It is believed that cash has absolute, or 100%, liquidity. In other words, cash will be accepted always and everywhere. However, the payment of large bills in cash may become the basis for an investigation by the tax authorities for tax evasion. Some banks have introduced special fees for accepting cash for crediting them to a checking account, that is, you need to pay for the contribution of your own cash to your account. Therefore, the liquidity of cash can no longer be considered absolute.

A liquidity provider is someone who provides an opportunity to buy or sell a trading asset at the current price in the shortest possible time. Usually, the provider buys an asset from you with its own funds and puts it up for sale later. Basically, the role of liquidity providers is assumed by banks, exchangers, investment and pension funds, stock brokers, etc.

The meaning of the term

Liquid means being „converted into money“. Liquidity in the economy is the property of assets to be quickly sold at a price close to the market. The closest analogue is “solvent demand”.

It is believed that cash has absolute, or 100%, liquidity. In other words, cash will be accepted always and everywhere. However, the payment of large bills in cash may become the basis for an investigation by the tax authorities for tax evasion. Some banks have introduced special fees for accepting cash for crediting them to a checking account, that is, you need to pay for the contribution of your own cash to your account. Therefore, the liquidity of cash can no longer be considered absolute.

Any other movable and immovable property, as well as intangible assets, has its own liquidity. If the product is sold quickly, it is called highly liquid, if it is slow, it is called low liquid. The market of highly liquid goods bears a similar name - the highly liquid market. If the product cannot be sold at all, it is called illiquid or “illiquid”.

Provider is a company that provides any services. Basically, we use the term provider in the context of Internet service providers providing access to the Internet. Quite often, providers are called commercial organizations that provide digital services: service providers, hosting providers, payment providers. Separately, liquidity providers are financial organizations that provide working capital to the markets. In relation to them, the term “liquidity” is used as a synonym for the concept of “working capital“, for example, “the bank has put liquidity on the FOREX market”.

The term “liquidity provider” appeared when money and valuables received digital form. Although before this term there were many people and organizations that immediately gave money for goods, for example pawnshops or antique sellers.
