When newcomers evaluate a project and consider buying, they often focus on the price chart. A series of continuous green candles can create the impression that it's a strong project. However, this is not entirely accurate.

DeFi OG, on the other hand, approach it differently. They prioritize assessing the liquidity of the token. If a token has deep liquidity relative to its circulating supply and market cap, it is generally considered a stronger and safer project to invest in. Why? Because thick liquidity ensures price stability, reduces slippage, and indicates a healthier market structure for trading

The ability to buy/sell tokens quickly with minimal price impact outweighs short-term price movements.

• Tokens with high trading volume-to-market cap ratios reflect genuine demand and lower price manipulation risks.

• Most trading pairs maintain liquidity below 5% of total market cap, the remaining portion not in circulation will be easily dumped onto the token's LP when needed. Tokens exceeding 15% liquidity-to-market cap ratios signal strong fundamentals and growth potential.

• Strong liquidity attracts traders/institutions by reducing slippage and improving price predictability.

• More traders → deeper liquidity → lower transaction costs → further user adoption.

• Reduced "rug pull" risks when liquidity is spread across multiple pools/exchanges.

• Projects focusing on liquidity (e.g., liquidity mining incentives) often maintain stronger, more stable communities.

Long-term market confidence hinges on liquidity depth, not short-term token prices. Assets with liquidity ratios exceeding market norms (e.g., 15%+ liquidity/Mcap) often represent undervalued opportunities.
