$ETH
A coin pair with ETH (Ethereum) refers to trading one cryptocurrency directly against Ethereum on an exchange like Binance. Instead of buying coins with fiat money (like USD), you’re using ETH to trade for other cryptocurrencies — or trading other coins to acquire ETH.
For example:
• BTC/ETH means you’re trading Bitcoin against Ethereum.
• MATIC/ETH means you’re trading Polygon (MATIC) against Ethereum.
When you see a pair like XYZ/ETH, the price shows how much ETH you need to buy one unit of XYZ.
Why Trade with ETH Pairs?
• Lower Fees: ETH pairs can sometimes have lower transaction fees compared to fiat trades.
• More Options: Some tokens are only available through ETH pairings, especially new or smaller projects.
• DeFi Access: Since ETH is the backbone of decentralized finance (DeFi), trading with ETH directly connects you to that ecosystem.
