An analysis by blockchain analytics platform Kaiko revealed that XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE) are among the top four most liquid cryptocurrencies, only trailing Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

This finding challenges the conventional wisdom that market capitalization is a wholesome metric for evaluating a cryptocurrency’s price, and thus, liquidity.

Assessing Crypto Liquidity: What Factors Were Considered?

In their report, Kaiko argues that liquidity, which measures how easily an asset can be traded, is a more accurate representation of a cryptocurrency’s true worth. Market capitalization and fully diluted value, according to Kaiko, provide an incomplete picture of a cryptocurrency’s value proposition. 

To measure market capitalization, the asset’s price and tokens in circulation play a critical role. Meanwhile, liquidity considers multiple factors often beyond prices, including supporting exchanges and the cost of trading the same asset, quantified through spreads.

Gauging asset liquidity, Kaiko’s analysis took into account two market depth levels: 0.1% and 1%. To properly assess the level of liquidity for traders, market depth at 0.1% was used as a metric. Meanwhile, the 1% market depth reading was used to track the liquidity of long-term holders.

Herein, Kaiko said liquidity across both categories fell across the board in Q3 2023.
