## How AltaX determines and display price information on Alta or Exchange platform

For both digital and non-digital assets, the **Last Price** is determined by the price at which a buy and a sell order are matched on the Exchange (“***Last Traded***”), or also known as *matched orders*.

### Last price for Digital asset(s)

In the absence of any *matched orders* for a **digital asset**, the exchange will default to:

1. Price based on comparable transactions (“**Last Transacted**”) that involves the same asset or;
2. Price based on the initial listing price (“**Listing Price**”) as determined by the issuance of tokens for same asset

This approach allows investors to benchmark their holdings or order prices against external market valuations, providing a more accurate assessment of the asset's value.

### Last price for Non-Digital asset(s)

In the absence of any *matched orders* for **non-digital** **asset**, the exchange will default to:

1. The latest recorded ask price on the order book or;
2. The latest reference ask price for the underlying asset

### Last bid or ask for Digital asset(s)

The last bid and ask prices for a **digital asset** are shown based on the latest highest bid or lowest ask order that is **open** and placed in the order book.

If there are no open orders, a dash ("-") will be displayed.

### Last  bid or ask for Non-Digital asset(s)

The last bid and ask prices for a **non-digital asset** are displayed based on:

1. The latest open bid/ask order in the order book or;
2. If there are no open orders, the display will show: 
     1. The most recent known bid or ask price, regardless of its status *(closed or expired*) or;
     2. The latest reference bid or ask price that is available
