$SHIB's quoted spread was about 0.20%, versus 0.013% for $DOGE on Binance. That made SHIB's gap roughly 16 times wider relative to price in this snapshot.
The spread is the gap between the best buying and selling quotes. It matters because buying immediately and selling immediately can cost money even before fees, without any broader market move.
For this meme-coin comparison, a smaller token price does not mean cheaper execution. Check the spread before comparing entry costs.
The downside risk: quotes can disappear or widen during selling, and larger orders may fill at worse prices than the best quote.
