How Do Dark Pools Relate to Liquidation Order Execution?
Dark pools are private exchanges or systems where large orders are executed without being displayed on the public order book. Exchanges may use a dark pool to execute large liquidation orders to minimize market impact and slippage.
By hiding the order, the exchange prevents the market from reacting to the large sell pressure, leading to a better execution price.
