In a crypto exchange, an order book play a very important role and is an integral feature of any crypto exchange. An order book in a crypto exchange is simply a list containing all the sell and buy orders for a particular crypto trading pair present on the crypto exchange and is organized according to the price levels, from the lowest prices all the way up to the highest prices. All the sell and buy orders on the order book are all open orders which means that they are not yet filled. Once an order is filled, it is removed from the order book. The main purpose of every order book on any crypto exchange is to provide a list of all the amount of the crypto pair that is placed for sell or to buy at a particular price.
How The Crypto Exchange Order Book Differs From the Traditional Market Sector
There are a couple of differences between a crypto order book and the local market. Some of the difference between a crypto order book and the local market are;
In crypto order book, the transactions are controlled automatically. While in a local market, the transactions are controlled manually.
An order book operates 24/7 round the clock. Which means that there are time limitations. While a local market has time limitations. It can only operate at specific times.
Trading in an order book is much more secure than trading in a local market.
A crypto order book uses a variety of different trading pairs for example LTC/BTC, LTC/USDC, LTC/ETH, LTC/USD, LTC/EUR are all trading pairs that can be found in an order book. While a local market, only one currency is used as the trading pair.
A crypto order book has all the open sell or buy orders transparent for every user on the exchange. While in a local market, the orders are not transparent.
In a crypto order book, a crypto can be traded for another crypto. Example Litecoin can be traded for Ethereum. While in a local market, an item cannot be exchanged for another item. Only currencies can be traded for an item. Example, a chair cannot be traded for a pot, only currency like money can be traded for a chair or a pot.
An order book is only found on an online exchange. While a local market is only on a physical geographical location.
An order book keeps a record of all the sell and buy orders that are open on the exchange. While in a local market there are no record of any buy and sell orders that have not be transacted.
An order book is more efficient, which means that there are no human errors that can affect transactions. In a local market, human errors can affect transactions.
An order book transaction is much faster than a local market transaction since it operates automatically on the internet.
An order book can be accessed by anyone in any part of the world and at any time. While a local market can only be accessed by people in the same location.

Hello @designieplay
I confess I did not concia these differences, thanks for sharing somehow the content serves me as a guide, it is logical that in the local market transactions are controlled manually, and this is what makes the big difference and gives advantage to the cryptocurrency market.
Best regards, be well.
