#TradingPairs101 – What Are You Really Trading?
A trading pair lets you swap one asset for another—like BTC/USDT.
Here, you’re trading Bitcoin against Tether (a stablecoin). Simple, right?
But here’s the key:
You’re not just buying BTC—you’re selling USDT to get it.
Every trade is a two-way street.
🔹 Want to buy ETH with BNB? Use the ETH/BNB pair.
🔹 Holding only USDT? Stick to pairs that list USDT as the quote asset.
🧠 Pro tip: Choose pairs with strong liquidity for better prices and faster execution.
Understanding trading pairs means understanding what your money’s actually doing.
