#TradingPairs101 In crypto trading, a "trading pair" refers to two currencies that can be traded against each other on an exchange. For example, ETH/BTC means you can trade Ethereum for Bitcoin. The first currency is the base currency (what you're buying or selling), and the second is the quote currency (what you’re using to make the trade). Understanding trading pairs is key to identifying market opportunities, managing risk, and navigating exchange options. Different platforms offer different pairs, so knowing which ones have high liquidity can help reduce fees and improve execution speed. Always check the pair before making a trade.
