Ever seen BTC/USDT or ETH/BTC on exchanges like Binance and wondered what it means?

Let’s break it down 👇

📌 What is a Trading Pair?

A trading pair lets you swap one asset for another. It shows the two currencies you're trading between.

🪙 Example:

BTC/USDT = You're buying or selling Bitcoin using Tether (USDT).

ETH/BTC = You're trading Ethereum for Bitcoin (or vice versa).

🔄 Base vs Quote Currency

Base currency (left): The asset you're buying or selling.

Quote currency (right): The asset you're using to price or buy the base.

💡 Tip: If you want to buy BTC with USDT, look for the BTC/USDT pair.

🎯 Why It Matters:

Choosing the right pair ensures you're using the correct route to enter or exit a position—maximizing efficiency and minimizing fees.
