How Does the Lack of a Standardized Delivery Protocol Affect Liquidity?

The lack of a standardized delivery protocol increases uncertainty, complexity, and cost for market participants. If every exchange or contract has different rules for the quality, location, or timing of delivery, it creates friction for market makers and arbitrageurs.

This fragmentation deters participation, which ultimately reduces the overall liquidity of the physically settled market.
