Towards the end of last year, I published the first liquidity ranking system for crypto assets, comparing each asset’s liquidity ranking to its market cap and investigating which token’s market cap is the most misleading from a liquidity standpoint.In Q1 of this year I provided an update to the ranking system as overall market liquidity hit 10 month lows. The good news is that global liquidity has been more or less flat over Q2, with no further drops apart from  the tokens featured in the SEC lawsuits and a handful of exchange-specific drops in liquidity, such as Binance.US.
