• You’re buying BTC using ETH (or vice versa)

• Popular for altcoin trading on DEXs

🔹 Crypto-to-Stablecoin (e.g., ETH/USDT)

💡Tip:

The first asset is what you’re buying or selling,

The second is what you’re using to do it.

Example: In BTC/USDT, you’re trading BTC using USDT.

Understanding pairs helps you manage trades, track value, and swap efficiently.
