Liquidity describes how easily an asset can be bought or sold without significantly affecting its price. In crypto markets, high liquidity allows for smoother trading and more stable pricing. Liquidity is influenced by trading volume, market depth, and the number of active participants. Many DeFi platforms rely on liquidity pools rather than traditional order books. Strong liquidity is essential for healthy and efficient markets.
