Illiquidity

A state when an asset (like a coin) cannot be readily purchased or sold due to a dearth of buyers or sellers in the market. Limited numbers of buyers or sellers can lead to significantly higher prices (with fewer sellers demanding a premium) or considerably lower prices (as fewer buyers seek discounts).
