#TradingPairs101 Understanding Trading Pairs in Crypto

A trading pair is a pair of two assets that are traded against each other, for example, BTC/USDT or ETH/BTC. When you buy BTC/USDT, it means you are using USDT to purchase BTC. This pair is important because it determines the conversion path between one asset and another. The most popular pairs usually involve stablecoins (such as USDT, USDC) or BTC/ETH. Understanding the available pairs and their transaction volumes helps traders choose markets with liquidity and volatility that match their strategy.
