KuCoin Records $490,000 in Near-Market Depth
KuCoin had about $490,000 in combined BTC and ETH spot liquidity within 0.01% of the market price, ranking third among the eight exchanges reviewed.
This shows how much buying and selling liquidity was available close to the market price. More liquidity helps orders execute closer to the quoted price, but results vary depending on order size and market conditions.
Bitcoin Slippage Remains Low

For a $500,000 order, median slippage was 0.013%, tied for third-lowest. Slippage measures the difference between the expected price and the simulated execution price.
TokenInsight highlighted KuCoin as one of the leading exchanges for BTC spot execution in its analysis.
KuCoin Posts Narrowest ETH Spread
KuCoin had the narrowest median Ether (ETH) spot bid-ask spread among the eight exchanges, at 0.040 basis points.
The bid-ask spread is the difference between the highest price buyers will pay and the lowest price sellers will accept. A smaller spread generally means tighter pricing.
KuCoin was slightly ahead of the other closely matched exchanges in the report. Overall, the results placed KuCoin among the exchanges surveyed by TokenInsight for BTC and ETH spot liquidity.
