What is Slippage Crypto?
Slippage is price variation while buying or selling cryptocurrencies on applications with an order book system. For example, if you’re trying to sell 10 BTC for $100 (assuming a price of $10/BTC), there may not be users willing to purchase that exact quantity at the price you quoted. So the price slips to the next buy order with a lower price, say, $9.5 for 4 BTCs left in your sell order. This continues till your sell order is complete.
