How Is Token Liquidity Measured in the Context of a New Cryptocurrency?

Token liquidity is primarily measured by trading volume, bid-ask spread, and market depth across various exchanges. High trading volume indicates frequent transactions.

A narrow bid-ask spread means there is a small difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept, suggesting easy trading. Market depth measures the volume of buy and sell orders at different price levels, indicating resilience to large trades.
