Stablecoin liquidity refers to the ease with which stablecoins can be bought or sold in the market without significantly impacting their price. High liquidity ensures that users can readily convert stablecoins to other assets or fiat currency, maintaining their peg and facilitating smooth transactions. It is a crucial indicator of a stablecoin’s stability and market acceptance.
