#TradingPairs101

Trading pairs consist of two assets: the base asset and the quote asset.

Take BTC/USDT as an example:

• BTC is the base asset — the cryptocurrency you want to trade.

• USDT is the quote asset — the currency you use to buy or sell the base asset.

The price you see tells you how much of the quote asset (USDT) you need to pay to buy one unit of the base asset (BTC).

Understanding trading pairs is key to navigating any crypto market with confidence!
