Cryptocurrency liquidity

This site measures the liquidity of cryptocurrencies. The liquidity of an asset is a measure of how much its price moves in response to buying/selling. The less the price moves in reponse to buying/selling of a specific quantity, the more liquid the asset. This site measures liquidity as the amount of USD that can be exchanged for a given cryptocurrency while moving the price in any market by at most 0.5%.
