#TradingPairs101 Trading Pairs 101: Understanding the Core of Crypto Trading

When trading crypto, you’re not just buying or selling a coin—you’re trading one asset for another. This is where trading pairs come in. A trading pair connects two different currencies or tokens, allowing you to exchange one for the other. Common examples include BTC/USDT, ETH/BTC, or BNB/USDC.

The first currency in a pair is the base currency (what you’re buying or selling), while the second is the quote currency (what you’re using to pay). For instance, if BTC/USDT = 70,000, you’re spending 70,000 USDT to buy 1 BTC.

There are three main types of trading pairs:

• Crypto-to-stablecoin (e.g. BTC/USDT)

• Crypto-to-crypto (e.g. ETH/BTC)

• Fiat-to-crypto (e.g. BTC/USD)

Understanding trading pairs helps you track price movements, make strategic swaps, and avoid unnecessary conversion fees. Always check volume and liquidity before trading—low-volume pairs can mean high slippage.
