In low-liquidity micro-cap tokens, the displayed price can be misleading. Your portfolio may appear to be worth hundreds of thousands—or even millions—of dollars on paper, but when you try to sell, you may discover that there are not enough buyers in the order book.


Price alone does not determine whether you can sell at that value. What truly matters is market depth and real buy-side liquidity. If buy orders are limited, a large sell order will quickly consume the available bids, causing significant slippage and driving the price down. As a result, much of the position may be sold at prices far below the quoted market price.
This is why there is often a huge difference between a token's theoretical value and its realizable value. In low-liquidity markets, liquidity—not the displayed price—determines how much money you can actually extract from the market.
