Alts with no liquidity on exchanges

[Paulinerims]

Since Coinmarketcap added Liquidity to its indicators, you can see a lot of tokens with enormous daily volumes have no liquidity at all. Is it even worth to invest in this kind of tokens? Does that mean that most of the volumes are fake? Thanks for the answers.

Daily volume comes from total transactions that happened on the exchange, and the transaction itself comes from liquidity. If the token or the coin has a big daily volume but they do not have liquidity that means they were using a fake volume to boost their ranking.
No liquidity = No demand.
Is it worth to invest in it? personally I do not think so, but that is my choice. You might have a different opinion about it.

And what you've think that?
It is pretty obvious that it won't make sense of investing those coins, you are just putting your money into nothing. Nobody would give interest to them, investors would probably skip these kinds of altcoins for they know that it won't give what they want.
If you have a lot of money waste then you may use to invest these altcoins cause for me, it is a big no...

But it would be difficult to be sure about it as people might be withdrawing it. For example no one would put a stacking coin in an exchange that does not provide the staking reward. But mostly they are the fake volume coins being bought and sold just to increase the trading volume so that they could come in spotlight.

From my opinion, not worth it. When investing you're looking for liquidity with real demands and trading volume is not relevant if there's low or no liquidity at all because there are so many manipulated market as of now you can try to observe the trade orders. Why even bother to invest into these kind of coin if there are more legit option of investment anyway?. You shouldn't invest if you're doubtful about the coin or project.

When token lacks value then its not good to invest even if its is very very cheap.Better to invest on the coins with trading volume as well as liquidity.

[amazigh15]

Yes already we must avoid exchanges that cheat these days there are many and even I think there are still exchanges that use boots to turn up the volume

First you should research what kind of project concept this altcoin but since you want to make sure your money will grow I advise to stay away from this kind of altcoin since this have no liquidity or transaction happening in exchange site its better to pick altcoin with a high possibility to grain in the future.

[qiman]

It all depends on the type of coin or token, you should always do your own investment research because some coins may not have a lot of volume because they are very new or just starting, or are sleepers. I know one coin for example that I believe will be a very big project but just now got on Coinmarketcap and is getting on to the exchanges, so it will take time for it's volume to grow. You ALWAYS need to check on the project first. If you are a day trader of course, then it is better to pick high volume coins or tokens to trade, as that is more logical for short term trading practices and strategies.

Liquidity indicator is a good way to quickly notice exchanges and coins with fake volume, i am glad that coinmarketcap decided to take this step, it helps open my eye more, one thing is not all coins on coinmarketcap are good

[Mealea]

I guess it is very clear that a coin must have liquidity on exchange to have volume, if there is no liquidity then where is the volume coming from? Fake if i may say.

[ansi]

Some of those are great projects with solid team members, but they ha this bad luck of not being able to get listed on a high liquidity exchange.
At the same time i can see shit loads of shitcoins listed in the best exchange with high volume,what an irony in this cryptoshphere.

Liquidity is everything.

99% of altcoins have less than 1million liquidity, And the top crypto's have about 1/10th or even smaller amount of liquidity than what's reported. The reason for this huge disparity is wash trading and market making.

CMC has taken a good step forward, but there is a lot of work to be done on making this data more apparent and their lack of filtering all these fake, scammy exchanges that are "trading billions of dollars of crypto daily."


Overall, there is no escaping wash trading in crypto. Almost every alt-coin out there has no real volume. Almost everything you see is manipulated to an extent. Welcome to crypto and actually, everything on the internet and the real world also. This is a game of money, you are just the small fish that feeds the whales.

[siupang2]

No liquidity and you invest in it? Never mate XD it's like you selling pork to Muslim people it's no demand at all and you will lost your money. Just stay at the right rule, follow the trend is better than invest in alts with no liquidity. Also don't be fooled by CMC too sometimes they give false data

[cryptoknightt]

Yes, in fact most of it is fake. So you do not have to invest in tokens. It is better to buy than to sell.
I also had time to complain about the length of the WD process on a stock exchange, the solid volume in the coin market is very large, it turns out to be a fake.

[lolgato1]

If they do not have liquidity - no daily trading volume than it is a good sign that this coin is going to the end because nobody is buying it. Avoid coins with low trading volume.

Your suspicions are correct, they do pump the volume of traders to think it's worth investing in the coin, or they have a group of whales that do pump their coin, but they will eventually dump the coin, so be watchful on coins that you are going to invest, check if the volume is indeed correct.

Most comment above said that it's not worth to invest in not liquid coins.

But I dont think so, we invest or trade ofc to get profit. so, as long as the coin can make us profit, it is a good investment/trade
not liquid coin can give good profit if you know how to do it. most of them just pump and dump
even it gives high profit, but ofc it has high risk too. the main idea is, you must know the good strategy to do with not liquid coins

It depends on the person's wallet size. In most cases people with a few hundred bucks have no problems investing in these coins because they can get in and out easily, which is why such altcoins are quite popular.

If you're a trader/investor with $20k for example things are different unless you have the luck to buy or sell into a large wall. If I had that money I would definitely avoid such coins, but everyone is different at the end of the day.

Most persons have already said it all, no liquidity absolutely means no demand, and a token which has no demand has no value. So the question is, would you invest in a coin with no value? Also, about if their volume is fake, frankly that what it means, for a token with no demand having huge volume says it all. Nowadays, to invest in any coin comes with huge carefulness and due diligence in order to be safe.
