Imagine a small coffee shop with just a few customers. If someone wants to buy a coffee, it might take a while to get served because there aren't many staff or customers around. This is like low liquidity in crypto - few traders, making it hard to buy or sell quickly.
Now picture a busy Starbucks with many staff and customers. You can get your coffee almost instantly. In crypto, high liquidity means you can buy or sell your cryptocurrency quickly and at a price close to what you expect.
Liquidity also relates to how stable prices remain when trades happen.
- In a small shop, if one person orders a huge, complicated drink, it might disrupt the entire workflow.
- In a big, well-staffed Starbucks, one complex order barely affects the overall service.
Similarly, in a cryptocurrency market with high liquidity, large trades don't dramatically change the price. In a low-liquidity market, a big trade can cause significant price swings. 0 reply
