$BTC

A BTC pair (like ETH/BTC or BNB/BTC) lets you trade another cryptocurrency against Bitcoin.

Example:

ETH/BTC means you’re buying or selling Ethereum using Bitcoin.

If the price goes up, it means ETH is gaining value against BTC.

Why It Matters:

BTC pairs are often used for altcoin trading.

Great for tracking performance relative to Bitcoin, not just USD.

Popular on major exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and KuCoin.

Pro Tip:

Use BTC pairs to spot strong altcoins when BTC is sideways or dropping.
