#TradingPairs101 What Are Trading Pairs?
When you trade crypto, you’re always exchanging one asset for another — and that’s called a trading pair.
🔹 Example:
If you're trading BTC/USDT, you're exchanging Bitcoin for Tether (or vice versa).
🔸 Base Currency: The first asset (e.g., BTC)
🔸 Quote Currency: The second asset used to price the base (e.g., USDT)
✅ Why it matters:
• Helps determine price
• Gives access to different markets
• Shows liquidity options
• Impacts trading strategy
💡 Tip: Start with major pairs like BTC/USDT or ETH/USDT before exploring altcoin pairs!
