#TradingPairs101 Cryptocurrency trading pairs are combinations of two assets between which an exchange occurs on the exchange (for example, BTC/USDT). They indicate how much of one currency is needed to purchase another. There are crypto-crypto (ETH/BTC), crypto-fiat (BTC/USD), and stablecoin pairs (USDT/USDC). Trading pairs simplify the choice of asset for trading and help find profitable exchange routes. The price of the pair reflects the rate: ETH/BTC = 0.065 means that 1 ETH costs 0.065 BTC. When trading, it is important to consider the volume, spread, and fees. Some assets are traded not directly, but through an intermediate currency, for example through USDT or ETH.
