🔹 What is a Trading Pair?

A trading pair lets you exchange one asset for another.

You’re buying Asset A using Asset B.

🔸 Quote vs Base Asset

• Base: The asset you want to buy or sell

• Quote: The asset used to price the base

If the pair shows 1.5, it means 1 unit of the base equals 1.5 units of the quote.
