🚀 What Is a Trading Pair, Anyway?

In simple terms:

A trading pair tells you what two assets you can exchange with each other.

For example:

BTC/USDT means you can trade Bitcoin for Tether (USDT) or vice versa.

ETH/BTC means you’re trading Ethereum for Bitcoin.

Instead of buying crypto with cash, you’re often swapping one coin for another. That’s where trading pairs come in.
