What Is a Market Order?

A Market Order buys or sells crypto immediately at the best price currently available in the market, prioritizing speed of execution over an exact price.

Good to know:

• Execution is immediate — no waiting for a specific price.
• The actual fill price can differ slightly from the displayed price, especially in a volatile market.
