Trading Pairs 101 is the introduction to the concept of trading pairs in crypto.

A trading pair represents two currencies that can be exchanged with each other, such as BTC/USDT. The first asset (BTC) is what you are buying or selling, and the second (USDT) is the quote currency, used to measure the value.

Common types:

• Crypto/Stablecoin: BTC/USDT, ETH/USDC – ideal for knowing the value in dollars.

• Crypto/Crypto: ETH/BTC, SOL/ETH – useful for those who do arbitrage or want to accumulate a specific coin.

Understanding pairs helps to choose good exchange routes and avoid losses in fees or slippage.
