers rather than a centralized exchange. As a result, the trading volume and liquidity of digital currencies may vary significantly across different dealers. Additionally, the over-the-counter market may have less transparency and regulatory oversight compared to traditional exchanges, which can further impact liquidity.

  When it comes to liquidity, digital currencies on the over-the-counter securities market can be more volatile compared to traditional exchanges. The decentralized nature of the over-the-counter market means that liquidity can vary depending on the availability of buyers and sellers. This can result in wider bid-ask spreads and potentially higher transaction costs. On the other hand, traditional exchanges often have more established liquidity pools and tighter spreads due to the presence of market makers and high-frequency trading algorithms.

  From my experience at BYDFi, I've observed that the liquidity of digital currencies on the over-the-counter securities market can be comparable to traditional exchanges in certain cases. While it's true that the over-the-counter market may have lower overall liquidity, there are reputable dealers who provide competitive liquidity for digital currencies. It's important for traders to research and choose reliable dealers to ensure access to sufficient liquidity. Additionally, the over-the-counter market can offer advantages such as privacy and flexibility in trading, which may attract certain investors despite the potential liquidity differences.
