💧 #Liquidity101 – What Is Liquidity?

Liquidity is how quickly and easily an asset can be converted to cash or another asset without affecting its price too much.

📊 Types of Liquidity

1. Market Liquidity

How easily you can buy/sell assets (like stocks or crypto) in the market.

High liquidity = tight spreads, fast execution, stable prices.

Low liquidity = wide spreads, slippage, price volatility.

2. Asset Liquidity

How fast a specific asset can be converted to cash.

💵 Cash = most liquid

🏠 Real estate or collectibles = less liquid

3. Exchange Liquidity

How much volume and activity an exchange has.

More liquidity = faster trades with better pricing.

🔁 In Crypto & DeFi

4. Liquidity Pools

Used in decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Uniswap.

Users provide token pairs (e.g., ETH/USDC) to pools and earn fees.

Helps automate market making (AMM).

5. Liquidity Mining

Users earn rewards (usually tokens) for providing liquidity to a protocol.

6. Slippage

The difference between the expected price and actual price of a trade.

More common in low-liquidity assets or large orders.

🧠 TL;DR:

More liquidity = easier, cheaper, and faster trades.
