$BTC A coin pair with BTC (Bitcoin) means you can trade another cryptocurrency directly against Bitcoin on an exchange.
Instead of buying a coin with USD or USDT, you buy it using BTC.
Example of BTC pairs:
• ETH/BTC → Trade Ethereum against Bitcoin
• ADA/BTC → Trade Cardano against Bitcoin
• SOL/BTC → Trade Solana against Bitcoin
How it works:
• If you think a coin will perform better relative to Bitcoin, you can trade that pair.
• Profit is measured in BTC, not in dollars.
