🔁 Trading Pairs 101 – What is a Trading Pair and Why is it Important?

In the world of crypto, a "trading pair" is the way you swap one asset for another. For example, when you trade BTC/USDT, it means you are buying or selling Bitcoin with USDT (Tether).

📌 Basic Structure:

Pair A/B = you use coin B to buy coin A or sell A to get B.

Example: ETH/BTC → Use BTC to buy ETH, or sell ETH to get BTC.

🔍 What are the main types of pairs?

Crypto-to-Stablecoin: BTC/USDT, ETH/USDC – helps determine the asset's value in USD.

Crypto-to-Crypto: ETH/BTC, SOL/ETH – for those looking to rotate their portfolio.

Fiat-to-Crypto: BTC/VND (on P2P or local exchange) – usually for beginners.

💡 Why is it important to understand trading pairs?

Helps determine the correct exchange rate before placing an order.

Optimizes asset conversion strategies in bull or bear markets.

Avoid confusion: For example, BTC/ETH ≠ ETH/BTC – the values are inverted.

👉 Mastering trading pairs helps you trade confidently and avoid unnecessary risks.
