Trading in liquid digital asset markets
Alongside his work as an entrepreneur and technology founder, Ahmad Athamneh is engaged in large-volume cryptocurrency trading as a Bitcoin and XRP trader — the kind of participant often described as a crypto whale, whose orders are large relative to the liquidity available at any given moment.
His activity concentrates on two assets: Bitcoin, the largest and most liquid digital asset, and XRP, one of the most actively traded. Concentrating on a small number of deep markets is a deliberate choice: at large volume, the structure of a market — where liquidity sits, how quickly it replenishes and how prices respond to size — matters as much as the direction of the price itself.

Bitcoin: depth, cycles and discipline
Bitcoin trades continuously across a large number of venues and has the deepest liquidity in the digital asset market. That depth makes it the natural core for large-volume spot trading, but it does not remove the practical questions that size brings.
Spot trading
Trading Bitcoin itself, bought and sold for immediate settlement, without leverage built into the instrument.
Market liquidity
Liquidity varies by venue, trading pair and time of day. Large orders are planned around when and where it is deepest.
Order book depth
The volume resting near the current price determines how far a large order moves the market before it is filled.
Price volatility
Bitcoin can move sharply within hours. Volatility widens spreads and thins the book precisely when traders most want to act.
Market cycles
Bitcoin has historically moved through extended expansions and contractions. Position size and timing must account for the phase of the cycle.
Execution
Splitting orders over time and across venues reduces market impact; urgency is weighed against the cost of moving the price.
Large-position risk
Large positions need defined limits, an exit plan for adverse moves, and attention to counterparty and custody risk on every venue used.
XRP (Ripple Ecosystem) · Digital asset trading
XRP: liquidity and execution in an active market
XRP is one of the most actively traded digital assets, with spot markets on many major exchanges. Its liquidity profile differs from Bitcoin's, and those differences shape how large orders are handled.
XRP spot markets
Spot trading of XRP against major currencies and stablecoins, on venues selected for depth and reliability.
Liquidity and activity
Trading activity in XRP can rise sharply around market-moving news, changing the depth available within minutes.
Exchange market depth
Depth is spread across many venues, so the liquidity visible on one exchange is only part of the market.
Execution
Larger orders are paced to the depth available, so that the act of trading does not set an unfavourable price.
Volatility
XRP has a history of large, fast price moves, which calls for conservative position sizing.
Infrastructure
Venue reliability, withdrawal processes and custody arrangements are part of the trading decision, not an afterthought.
Ahmad Athamneh has no partnership or affiliation with Ripple, the XRP Ledger Foundation or any XRP-related organisation. The XRP symbol is shown only to identify the asset.
Large-volume trading
The Discipline Behind Large-Volume Trading
Large-volume trading is shaped less by prediction than by process. The disciplines below are standard considerations for any participant trading at size; they describe how such trading is approached, not proprietary methods or results.
Liquidity assessment
Before trading, measure how much can be bought or sold near the current price, on which venues and at what time.
Slippage management
Every large order pays some difference between the expected and the achieved price. Keeping that difference small is a primary objective.
Execution strategy
Decide how an order is worked — all at once, in slices over time, or across venues — according to urgency and depth.
Position sizing
Size each position so that a severe adverse move remains survivable and consistent with the capital at risk.
Market depth
Watch how depth changes, not just the price. Thinning books are often an early sign of a volatile move.
Risk exposure
Track total exposure across assets, venues and counterparties, including the risk of an exchange failing.
Capital preservation
Protecting capital comes before seeking return. A loss avoided compounds as surely as a gain achieved.
Volatility
Treat volatility as a cost to be managed as well as an opportunity, adjusting size as conditions change.

Principles
Trading Philosophy
Discipline
Rules are set before a trade, when judgement is clear, and followed during it, when emotion is strongest.
Market understanding
Price is the result of who is trading, where and why. Understanding the participants matters as much as reading the chart.
Liquidity
At size, the question is not only whether a price is attractive but whether the market can absorb the trade at that price.
Risk awareness
Every position is considered first for what it could lose, including risks outside the market: custody, venues and counterparties.
Execution
Good ideas can be undone by poor execution. How a trade is carried out is part of the decision itself.
Long-term perspective
Digital asset markets move in cycles. A long horizon reduces the pressure to act on every move.
