#Liquidity101 : What is liquidity in cryptocurrency? 🤔💧
Liquidity is one of the most important concepts in the trading world, especially in cryptocurrency. But what does it mean in simple terms? Let's break it down! 👇
🔄 Liquidity is the ability of an asset to be quickly bought or sold without significant price changes. The more buyers and sellers there are, the higher the liquidity.
📊 High liquidity means:
✅ Small spreads between buy/sell prices
✅ Fast order execution
✅ Lower volatility in large trades
🧊 Low liquidity means:
❌ Hard to find a counterparty
❌ Price can fluctuate significantly
❌ Larger losses when buying/selling large amounts
🏦 The highest liquidity is usually found in BTC, ETH, USDT, and coins traded on major exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, etc.).
💡 By the way, DEX (decentralized exchanges) often have lower liquidity than CEX. Therefore, for large trades, it's important to monitor market depth!
