A trading pair shows two assets you can exchange (like BTC/USDT). The first is what you trade, the second shows the price.
Why use them?
- Trade cryptos directly without converting to cash
- Lower fees than multiple conversions

Popular pairs:
BTC/USDT (most common)

How to read:
BTC/USDT = 70,000 means 1 Bitcoin costs 70,000 USDT
