📘 Why Are Trading Pairs Important?
Price Reference: They help determine how much of one asset is worth in terms of another.
Liquidity: Popular pairs (like BTC/ETH or BTC/USDT) usually have higher liquidity.
Access: Not all coins can be bought directly with fiat; trading pairs allow conversions (e.g., USD → BTC → ALTCOIN).
