What Role Does Transaction Volume Play in Offsetting Impermanent Loss for Liquidity Providers?
Transaction volume is crucial because liquidity providers (LPs) earn a share of the trading fees generated by every swap in the pool. High transaction volume translates to higher cumulative fee income.
If the accumulated fees exceed the value of the impermanent loss, the LP's net position remains profitable compared to simply holding the assets. Essentially, fees act as a compensation mechanism; sufficient volume is necessary to offset the loss from price divergence.
