$BTC What Are Trading Pairs in Crypto?

To trade crypto, you need to understand pairs—like $BTC/$USDT or $ETH/$BNB.

💡 What’s a Trading Pair?

It shows what you’re buying and what you’re using to buy it.

Example:

👉 $BTC/$USDT = You’re buying Bitcoin using Tether (USDT).

👉 $SOL/$BNB = You’re buying Solana using BNB.

🧠 Why It Matters:

✅ You can’t buy every coin with your local currency

✅ Some tokens are only available via crypto-to-crypto pairs

✅ Knowing the right pair = less confusion and better trades
