Quote Fade Rate quantifies the speed at which a quoted price or bid/ask spread provided by a market maker or liquidity provider becomes invalid or disappears from the order book. In RFQ crypto markets, this metric measures the ephemeral nature of quoted prices for digital assets, indicating how quickly a submitted request for quote might no longer be actionable due to market movements or liquidity shifts.
Mechanism
This rate is determined by analyzing real-time order book data and tracking the duration for which specific quotes remain active before being cancelled, amended, or filled. Factors influencing the quote fade rate include market volatility, liquidity depth, and the aggressive nature of incoming order flow, all of which contribute to rapid price changes.
Methodology
The strategic use of quote fade rate analysis informs optimal order submission strategies for institutional traders and enhances the responsiveness of RFQ systems. By understanding how quickly quotes become stale, participants can adjust their pricing models, execution algorithms, and market making strategies to account for dynamic market conditions, thereby minimizing slippage and maximizing trade efficiency in crypto spot and options markets.
A firm quantifies RFQ information leakage by modeling the adverse price impact directly attributable to its own inquiry, isolating it from general market volatility.
