#TradingPairs101 A trading pair shows the two assets being exchanged in a trade, like BTC/USDT or ETH/BTC. The first asset is what you’re buying or selling; the second is the currency used to price it. For example, in BTC/USDT, you buy or sell Bitcoin using Tether (USDT). Common base currencies include USDT, BUSD, BTC, and ETH. Trading pairs help compare value and liquidity between cryptocurrencies. Some pairs are highly liquid, while others may have low volume and higher risk. Choosing the right pair depends on your strategy, available assets, and market conditions. Always check fees, spread, and volume before trading.
