#Liquidity101 Understanding liquidity is essential in crypto and traditional finance alike. Here's a quick breakdown:
🔹 What is Liquidity?
It refers to how easily an asset can be bought or sold without significantly affecting its price. The higher the liquidity, the smoother the trade.
🔹 High Liquidity = Tight spreads, fast execution, stable prices.
🔹 Low Liquidity = Bigger spreads, price slippage, higher volatility.
In crypto, liquidity is affected by:
Exchange volume
Market makers
Token supply
Investor interest
External events (like Ripple’s delayed XRP unlock)
