In the dynamic landscape of digital assets, liquidity is often treated as the North Star for traders and institutions alike. But as Tongtong Gong, Co-Founder of Amberdata, shared in a recent TheStreet Roundtable interview, relying on liquidity alone won’t cut it, not when markets are more interconnected, opaque, and data-heavy than ever before.
“It’s a very interconnected and complex world,” Gong explained. “It’s transparent and opaque at the same time.”
At Amberdata, we know firsthand that true market clarity comes from context, not just numbers.
Why Raw Liquidity Isn’t the Whole Story
Yes, liquidity matters. It enables execution. It signals market participation. But it doesn’t tell you why capital is moving, where it’s going, or how it’s behaving across venues. For that, you need a holistic view — a data stack that spans on-chain metrics, DeFi protocols, centralized venues, and stablecoin flows.
Amberdata was built for this. Our platform processes over two million events per second and ingests more than $580 billion in notional transaction value daily, across DeFi, on-chain, and centralized exchanges. That’s not just scale. Its structure. And it’s what leading institutions rely on to power decisions with confidence.
A Unified View of Market Behavior
Gong emphasized the importance of combining fragmented data into actionable insights. Investors can no longer operate in silos — not when flows between centralized and decentralized venues define sentiment, liquidity, and risk.
“The real priority is context of everything,” Gong said. “Stablecoins and everything in between.”
Stablecoins, in particular, have become the connective tissue of crypto markets — the bridge between DeFi and CEXs. Tracking their movements is essential to understanding capital rotation, identifying liquidity bottlenecks, and anticipating volatility.
Data Infrastructure Built for Scale and Trust
What does it take to deliver this level of clarity? Years of deep infrastructure work. Amberdata spent eight years building a state-of-the-art platform, powering billions of API calls and delivering petabytes of data to institutional clients.
“It’s a lot of responsibility to be the backbone of financial institutions,” Gong noted. “We help them innovate at scale and embrace digital assets with trust.”
From latency-sensitive trading desks to strategic allocators managing billions, institutions turn to Amberdata for the data that matters — and the confidence to act on it.
Navigating Complexity with Clarity
In a volatile ecosystem, insight is your edge. Liquidity is just the starting point. The real signal comes from the full context across chains, protocols, and platforms.
Amberdata is here to deliver that context in real time, at scale, with the reliability institutions demand.
