#TradingPairs101

A trading pair represents the two assets being exchanged in a trade, such as BTC/USDT or ETH/BTC. The first asset is what you're buying or selling; the second is what you're using to pay. For example, in BTC/USDT, you're trading Bitcoin against Tether (USDT). Trading pairs help determine asset value in real time. They are essential for navigating exchanges, especially when moving between crypto and fiat or swapping one crypto for another. Pairs are usually listed by liquidity, popularity, and market demand. Understanding trading pairs allows you to strategize better, avoid unnecessary conversions, and reduce fees.
