What are trading pairs?

Trading pairs are assets that can be traded for each other on an exchange. A trading pair consists of a base asset and a quote asset:

• Base Asset: The first cryptocurrency in the pair, which you’re buying or selling.
• Quote asset: The second cryptocurrency, in which prices are quoted.

For example, in the BNB/BTC trading pair, BNB is the base asset, and BTC is the quote asset.

4. Click [Spot] on the top right and select [Buy]. Then, choose between [Limit], [Market], or [Stop-limit] orders and enter the price and amount you wish to purchase. You may also drag the bar below the [Amount] field to customize the percentage of the Spot Wallet balance to use for the order.

5. Click [Buy BTC] to place the order.

Note:

• The default order type is a limit order. You can use a market order if you want an order filled as soon as possible. For more information, please refer to What are Market Order and Limit Order, and How to Place Them.
• For example, if BTC is trading at 65000 USDC, but you want to buy it at 63000 USDC, you can place a limit order. Your order will be executed when the market price drops to 63000 USDC.
