Liquidity refers to how easily an asset can be bought or sold without significantly affecting its price. In trading terms, a liquid market means there are enough buyers and sellers at various price levels to fill orders quickly and close to the expected rate. When liquidity is low, orders may experience delays, price jumps, or higher execution costs.
Here’s how liquidity impacts your experience on EVEDEX.
What Liquidity Looks Like in Practice
If you place a $100,000 leveraged position on BTC in a highly liquid market, your order is likely filled immediately, at or near your target price. The system matches your request with existing sell orders without needing to move far up the order book.
In a low-liquidity market, the same order may only partially fill at your preferred price. To complete the trade, the system needs to access higher-priced sell orders, resulting in slippage — the difference between your expected price and the actual execution price.
Why Liquidity Matters
Execution speed
Liquid markets allow for faster, often instant order fulfillment. Low-liquidity conditions may lead to slower or partial fills.
Price stability
High liquidity helps keep market prices stable during trading. In lower liquidity, even moderate-sized trades can move the price significantly.
Trading cost
Tight bid-ask spreads are a feature of liquid markets. Wider spreads and higher slippage in thin markets can raise the actual cost of a trade.
