Trading, and the orders waiting near the price

Orange is a day's trading. Blue is the buy and sell orders waiting within 2% of the price, drawn to the same scale. We could read 100% of what Bitfinex reports, across its busiest 108 trading pairs.

How much it trades, and how many orders stand behind it

A day's trading, the orders waiting near the price, and how the two compare.

Trading in 24 hours$237m

Across 108 trading pairs and 55 coins we could read.

Orders waiting within 2% of the price$210m

Buy and sell orders together. Rank 18 of 122 among the exchanges we could read.

Trading per $1 of waiting orders1.1x

Rank 91 of 122. The typical exchange: 3.8x.

What this meansBitfinex does not show that problem: its price gap and its waiting orders tell the same story. Its average price gap is 0.065%, rank 68 of 122 from smallest. A small price gap does not mean many orders are waiting behind it.

All five trading checks together

This score combines five checks on how well the exchange trades. It knows nothing about what the exchange owes or holds for customers, so it is not a safety score.

Compared with exchanges its own size

Comparing a small exchange with Binance tells you little. These are the exchanges closest to it in daily trading ($225m to $242m), and how much each trades per $1 of waiting orders.

Bitstamp4.0x

Bitfinex (this venue)1.1x
What this meansThe typical exchange of this size trades 4.0x per $1 of waiting orders. That is the fairer comparison.

What it leans on.

How much of its trading runs through one pair, whether its orders sit mostly on one side, and what is left without Bitcoin and Tether.

Busiest pairBTC/USD

39% of its trading. Its top three pairs make up 76%.

Orders on one side12%

0% means the orders are even on both sides. Higher means it is easier to buy than to sell, or the other way round.

Without Bitcoin and Tether11%

of its trading is left, and 18% of its waiting orders.
