### 🔁 **What Are Trading Pairs in Crypto?**

In cryptocurrency trading, a **trading pair** shows which two assets you're trading between. For example:

* **BTC/USDT** means you're trading **Bitcoin** for **Tether (USDT)**.

* **ETH/BTC** means you're trading **Ethereum** against **Bitcoin**.

Trading pairs help determine the **value of one crypto relative to another**. If you're using USDT (a stablecoin), and buying BTC, the **BTC/USDT** pair tells you how many dollars one Bitcoin is worth.

There are two main types:

1. **Crypto-to-Fiat pairs** (e.g., BTC/USD, ETH/INR)

2. **Crypto-to-Crypto pairs** (e.g., ETH/BTC, SOL/BNB)

Understanding trading pairs is essential for navigating exchanges and placing the right trades.
