What does BTC/USDT mean and why is it important?
When you trade on an exchange, you are always working with a pair of assets, not just one. Understanding trading pairs is the foundation of all crypto trading 👇
💱 What is a trading pair?
A trading pair is the ratio of the price of one asset to another.
For example:
• BTC/USDT = 105,000
This means: 1 BTC = 105,000 USDT
📌 Why is it important to understand pairs?
🔹 You are not just buying “Bitcoin” — you are exchanging USDT for BTC
🔹 Or vice versa: selling BTC for BNB if you are trading in the BTC/BNB pair
🔹 This affects: price, liquidity, fees, even your strategies
🧠 Different types of pairs:
1. Crypto to stablecoin — BTC/USDT, ETH/FDUSD
📈 Convenient for securing profits
2. Crypto to crypto — BTC/ETH, SOL/BNB
🔁 Often used for hedging or cross-trading
3. Fiat to crypto — BTC/EUR, ETH/TRY
💸 Convenient for depositing/withdrawing funds
⚠️ Common mistakes by beginners:
🚫 They think they “just bought a token”
🚫 They do not understand that different pairs have different prices and fees
🚫 They lose money when converting back and forth without accounting for spreads
