#Liquidity101 Understanding liquidity is essential in crypto and traditional finance alike. Here's a quick breakdown:
๐น 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.
๐น High Liquidity = Tight spreads, fast execution, stable prices.
๐น 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 Rippleโs delayed XRP unlock)
๐ก Why it matters:
Whether you're a day trader or long-term holder, liquidity determines how efficiently you can enter and exit positions โ and at what cost.
