The Foundation of Every Crypto Trade
In crypto, a trading pair tells you what two assets you're exchanging. Understanding them is key to navigating the market like a pro.
🔹 Example: In the ETH/USDT pair, you're trading Ethereum (ETH) against Tether (USDT).
🔹 If you buy ETH/USDT, you're spending USDT to get ETH.
🔹 If you sell ETH/USDT, you're exchanging ETH for USDT.
There are two main types of pairs:
✅ Crypto-to-Stablecoin (e.g., BTC/USDT) – Best for cashing in or out
✅ Crypto-to-Crypto (e.g., ETH/BTC) – Ideal for portfolio rotation
