      Ethereum Experiences Significant Price Surge Amid Thin Order Books

      Ethereum's native token, ether, surged nearly 70% in the third quarter of 2026, outperforming Bitcoin, which saw a gain of approximately 42%. Data from CoinGecko indicates that while ether's price rallied significantly, the liquidity supporting this increase diminished, with its order books becoming notably thinner compared to Bitcoin's.

      From July 6 to September 30, 2026, ether's price increase outpaced Bitcoin by nearly 28 percentage points. However, the median daily market depth for ether now stands at only 35% to 45% of Bitcoin's depth, a decline from at least 60% in the same period of the previous year. This reduced liquidity means that larger orders in ether may cause more significant price fluctuations than equivalent trades in Bitcoin.

      The analysis suggests that the recent rally in ether may have been fueled by returning inflows into U.S. spot ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which saw net inflows of approximately $3.1 billion after earlier outflows in the year. Despite the price increase, the shallow order books indicate that traders may face higher slippage, making it more challenging to execute large trades without impacting the market significantly.

      This trend of thinning liquidity is not isolated to ether; Solana has shown similar patterns, while XRP's liquidity remained stable. The implications of these shifts raise questions about whether market makers are concentrating their resources more heavily in Bitcoin, potentially affecting trading strategies across various cryptocurrencies.
