Trading pairs are an essential part of cryptocurrency trading. A trading pair represents two assets that can be traded against each other. For example, BTC/USDT means you’re trading Bitcoin against Tether. If you buy BTC/USDT, you’re buying Bitcoin using USDT. Choosing the right trading pair is important for liquidity and minimizing fees. Stablecoin pairs (like ETH/USDT) are more stable, while crypto-crypto pairs (like ETH/BTC) can be more volatile. Some pairs are more active, giving better opportunities, while others have low volume. Always check volume, spread, and volatility before selecting a trading pair—it can impact your profits.
