The transparency of the crypto market: Erik Voorhees' response to the debates on informational advantage

Erik Voorhees revisits recent disputes regarding traders’ strategic timing before major announcements. Far from viewing this as evidence of systemic malice, the entrepreneur believes that the cryptocurrency sector operates on a fundamental principle often overlooked: the true equality of market conditions for all participants.

The advantage of transparency versus traditional opacity

Unlike traditional financial markets where trading movements remain largely hidden from the public eye, the crypto ecosystem is inherently transparent. Every transaction, every capital movement is traceable and visible to anyone who wishes to analyze it. This informational radicality fundamentally changes the game: no one has a hidden advantage that others are unaware of. The data is there, accessible to all.

The real question: improving infrastructure

Rather than alarm over presumed unfair practices, Voorhees believes that focus should be on a more critical issue: upgrading exchange systems and underlying protocols. More robust platforms, better secured and more efficient infrastructures, are the true leverage to restore user confidence.

Market fluidity and restored trust

This technological improvement aligns with a broader goal championed by the trading community: generating better liquidity and preventing incidents of fund loss due to technical failures. A more reliable market attracts more participants and strengthens the sector’s overall resilience. It is on this basis that sustainable trust is built, not by removing information but by making it unavoidable and securing access tools.
