Hummingbot Bi-weekly #21
v0.17.0 release, crypto liquidity report, partnership with Liquid.com, SFBW, and more
Welcome to the Hummingbot Bi-weekly, your regular dose of updates about new features 🤖, upcoming events 🎉, and announcements from our rapidly expanding community 👪!
🔑 NEW Bittrex connector in Hummingbot v0.17.0
Hummingbot version 0.17.0 is live! This release adds support for Bittrex International, our 8th supported exchange. We also improved the accuracy of performance calculations and how log files are handled, in addition to fixing more bugs.
🌊 Crypto liquidity report - new research from hummingbot
Recently, we conducted a first-of-its-kind analysis to measure the liquidity of crypto assets using high-resolution Binance order book data. In this report, we assess and rank the 159 cryptocurrencies on Binance based on their liquidity in August 2019.
To measure liquidity, we use slippage, which measures the price impact of a buy or sell order. Slippage refers to the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which the trade is actually executed. We believe slippage is a more robust indicator of liquidity than trading volume.
TL;DR
The most liquid asset is 600x more liquid than the least liquid asset.
Higher market cap assets and stablecoins have better liquidity.
🤝 Partnership with Liquid by Quoine
We are extremely excited to announce that Hummingbot has partnered with Liquid to create an exchange integration for Liquid.com that will enable users to deploy Hummingbot’s automated trading strategies on Liquid as well as pave the way for future liquidity rewards programs on the Liquid platform.
What makes us so excited about this partnership is the alignment of our companies’ core mission: enabling crypto to realize its potential by solving liquidity. We believe that Hummingbot’s ability to decentralize market making and Liquid’s single globally-sourced trading platform (its “World Book”) are highly complementary, benefiting Hummingbot users, Liquid users, and the general liquidity landscape for the crypto market.
Working together, we are one step closer to achieving our mission of increasing market efficiency and democratizing finance; efficient trading and liquidity should be available to all, not just the largest digital assets or projects with the deepest pockets.
