Product innovation remains a cornerstone of our approach. Over the past five months, we’ve refined our methodology based on industry insights and user feedback, culminating in the Liquidity Score by CoinMarketCap. This tool empowers traders to identify exchanges with minimal execution costs efficiently.
Why Liquidity Matters in Crypto Trading
When trading cryptocurrencies, securing the best prices is critical. However, slippage—the difference between expected and actual trade prices—can erode profits. High-liquidity markets mitigate slippage, even during urgent trades.
Illustrated Example: Apples & Market Liquidity
Illiquid Market Scenario
- Alice needs 3 apples urgently.
- Seller A offers 1 apple at $1.
- Seller B offers 3 apples at $1.50 each.
- Result: $4 total ($1.33/apple) → $0.33 slippage.
Liquid Market Scenario
- Multiple sellers with competitive prices.
- Result: $3.06 total ($1.02/apple) → $0.02 slippage.
Key Insight: Liquid markets reduce slippage losses by over 10x compared to illiquid markets.
