We use data from cryptocurrency markets to analyze the accuracy of liquidity measures that are calculated from transactions data. We use benchmark measures calculated from high-frequency order book data to evaluate the performance of the transactions-based measures along three dimensions, the time-series correlation with the benchmark measures, the root mean squared and mean absolute error, and the liquidity ranking across three exchanges. The Abdi & Ranaldo (2017) estimator best captures the time series variation in liquidity. It also performs well in the cross-sectional dimension. When it comes to estimating the level of the benchmark measures the Kyle & Obizhaeva (2016) estimator and the Amihud (2002) illiquidity ratio perform best.
