The liquidity mirage isn’t just a numbers game—it’s a *structural illusion*. Wash trading and spoofing don’t just inflate volume; they *warp the order book’s very DNA*. Real depth is buried under layers of fake bids/asks, making markets appear tighter than they are. Synthetic volume (e.g., algo-driven ping-pong trades) masks true demand, luring traders into false confidence.
