#TradingPairs101 Crypto trading pairs are the foundation of every trade in the market. A trading pair represents two different assets you can trade between – for example, BTC/USDT. The first currency is what you’re buying or selling; the second is the quote currency. Understanding which pairs have high volume and tight spreads can help you reduce trading costs. Exotic or lesser-known pairs may have less liquidity and higher volatility. Traders should consider pair correlation, volume, and volatility when choosing which pair to trade. Good pair selection is just as important as technical analysis in crypto.
