#TradingPairs101
In crypto trading, a trading pair shows how one asset is valued against another. For example, in the BTC/USDT pair, you're buying or selling Bitcoin (BTC) using Tether USDT. The first currency is what you’re trading (base), and the second is what you're pricing it in (quote). Choosing the right pair affects liquidity, fees, and potential profits. Whether you’re swapping altcoins or cashing out to fiat-backed stablecoins, understanding pairs is key to smarter, faster trades. Always check the spread and volume before jumping in!
