$BTC
### Common BTC Trading Pairs:
1. **BTC/USDT:** The most popular pair globally. Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, offering stability against BTC's volatility.
2. **BTC/USDC:** Another major USD-pegged stablecoin pair, known for stronger regulatory compliance.
3. **BTC/BUSD:** Binance's USD stablecoin (less dominant now due to regulatory shifts).
4. **BTC/DAI:** A decentralized USD stablecoin alternative.
5. **Altcoin Pairs (e.g., BTC/ETH, BTC/SOL):** Trading Bitcoin against other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum or Solana. Shows BTC's value relative to other coins.
6. **Fiat Pairs (e.g., BTC/USD, BTC/EUR, BTC/KRW):** Directly trading BTC for traditional currencies on regulated exchanges. Common on platforms like Coinbase or Kraken.
**Why these pairs matter:** They provide liquidity, price discovery, and ways to enter/exit the Bitcoin market. Stablecoin pairs (especially BTC/USDT) dominate spot trading volume, while fiat pairs are crucial for on/off ramping. Altcoin pairs help gauge market sentiment between BTC and other assets. The choice depends on your exchange, region, and risk tolerance.
