TradingPair101: What Are Trading Pairs in Crypto?
A trading pair tells you which two assets you're swapping. For example, BTC/USDT means you're trading Bitcoin for Tether (or vice versa).
🔹 The first asset is what you're buying or selling (e.g., BTC).
🔹 The second asset is what you're using to make the trade (e.g., USDT).
Popular base currencies include USDT, BUSD, BTC, and ETH. Choosing the right pair matters—some pairs have better liquidity, lower fees, or tighter spreads.
Understanding trading pairs helps you navigate markets with confidence and pick the best route for your trades. 🧠💰
