Liquid Market

A crypto market is said to be “liquid” if there is a lot of buying and selling going on often, and there are many participants. The simplicity of buying or selling assets without significantly affecting their pricing defines a liquid market.

This kind of market often has a high volume of trading, which indicates that many buyers and sellers are actively engaged. This allows for efficient price discovery and tighter bid-ask spreads. The amount of trade, the number of active market participants, the existence of market makers, and the accessibility of trading pairs on different exchanges, are all variables that might affect a cryptocurrency’s liquidity.
