What is a BTC Pair?

A **BTC pair** is a cryptocurrency trading pair where Bitcoin (BTC) is the base currency, used to measure the value of another cryptocurrency (e.g., ETH/BTC). The price reflects how much Bitcoin is needed to buy one unit of the other crypto.

For example, if the **ETH/BTC pair** is 0.03 BTC, one Ethereum is worth 0.03 Bitcoin. BTC pairs are common on exchanges, allowing traders to compare and trade altcoins relative to Bitcoin. While offering liquidity and trading opportunities, BTC pairs are subject to Bitcoin’s price volatility, impacting the value of other cryptocurrencies.
