#TradingPairs101

A trading pair is a pair of assets that can be traded against each other. In cryptocurrency trading, pairs typically consist of a base asset and a quote asset. For example:

- *BTC/USDT*: Bitcoin (BTC) is the base asset, and Tether (USDT) is the quote asset.

- *ETH/BTC*: Ethereum (ETH) is the base asset, and Bitcoin (BTC) is the quote asset.

Trading pairs allow traders to exchange one asset for another, enabling speculation on price movements. Pairs can be fiat-based (e.g., BTC/USD) or crypto-based (e.g., ETH/BTC). Understanding trading pairs is essential for navigating cryptocurrency markets and executing trades effectively. Each pair has its own dynamics.
