Understanding Trading Pairs in Crypto
A trading pair shows how one cryptocurrency is valued against another — like BTC/USDT or ETH/BUSD. When you trade BTC/USDT, you’re buying or selling Bitcoin using Tether (USDT). The first coin is the base, the second is the quote.
Choosing the right pair matters. Some pairs have better liquidity, lower fees, or tighter spreads. Always check volume before entering a trade.
New to crypto? Start with stablecoin pairs like ETH/USDT — they’re easier to understand and track. As you gain experience, explore altcoin-to-altcoin pairs.
Mastering trading pairs is step one to trading smarter.
