🔄 Coin pairs with BTC How do they work and why are they important?

If you trade crypto, you've surely seen tags like ETH/BTC, SOL/BTC, or ADA/BTC. But what do these coin pairs actually mean and why are BTC pairs especially important?

Let’s clarify! 👇

🪙 What is a “trading pair”?

A trading pair shows how much one cryptocurrency is worth in relation to another.

➡ For example, ETH/BTC means: “how much Bitcoin is needed to buy 1 Ethereum.”

📌 Why BTC as the primary currency?

Bitcoin ($BTC) is the first and most valuable cryptocurrency and is often used as the base currency when trading altcoins.

Many altcoins do not have a direct pair with fiat currencies ($, €, RSD), but they do with BTC.

📊 What does it mean when an altcoin moves in a BTC pair?

• If ETH/BTC is rising, it means that Ethereum is gaining value relative to Bitcoin.

• If it is falling, then Bitcoin is strengthening against ETH, even if ETH is rising in dollars.

➡ That’s why it’s important to track both USD and BTC pairs, as they provide different market perspectives.

💡 When to use BTC pairs?

✅ When you want to assess the performance of an altcoin against BTC, rather than in fiat currency.

✅ When trading within an exchange without needing to convert to USD.

✅ When using BTC as the basis of your portfolio.

⚠️ What to pay attention to?

• The volatility of BTC directly affects all pairs.

• Liquidity: BTC pairs are usually more liquid than others.

• Technical analysis is useful, but it can differ for BTC and USD pairs of the same coin.
