How Does High Liquidity Impact the Bid-Ask Spread in Crypto Options Markets?

High liquidity in the underlying crypto asset and the options market itself significantly narrows the bid-ask spread. A narrower spread means lower transaction costs for traders, as they can buy and sell closer to the mid-price.

This reduced cost attracts more market makers and volume, which further deepens liquidity, creating a positive network effect that benefits all participants.
