#TradingPairs101

In crypto trading, a trading pair represents two different assets that can be traded against each other on an exchange like Binance. For example, in the BTC/USDT pair, Bitcoin (BTC) is traded against Tether (USDT), a stablecoin. If you're buying BTC/USDT, you're using USDT to buy BTC; if you're selling, you're exchanging BTC for USDT.

Trading pairs are usually categorized as crypto-to-stablecoin (e.g., ETH/USDT), crypto-to-crypto (e.g., ETH/BTC), or crypto-to-fiat (e.g., BTC/EUR). Choosing the right pair depends on your goals—whether you're holding, trading for profit, or converting between assets. Understanding pairs is key to navigating the crypto markets effectively.
