#TradingPairs101

A trading pair in crypto lets you exchange one asset for another. For example, BTC/USDT is a pair where you can trade Bitcoin for Tether or vice versa. The first asset (BTC) is what you're buying or selling; the second (USDT) is the currency used to quote its price. Popular pairs usually involve stablecoins like USDT, USDC, or major coins like ETH. Some platforms also offer pairs like ETH/BTC or niche altcoin combinations. Understanding trading pairs helps you choose the right market and avoid confusion. Always double-check the pair to make sure you're trading the assets you intend.
