$BTC

Pairing Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC) offers several benefits for traders and investors. These two leading cryptocurrencies provide portfolio diversification, reducing risk by balancing different market movements. ETH/BTC trading pairs allow users to capitalize on price fluctuations between the two, often creating arbitrage opportunities. Ethereum’s smart contract functionality complements Bitcoin’s status as a store of value, giving exposure to different use cases in the blockchain space. Moreover, trading ETH against BTC often has lower fees and faster transaction times compared to fiat pairs. Holding both also helps hedge against volatility, since each coin may perform differently under changing market conditions and trends.
