How Does a Low Volume-to-Liquidity Ratio Affect the Profitability of an LP?

A low volume-to-liquidity ratio means that the total trading volume in the pool is low compared to the total capital provided by LPs. Since LPs earn fees based on trading volume, a low ratio results in low fee revenue.

This makes it harder for LPs to offset any incurred impermanent loss, potentially leading to a net loss even with a small price divergence. High volume relative to liquidity is key to LP profitability.
