#TradingPairs101

Trading pairs represent two assets that can be exchanged for each other on a crypto exchange, like BTC/USDT or ETH/BTC. The first asset is what you're buying or selling, and the second is what you're using to trade. For example, in BTC/USDT, you're trading Bitcoin against Tether (a stablecoin). Trading pairs help determine an asset’s price relative to another. They are essential for liquidity and market access. Some pairs involve fiat (e.g., USD), others crypto-to-crypto. Choosing the right pair affects fees, speed, and price efficiency. Understanding pairs helps traders navigate markets and make smarter buying or selling decisions.
