#TradingPairs101
Trading pairs represent the two assets you’re swapping in a trade, like BTC/USDT or ETH/BNB. The first asset is what you're buying or selling, and the second is the quote currency used to determine value. For example, in BTC/USDT, you're trading Bitcoin against Tether. Some pairs are crypto-to-fiat, while others are crypto-to-crypto. Availability of trading pairs depends on the exchange. Popular pairs usually have better liquidity and tighter spreads. Understanding trading pairs helps you choose the right market, reduce fees, and optimize your trading strategy. Always check volume and volatility before trading a pair.
