A trading pair is the combination of two assets that you can exchange with each other, such as BTC/ETH or BTC/USDT. The first asset (BTC) is the one you buy or sell; the second (ETH or USDT) is what you pay with. These pairs allow you to measure the relative value between cryptocurrencies or between crypto and fiat money. Choosing the right pair affects the price, liquidity, and fees. The more liquid a pair is, the better the execution of your order will be. Being well-informed about trading pairs is key to making smart decisions on any exchange platform.
