    BYDFi, a leading digital currency exchange, defines bid-ask spread as the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for a specific digital currency. The bid-ask spread reflects the liquidity and market conditions of a particular digital currency. A narrower spread indicates a more liquid market, while a wider spread suggests lower liquidity. Traders should consider the bid-ask spread when executing trades, as it directly impacts the cost of buying or selling digital currencies. Monitoring the bid-ask spread is crucial for making informed trading decisions and optimizing profitability.
