Trading Pairs 101***

In cryptocurrency trading, a trading pair represents two different currencies that can be exchanged for one another. It's written in the format BASE/QUOTE, such as BTC/USDT. This means you’re using Tether (USDT) to buy or sell Bitcoin (BTC). The price shown tells you how much of the quote currency (USDT) is needed to buy one unit of the base currency (BTC).

Trading pairs help users compare prices and trade efficiently across platforms. Common pairs include ETH/BTC, BNB/USDT, or SOL/ETH. Some pairs involve fiat currencies like USD, EUR, or INR, while others are purely crypto-to-crypto.

To choose a pair, consider liquidity, volume, and your goals. If you're holding USDT and want Ethereum, look for ETH/USDT.
