Less liquidity between the fiat and crypto ecosystem cuts both ways - it makes fiat less valuable since low liquidity creates a class of products and services that cannot be purchased with fiat. If people still want those services, they will barter for them instead using p2p platforms. Examples that already exist include - sending Amazon packages for crypto, providing free or discounted rent for crypto, food delivery services for crypto, etc. This creates a situation where more goods and services can be purchased with crypto than without it, meaning crypto is better money than fiat.
Liquidity between fiat and crypto privileges centralized insiders who have the connections to fit into regulators molds and thus leak compliance into the wider crypto ecosystem. Thankfully regulators are too dumb to understand this and are shutting down the main threat to crypto, which is coinbase and it’s kind.
