The price displayed on the cryptocurrency’s detail page is the mark price, which is the midpoint of the bid and ask prices.

When you’re buying a coin, your order may execute at the ask price, which is higher than the mark price. When you’re selling a coin, your order may execute at the bid price, which is lower than the mark price.

Cryptocurrency prices are volatile. To help protect against dramatic price moves, if the price fluctuates more than 5% since the market order to buy or sell is placed, the order will be canceled automatically.
