Cryptocurrency prices can change quickly. As a trader, you want to be able to move in and out of the market quickly. At Kraken, our tight spreads and deep liquidity ensures trade execution at the price you want.

Liquidity refers to how easily an asset can be bought or sold at a stable price on a given market. The quicker you can sell off an asset as close to your asking price as possible, the more liquid an exchange is considered to be.

How liquid is bitcoin? It depends entirely on which exchange you’re trading on. More market makers on a given exchange mean assets will be traded at higher volume, which equates to more liquidity.

Aside from being one of the top exchange for bitcoin liquidity, we’re consistently among the top exchanges by volume for a wide range of digital assets. With thousands of global clients selling and buying cryptocurrency every day, it's that much more likely that you'll get the best price for whichever token you’re looking to trade.

Trading volume isn’t the only thing that affects cryptocurrency liquidity. Lower commissions can incentivize market makers to open more positions. At Kraken, our maker fees are some of the lowest in the industry - starting at 0.16% and going as low as 0.00%! Check out our complete fee schedule to learn more.
