You can say that about literally anything. The value of anything goes up if it's liquid.

Not quite. The spread narrows if it’s liquid. All else being equal, a liquid asset is preferred over an illiquid one, but liquidity does not mean something is more valuable.

It just means the price paid or received is closer to the consensus valuation.
