This is a YouTube video titled "The CoinMarketCap Feature That Finds 100x Altcoins" (created 2025-07-16) featuring a single speaker who explains how the Markets tabs on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko display liquidity depth metrics (the +2 / -2 capital required to move a coin by ±2%). The speaker uses Shiba Inu as an example, cites specific exchange amounts (Binance, Bybit, Coinbase, Crypto.com), and discusses how combined orderbooks and cross-exchange arbitrage affect how much capital is needed to move the price. The excerpt is instructional/analytical content about market depth and price impact in cryptocurrency markets.

So if we look at CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, they have this tab, and this is one of the most important perspectives when you're researching a coin, is to look at the +2 and -2 liquidity depth. But on both websites, you can click the tab called Markets. So for example, we were here, I clicked Markets, and if I come over here to Shiba Inu, same thing on CoinGecko. This is CoinGecko, you click Markets, and right here you can see a +2 and -2 depth. If I put my cursor over it, it says capital required to increase the price by 2%. So as you can see right here, these are all different exchanges where you can buy Shiba Inu. You got Binance, Bybit, Coinbase. On each of these exchanges, it requires about $575,000 to only increase the coin by 2%, right? Look, $450,000. And see, the thing is, this is all combined, meaning if somebody goes in and puts $1 million on Binance, they're gonna pump Shiba Inu by 4%. The thing is, there's a whole bunch of guys that will go to Coinbase. They have a cheaper Shiba Inu on Coinbase. They'll buy it from Binance, they'll sell it on Coinbase, and they'll even out the It's called arbitrage, and then they'll get the price differences and make money off of that, right? So really, it's a combination of all of these to pump Shiba Inu 2%. You have to add pretty much all of these, and we're talking about 30 tabs just to pump Shiba Inu 2%. The same thing with minus 2. So for example, if somebody sells 200,000 on Crypto.com, then it could drop Shiba Inu by 2% on that exchange, and then they have to get all of the money from all the other exchanges. So really, you have to combine combine all of these just to figure out exactly how much money it will take to drop the price of Shiba Inu by 2%. And that is a lot of money in context of cryptocurrency.
