What Is Market Liquidity? 💧

Market liquidity is about how quickly and easily you can buy or sell a crypto asset without causing a big change in its price. When a market is liquid, there's plenty of activity, so you can trade your tokens fast and at fair prices 🕯

In a market with high liquidity, you get more accurate pricing. This means less risk of slippage, which is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which it happens.

💁‍♀️ Low liquidity can be risky. Imagine that you are holding $5 million worth of a memecoin (POPCAT in the example on the screenshot above), but the total liquidity for that coin is only $1.7 million.

If you try to sell all your tokens, you won't get the full $5 million USDT because your sell order will crash the price.

❗️ Always check the liquidity. On some DEXs or obscure trading pairs on CEXs, low liquidity can make trading a nightmare and cost you big time!
