#TradingPair101 A trading pair shows the value of one cryptocurrency relative to another, allowing you to exchange between them directly. For example, in the BTC/USDT pair, you’re trading Bitcoin against Tether. If you buy BTC/USDT, you’re spending USDT to get BTC; if you sell, you’re converting BTC into USDT.

Trading pairs eliminate the need to convert everything into fiat. They make it easy to move between assets, especially when one currency is more volatile or trending. Some pairs use stablecoins (like USDT or BUSD) for lower risk, while others involve altcoins or major tokens (like ETH/BTC) for strategic swaps.
