#TradingPairs101 Trading pairs in cryptocurrency refer to the combination of two assets that can be exchanged on a trading platform. Common examples include BTC/ETH or USD/BTC. The first asset is the "base currency," while the second is the "quote currency," determining the value of the base currency. For example, in BTC/USD, the price indicates how many dollars one Bitcoin costs. Trading pairs are essential for market activity, enabling users to exchange one cryptocurrency for another or for fiat. They vary across exchanges, with popular pairs often featuring high liquidity. Some pairs involve stablecoins, providing a stable value reference during trades.
