$BONK's quoted spread was about 0.33% on Binance, versus 0.23% for $PEPE in the same market check. That gap is a trading cost worth comparing before chasing a meme coin.
The spread is the distance between the best buying and selling quotes. Buying immediately at the ask and selling at the bid would lose that gap, even before fees, if those quotes stayed unchanged.
Why it matters: a low token price does not mean cheap execution. Compare spreads and available order sizes, not just the number of zeros.
The downside risk: quotes can thin out during a selloff, making an urgent exit more expensive.
