Do you have questions about what forex spread is? I just realized that quite a few people don't fully understand this concept, even though it's very important when trading.

Simply put, the spread is the difference between the bid price and the ask price of an asset. Imagine you're at a market: the buyer wants to pay 90 rubles for an apple, while the seller wants to sell at 100 rubles. That 10-ruble difference is called the spread. This applies to everything — stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies — they all have spreads.

Why is it important? A small spread means easier transactions, high liquidity assets, and you can quickly find a buyer or seller. But when the spread is large, everything becomes more difficult, prices can fluctuate sharply, and trading costs are higher.

You can see spreads everywhere — in stock markets, forex markets, and cryptocurrency exchanges. Essentially, it's how trading platforms make a profit. We often see the question "what is forex spread" when trading forex, but the principle remains the same.

Looking at the current market, coins like XRP, BNB, ORDI each have their own spreads depending on liquidity. Smaller spreads usually appear in assets that are traded more actively. Understanding this helps you choose better trading times and optimize costs.
