#Liquidity101 Why does liquidity matter?
You might find a top token, a great price, and even be right...
But without liquidity, you won't be able to sell or buy at a favorable price.
📌 What is liquidity?
Liquidity is how easily you can buy or sell an asset without a significant price change.
• 🔼 High liquidity = small spread, quick transaction.
• 🔽 Low liquidity = large spread, slippage, order hangs.
📊 Where is liquidity higher?
• ✅ CEX (Binance, Bybit) — order book depth, millions in volume.
• ⚠️ DEX (Uniswap, PancakeSwap) — depends on the pool. For new tokens — almost 0.
• 🪙 Tokens with small market capitalization = almost always low liquidity.
💣 Dangers of low liquidity:
• ❌ Bought — cannot sell
• 💸 Price “slipped” — and you lost 10%
• 😵 Someone pumped 10K into the token — and crashed the chart
💡 Tips for beginners:
✔️ Check trading volumes and order book depth before entering
✔️ In DeFi — look at the pool size (TVL, Pool Size)
✔️ Don't enter with a large sum into illiquid coins without understanding the risks
