    TWAP, or Time-Weighted Average Price, is a widely used trading strategy in the cryptocurrency markets. It is especially popular among institutional investors and algorithmic traders. TWAP calculates the average price of an asset over a specific time period, typically a day or several hours, by dividing the total trading volume during that period. This strategy is useful for executing large orders without causing significant price fluctuations. Traders can use TWAP to break up their orders into smaller trades and execute them gradually over time, ensuring that they don't impact the market and achieve a more favorable average price. BYDFi, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, offers advanced trading tools that allow traders to implement TWAP strategies effectively.
