Key learnings from the paper
-
Why even top-tier BTC/USD venues show only ~20% of quotes near fair value, with 10 bps deviations in normal conditions.
-
Why single-exchange benchmarks make best-execution checks unreliable for trading desks and brokers.
-
How margin and collateral models can over- or under-react when they rely on a limited venue set.
-
How one stale or off-market print can move NAVs and indices—and how multi-venue benchmarks mitigate this.
