Liquidity is Bitcoin’s Hugest Issue


The protocol of Bitcoin has been going through steady steps for the technical scaling of Bitcoin. However, the founders of Globitex acknowledge that the main problem restricting its maximum use is liquidity.

Bitcoin remains fairly thin traded, with low capacities by established market standards. In spite of being the best currency for global settlement across the financial & commodities spectrum markets, it is not able to cater to this need without a step-variation in trading volumes and market dept.

‘For Bitcoin to become conventional, it should be utilized as a medium of exchange and unit of account as well, for huge international trades for services and goods which constitute our reality,’ stated Liza Aizupiete, Globitex Managing Director.

In the end, this would enable traders to set costs for products in Bitcoin, utilizing it as a currency for reference.

As Bitcoin capital markets develop around the globe, Globitex shall be offering a collective reference rate, the same as LIBOR,’ said Jon Matonis, Globitex Chairman and Bitcoin Foundation former Executive Director & Founding Board Member.
