  Deadbotting, also known as ghost trading, can have a significant impact on the liquidity of digital currencies. When deadbotting occurs, fake orders are placed on the order book to create a false impression of liquidity. These fake orders are not intended to be executed, but rather to deceive other traders into thinking that there is more liquidity in the market than there actually is. This can lead to inflated trading volumes and artificially tight bid-ask spreads. As a result, real traders may be misled into making trades based on false information, which can disrupt the market and make it less efficient.

  Deadbotting can also have a negative impact on market depth. Market depth refers to the number of buy and sell orders at different price levels in the order book. When deadbotting occurs, fake orders are added to the order book, which can distort the true market depth. This can make it difficult for traders to accurately gauge the supply and demand dynamics of the market, leading to increased price volatility and potential losses for traders. Additionally, deadbotting can discourage genuine market participants from entering the market, as they may be hesitant to trade in a market that is manipulated by fake orders.
