What does Liquidity mean in crypto terms?
In financial and crypto markets, liquidity refers to the degree to which an asset or security can be quickly bought or sold in the market without affecting its price. High liquidity means that there are a large number of buyers and sellers, and the asset can be traded easily. Low liquidity, on the other hand, means that there are fewer buyers and sellers, which could lead to price volatility and difficulty in converting the asset to cash. Liquidity is crucial for the smooth operation of financial markets, affecting price stability and the ability of participants to transact at desired price levels.
